Microsoft 365 Pillar 03

Microsoft 365 can transform the way your team works.

One connected platform for everything your team does, from email and files to meetings and apps. We set it up around the way you work and help your people get the most from it.

“Better-IT migrated our physical server to Microsoft 365 and enrolled 10 user laptops. Teams, OneDrive and SharePoint set up with the right permissions, plus training sessions with every user. All delivered by the friendly and very knowledgeable Dan. Definitely recommended.”

Modern workplace

Paying for a modern workplace, but do you actually have one?

Most teams get Word, Excel, Outlook and Teams, then the rest of the licence sits switched off. That is where the security, the automation and Copilot live. Here is what we switch on:

From our Microsoft 365 lead
“Most businesses have loads of 365 sitting there unused, and they’re paying for all of it. I fix that. I look after each tenant like it’s my own, keep it secure, keep it current, and make sure clients actually get the benefit of what they’ve bought. Sort the foundations and the rest gets easy.”

01

Security, already paid for

Defender, Intune and conditional access are in your licence. We switch them on and manage them to Cyber Essentials standards.

02

Automation that earns its keep

Power Automate and Power Apps built around your processes, so the repetitive work does itself.

03

Files and Teams, structured properly

SharePoint, OneDrive and Teams configured for how your team actually works, not a copy-paste default.

04

The groundwork for Copilot

A tidy, well-permissioned tenant is what makes Copilot useful. Everything above is preparation for the day you switch it on.

Copilot

Copilot is only as good as the tenant underneath it.

It reads what your people can already reach. If permissions are loose, files are scattered or data is out of date, that is exactly what comes back. We get the foundations right first, then help your team use it properly.

  • Permissions in orderWho can see what, checked and corrected, before Copilot starts summarising it.
  • Files where they belongSharePoint and OneDrive tidied and labelled, so answers come from the current version.
  • People who know how to askPractical sessions on the prompts and habits that turn Copilot into time saved each week.
  • Guardrails you can explainClear rules on what may be shared with AI, ready for the questions clients and auditors ask.

Layer 02

Intune device management

Every device enrolled, encrypted, compliant and managed from the cloud, wherever it is.

Layer 03

Microsoft Defender

Endpoint, email and cloud-app protection, tuned and monitored, not left on defaults.

Purview & data protection

Sensitivity labels, data-loss prevention and retention so your information stays where it should.

Frequently asked

The questions we get asked about Microsoft 365.

Straight answers on licensing, security, Copilot and getting more from what you already pay for.

We already have Microsoft 365. What would you actually do?

Most businesses use a fraction of what they already pay for. We audit your tenancy, tighten security, and put a plan in place to use what you own. Same licences, far more value.

Can you help our team get more out of Teams?

Yes. We include two hours of Teams and SharePoint collaboration training as part of your onboarding, and for anything deeper we bring in a Microsoft 365 specialist. It is one of the quickest ways to get more from the licences you already pay for.

Is our data safe in Microsoft 365?

Microsoft runs the platform, but securing your tenancy is your responsibility, and that is where we come in. We review your Microsoft Secure Score, close the gaps and keep it monitored.

Do we need extra backup for Microsoft 365?

Microsoft keeps the service running but retention has limits, and deleted or corrupted data is not automatically recoverable forever. You will need to check your terms and conditions, which is why we recommend proper backup in place for email, SharePoint, OneDrive and Teams, and booking a session with our Microsoft 365 specialist.

Is Copilot worth it for a business our size?

It can be, but only with the groundwork done first. Copilot surfaces whatever your permissions let it see, so governance comes before rollout. We run readiness checks, pilot it with a small group, and measure whether it earns its licence cost.

Are we on the right licences?

Possibly not, and it is one of the first things we check. Licensing gets reviewed at every quarterly business review rather than just renewed, so you are not paying for seats or plans nobody uses.

Can you migrate us from another platform?

Yes. We move businesses into Microsoft 365 from Google Workspace, older Exchange servers and file servers regularly. Mail, files and calendars come across with your team working throughout.

Who looks after it once it is set up?

A dedicated Microsoft 365 team, accountable for the tenancy end to end. It is monitored, patched and improved continuously, not set up and forgotten.
