MORE THAN EMAIL AND OFFICE APPS
Microsoft 365 Managed Services for Your Entire Business

For many businesses, Microsoft 365 now sits at the center of employee identity, email, files, collaboration, device security, remote access, and cybersecurity.
Our Microsoft 365 Managed Services include:
Instead of treating Microsoft 365 as a collection of separate products, we help manage it as part of the larger technology environment your employees depend on every day.
- Microsoft 365 tenant administration
- User onboarding and offboarding
- Exchange Online administration
- Teams configuration and support
- OneDrive management
- SharePoint administration
- Licensing and subscription management
- Multi-factor authentication
- Conditional Access
- Microsoft Entra ID
- Microsoft Intune
- Microsoft Defender
- Email security
- Backup strategy
- Security policy configuration
- Microsoft 365 troubleshooting
- Vendor and licensing coordination
User and License Management
We manage users, groups, permissions, mailboxes, licenses, shared mailboxes, distribution groups, and administrative access.
Teams, OneDrive, and SharePoint
We help businesses use Microsoft collaboration tools in a structured way so employees can find information, share files securely, and work together without creating unnecessary data sprawl.
Exchange Online
We manage business email, mailbox configuration, security settings, distribution groups, shared mailboxes, retention considerations, and related Microsoft 365 services.
Ongoing Microsoft 365 Support
When employees have trouble with Outlook, Teams, OneDrive, accounts, permissions, or Microsoft applications, they can work with the same NCP support organization that manages the rest of the environment.
STOP PAYING FOR THE WRONG LICENSES
Microsoft 365 Licensing Review and Optimization
Microsoft licensing can become surprisingly complicated as a business grows. Companies often accumulate a mix of Business Basic, Business Standard, Business Premium, Exchange plans, add-ons, and enterprise licenses without regularly reviewing whether those licenses still match how employees actually work.
We can review your Microsoft 365 environment to identify:
- Unused licenses.
- Former employees still consuming licenses.
- Users on plans that provide more than they need.
- Users missing security or management features they should have.
- Duplicate or unnecessary add-ons.
- Opportunities to standardize licensing.
- Security features already included in your subscriptions but not yet configured.
The goal is not simply to find the cheapest license. It is to make sure you are paying for the Microsoft capabilities your business actually needs, and using the capabilities you are already paying for.
Business Basic, Standard, Premium, or Enterprise?
Different employees may need different capabilities.
We help businesses evaluate Microsoft 365 Business Basic, Business Standard, Business Premium, Microsoft 365 E3, and other licensing options based on security, device management, desktop applications, compliance requirements, and business needs.
Microsoft 365 Business Premium, for example, currently includes Microsoft Intune, Microsoft Entra ID P1, and Microsoft Defender for Business, making it particularly relevant for organizations that want stronger identity and device controls.
MOVE WITHOUT CREATING A NEW IT PROBLEM
Microsoft 365 and Office 365 Migration Services
A Microsoft 365 migration is not just a matter of moving email.
A successful migration has to account for identities, mailboxes, files, permissions, mobile devices, applications, DNS, security controls, user communication, and the way employees actually work.
Our migration process is designed to reduce disruption and give employees a clear path before, during, and after the cutover.
Assess the Existing Environment
We review users, mailboxes, files, applications, domains, DNS, permissions, shared resources, devices, security settings, and dependencies before anything moves.
Design the Microsoft 365 Environment
We establish licensing, user accounts, security policies, administrative roles, MFA, email configuration, file structure, and collaboration requirements.
Prepare and Migrate the Data
Depending on the project, we can coordinate the migration of:
- Email
- Calendars
- On-premises Exchange
- SharePoint data
- Google Workspace data
- Contacts
- File server data
- OneDrive data
- Shared folders
- Shared mailboxes
- Personal drives
Coordinate the Cutover
We plan the transition around your business schedule and dependencies to minimize interruption.
