Setup and moving your email
Whether you're starting fresh or moving from another email provider, the goal is the same: everyone signs in on Monday and their mail, calendar and contacts are just there.
- Microsoft 365 set up on your own business email address
- Email, calendars and contacts moved over from your old provider
- Outlook set up on computers and phones
- Shared mailboxes and calendars for the front desk or the office
Sign-in security
Most business email break-ins start with one stolen password. A few settings make that far harder, and they're simple to live with once they're set up.
- Two-step sign-in for everyone
- Old and shared accounts cleaned up
- Warnings about suspicious sign-ins
- Access turned off when someone leaves
Teams and shared files
Teams and OneDrive can replace the shared drive in the back office and the group text, if they're set up around how your people actually work.
- Teams for chat and meetings, set up by team or location
- Shared files in SharePoint and OneDrive, with the right people in each folder
- Teams meeting rooms with Yealink video and conference phones
- Help for staff getting used to it
Licenses and users
Paying for the wrong licenses is common, and so is paying for people who left a year ago. We keep track of who has what.
- The right license for each person, not the most expensive one for everybody
- New staff set up and ready on their first day
- Licenses freed up when someone leaves
- A record of who has what and when it renews
Backups tooMicrosoft keeps Microsoft 365 running, but deleted or encrypted email and files are your responsibility to get back. We'll talk you through whether a separate backup makes sense for your business, as part of Backup & Recovery.
Microsoft 365 support in Sault Ste. Marie and across the U.P.
We set up and support Microsoft 365 for businesses in Sault Ste. Marie, across the Upper Peninsula and anywhere else in Michigan: business email, Outlook, Teams, OneDrive, SharePoint and licenses. Almost all of it is done remotely, so it works the same in Newberry or Petoskey as it does in the Soo.

Common questions
Can you move us from Gmail or another email provider?
Yes. We move email, calendars and contacts over and plan the switch so mail keeps arriving the whole time.
What happens when someone leaves?
We turn off their sign-in, hand their email and files to whoever needs them, and free up the license, so nothing is lost and nobody keeps access they shouldn't.
Do you need to come on site to set up Microsoft 365?
Usually not. Setup, moving email and day-to-day support are done remotely. If you'd like someone there on switch-over day, we can schedule that.
