Managed ITCloud & Microsoft 365
Microsoft 365, set up the way Microsoft assumes someone did.
Most businesses buy Microsoft 365 and never finish setting it up. Licences pile up, files live in six places, and nobody knows who can see what. We run it properly, keep the licences honest and move whatever is still on an old server into the cloud.
If any of this is you
- You are paying for licences that belong to people who left a year ago.
- Files are in OneDrive, SharePoint, Teams, a shared drive and someone's desktop.
- There is a server in a closet and you are not sure what it does.
- Nobody set up MFA and the accountant just got locked out.
What is included
Licences, accounts, files and the server in the closet.
This is the day-to-day administration of the platform your whole business runs on, plus the projects that get you there.
- Microsoft 365 administration
- Accounts, mailboxes, groups and settings managed for you. Changes made the same day you ask.
- Licence management
- We audit what you have against who is actually here, right-size the plans and stop you paying for empty seats.
- SharePoint, OneDrive and Teams
- One sensible structure for files, with permissions that match how your teams actually work.
- Identity and access
- MFA enforced, conditional access so a login from the wrong country fails, and devices required to be compliant before they connect.
- Migrations
- Email, files and line-of-business apps moved from old servers or other providers, scheduled so nobody loses a working day.
- Azure and servers
- Whatever still needs a server runs in Azure or on a managed box in your office, patched and backed up. Scoped per environment.

How it works
Clean it up, then keep it clean.
A one-off cleanup lasts about six months. Ongoing administration is what keeps the tenant tidy after that.
Week 1
Tenant review
Every licence, account, sharing setting and admin role listed and compared against what you actually need.
Weeks 1–2
Secure baseline
MFA, conditional access and device compliance applied so the tenant is safe before we rearrange anything.
Weeks 2–6
Structure and migrate
Files, mailboxes and any server workloads moved into one structure, one team at a time.
Ongoing
Administer
Joiners, leavers, licence changes and requests handled through the help desk, with a licence review every month.
What it costs
Administration is in every package. Licences are separate.
Our per-user rate covers running the platform. Microsoft licences are a separate line, and we tell you exactly which ones you need, so most businesses end up paying Microsoft less than they do today.
Compare every feature across the three packages- Essential
from $75–95
Microsoft 365 administration, licence management, email security, Microsoft 365 backup and basic multi-factor authentication.
- Professional
from $125–155
Adds full multi-factor authentication, 24/7 threat hunting on every device and network monitoring.
- Enterprise
from $160–190
Adds compliance reporting, vulnerability scanning and a dedicated account manager. Azure and server management scoped per environment. Quoted after a scoping call, on the same 12-month agreement.
Per user, per month, on a 12-month agreement. Enterprise is quoted after a scoping call. Monthly rates exclude a one-time setup, quoted after the IT audit. Microsoft licences and one-off migration projects are quoted separately in writing. Final pricing depends on environment complexity, compliance requirements and support scope, and is confirmed after the IT audit.
Fair questions
Fair questions about the cloud.
- Is our data safe in the cloud?
- Safer than on a server in a closet, provided the tenant is configured properly and backed up. Configuring it properly is the part most businesses skip, and it is the first thing we do.
- We just did a migration and it was painful.
- Most painful migrations are unplanned ones. We move one team at a time, on a schedule you approve, with the old system still available until everyone has confirmed the new one works.
- Can we keep our server?
- If there is a good reason, yes. We will manage it, patch it and back it up. If there is no good reason, we show you what it costs to keep and let you decide.
- Do we need to buy new licences?
- Usually the opposite. Most tenants we review are paying for seats nobody uses. We fix that first.
