Microsoft 365

Tenant setup, migration and ongoing administration.

What is Microsoft 365?

Microsoft 365 is the Microsoft subscription for business email and collaboration: Outlook and Exchange mail, Teams, SharePoint and OneDrive file storage, and the Office apps, all tied to one sign-in managed in Entra ID. Buying the subscription is the easy part. How the tenant is configured decides whether it is secure, organised and good value.

Microsoft 365 is usually the first platform a growing business buys and the last one anyone configures properly. Licences accumulate, file sharing is left wide open by default, former staff keep mailbox access, and "the cloud" gets blamed for problems that are really configuration.

We take ownership of the tenant: identity, mail flow, file structure, licensing and the security baseline. Then we keep it maintained, rather than handing back a login and wishing you luck.

What is included

Everything in the service.

Tenant provisioning or takeover

A new tenant built to a known standard, or an audit and cleanup of the one you already have.

Mailbox migration

Mail, calendars and contacts moved across with nothing lost and the cutover done outside working hours.

Identity and access management

One account per person in Entra ID, multi-factor authentication enforced, and administrator rights held by as few people as possible.

Joiner and leaver process

Starters provisioned to a standard before day one; leavers revoked the same day, with the mailbox retained and the licence reclaimed.

SharePoint and OneDrive structure

File locations that still make sense when the team doubles, with external sharing controlled rather than open by default.

Licence optimisation

A regular review of who is on which plan, so you stop paying for seats and features nobody uses.

Security baseline

Conditional access, mail protection and audit logging switched on, then reviewed as things change.

Questions

Microsoft 365, answered.

Can you migrate us from Google Workspace or an old mail provider?

Yes. We plan the migration, move mail, calendars and contacts, and schedule the cutover outside business hours so the disruption lands when nobody is working.

Do we buy licences from you or direct from Microsoft?

Either works. We can manage licensing on your behalf or leave it in your own Microsoft account and simply administer the tenant. The tenant belongs to you regardless.

Will email go down while we migrate?

The cutover is the only sensitive window, and it is usually minutes rather than days. We run it out of hours and keep the old mailbox reachable until we are confident the new one is complete.
