Technology for operations

Microsoft 365 and digital infrastructure

We configure and organise Microsoft 365 around the way your company works: email, documents, identity and access, secured and easy to manage. This includes migrating email and documents, multi-factor authentication and clear access rules.

What you receive

  • Inventory of accounts, licences, domains and data
  • Domain, accounts, baseline policies and administration
  • Exchange Online, mailbox migration, SPF, DKIM, DMARC
  • Multi-factor authentication, roles, conditional access where appropriate

When it helps

  • Email and documents sit on personal accounts or on different services.
  • There is no multi-factor authentication or control over access.
  • Documents are scattered across email, USB drives and laptops.
  • There is no clear access process for joiners and leavers.

What we aim for

The objectives of the engagement, not guaranteed results.

  • Accounts, email and documents on company-owned infrastructure.
  • Controlled access to sensitive information.
  • A security baseline your clients can verify.

What the result depends on

Implementation depends on the Microsoft licences purchased, administrator access to the domain and existing accounts, the volume and quality of data to migrate and the company's approval of access policies.

Frequently asked questions

What size of company is this for?

Small and mid-sized companies, from a few users to a few hundred, that want an orderly, secure set-up without a large in-house IT department.

Do you migrate existing email?

Yes, from most email providers, with planning to avoid disruption.

What is multi-factor authentication?

In addition to a password, the user confirms sign-in with a second factor, usually a phone app. It is one of the most effective measures against account takeover.
