8x8 Migration · Aberdeen
8x8 Migration in Aberdeen
Moving a multi-site Aberdeen organisation onto 8x8, one country at a time rather than all at once. Each market has its own incumbent provider, its own porting process and its own working hours, and a single global cutover means somebody is performing a critical switch at three in the morning in at least one of them.
Why this comes up
The problem
A single cutover weekend was planned for six countries, and two of the local ports slipped by a fortnight.
What you get
What we deliver
- A sequence agreed by country, with the simplest market moved first
- Local porting handled with each incumbent, since timescales are not comparable
- Cutovers scheduled in local working hours with local support available
- Interim dial plans so migrated and unmigrated sites can still reach each other
- Lessons from each country applied to the next rather than discovered repeatedly
- Legacy services cancelled per country once its port has genuinely completed

8x8 Migration in Aberdeen — common questions
- Why not move everywhere at once?
- Because the risk multiplies and the support does not. Each market brings a different carrier, a different process and a different set of things that can go wrong, and a simultaneous cutover means every one of those problems arrives in the same weekend with the same team addressing them.
- Which country should go first?
- The one where a problem is most survivable — usually a smaller site with straightforward numbering and cooperative incumbent. It establishes the process, exposes the assumptions that were wrong, and does so somewhere the consequences are manageable.
- How do half-migrated organisations keep working?
- Through an interim dial plan. Internal calling between sites on different platforms needs deliberate routing during the transition, and organisations that overlook it find that head office can no longer dial an extension in a branch that moved last week.
- When should the old services be cancelled?
- After each port completes, per country, and not before. Cancelling in advance to save a month's charges risks losing numbers entirely, which is unrecoverable — so the sequence is always port, verify, then cancel, however tempting the saving looks.
- Do you work with businesses across Aberdeenshire?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout Scotland, including Aberdeen and the surrounding Aberdeenshire area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Aberdeen businesses do you usually work with?
- Energy supply chain systems with rigorous documentation, and asset and compliance tracking for offshore operations. Beyond that we work across Oil & Gas, Renewable Energy, Marine, Higher Education and Food & Fishing.
- Do you cover the areas around Aberdeen?
- Yes — we work throughout Scotland, including Dundee, Inverness, Edinburgh. Aberdeen is an urban area of roughly 200,000+, and we take on work across the wider Aberdeenshire region rather than the city boundary alone.
