Free To IT Professionals:

Free Customized Office 365 Migration Plan

Shows You How To Successfully Migrate Your Exchange Server And Microsoft Applications To Office 365 Without Excessive Downtime, Lost Data, Licensing Mistakes, Compliance Violations And Problems

February 22, 2016
From The Desk Of: Matt Katzer
CEO, KAMIND IT

Dear Colleague,

Migrating your Exchange server or your entire office suite to the cloud (Office 365) is likely to be one of the most important and visible IT projects you’ll handle all year. Get it right, and you’ll become the office “hero,” making the entire organization more productive, efficient and lowering overall TCO (total cost of ownership) for IT.

Get it wrong – or simply overlook one important detail – and the migration can quickly turn into a disaster with extensive downtime, disruptions to critical business functions, lost data, licensing issues, compliance violations and project timelines and costs spiraling out of control. And the more data you need to consolidate and migrate, the greater the risk for failures and problems.

I’m sure you already know this and have had first-hand experience with at least one IT project gone wrong; which is why I believe you’ll find this letter of particular interest.

My name is Matt Katzer, CEO of KAMIND IT. For over 15 years, we’ve been a trusted resource for IT professionals like you who need either project-specific expertise (like an on premise Exchange server upgrade or Office 365 migration) or an extra set of hands to assist with time consuming (but critical) back-end IT functions such as backups, security and network monitoring, Microsoft software licensing, and a host of other IT functions to free you up to be more strategic.

At no cost or obligation, I’d like to have one of my senior Office 365 consultants, Jake Johnson, help you create a FREE, customized Office 365 Migration Plan for you. You will receive:

• Our proprietary Cloud Migration Roadmap that details 13 critical steps to ensure a “clean” migration of all your data to eliminate (or greatly reduce) the risk of missteps, extended downtime, disruption of your company’s operations and hefty increases in project costs.
• Help in navigating the confusing and complicated licensing options Microsoft offers for various products (Exchange, Office, SQL Server, etc.) so you don’t overpay for licenses and get exactly what you need – no more and no less.
• How your system administrator responsibilities will change once you’ve migrated to Office 365, including how to support users, administer the backups, manage authentication, security, etc. (the good news is that it gets easier).
• How to address compliance issues and data security to protect your organization from the dozens of ways your company can be harmed or sued due to security leaks, hacks, data loss and the need to comply with ever-expanding and changing data privacy laws.
• A copy of my latest book on Office 365. This book shares best practices when moving to Office 365 and relies heavily on the experience that we have gained in the many years that we have been working in the cloud (since 2009).

Why Free?

Two reasons: First, offering this for free is one of the best ways we know to introduce our services to you. While we don’t expect everyone to become a client, we know a certain percentage of the people we meet with will want to engage with us in some way. Second, creating these types of plans is incredibly easy for us and is what we truly love to do. As fellow IT professionals, we understand the difficulty of your job…

When everything works exactly as it’s supposed to, you get no “thanks.” Make one mistake, and you’ll have a hoard of pitch-fork-carrying users marching into your office ready to burn you at the stake! Believe me, we understand; which is exactly why you need to find a trusted advisor with DEEP experience in cloud migrations who has successfully completed hundreds of Exchange and Office 365 migrations in various environments. The LAST thing you want is to be someone’s guinea pig OR attempt to climb this mountain on your own.

Even if you decide not to move your network to the cloud or engage with us as a client, you’ll find the information we share with you to be extremely valuable and eye-opening.

There Is One Small “Catch”

Because our Cloud Migration Plans require an investment of our time, I’m only extending this offer until March 15, 2016 or until 10 people respond – whichever comes first. After that, we’ll have to withdraw this offer or ask that you pay our customary consulting fee for this service (sorry, no exceptions).

To respond, please call our office at 503-726-5933 and ask for Jake. I’ve asked him to personally follow up to make sure you’ve received this letter, and to see when we can schedule your Free Office 365 Migration Plan; please expect his call. You can also send an e-mail to him at jjohnson@kamind.com.

Awaiting your response,

Here’s What Our Clients Have to Say:

I Can’t Say Enough About Their Responsiveness, Thoroughness and Professionalism

“The reason that we initially switched over [to Office 365] was not just the cost of the services, but how the service was going to make my office more effective. The efficiency that my office now has allows us to be more productive, and more profitable.

Office 365 does really provide a VERY customizable, user friendly base which can change multiple times throughout the year depending on how the company grows, or needs to quickly downsize. Our company has required very unique needs over the years, and KAMIND IT has always been very understanding of our business needs and what it will need on a go-forward basis.”

– Katie Ireland, Ireland & Ireland PC

They Provided an Invaluable Guide Through our Migration to Office 365

“KAMIND IT provided an invaluable guide through our migration to Office 365 and now they are steering us to the best security solutions for my business.

Their entire team is knowledgeable and helpful. They willingly shared their expertise with my team so we could do some of the work ourselves.”

