What They Say

“

"It was a pleasure working with the Project Team at Lai and Associates during Microsoft Office 365 migration project. The migration project was a complex merging three organizations to a single domain and migrate three O365 environments into single tenant. They use staged migration to migrate all mailboxes to single Microsoft Office 365 environment. They also provided all necessary communication templates and material needed. Pre and post technical support were excellent. I will strongly recommend Lai and Associates for any similar migration projects."

"The process of transitioning from a traditional file server to a cloud-based option seemed daunting, but the team at Lai made it so easy. They were available to answer all of our questions, provided resources to support training our team members, and kept us informed at every step of the process. Would highly recommend!"

"Lai and Associates didn't just deliver a board of directors portal tailored to our organization—they also demystified the technology, guiding us every step of the way. Their team invested time to understand our needs, ensuring the solution was a perfect fit. With their patient training and easy-to-work-with staff, we're now navigating our custom portal with confidence, enhancing our governance with every click."

Lai and Associates came together with the team at PQWCHC to combine a Zoom broadcast experience, a top-notch filming operation, and professional communications preparation (including a script and a dry run) to launch the event without a hitch.
“We needed to make it simple, easy to navigate. That was the beauty of working with Lai and Associates,” Robertson says, “They created movie production quality. With the click of a button, you’re in. Our members were like, ‘I can’t believe this is Parkdale Queen West!’”

FAQs

How can I qualify for this offer?

The one-month free offer is available for all member organizations of the Alliance for Healthier Communities of Ontario.

Are we required to have a Managed Services contract in place, to redeem this offer?

This offer does not require a mandatory Managed Services contract to qualify. However, participants must be a member organization of the Alliance for Healthier Communities.

Are we still eligible for Application Support / Managed Services for Microsoft 365 at the negotiated rate, if we need this service later on?

Yes. The negotiated rate is maintained for all member organizations if and when they are needed.

Will our Office 365 data residency be maintained in Canada?

Yes. As a Tier 1 Microsoft Partner, we establish/maintain the relationship between your organization and Microsoft, and choose Canada as the data center of requirement for all Alliance Member Organizations.

Is this offer being extended for a "soon to be" out of date license or other limited offer?

Simply put, no. We are offering the most current versions of the Microsoft 365 licence SKUs, and further reinforced this via our initial assessment of the Organizations’ needs at the initial stages of our engagement.

What if I do not have a contract currently, how long does the cutover take?

If you do not have a contract in place and currently purchase your licences monthly, we can complete your assessment and cutover in about two days from the start of the process to the end.

Will I lose service during the cutover?

We work to connect the new subscriptions before the cutover form your current setup, mirroring your licence set up, or improving on it to save cost and improve efficiency. This approach solves the issue of lost of use by end users during the cutover process.

Does the one month free offer expire?

We are offering this for onboarding member organizations for 2024 only. Getting your three steps completed and knowing when your current contract (if any) expires, is your best bet to get into the discount program for 2024.
