Microsoft 365 set up for the way your business works

Email, identity and access are the foundation

Microsoft 365 is often introduced as an email service, but the user accounts behind it become the identity staff use for email, Teams, OneDrive, SharePoint and many other cloud services. That is why account setup, administrator access and multi-factor authentication deserve the same attention as the mailbox itself.

We can help standardise how new staff are created, how licences are assigned and how departing users are disabled or handed over so business data is not lost when somebody leaves.

OneDrive, SharePoint and Teams

These tools are useful when they are organised around how the business actually works. Problems start when every user creates their own folders, shares links without a plan, or stores important business files in personal locations that nobody else understands.

We can help decide what belongs in a user’s OneDrive, what should be shared through SharePoint, and how Teams should connect to those files so staff have a consistent place to work.

Migration without unnecessary disruption

A Microsoft 365 migration normally involves more than copying mail. Domain and DNS changes, mailbox data, mobile devices, Outlook profiles, shared mailboxes and user access all need to be coordinated. We plan the changeover so the new service is ready before the old one is retired.

Security and backup planning

Multi-factor authentication, sensible administrator roles and supported devices are important parts of a Microsoft 365 setup. We also review how important Microsoft 365 data would be recovered after accidental deletion, account compromise or another incident, and whether an independent backup service is appropriate for the business.
