Let’s talk about IT

Most IT projects don't fail at the finish line. They fail at the start.

You're not buying a project. You're buying the outcome it's meant to deliver.

Most projects lose that distinction in week one — when a solution is scoped before the problem is understood. The right voices aren't in the room, critical processes go undocumented, and dependencies fall through the cracks.

When the project scope doesn't reflect the business outcome:

  • A critical dependency surfaces mid-project.
  • Change orders pile up for work that should have been scoped upfront.
  • What ships isn't aligned with what the business needs.

A successful project translates a business outcome into a plan that delivers.

A proper scope sets the project up.
Our disciplined approach carries it through.

  • We scope it right from day one.

    The right people are in the room, the right questions are asked, and dependencies are mapped.

  • We help you navigate change with confidence.

    Plans shift. Our job is to adapt without losing momentum — or losing sight of the outcome.

  • We test, retest, and verify.

    Nothing reaches your users until it's validated against real-world conditions.

The team that scopes your project is the team that delivers it

From kickoff to close, every engagement is led by a senior team with deep experience in complex IT work.

Some examples of the work we've delivered:

  • Cloud icon above a city skyline at night

    Cloud Migrations

    Move workloads, applications, and infrastructure from aging on-prem servers to a secure, modern cloud environment.

  • Microsoft 365 app icons above a laptop

    Microsoft 365 Migrations

    Migrate data into Microsoft 365 from Google Workspace, a GoDaddy-hosted tenant, or an on-prem email server.

  • Server racks in a data center

    Infrastructure Refresh

    Replace end-of-life servers, network equipment, and other core components with an infrastructure built for how your business operates and where it's headed.

  • Circuit-board cloud over hands typing on a laptop

    Backup, Disaster Recovery & Business Continuity

    Stand up the systems your operations depend on to recover from an outage, attack, or data loss.

  • Desk with laptops and monitors in an office

    M&A and Post-Acquisition IT Integration

    Consolidate tenants, standardize identity and access management to bring newly acquired companies onto one platform.

  • Person in a suit holding a tablet with a security shield icon

    Data Governance & Security Overhauls

    Bring structure, controls, and audit-ready documentation to your environment to satisfy insurers, auditors, and regulators.

Tell us what you’re planning

A defined project deserves a defined process.

There's a difference between a team that runs your project and one that improvises through it. Our structured four-phase process captures requirements, maps dependencies, and keeps your stakeholders aligned at every step.

  1. Phase 1:

    Discovery & Scope

    We document your goals, assess your environment, and confirm the success criteria your leadership will measure against.

  2. Phase 2:

    Planning & Design

    We break the work into milestones, model the risks, and produce a project plan your team signs off on before kickoff.

  3. Phase 3:

    Execution & Testing

    We deliver in defined stages, run every change through approved maintenance windows, and report progress weekly.

  4. Phase 4:

    Go-Live & Handoff

    We go live on the date we committed to, resolve anything that surfaces after launch, and hand off complete documentation to your team.

A disciplined process leads to fewer surprises, cleaner handoffs, and a project that lands as scoped.

Case Study

How a capital management firm consolidated seven acquired companies onto a single Microsoft 365 platform

Read the case study

The case for an experienced project partner

The proof is in the projects

"We acquired seven companies, each running their own IT setup. Macro built a framework that consolidated everything onto a single platform — and every new acquisition onboards faster than the last."

COO, capital management firm

"Our quarterly access reviews used to take a full quarter of one employee’s time. Macro scoped the problem properly and delivered a governance framework we can defend in any audit."

Director of IT, financial services firm

"We brought Macro in for a security overhaul after a costly incident. They scoped honestly, hit every milestone, and were still there after go-live. We’ve worked with them ever since."

Scope your IT project

Your IT project questions — answered

What are IT project services?
IT project services are scoped, deadline-driven engagements that plan and deliver a specific technology initiative — such as a cloud migration, infrastructure refresh, M&A integration, or data governance overhaul — from discovery through go-live. Unlike ongoing managed IT services, an IT project has a defined start, end, and set of deliverables. Macro delivers these projects with a dedicated project team and a structured four-phase process built to keep scope, budget, and timeline under control.
What types of IT projects does Macro deliver?
Macro delivers a wide range of IT projects, including cloud migrations, Microsoft 365 migrations, infrastructure refreshes, backup and disaster recovery, M&A and post-acquisition IT integration, and data governance and security overhauls. We focus on complex work where disciplined scoping and execution make the difference between a project that lands and one that stalls.
How much does an IT project cost?
The cost of an IT project depends on its scope, complexity, the size of your environment, and the timeline involved. A single Microsoft 365 migration is priced very differently from a multi-company M&A integration. Macro scopes every project individually — the Discovery & Scope phase produces a detailed plan and a transparent estimate before any work begins, so there are no surprise change orders later.
How long does an IT project take?
Most IT projects take anywhere from a few weeks to several months, depending on scope and complexity. A focused cloud migration may run a few weeks; a portfolio-wide integration can span several months. During the Planning & Design phase, Macro breaks your project into milestones with a realistic timeline you can plan around — and we hold the team accountable to it.
How do you keep an IT project on budget and on schedule?
Keeping an IT project on budget and on schedule starts with scoping the work precisely before it begins. Most overruns trace back to an unclear scope, unmapped dependencies, or misaligned stakeholders — so we resolve all three in the Discovery and Planning phases, then track progress against milestones with weekly status reporting. When variables emerge, we flag them early and adapt without losing momentum.
What is M&A IT integration?
M&A IT integration is the process of combining the technology environments of merged or acquired companies — consolidating email tenants, standardizing identity and security, migrating data, and rationalizing tools onto a common platform. It is one of Macro’s core project specialties. We use a repeatable integration framework that lets acquirers onboard newly acquired companies faster, with consistent security controls and minimal disruption to day-to-day operations.
Can Macro manage a cloud migration to Microsoft 365?
Macro manages full cloud migrations to Microsoft 365, including moving users from Google Workspace, GoDaddy-managed tenants, and standalone Microsoft environments into a single, unified tenant. We migrate email, calendars, OneDrive, and SharePoint while preserving your data structures, permissions, and workflows — and we execute the cutover with minimal disruption to your team.
What happens after an IT project goes live?
After an IT project goes live, Macro stays involved. We brief your support team, remain on hand to resolve anything that surfaces post-launch, and deliver complete documentation along with a final project review. If you choose to continue with Macro’s managed IT services, the same team that built your environment keeps running and securing it.
Can Macro deliver a project alongside our internal IT team?
Macro regularly delivers IT projects alongside internal IT teams in a co-managed model. Your team handles what it handles well; we bring the project structure, specialized expertise, and additional capacity to deliver complex work without pulling your staff off their day-to-day responsibilities. We adapt to your team’s strengths rather than working around them.
Do we have to become a managed services client to do a project with Macro?

You do not need to be a managed services client to do a project with Macro. Many organizations engage us for a single, defined project first. That said, clients often choose to keep Macro on for ongoing managed IT services once a project wraps, because the team that designed and delivered the environment is the same team best positioned to support it.
