Microsoft 365 Setup.
We set up Microsoft 365 for your business, from choosing the right plan to a working tenant with email, Teams, OneDrive and SharePoint. We verify your domain, create users and licences, migrate existing mail, configure SPF, DKIM and DMARC, enforce multi-factor authentication and train users, so the platform starts secure and organised.
Typically 1–2 weeks. The number of mailboxes, the volume of mail to migrate and access to DNS drive the time.

Typically 1–2 weeks. The number of mailboxes, the volume of mail to migrate and access to DNS drive the time.

Plan selection
We compare Business Basic, Standard and Premium against your needs for desktop apps, device management and security, and confirm whether Teams is included in the offer you buy.

Tenant and domain
We set up the tenant, verify your domain and add the DNS records for mail and other services.
- 3
Users and security
Users, groups and licences are created, and multi-factor authentication and admin roles are configured.
- 4
Mail migration
Existing mailboxes are migrated through the Exchange admin center or PST import, with a planned MX switchover.

Mail authentication
SPF, DKIM and DMARC are configured to protect your domain from spoofing.

Apps and training
Office apps, OneDrive and Teams are set up on user devices, and users are trained.
What we need from you.
Don't have everything yet? We send a short checklist after the first call and work with what you have.

- When you pay — upfront, in stages or on completion — is agreed in writing with the fee.
