From email chaos to
secure workplace,
with zero data loss.
How a GTA professional services firm with 30 users moved from old-style email and unmanaged devices to a fully secured, cloud-based environment, without losing a single file along the way.

The Challenge
When email lives on laptops and devices are unmanaged, your data is at risk.
The firm was running on old-style email, the kind where messages live on individual devices instead of in the cloud. That meant no backup, no recovery if a laptop failed, and email history scattered across 30 users with no central control.
On top of that, large local email files (some up to 10GB per user) sat unmanaged and unsearchable, one device failure from being lost permanently. And the 30 laptops in use across the firm had no encryption, no consistent security, and no central visibility.
For a professional services firm handling sensitive client information, this was a problem that couldn't keep waiting.
What Wingman Did
A full migration, with no data left behind.
Wingman migrated all 30 users to Microsoft 365, moving every mailbox to the cloud with full security, full backup, and full recoverability. All existing email history (including the large local files) was imported into structured cloud mailboxes with folder integrity intact, so nothing was lost in translation.
Every device was then enrolled into central management, with encryption, multi-factor login, and automated provisioning configured across the board. The work was completed entirely after hours, with zero data loss and zero impact on the firm's operations during the cutover.