– Jack Tomlinson, Chief Technical Officer / Chief Architect, Dealer Spike, LLC

KAMIND IT Has Direct Access to Microsoft Teams

“KAMIND IT has demonstrated an expertise that has been supported and endorsed by Microsoft. They literally have ‘written the book’ on Office 365. This expertise and relationship allows them to have direct access and communication with Microsoft teams to understand the future of products, but most importantly, the technical issues surrounding Office 365. We are using them as a consultant to go beyond productivity apps and into solving other issues using the Office 365 app. The Office 365 platform is under constant development and is very dynamic. Smaller, less experienced IT providers may not understand the ‘innuendos’ of the Microsoft development process. As a result, researching technical capabilities and developments with these providers may end up getting no answers where KAMIND IT can just call and get the answer”

– Jim Crystal, Principal, Revelry Agency

I Wouldn’t Trust Another Firm

“KAMIND IT’s fees were worth every penny. As I recall their team helped us with an after-hour issue eating up Matt’s Sunday afternoon. I’ve also appreciated the follow-up calls after service was completed to confirm we are on track.

Given the countless hours I spent on the phone with the KAMIND IT team it was apparent they have thorough knowledge of office 365. I wouldn’t trust another firm.”

– Heather Walker, Controller & Chief Financial Officer, Walker Structural Engineering, LLC

The Top Ten Reasons Why You’ll Want To
Use KAMIND IT for your Office 365 Migration:

1. We SPECIALIZE In Office 365. That means we understand your incredibly hectic and stressful work schedule and WHY it’s critical to remove obstacles, frustrations and technical problems to keep you productive. To date, we’ve migrated literally tens of thousands of users to Office 365, from one-person shops to large enterprises. We also have tech support available 24/7/365 since we know you don’t want to migrate your corporate systems during business hours.
2. We Are One Of A Few Elite Microsoft Office 365 Partners In The Country. They call us their “SMB Champions” (SMB stands for small-medium business). Migrating (or setting up) Office 365 and other cloud solutions is NOT something you want to attempt on your own. There are dozens of ways an improper setup can cause problems, systems that don’t work, lost data and e-mail, and a host of other problems – you need someone with experience in multiple environments with a variety of clients. We have that experience – from a small office with 5 employees to a full Office 365 migration for a client with 10,000 employees, we can help.
3. We Wrote The Book on Office 365 – Literally! Matt Katzer has written two top-selling books on Office 365. Both books, published by Apress, are available on Amazon. His first book was “Migrating and Managing Your Business in the Cloud”, and his brand new book is “Moving to Office 365”.
4. No Geek-Speak. You deserve to get answers to your questions in PLAIN ENGLISH, not in confusing technical terms. Our technicians will also not talk down to you or make you feel stupid because you don’t understand how all this “technology” works. That’s our job!
5. 100% No-Small-Print Satisfaction Guarantee. Quite simply, if you are not happy with our work, we’ll do whatever it takes to make it right to YOUR standards without charging you for it. And if we can’t make it right, the service is free.
6. All Projects Are Completed On Time And On Budget. When you hire us to complete a project for you, we won’t nickel-and-dime you with unforeseen or unexpected charges or delays. We guarantee to deliver precisely what we promised to deliver, on time and on budget with no excuses. All our agreements are on a fixed-fee basis so you know exactly what you’re going to pay, not a penny more.
7. We Won’t Hold You Hostage. Many IT companies do NOT provide their clients with simple and easy-to-understand documentation that outlines key network resources, passwords, licenses, etc. By keeping that to themselves, IT companies hold their clients “hostage” to scare them away from hiring someone else. This is both unethical and unprofessional. As a client of ours, you will be provided with full, written documentation of your network and all the resources, software licenses, passwords, hardware, etc., in simple terms so YOU can understand it. We keep our clients by delivering exceptional service – not by keeping them in the dark.
8. Peace Of Mind. Because we monitor our clients’ networks 24/7/365, you never have to worry that a virus has spread, a hacker has broken in or a backup has failed to perform. We watch over your entire network, taking the management and hassle of maintaining it off your hands. This frees you to focus on your customers and running your business, not on your IT systems, security and backups.
9. No Long-Term Contracts. Many other IT firms try to lock their clients into long-term contracts with severe penalties and fines for canceling. Problem is, if THEY aren’t doing a great job, how can you get out without litigation? That’s why our service agreements are month-to-month, giving you the ability to fire us at any time. We keep our clients by providing incredible services and support – not by threatening a lawsuit.
10. We Have A Team Of Experts On Staff. Unlike other IT firms who have one or two guys trying to juggle multiple projects and wear various hats, we have a team of engineers on staff with diverse, specialized areas of expertise who work together to deliver the most effective and correct solutions to you. As a client you are assigned to one of these teams. That means you’ll always be able to get someone on the phone who knows YOU and understands YOUR environment and YOUR systems to provide helpful answers and quick resolution of problems instead of having to talk to a complete stranger hundreds of miles away who knows nothing of you or your systems and wastes your time asking a lot of really dumb and annoying questions to try and “help” you.