Support Employees After the Migration
Users often need the most help immediately after a migration.
We assist with Outlook profiles, mobile devices, Teams, OneDrive, login changes, MFA, file access, permissions, and other post-migration issues.
Google Workspace to Microsoft 365 Migration
For businesses moving from Google Workspace, we can help migrate email, calendars, contacts, and files while preparing employees for the differences between Google Workspace and the Microsoft 365 environment.
Exchange Online Migration
Organizations still running Exchange servers may be able to move email services to Exchange Online and reduce the burden of maintaining messaging infrastructure internally.
The right migration strategy depends on the existing Exchange environment, applications, identity configuration, security requirements, and other business dependencies.
CLOUD INFRASTRUCTURE WITHOUT GUESSWORK
Azure Managed Services and Azure Consulting
Microsoft Azure can replace or extend traditional onsite infrastructure, but moving a server to the cloud is not automatically the right answer.
Sometimes Azure makes excellent business sense.
Sometimes replacing an onsite server is simpler and less expensive.
Our Azure consulting starts by understanding the workload rather than assuming everything belongs in the cloud.
We evaluate:
- Current server workloads
- Processing requirements
- Business continuity
- Application requirements
- Backup needs
- Remote access
- Storage
- Internet dependencies
- Security
- Licensing
- Monthly operating costs
- Expected growth
Then we help determine whether the better path is Azure, new onsite infrastructure, a hybrid environment, or another cloud solution.
Azure Cloud Servers
We can help businesses design, deploy, migrate, manage, monitor, secure, and back up workloads running in Microsoft Azure.
Typical uses may include:
- Windows Server workloads
- Line-of-business applications
- File and application servers
- Development or test environments
- Remote-access workloads
- Multi-location business systems
- Cloud-based infrastructure
Azure Virtual Desktop
Azure Virtual Desktop can provide employees with full Windows desktops or individual applications delivered through Azure. Microsoft supports both personal and pooled desktops, including multi-session configurations designed to scale resources efficiently.
It can be useful for businesses that need:
- Secure access to business applications
- Consistent desktop environments
- Remote and hybrid work
- Centralized application delivery
- Access from multiple locations
- Reduced dependence on traditional remote desktop servers
We help determine whether Azure Virtual Desktop makes operational and financial sense before recommending it.
Azure Backup and Recovery
Cloud infrastructure still needs a recovery strategy.
We help businesses evaluate backup retention, recovery objectives, redundancy, disaster recovery, and the ability to restore critical workloads when something goes wrong.
SECURITY BUILT AROUND IDENTITY
Microsoft 365 Security, Email Protection, and Identity Management
For most businesses, Microsoft 365 security starts with identity.
If an attacker gains control of an employee account, they may gain access to email, Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive, business applications, and sensitive company information.
We help businesses build layered Microsoft 365 security around identities, devices, email, and data.
Multi-Factor Authentication
MFA adds another layer of verification beyond a password and should form part of the baseline security strategy for Microsoft 365.
Conditional Access
Conditional Access can apply rules based on users, devices, locations, applications, and other conditions before allowing access to company resources.
Microsoft Entra ID
Microsoft Entra ID provides the identity platform behind Microsoft 365 and many other cloud applications.
We can help manage user identities, authentication, administrative access, security groups, and identity policies.
Microsoft Defender
Depending on licensing, Microsoft Defender technologies can help protect endpoints, email, identities, and Microsoft cloud services.
Microsoft 365 Business Premium currently includes Defender for Business, which Microsoft positions for small and midsized organizations with up to 300 users.
Microsoft 365 Email Security
Email remains one of the most common entry points for phishing, credential theft, malware, account takeover, and business email compromise.
We can help strengthen email security with a combination of Microsoft controls and other security technologies based on the organization's risk profile.

Microsoft Purview
Microsoft Purview includes tools related to information protection, data loss prevention, retention, compliance, and data governance.
