Microsoft 365 Migration
Cloud Collaboration & Email
M365 Migration That Actually Goes Smoothly.
Microsoft 365 is the right platform for most SMBs, but getting there requires careful planning. Data migration, license assignment, mailbox configuration, security settings, SharePoint and Teams setup, and end-user training all need to happen in the right order without taking your team offline. Ashton has managed dozens of M365 migrations for small and mid-sized businesses, and we've built a process that minimizes disruption and gets your team up and running fast. We don't just flip the switch — we make sure everything is configured correctly, securely, and in a way that actually makes your team more productive.
- Pre-migration assessment and planning
- Data migration (email, files, contacts, calendars)
- License assignment and user setup
- Security configuration (MFA, Defender, etc.)
- SharePoint and Teams configuration
- End-user training and adoption support
Infrastructure Upgrades
Servers | Storage | Network
Infrastructure That Performs Today and Scales Tomorrow.
Outdated infrastructure is a slow bleed: slower performance, more downtime, higher security risk, and eventually a failure at the worst possible time. Ashton plans and executes infrastructure upgrades with minimal disruption: server upgrades and replacements, storage consolidation, network redesigns, and cloud migration. We don't just install hardware — we design solutions that fit how your business actually operates and where it's going.
- Infrastructure assessment and roadmap
- Server procurement, setup, and migration
- Storage consolidation and optimization
- Network redesign and implementation
- Cloud migration (Azure, AWS, hybrid)
- Post-deployment testing and documentation
New Location Buildouts
Opening a New Office or Facility
New Location, Ready from Day One.
Opening a new location is already complicated enough. Let Ashton handle the IT side so you can focus on everything else. We scope, procure, install, and configure everything your new space needs — network infrastructure, workstations, printers, phones, security cameras, access controls — and coordinate with your construction schedule to make sure you're operational the moment you open the doors.
- Site assessment and technology planning
- Network infrastructure design and installation
- Workstation procurement and configuration
- Phone system setup (VoIP)
- Security and surveillance systems
- Coordination with construction timeline
Security Projects
Targeted Security Improvements
Specific Security Gaps, Specifically Fixed.
Sometimes a business doesn't need a full managed security program — it needs a specific problem solved. Multi-factor authentication deployment. Firewall replacement and reconfiguration. Email security implementation. A security awareness training program rolled out across the organization. Ashton executes targeted security projects efficiently, with the same documentation and quality standards we bring to every engagement.
- MFA deployment and user enrollment
- Firewall procurement, installation, and configuration
- Email security (anti-phishing, spam filtering, encryption)
- Endpoint security deployment
- Security awareness training rollout (KnowBe4)
- Security documentation and policy creation
Projects That Actually Deliver
Every IT project Ashton takes on comes with our complete documentation, proactive communication, and a team that stays accountable until the last detail is done.
Discover & Scope
Every project starts with a deep discovery — understanding your current environment, your goals, your constraints, and what success looks like. We build a detailed scope of work before anything else, so there are no surprises mid-project. If we find something during discovery that changes the picture, we tell you immediately.
Plan & Execute
With scope defined, we build a realistic project plan with clear milestones, communication checkpoints, and scheduled work windows that minimize disruption to your team. Our project lead owns the coordination end-to-end, including any third parties or vendors involved.
Validate & Document
We don't close a project until everything is tested, documented, and verified. Post-project documentation becomes part of your Ashton network documentation, which means every future support interaction benefits from knowing exactly how everything was set up.
