Case Study: The Perimeter Protection Group achieves a fast, seamless Office 365 email migration with Quest’s On Demand Migration for Email

Acquisition of TPPG requires fast email migration

The Perimeter Protection Group (TPPG), a leading provider of perimeter security solutions, was acquired by a private equity firm and had to move 340 users and their data from its former parent’s on‑premises Exchange environment to Office 365 in just four and a half months. With only a small IT team, limited access to the source servers and strict security concerns, native and many third‑party migration tools proved inadequate or too intrusive.

TPPG and consultant CGI used Quest’s On Demand Migration for Email — a SaaS, no‑install solution with a centralized console and phased, filterable migrations — to perform the move in batches with minimal disruption. The project finished on schedule, cut end‑user migration time from about one hour to 5–7 minutes (≈90% reduction), lowered costs by using the existing small team, and produced strong user feedback (77% satisfied, 0% very disappointed).
