Successfully transitioning to Microsoft 365
Many Dutch SMEs are still working partly in Google Drive, Gmail and other separate tools, while Microsoft 365 offers the solution for secure, efficient and centralized collaboration. Our recent poll shows that 90% already work fully in Microsoft 365, but 10% are still partly or not at all switched over.
The result
❌ Duplicate files
❌ Waste of time and frustration
❌ Unnecessary questions and inefficiency
At ALTA-ICT B.V. we help companies with a structured migration and adoption of Microsoft 365 – ISO 27001, ISO 9001 and NEN 7510 certified – so your team can just work, without hassle.
What is Microsoft 365 and why is it important for Dutch companies?
Microsoft 365 is more than just Word, Excel and Outlook. It is a complete workplace in the cloud, with integrated communication, file storage and collaboration via Teams, SharePoint and OneDrive.
For SME companies in the Netherlands, this means:
✅ Better security (AVG/GDPR-compliant)
✅ Centralized storage and version management
✅ More efficient collaboration, also remotely
Microsoft 365 migration – step-by-step guide
1️⃣ Inventory – What data, applications and processes need to move over?
2️⃣ Migration Plan – Strategy for minimum downtime and maximum security.
3️⃣ Data migration – Transferring files, emails and calendars.
4️⃣ Adoption training – Teaching employees how to work with Teams, SharePoint and OneDrive.
5️⃣ Aftercare & support – 24/7 monitoring and support.
Common mistakes and how to avoid them
❌ Insufficient preparation → Consequence: data loss
❌ No adoption training → Employees continue to use old tools
❌ No security policy → Risk of data breach
At ALTA-ICT, we prevent these mistakes through structured processes and ISO-certified practices.
