Microsoft 365 & Cloud

Microsoft 365, done properly

Most businesses run Microsoft 365 the way it landed on day one — half-configured, over-licensed and wide open. We make it secure, tidy and worth what you pay for it.

What we do

From 'it sort of works' to 'it actually helps'

Six kinds of work we do inside Microsoft 365 and Azure, as projects or as part of ongoing management.

Migrations without drama

From ageing servers, Google Workspace or a messy half-migration into Microsoft 365 — planned, rehearsed and cut over out of hours.

Tenant security baseline

MFA, conditional access, sensible sharing defaults and admin hygiene. Most tenants we inherit fail half of Microsoft's own checklist.

SharePoint & Teams that make sense

A file structure people can navigate, permissions that match how you actually work, and an end to the nine copies of “Final_v3”.

Azure, right-sized

Where a workload genuinely belongs in Azure we design, migrate and manage it — and we'll say plainly when it doesn't.

Licensing right-sizing

Unused licences removed, plans matched to what each person actually uses. This review often covers a chunk of our own fee.

Copilot-ready foundations

Permissions and data hygiene sorted so Microsoft 365 Copilot helps rather than leaks. The full story lives on our AI pages.

Worth doing first

The licensing review that pays for itself

Licences for people who left last year. Premium plans for people who only read email. Add-ons nobody remembers buying. We compare what you pay against what your team actually uses and right-size it — typically the least glamorous, highest-return work we do in a tenant.

Migrations

How a migration actually runs

The same four steps whether you're leaving a server, Google Workspace or a tangled old tenant.

  1. 1

    Step 1

    Audit

    What you have, who uses what, what's fragile and what the migration must not break — written down before anything moves.

  2. 2

    Step 2

    Plan & rehearse

    A cutover plan with a rollback path. Test batches first; the whole company never jumps in one go.

  3. 3

    Step 3

    Migrate

    Mail, files and settings moved out of hours, with checks at every stage. Monday morning looks normal — just faster.

  4. 4

    Step 4

    Adopt & tune

    Short, practical sessions so Teams and SharePoint get used properly, then a 30-day tune-up once real usage shows the rough edges.

FAQ

Migrations, licensing and the Azure question

What people check before they let anyone near their tenant.

We're already on Microsoft 365 — what would you change?

Usually three things: security settings (MFA gaps, wide-open sharing, stale admin accounts), structure (SharePoint sprawl, Teams created for every conversation) and licensing (paying for plans nobody uses). We audit first and show you the list before touching anything.

Can you migrate us from Google Workspace?

Yes — mail, calendars, contacts and Drive data, in stages, with both platforms running side by side during the switch. The trickiest part is usually habits, not data, which is why training is part of the plan.

Will a migration mean downtime?

The heavy lifting happens out of hours and in test batches first. A realistic promise: brief, scheduled, announced-in-advance interruptions — not lost days. Anyone promising literally zero impact is guessing.

Do we need Azure, or is Microsoft 365 enough?

For many SMEs, Microsoft 365 covers it. Azure earns its keep for specific workloads — a line-of-business app that needs a server, integration work, or serious compute. We'll tell you which camp you're in rather than defaulting to 'more cloud'.

Can you sort out our licensing bill?

Almost always. Duplicate plans, licences assigned to leavers, E-plans where Business plans would do — we review against actual usage and right-size it. You see the before/after numbers in the report.
