The right 365 licence, no more than you need.

Pick the licence and slide the people. Most businesses we review are paying for the wrong tier on a third of their seats.

It depends on what each person uses. We review what you have and match the tier to the person; most businesses we review are paying for the wrong tier on a third of their seats. Licences are then reviewed every quarter.

Not in the way most people assume: the recycle bin is not a backup. We copy mailboxes daily to our backup platform outside Microsoft, at £2 a user.

25 Business Standard licences are £262 a month ex VAT on an annual commitment. With Defender for Business and backup added it comes to about £375 a month.

Three weeks from first call to everyone on the new tenant: review in week one, security in week two, then mail and files move over a weekend. Staff sign in on Monday with the same address.

Nothing matches that. Ring 0113 216 6777 and an engineer will answer it.
