Microsoft 365 & cloud

Most businesses own far more Microsoft capability than they use, and pay for licences they don't need. We fix both ends of that - and secure what's left.

Where we start

A tenant that was set up once and never revisited

Nearly every Microsoft 365 environment we take over has the same history. It was configured quickly during a migration years ago, users and licences were added as the business grew, and nobody has looked at the defaults since.

The result is predictable: security settings still at their original values, licences assigned to people who left, files scattered across personal OneDrives because nobody designed a structure, and features included in the subscription sitting entirely unused.

We start with a full review of the tenant and give you a plain-English picture of what's there, what's exposed and what you're wasting.

What we deliver

Microsoft 365, properly run

Migration

Moving from on-premise Exchange, Google Workspace or another provider, with mail, calendars, contacts and files transferred over a planned cutover. Users keep working; nothing is lost in the move.

Tenant hardening

Security defaults replaced with a considered baseline: conditional access, MFA enforcement, legacy authentication disabled, admin roles separated and audit logging switched on and retained.

Intune device management

Windows and mobile devices enrolled, configured from policy and kept compliant. Company data can be wiped from a lost device without touching someone's personal photos.

SharePoint & Teams

An information architecture people can navigate, sensible permissions, and an end to the sprawl of duplicate files in personal OneDrives and email attachments.

Licence optimisation

A full audit of what you're paying for against what's actually used. Unused and duplicated licences removed, and the right plan matched to each role - not the same expensive plan for everyone.

Email deliverability

SPF, DKIM and DMARC configured and monitored so your mail reaches customers reliably and attackers can't convincingly spoof your domain.

Exchange Online management

Shared mailboxes, distribution groups, retention policies and transport rules maintained properly, with mailbox forwarding and rule changes monitored for the signs of a compromised account.

Automation

Starters, leavers and routine administration handled by automated workflows. Consistent every time, documented, and considerably faster than a checklist someone works through by hand.

Licensing

Paying for seats nobody sits in

Licence waste accumulates quietly. Staff leave and their subscription renews. Everyone gets the premium plan because it was simpler at the time. Add-ons get bought for a project that finished two years ago.

We audit assignment against actual usage, remove what isn't needed, and match plans to roles. Frequently the saving covers a meaningful part of the management fee - and unlike a reseller, we have no incentive to keep your licence count high.

  • Licences still assigned to former staff
  • Premium plans given to users who need entry-level
  • Duplicate coverage across overlapping subscriptions
  • Add-ons bought for finished projects
  • Standalone products already included in a bundle
  • Annual commitments renewing without review
  • Security features paid for but never enabled
