Move from the system you have to the setup you need.
Microsoft projects rarely begin with a blank environment. We assess the source, destination, identities, domain access and data before recommending a route.
That can include moving Gmail or Google Workspace into Microsoft 365, consolidating IMAP or legacy hosted email, separating or combining Microsoft 365 tenants where appropriate, and moving suitable local or shared files into OneDrive or SharePoint.
Planning a Google Workspace migration?Common starting points
- Google Workspace and Gmail
- IMAP-hosted or legacy business email
- Existing Microsoft 365 tenants
- Local file servers and shared drives
- Unmanaged Windows devices
- Microsoft 365 without independent backup

Project requirements, responsibilities and likely disruption are discussed before production changes begin.

Who we work with
Microsoft expertise for businesses that need a defined outcome.
Projects are suitable for sole traders, established small businesses, growing SMEs, professional services firms and organisations without enough internal Microsoft expertise for a one-off change.
Small and growing businesses
Move away from personal email, informal file sharing or an environment that no longer fits the team.
Professional services
Improve business email, document access and device controls while keeping responsibilities clear.
Teams without project capacity
Add hands-on engineering support for a planned Microsoft change without outsourcing the whole IT function.
West Midlands coverage
Local project support, with wider UK delivery where appropriate.
Next Layer IT works with businesses across Cannock, Birmingham, Walsall, Wolverhampton, Stafford, Lichfield, Sutton Coldfield and the wider West Midlands. Many planning and configuration tasks can be delivered remotely, with on-site requirements agreed where useful.

Practical answers before you request a quote.
Clear answers to common questions about scope, timing and delivery.
Tell us about your projectWhat Microsoft 365 projects do you take on?
Current work includes Microsoft 365 and business email migrations, Google Workspace moves, SharePoint and OneDrive migrations, Intune setup, independent Microsoft 365 backup and practical tenant security configuration.
Do we need an ongoing IT support contract?
No. Next Layer IT is focused on defined project work. If you already have internal IT or another support provider, responsibilities can be agreed so the project fits around them.
Can you work with businesses outside the West Midlands?
Yes, where the project can be delivered effectively. The West Midlands is our local focus, while suitable Microsoft 365 projects for wider UK businesses can be assessed individually.
Will you tell us the price before starting?
Yes. We first clarify users, systems, data, licensing, access and complexity. The agreed scope and price are then set out before production work begins.
Can email and business files be migrated together?
Potentially. Email, OneDrive and SharePoint work can be scoped as one project, but file volume, permissions, structure and source systems need separate assessment.
Do you guarantee no downtime or data loss?
No responsible migration provider should make an unconditional promise without assessing the source. We plan to minimise disruption, explain known limitations and verify the agreed outcome after the move.
Discuss your project
Tell us what needs to move or improve.
