Expertise

From legacy IT to cloud operations.

Seven knowledge areas — one accountability. We run, protect and modernise your Microsoft cloud so your team stays productive anywhere.

Why now

What drives the cloud today.

Microsoft 365 & Modern Workplace

Microsoft ships changes to M365 every month — new features, new licenses, new security defaults.

Security & Compliance

Attackers now use automation, AI-driven phishing and initial-access brokers — the time from first contact to encryption is dropping to hours.

Migration & Transformation

M&A activity, carve-outs and group restructurings keep generating migration needs — usually with hard deadlines.

Technology

Our Microsoft and partner stack.

We rely on official Microsoft platforms complemented by established partner solutions — no black-box tools.

FAQ

Common questions from first calls.

Microsoft 365 & Modern Workplace

Do we have to give up our existing tenant?

No. We take over your existing Microsoft 365 tenant including domains, licenses and data — no migration required.

Identity & Access (Entra ID)

Do we need Entra ID P2?

For risk-based Conditional Access and PIM, yes. We assess your needs and recommend the most cost-effective license mix.

Intune & Endpoint Management

Can we bring existing devices?

Yes. Existing Windows devices can be enrolled hybrid or cloud-only into Intune without reinstall.

Azure & Cloud Infrastructure

Should we put everything in one subscription?

No. We split by environment (prod/non-prod) and workload — this keeps billing, security and access clean.

Security & Compliance

Do we need E5?

For full coverage often yes — but we evaluate whether E3 plus targeted add-ons (Defender, Entra P2) is more economical.

Teams telephony

Can we keep our phone numbers?

Yes. We port existing numbers in a structured way without downtime.

Migration & Transformation

How long does a tenant migration take?

Depending on size, 8–20 weeks from assessment to hypercare — we deliver binding cut-over dates.

Migration & Transformation

Can endpoints be migrated too?

Yes. With specialised migration tooling we move Intune devices into the target tenant without re-enrollment.
