Microsoft 365

Microsoft 365 combines email, identity, file storage, collaboration and desktop applications within a single tenant. A well-run deployment needs more than licences: user identities, access policies, sharing controls and data ownership all need to be considered.

As a Microsoft partner, IP6net helps organisations migrate to Microsoft 365, correct existing tenant problems and manage the service once it is in use. We support customers moving from on-premises Exchange, Google Workspace, POP or IMAP mailboxes and other hosted platforms.

Migration and tenant setup

Migration planning starts with the source systems, user accounts, domains, mail flow, shared mailboxes and the data that needs to move. We agree the cutover method, test the process and make sure users know what will change.

Our Microsoft 365 work can include:

• Tenant creation, domain verification and DNS changes for Exchange Online.
• User, group, shared mailbox and distribution-list configuration.
• Mailbox, calendar and contact migration, with source and destination checks.
• OneDrive and SharePoint data migration where these services are in scope.
• Teams configuration, including guest access and external collaboration settings.
• Licence selection and assignment based on user and security requirements.

Identity, security and data sharing

Microsoft 365 services are closely connected. A Teams workspace can rely on SharePoint for files, Exchange for calendars and Microsoft Entra ID for identity. Policies therefore need to be designed across the tenant rather than applied to one application in isolation.

IP6net can help configure multi-factor authentication, Conditional Access, administrative roles, external sharing and baseline security settings. Where licensing permits, we can also assist with device compliance and access controls. Changes are tested carefully so that stronger controls do not unexpectedly block legitimate users or integrations.

Administration and user support

Ongoing support covers common administration and user issues such as account changes, mailbox permissions, Outlook configuration, Teams access, OneDrive synchronisation and shared-file permissions. We can also help with leavers, ownership transfer and retention requirements so that business data is not left tied to an inactive account.
