shawcsIT handles the full lifecycle of Microsoft 365 for your business: licensing selection, initial deployment, data migration, security configuration, ongoing management, and user support.
Moving from on-premises Exchange, Google Workspace, IMAP/POP3 or another platform? We plan migrations carefully to minimize downtime and make sure email history, contacts, calendars, and files transfer cleanly.
What We Handle
- Licensing and procurement
- Email and file migration
- Security configuration
- Teams and SharePoint setup
- OneDrive management
- Ongoing administration
- User training
Full Lifecycle
Microsoft 365, Handled
Licensing & Procurement
We help you choose the right Microsoft 365 plan for your business size and needs, and handle procurement through our partnership.
Migration
We plan and execute migrations from on-premises Exchange, Google Workspace, and other platforms with minimal disruption, so all email history, contacts, calendars, and files transfer cleanly.
Security Configuration
We configure MFA, conditional access policies, data loss prevention (DLP), mobile device management, and admin role assignments from day one.
Teams & SharePoint Setup
We build out your Teams channels, SharePoint sites, and document libraries with a logical structure that your team will actually use.
OneDrive Management
We configure OneDrive sync policies, known folder migration, and storage quotas to keep company data organized and recoverable.
Ongoing Management
License assignments, user provisioning, group policy updates, and troubleshooting. We handle the admin console so you do not have to.
User Training
Our Software Learning program offers training on the Microsoft 365 apps and more, with a live instructor or in a self-paced online format, through our partners at Formation CAD.
Microsoft 365 Backup
Microsoft’s built-in retention is not designed for long-term recovery. Our managed backup retains Exchange, Teams, OneDrive, and SharePoint data for 7 years on Canadian infrastructure.
