Microsoft 365 & Cloud

Overview

Microsoft 365 is more than email. It holds your company's files, conversations, calendars, and the user accounts that control access to everything else. When it's set up hastily, it becomes the easiest way into your business.

We administer Microsoft 365 day to day, harden its security settings, organize SharePoint and Teams so people can find what they need, and plan migrations so email and files keep working through the switch.

Who it's forBusinesses already on Microsoft 365 that want it secured and organized, and businesses moving from Google Workspace, hosted email, or another Microsoft 365 tenant.

Microsoft 365 services

Each service is available on its own as a project, or as part of an ongoing managed IT agreement. Intune and endpoint management also have their own page.

Microsoft 365 administration

Day-to-day management of the services your team uses every hour, handled by someone who knows how your tenant is set up.

  • Exchange Online mailboxes, shared mailboxes, and mail flow
  • Microsoft Teams policies, teams, and guest access
  • SharePoint Online sites, libraries, and permissions
  • OneDrive management, sharing settings, and departing-user handling
  • User accounts, groups, and license assignments
  • Tenant configuration, settings reviews, and ongoing maintenance

Why it matters: Changes are made consistently and documented, so your tenant stays organized as people join, leave, and change roles.

Microsoft security

Hardening the accounts, sign-ins, and email that attackers target first, using the security tools included in your Microsoft licensing.

  • Microsoft Entra ID configuration and administrator roles
  • Multi-factor authentication for every user
  • Conditional Access policies, where Entra ID P1 licensing is available
  • Identity and access management, including access reviews
  • Email security, including SPF, DKIM, DMARC, and anti-phishing policies
  • Microsoft Defender configuration
  • Microsoft 365 security assessments with prioritized findings

Why it matters: The most common ways into a small business, such as stolen passwords and phishing, become much harder to exploit.

Microsoft cloud projects

Planned, documented projects that move or set up Microsoft 365 without disrupting how your team works.

  • Tenant-to-tenant migrations for acquisitions, mergers, and rebrands
  • Email migrations from Google Workspace and hosted email
  • New Microsoft 365 deployments
  • File server and SharePoint migrations
  • Microsoft Teams implementations
  • Licensing reviews and optimization

Why it matters: Each project has a written scope, a tested cutover plan, and support for your users afterward.

Microsoft Intune and endpoint management

Central management for company computers and phones, so every device is configured, secured, and accounted for.

  • Device enrollment for Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android
  • Windows Autopilot for new computers
  • Device configuration policies
  • Application deployment and updates
  • Compliance policies
  • Endpoint security policies
  • Device lifecycle management, from setup to secure retirement

Why it matters: New devices are ready faster, lost devices can be locked or wiped, and you can show which devices meet your security standards.

Problems this solves

  • Several people share one administrator login.
  • Multi-factor authentication isn't required on every account.
  • Nobody can explain what each license is for, or why you have so many.
  • Company files live in personal OneDrive folders and email attachments.

Capabilities and deliverables

  • User, group, and shared mailbox administration
  • License reviews so you only pay for what you use
  • Multi-factor authentication and, where licensing allows, conditional access
  • Email authentication and security, including SPF, DKIM, and DMARC
  • SharePoint, OneDrive, and Teams structure and permissions
  • Migrations from Google Workspace, hosted email, or other providers
  • Tenant-to-tenant migrations for acquisitions, rebrands, and restructures
  • Documentation of how your tenant is configured

How a Microsoft 365 migration works

  • 1. Source tenant assessment

    We inventory mailboxes and their sizes, shared mailboxes, distribution lists and groups, SharePoint sites, OneDrive accounts, Teams, licenses, connected applications, and the DNS records in use.

  • 2. Destination tenant preparation

    Licenses and user accounts are created, administrator roles are assigned, and a security baseline including multi-factor authentication is in place before any data moves.

  • 3. Identity and domain planning

    We map each user to their new account and plan the domain move. A custom domain can only be verified in one tenant at a time, so its removal and re-verification are scheduled into the cutover.

  • 4. Mailbox and data migration

    Email, calendars, contacts, OneDrive, and SharePoint content are copied ahead of time while people keep working, followed by incremental syncs to pick up changes.

  • 5. DNS and mail-flow cutover

    DNS time-to-live values are lowered in advance. At cutover we move the domain, update MX, SPF, autodiscover, and DKIM records, and run a final sync.

  • 6. Post-migration verification

    We test inbound and outbound mail, Outlook and mobile sign-in, shared mailbox and file permissions, and Teams access, then support users through the first days.

How implementation works

  1. Review

    Audit your tenant's users, licenses, security settings, and data.

  2. Plan

    Agree on a security baseline, file structure, and any migration schedule.

  3. Implement

    Make the changes or run the migration, with clear communication to your team.

  4. Manage

    Handle ongoing administration, license changes, and new requests.

Common scenarios

  • Moving from Google Workspace

    Mail, calendars, contacts, and Drive files move to Microsoft 365 with a planned cutover weekend.

  • Combining tenants after an acquisition

    Two companies become one, and users need to move into a single tenant without losing email or files.

  • A tenant nobody fully understands

    Set up years ago, with unknown admins, unused licenses, and inconsistent security. We audit and clean it up.

What you can expect

  • Secure by default

    Strong sign-in protection and sensible security settings from day one.

  • Organized and shareable

    Files and permissions structured so people can find what they need.

  • Migrations without chaos

    Planned cutovers that keep email and files available to your team.

Frequently asked questions

Which Microsoft 365 plan do we need?

It depends on your security requirements and how you work. Many small businesses benefit from Microsoft 365 Business Premium because it includes Intune and Conditional Access, but we recommend plans only after reviewing your needs.

Will we lose email during a migration?

A planned migration copies mailboxes and files ahead of time and switches mail delivery during a scheduled cutover, typically outside business hours. Users may need to sign in again afterward, and we prepare them for that.

Can you clean up permissions in SharePoint and Teams?

Yes. We review who has access to which sites and shared files, remove access that's no longer needed, and set up a structure that's easier to manage going forward.
