Should all be pretty simple. <br />
<br />
1. Get Office 365 account set up. <br />
2. Edit DNS, so that email gets sent to the Microsoft servers, rather than your own. <br />
3. For each user, export their email into a .PST from Outlook. <br />
4. For each user, reconfigure Outlook to use the Microsoft servers. <br />
5. For each user, import their email from the .PST created in #3 into their mailbox. <br />

Microsoft have a tool, EXMERGE which automates some of #3 and #4, but with just 10 users I probably would not bother.

Upgrading to Office 365 from Microsoft Exchange server 2003

Office 365 is a group of software plus services subscriptions that provides productivity software and related services to its subscribers. Office 365 allows the use of Microsoft Office apps on Windows and OS X, provides storage space on Microsoft's cloud storage service OneDrive, and grants 60 Skype minutes per month. Office 365 includes e-mail and social networking services through hosted versions of Exchange Server, Skype for Business Server, SharePoint and Office Online, integration with Yammer, as well as access to the Office software. All of Office 365's components can be managed and configured through an online portal; users can be added manually, imported from a CSV file, or Office 365 can be set up for single sign-on with a local Active Directory using Active Directory Federation Services.

Microsoft 365

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
