Microsoft 365

Best in class business tools from the most well-rounded provider of Cloud services. Powerful & flexible, Microsoft’s Cloud provides the horsepower for numerous services such as Entra (previously known as Azure) and expansive suites such as Microsoft 365. As a partner we’re able to provide all Microsoft 365 licenses to you at the same price as Microsoft but with the added benefit of our support and configuration being included. We recommend using these services with MFA.

Below are some of the key features we leverage:

Microsoft’s Exchange Online is the most popular choice for hosted emails and for a good reason, flexible adjustments to your mailboxes from a centralised location, enterprise grade security features and accessible from anywhere. Integrate many of your custom domains and even allow us to synchronise your credentials with your computer logon via Microsoft Entra Active Directory.

Microsoft 365 Apps You’ve likely used the Office software before, with this cloud offering you’re still able to use the desktop apps from anywhere using your 365 logon and remain on the latest version of the software, boosting productivity with collaborative working such as multiple users working on a spreadsheet live at the same time.

Microsoft SharePoint Online. A great tool for sharing files, calendars and more internally between colleagues and providing access to clients or contractors with ease. SharePoint also acts as a storage location for other office apps such as Teams. Access company files flexibly from anywhere.

Microsoft Teams. Perfect for creating meetings with colleagues and business partners, enable remote meetings with Teams Video conferencing and create channels for your staff teams to communicate with each other effectively with instant messaging.

Microsoft Endpoint Management. This allows us to keep your devices compliant with the latest patches and updates, deploy required software, provide SSO, managed Bitlocker encryption and integrate your devices into the Microsoft Entra ecosystem. Previously known as Microsoft InTune.

Microsoft Entra

Microsoft Entra is a cutting edge cloud platform aiming to provide solutions to traditional application and infrastructure needs that would have been serviced by an on-premises datacentre or server rack. We offer fully cloud and hybrid cloud solutions depending on your requirements that leverage many features of Microsoft Entra. Our most commonly utilized Entra services are:

Windows VM, A cloud hosted virtual server to host an application or service that you require. This object is composed of many virtual hardware components securely hosted in Microsoft datacentres which we can then manage controlled connectivity to your environment.

Entra ADDS and Azure Files These two offerings go hand in hand to provide you with a cloud hosted file share and allow authentication with your Microsoft 365 logon from onsite.

Azure Cloud Backup, Whether you’re in need of a cloud location to store backups from a set of on premiss servers or keep backups and snapshots of cloud VMs and services this can be a great option.

Datto Workplace

An alternative option for storing and accessing your files in the cloud, featuring a desktop app, we’ll be able to map this to your computer seamlessly, making it as simple as accessing a traditional file share but with the added bonus of no server onsite.

Exclaimer

A cloud based Email Signature Service – Email signatures are a business significance that’s often understated. Not only do they convey certain pieces of information (e.g. phone numbers or social media accounts), but they also show organisational consistency and brand continuity.
