03 · Cloud & Microsoft 365

Microsoft 365 and Azure, built the boring way, which is the correct way.

Most M365 tenants we inherit have been clicked together by three different consultants over five years. We rebuild them on a single, documented baseline, and then maintain the discipline that keeps them that way.

The Take

How we think about Cloud & Microsoft 365.

Microsoft 365 is deceptively easy to start and quietly punishing to run badly. Identity sprawl, over-permissioned admin, conditional access gaps, unmanaged guests, abandoned SharePoint sites, none of it shows up until it does. We design, harden, migrate and govern the whole tenant as one system.

What we deliver

Capabilities.

01

Tenant design & baseline

Identity, naming, licensing, RBAC and conditional access, designed once, documented, version-controlled.

02

Migration & cutover

From Google, on-prem Exchange, or another tenant. Rehearsed, scheduled, no surprises on Monday.

03

Intune & device management

Autopilot, compliance, app deployment, BitLocker, update rings, every device on a known baseline.

04

SharePoint & OneDrive governance

Site lifecycle, sharing controls, retention, sensitivity labels, so your data stops leaking sideways.

05

Teams & meetings

Calling plans, meeting policies, MTR-friendly room accounts, Teams as a platform, not an app.

06

Azure landing zone

Subscriptions, networking, identity, monitoring and budgets, a sensible foundation before you build anything.

07

Hardening & Secure Score

We don't chase the number, we chase the controls behind it, and give you the audit trail.

08

Quarterly tenant reviews

Every 90 days: drift, risks, cost, new features worth turning on, ones to leave alone.

Commonly asked

FAQ.

Can you migrate without downtime?
Almost always, coexistence and staged cutovers mean users log in Monday morning to working email and files. We rehearse the cutover the weekend before.
Do you charge per migrated mailbox?
We quote a fixed migration price after a one-hour scoping call. No per-mailbox surprises.
What about compliance, DIFC, ADGM, ISO 27001?
We design the M365 controls with the relevant framework in mind and produce auditor-ready documentation.
Will you stay involved after migration?
Most clients keep us on a managed contract for tenant governance. You can also hand back fully documented.