Not every business needs the same Purview configuration, so we focus on the controls that match the organization's licensing, risk, and regulatory requirements.
CONTROL THE DEVICES ACCESSING YOUR DATA
Microsoft Intune Management for Business Devices
Employees increasingly access company information from laptops, phones, tablets, and devices that may never connect directly to an office network.
Microsoft Intune provides cloud-based endpoint management for controlling devices and access to company resources. Microsoft currently includes Intune with Microsoft 365 Business Premium and several enterprise Microsoft 365 plans.
Our Intune management services include:
- Device enrollment
- Windows device policies
- Mobile device management
- Application deployment
- Security configuration
- Compliance policies
- Encryption requirements
- Device access controls
- Windows configuration
- Remote device actions
- Policy standardization
- Integration with Conditional Access
Windows Autopilot
For supported environments, Windows Autopilot can help standardize how new Windows computers are configured and delivered to employees.
That can reduce manual setup work and create a more consistent experience as a company adds employees or replaces devices.
YOUR FILES NEED STRUCTURE TOO
SharePoint Consulting and Microsoft 365 File Management
SharePoint can be a powerful platform for company files, collaboration, intranets, and document management.
It can also become confusing quickly when sites, permissions, Teams channels, shared folders, and OneDrive accounts grow without a plan.
Our SharePoint consulting focuses on building a structure employees can actually understand and use.
We can help with:
- SharePoint site structure
- Document libraries
- Permissions
- Team and department sites
- File-server migrations
- Microsoft Teams integration
- OneDrive strategy
- External sharing
- Security
- Retention considerations
- Access management
Moving File Servers to SharePoint and OneDrive
Not every traditional file server should be moved directly into SharePoint. We first review how employees use the data, file sizes, applications, permissions, folder structure, performance requirements, and other dependencies. Where SharePoint or OneDrive is appropriate, we help restructure and migrate the data rather than simply copying years of folder sprawl into the cloud.
MICROSOFT DOES NOT ELIMINATE THE NEED FOR BACKUP
Microsoft 365 Backup and Recovery
Microsoft provides extensive availability, retention, versioning, and recovery capabilities within Microsoft 365, but businesses still need to decide how they will recover data from accidental deletion, ransomware, malicious actions, or other scenarios.
Microsoft itself distinguishes disaster-recovery copies and version history from dedicated point-in-time backup capabilities.
The appropriate backup strategy depends on recovery expectations, retention requirements, cybersecurity risk, and business continuity needs.
We help businesses evaluate backup requirements for:
- Exchange Online
- OneDrive
- SharePoint
- Teams-related data
- Critical Microsoft 365 information
MAKE THE MICROSOFT ENVIRONMENT FIT THE BUSINESS
Microsoft 365 Consulting and Technology Planning
Microsoft changes constantly.
New products, license bundles, security capabilities, AI tools, collaboration features, and administrative options can make it difficult for business leaders to know which changes actually matter.
Our Microsoft 365 consulting focuses on business outcomes rather than feature lists.
The objective is not to adopt every Microsoft product.
It is to use the right Microsoft tools for the way your business operates.
We help answer questions such as:
- Are we paying for licenses we do not need?
- Should we move from Business Standard to Business Premium?
- Do we need E3 or E5?
- Are we using the security tools already included in our licenses?
- Should we move our file server to SharePoint?
- Is Azure a better option than replacing our server?
- Should we use Azure Virtual Desktop?
- Is Intune appropriate for our employees and devices?
- Are former employees and old accounts properly removed?
- Are administrative permissions too broad?
- Is our Microsoft 365 environment ready for wider AI adoption?
- Which Microsoft Copilot products make sense for our organization?
SERVER OR CLOUD?
Should You Replace Your Server or Move It to Azure?
This is one of the most important questions we help businesses answer.
Moving a server to Azure changes the financial model from buying hardware every several years to paying ongoing cloud infrastructure costs.
