Microsoft 365 Management
Get the most out of your Microsoft 365 investment. We handle setup, migration, security hardening, and ongoing optimization so your team can focus on work.
Most Businesses Aren't Using M365 Properly
Microsoft 365 is powerful, but most businesses only scratch the surface. They buy licenses, set up email, and stop there, leaving security features disabled and productivity tools unused.
What We Typically Find
- MFA not enabled (or only on some accounts)
- Security Defaults and Conditional Access not configured
- No email filtering beyond basic Exchange settings
- SharePoint and OneDrive sharing set to "anyone"
- No audit logging or alerting configured
- Paying for Business Premium but using Business Basic features
- Former employee accounts still active
- No data loss prevention (DLP) policies
How We Fix It
- MFA enforced on every account with conditional access
- Security policies configured to Microsoft best practices
- Advanced email filtering and anti-phishing deployed
- Sharing policies locked down to appropriate levels
- Unified audit log enabled with alerting on suspicious activity
- License optimization: right license for each user role
- Automated offboarding that disables accounts same-day
- DLP policies protecting sensitive business data

Microsoft 365 Migration
Moving to Microsoft 365 or switching from another provider? We handle the entire migration with zero data loss and minimal disruption.
Assessment & Planning
We audit your current environment: email, files, applications, and users. We map out the migration plan, identify potential issues, and set a timeline.
Preparation
DNS records, license provisioning, user accounts, and security policies are configured before we move any data. We set up the new environment properly from the start.
Data Migration
Email, calendars, contacts, files, and SharePoint content are migrated during off-hours to minimize disruption. We support migrations from Gmail, on-premises Exchange, other hosted Exchange, and legacy platforms.
Validation & Cutover
We verify all data migrated correctly, update DNS records to point to Microsoft 365, and ensure email flow is working. Your team logs in the next morning and everything works.
Post-Migration Optimization
After migration, we optimize security settings, configure advanced features, train your team on new tools, and fine-tune the environment based on usage.
Microsoft Secure Score Improvement
Microsoft Secure Score is a measurement of your organization's security posture within Microsoft 365. Most businesses score below 40% when we first assess them. Our goal is to get you above 80%.

License Optimization
Many businesses overpay for Microsoft 365 by assigning the same license to every user, or underpay by using Business Basic when they need Business Premium features. We right-size your licenses.
| License | Best For | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Business Basic | Frontline workers who only need email and web apps | CAD $8.10/user/mo |
| Business Standard | Office workers who need desktop Office apps | CAD $16.50/user/mo |
| Business Premium | Everyone. Includes Intune, advanced security, and compliance | CAD $30.80/user/mo |
We recommend Business Premium for most users due to the included security features (Intune, Defender, Conditional Access). The additional cost pays for itself in reduced security risk.
