Microsoft 365
Microsoft 365
Microsoft 365 can be anything from email and Office apps to the system that manages your devices, files and security. We start with who needs to do what, then work out the licences and settings around them. That might mean removing licences nobody uses, adding security where it's missing, moving files or email, or tidying up what's already there.
What we do
Buying the licence is the quick bit
The licence is only one part of it. Email and files may need moving, devices need setting up, and access needs securing so a stolen password isn't enough to get in.
What it costs
The calculator shows monthly figures for bundles or individual licences, so you know what to expect before we talk.
Pre-built bundles
Three starting points covering what most businesses of your size end up needing, so you're not comparing forty licence names.
Tenant migration
Moving you from an old server, from Google Workspace, or from another IT company. Email keeps working throughout.
Security settings
Multi-factor authentication on everyone, old insecure sign-in methods switched off, admin accounts separated, and alerts if something odd happens.
Logins and devices
One login for Microsoft and, where possible, your other systems too. New starters set up before their first day, leavers switched off the same afternoon.
Email security and backup
Phishing filtering, rules that catch someone pretending to be your finance director, and separate backup of Exchange, SharePoint, OneDrive and Teams.
Bundles
Three starting points
Each one is a licence mix plus the setup work to go with it. Change anything you like in the calculator.
