Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the integration process take?
Typically, the complete integration process takes 2-4 hours for most organizations. We schedule deployments during off-peak hours to minimize any potential disruption. Small businesses often see completion within 2 hours, while larger enterprises may require up to 8 hours for complex configurations.
Will users notice any changes in their email experience?
No, the integration is designed to be completely transparent to end users. Email flow remains unchanged, and users continue to access email through their familiar Office 365 interface. The only noticeable difference will be significantly reduced spam and improved security.
What happens if there's an issue during integration?
Our certified consultants monitor the entire process in real-time. If any issues arise, we have immediate rollback capabilities to restore your original configuration within minutes. We also provide 24/7 emergency support during the integration period.
