Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace
Setting up or cleaning up the tenant, moving from one to the other, mail routing, shared drives, licences.
Workplace and networks
Microsoft 365, laptops and the office network
The part of IT people actually touch every day. Accounts, laptops, phones, the shared drives, the Wi-Fi and the box in the cupboard that connects it all to the internet. We set it up once, properly, and keep it that way.
What usually goes wrong
Nothing dramatic, which is the problem. Someone left in March and still has access. Half the laptops aren't encrypted. The guest Wi-Fi is the same network as the accounts server. The Microsoft 365 tenant was set up in a hurry five years ago and nobody has looked at it since.
What's included
What we do
Laptops and phones
Windows, macOS and mobiles in Intune or Google's device management: disk encryption, updates, policies, and a remote wipe for the one left on the train.
Joiners and leavers
A checklist for each, so a new person can work on day one and a departing one loses access the same day.
The office network
Firewall, separate networks for staff, guests and printers, business Wi-Fi, and VPN for people at home or a second office (WireGuard or IPsec).
Helpdesk
Staff can raise a ticket and get a reply. You get a monthly overview of what came up.
Hardware
What to buy, keeping track of what you have, warranties, and replacing things before they die.
What you have at the end
- Documented tenant and device settings
- A network diagram and configuration backups
- Joiner and leaver checklists
- An inventory of devices and licences
What we don't do
- Selling hardware or licences at a margin
- Same-day site visits. Most work is remote

Questions
Things people ask
- Do you come to the office?
- Mostly we don't need to. For network installations or a batch of new laptops we plan a visit separately.

- Yes. Mailbox by mailbox and drive by drive, with a cut-over that keeps mail arriving throughout.
