Most businesses come to us in one of two situations: moving to Microsoft 365 for the first time, or already
on it and not getting much out of it. Both start the same way — we look at what you have now, what you
actually use, and what's costing you money without earning it.
For a migration, the work happens around your working day. Mail, contacts, calendars and files move across,
and the cutover is timed so people finish on the old system and start on the new one without a gap in the
middle. We stay close for the first few days afterwards, because that's when the questions arrive.
Licensing is where a lot of businesses quietly overspend. Microsoft's plan names don't make it obvious what
you're paying for, and it's common to find people on a plan far above what they need — or a plan
that's missing the security features they assumed were included. We'll tell you which you're on.
Files are usually where the real change is felt. SharePoint and OneDrive take the place of the
shared drive sitting on a server in the corner, and the practical difference is that people can reach
their documents from anywhere without a VPN and without emailing versions back and forth. We set the
permissions deliberately, so who can see what is a decision rather than an accident, and sync the
libraries into File Explorer so it still looks and behaves like the drive everyone is used to.
And we set up Microsoft 365 backup. Microsoft protects its own infrastructure; it does not keep an indefinite
copy of your data if something is deleted, overwritten or encrypted. That gap surprises people, and it's the
reason 365 Backup exists.
