Moving to Espresso Cloud
Already have licences elsewhere? We can take them over.
If your Microsoft 365 licences are with another provider, or bought direct from Microsoft, you can move them to us. We handle the checks and the paperwork, and we look after everything from then on.
What stays the same
Your users, mailboxes, files, Teams and settings stay in your own Microsoft tenant. In most cases, moving changes who looks after and bills your licences, not where your data lives, so your team carries on working as normal.
How it works
-
Tell us what you have
Who you are with now, your Microsoft domain, which licences you have and how many, and when they renew. It takes a few minutes, and you can send it from your account or by phone or email.
-
We check it and give you a plan
We look at your current terms, such as renewal dates and any commitments, so you do not pay twice or lose licences. We tell you the best time to move and what it will cost, before you agree to anything. Prices are shown before VAT.
-
You approve us as your partner
A Microsoft admin in your business approves Espresso Cloud as your reseller. It is a few clicks, and we send you a link and walk you through it.
-
We move your licences
We take over the licences and billing, and confirm to you when it is done. Your users keep working throughout.
-
We look after it from then on
New starters, leavers, seat changes, renewals and problems are all handled by us. You manage it from your account, and you can talk to a person any time.
What we need from you
- The name of your current provider, or "direct from Microsoft".
- Your Microsoft domain, which looks like yourcompany.onmicrosoft.com, or your company email domain.
- The licences you have, how many of each, and their renewal dates.
- Someone with admin access to your Microsoft account, for the approval step.
Common questions
Will my team notice anything?
Usually not. Their sign-ins, mailboxes and files stay as they are. We tell you in advance about anything that could affect them.
Should I cancel with my current provider first?
Please do not cancel yet. Cancelling early can mean losing licences or paying charges. Talk to us first, and we will tell you exactly when and how.
When is the best time to move?
Often at a renewal date, so there is no overlap. Moving mid-term can be possible too, and we will tell you what makes sense for your licences.
How long does it take, and what does it cost?
It depends on your current provider and your renewal dates. We give you a date and confirm any costs in writing before you commit.
I am moving from somewhere else, such as Google Workspace.
Moving email and files from a different platform is a bigger piece of work than moving licences. Get in touch and we will talk it through with you.
