// SCOPE

What we administer

Most small businesses live in the cloud now — but living in the cloud isn't the same as running it well. License sprawl, abandoned shared mailboxes, MFA half-rolled-out, conditional access policies that haven't been touched since 2021. We clean it up, keep it clean, and respond when something breaks.

Microsoft 365

  • Tenant onboarding & migration from on-prem Exchange or other providers
  • Mailbox, shared mailbox, distribution list, calendar management
  • License optimization (we'll tell you when you're paying for E3 seats that need F3)
  • SharePoint & OneDrive setup, permissions, retention
  • Teams configuration, voice routing where applicable
  • Exchange Online routing, transport rules, anti-spam baseline

Entra ID + Azure

  • Identity baseline: MFA, conditional access, named locations, sign-in risk
  • Hybrid AD ⇄ Entra setups (we don't push cloud-only when on-prem still makes sense)
  • SSO setup for third-party apps (SAML/OIDC)
  • Lightweight Azure IaaS where it fits — VMs, storage, networking, backup

Google Workspace

  • Workspace tenant setup & admin
  • Mail, Drive, shared drives, admin console hygiene
  • 2-Step / MFA enforcement, security defaults
  • Migrations to or from Microsoft 365 (in either direction)
// IMPORTANT

Cloud data needs a backup, separately.

A common surprise: Microsoft 365 does not back up your data the way most people assume. Retention isn't backup. If a user (or attacker, or mis-clicked policy) wipes mail, files, or chat, you need a third-party backup to recover it. We add this layer for every cloud client by default — covered on the Backup & DR page.

// FAQ

Common questions

We're a Google shop. Are you M365-biased?

Neither. We've been running both for years. We'll tell you straight when one fits your situation better — and we don't push migrations for migration's sake.

Can you help with a one-time M365 cleanup?

Yes. Tenant cleanups, license rationalization, MFA rollouts, and conditional access baselines are common one-off engagements.

Do you resell licenses?

We can — but we're transparent about it. If buying direct from Microsoft or Google is cheaper for your situation, we'll say so.
