💡 We don't sell Microsoft 365 as a product — we manage it as a service. You own your tenant.

The platform most businesses already run on.

M365 is where the bulk of UK SME productivity happens — email, shared documents, video calls, file storage. When it works, nobody notices. When it doesn't, nothing else gets done. We make sure it works.

What we see most often with new clients: someone bought Business Premium for the whole team when half of them need Business Basic. MFA isn't enforced. Nobody's backing up the mailboxes (Microsoft doesn't, by default). SharePoint was never structured so everyone dumps files into "Documents - General" and can't find anything six months later.

We fix the licensing bill, lock security down properly, set up backup, structure SharePoint so it's usable, and then handle the day-to-day so you don't have to. No accreditation theatre — just engineers who live in M365 every day.

Audit existing licences, match them to actual usage, cut the waste.

The whole ecosystem, handled

Tenant setup through ongoing admin — and everything in between.

📧
Email Setup & Migrations

New M365 tenants, or migrations from Gmail, Hosted Exchange, IMAP or on-prem Exchange. Zero data loss, zero downtime — we cut over out of hours.

🎫
Licence Audit & Optimisation

Business Basic, Standard, Premium, F-series, Apps for Business — we map licences to actual usage and cut the bill where possible.

👤
User & Group Management

Joiners, leavers, shared mailboxes, distribution groups, Teams, guest access — all managed cleanly with a proper JML process.

📋
SharePoint & OneDrive

Document libraries structured properly, permissions set correctly, sync configured, intranet sites built. No more "where's that file?"

💬
Microsoft Teams

Channels, meeting rooms, external access, call queues. Teams Phone System with number porting if you want calls in Teams too.

🛡️
Security & Compliance

MFA enforcement, conditional access, DLP policies, Defender configuration, Safe Links / Safe Attachments, audit logging for compliance.

💾
M365 Backup

Third-party backup for mail, OneDrive, SharePoint and Teams. Microsoft doesn't back your data up by default — this is the gap everyone forgets.

📨
Exclaimer Signatures

Company-wide branded email signatures that update automatically. No more chasing staff to update their signature when the role changes.

🔑
Intune & Device Management

Enrol Windows, Mac and mobile devices. Push policies, restrict copy/paste from business apps, remote wipe lost kit.

Where we usually get called in

Here are the patterns we see most often with South Wales businesses.

🚀

New business, starting from scratch

New tenant, domain verification, mailboxes, Teams, OneDrive, security baseline. We get you from zero to a proper working setup in a few days.

Typical: 1–3 days to live
📦

Migrating from Gmail / old Exchange

Mail, calendars, contacts, shared drives — all moved across with nothing lost. We plan it, run it out of hours, and nobody notices Monday morning except the bill is now from Microsoft.

Cutover weekend, business as usual Monday
🔍

Inherited mess

Someone set it up years ago. Licences are wrong, ex-staff still have access, MFA isn't enforced, SharePoint is chaos. We audit it, fix it, document it, and put proper processes in place.

Usually saves 10–30% on licensing
🛡️

Cyber Essentials prep

M365 is half of the Cyber Essentials questionnaire. We configure the tenant to meet the controls — MFA, admin separation, patch management, device encryption — so the certification is straightforward.

Aligns with Cyber Essentials + Plus
📞

Teams as a phone system

Teams Phone with number porting — make and receive calls in Teams, on desktop, mobile or a handset. Replaces the old VoIP box in the cupboard for businesses already living in M365.

Keep your existing numbers
📉

Downsizing or restructuring

When headcount changes, licensing should too. We reassign, downgrade or release licences, archive leavers properly, and transfer their OneDrive data to the right hands.

Data preserved, costs reduced

From first call to live tenant

Whether it's a new setup or an audit of what you've already got, this is how we run it.

1

Discovery call

What are you using, what's working, what's broken. 20–30 minutes.

2

Tenant audit

If you've got M365 already, we audit it — security, licensing, configuration. Free for South Wales businesses.

3

Plan & quote

Migration plan, fixed quote, licence recommendation. Clear, no surprises.

4

Execute

Setup, migration, hardening — usually out of hours. We handle users through it so nothing catches them out.

5

Ongoing management

Day-to-day admin, incidents, new joiners/leavers. Monthly fee, no surprises.

Common M365 questions

No, and we don't claim to be. We manage M365 tenants for many South Wales businesses, we live in the admin centres every day, and we've done hundreds of user migrations and setups. What the Microsoft Partner badge gets you is referral fees and discount structures on licences — what you actually want is someone who knows the platform properly and answers the phone. That's us.

We can if you want, but we don't push it. Most of our clients buy direct from Microsoft (or via their existing CSP) and we manage the tenant separately. That way you always own the billing relationship and can switch providers without data-migration headaches. Our fee is for the management, not a margin on licence resale.

No. Microsoft guarantees the service is up. They don't protect you against accidental deletion, ransomware, or a disgruntled leaver wiping SharePoint. There's a short retention window (30–90 days depending) then it's gone. We set up proper third-party backup for mail, OneDrive, SharePoint and Teams — usually £3–5 per user per month.

Usually 1–3 weeks end to end. Week one: tenant setup, security baseline, domain prep. Week two: test migration, pilot user, any fixes. Week three: cutover weekend, full migration, Monday morning verification. Bigger organisations take longer — 50+ users and we'll break it into phases.

Copilot is useful for the right use case but expensive (£25/user/month on top of existing licensing) and worthless unless your SharePoint is properly structured. We don't push it. If you want it, we can enable it, set up the permissions properly so it doesn't expose confidential docs, and help your team actually use it. Most of our clients don't have it.

M365 is largely remote-managed, so location barely matters. We cover all of South Wales for any on-site work (Cardiff, Swansea, Newport, the valleys). Purely remote M365 management we'll happily do UK-wide.
