Microsoft 365
Paying for Microsoft 365 and only using the email?
Most businesses use about a fifth of what they already pay for every month. The rest — storage, security, automation — sits there switched off by default.
How we fix it
Getting what you already pay for.
- Licence review — what you pay for, who actually signs in, and which licences you can drop this month.
- Email done properly — anti-spam, anti-phishing, and the DNS records that stop someone sending mail as you.
- SharePoint and Teams — files in one place, with permissions that still make sense after someone leaves.
- Migrations — off an old server, Gmail or another provider, usually over a weekend.
- Security and backup — multi-factor switched on, and a real backup of your mailboxes, because Microsoft doesn’t keep one for you.
A job like this, start to finish
Here is the shape of a typical job.
A fifteen-person office is paying for sixteen licences on the top plan. Four of them belong to people who left. Everyone is on email and nothing else: the files live on a server in the corner and get copied to USB sticks when someone works from home.
We drop the four unused licences and move eight people to a cheaper plan, which pays for the project inside the first year. The files move to SharePoint so the home-working copies stop existing. Multi-factor goes on every account. The server in the corner gets switched off, and nobody misses it.