That can create advantages, but it is not automatically cheaper.
Azure may make sense when:
- Employees work from multiple locations
- Applications need flexible cloud access
- Infrastructure must scale
- Hardware replacement would be significant
- Business continuity requirements are high
- A workload benefits from cloud integration
- The organization wants to reduce onsite infrastructure
A new onsite server may make more sense when:
- The application performs best locally
- Internet dependence would create operational risk
- The workload is predictable
- Cloud operating costs would exceed the benefits
- Large local datasets are constantly accessed
- Existing network infrastructure is appropriate
A hybrid approach may be best when:
Some workloads belong in Microsoft 365 or Azure while others are better kept onsite.
We help compare the operational requirements, security, recovery expectations, and long-term cost before recommending either approach.

MICROSOFT CLOUD SERVICES FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Microsoft 365 & Azure Frequently Asked Questions
What does Microsoft 365 Business Premium include?
Microsoft 365 Business Premium combines Microsoft productivity applications and cloud services with additional identity, device-management, and security capabilities. Microsoft currently includes technologies such as Intune, Entra ID P1, and Defender for Business in the plan.
The right license still depends on how your employees work and which features your business will actually configure and use.
Does Microsoft 365 Business Premium include Intune?
Yes. Microsoft currently includes Microsoft Intune capabilities with Microsoft 365 Business Premium. Intune can be used to manage and secure supported computers, mobile devices, applications, and access policies.
Does Microsoft 365 Business Standard include Copilot?
Microsoft Copilot licensing changes over time and varies by Copilot product. Business Standard includes Microsoft 365 productivity applications, but businesses should review current Microsoft licensing before assuming a particular Copilot capability is included.
We can help evaluate current licensing and AI-readiness before deployment.
How should a business back up Microsoft 365 data?
A Microsoft 365 backup strategy should consider Exchange Online, OneDrive, SharePoint, Teams-related data, retention requirements, accidental deletion, ransomware, malicious actions, and recovery-time expectations.
Built-in retention and versioning can be useful, but they are not the same as every form of dedicated backup and point-in-time recovery.
Can you migrate Google Workspace to Microsoft 365?
Yes. We can help plan and coordinate migrations from Google Workspace to Microsoft 365, including email, calendars, contacts, files, user accounts, security configuration, and employee transition support.
Can you migrate an on-premises Exchange server to Exchange Online?
In many environments, yes. The appropriate migration method depends on the Exchange version, identity configuration, applications, mail flow, security requirements, and other dependencies.
We assess the current environment before selecting the migration approach.
Can you move our file server to SharePoint?
Possibly.
SharePoint and OneDrive can replace many traditional file-server use cases, but not every workload belongs there. We first evaluate files, permissions, application dependencies, file sizes, workflows, and user requirements.
Can Azure replace our onsite server?
Sometimes.
Azure can replace many traditional server workloads, but the best choice depends on application requirements, performance, internet connectivity, security, recovery needs, and long-term costs.
We compare Azure, new onsite infrastructure, and hybrid alternatives before making a recommendation.
What is Azure Virtual Desktop?
Azure Virtual Desktop is Microsoft's cloud-based desktop and application virtualization platform. It can provide employees with full Windows desktops or individual business applications through Azure.
It can be useful for remote work, centralized application delivery, multi-location businesses, and environments that need controlled access to business systems.
What does Microsoft Intune do?
Microsoft Intune helps organizations manage computers, mobile devices, applications, configuration policies, security settings, and access to company resources.
It can also work with Microsoft Entra Conditional Access so device security and compliance can influence whether a user is allowed to access company information.
Do you manage Microsoft 365 security?
Yes. We can help configure and manage Microsoft 365 security controls involving identities, MFA, Conditional Access, email, endpoints, device management, administrative access, Microsoft Defender technologies, and related cybersecurity controls.
The exact configuration depends on your Microsoft licenses and broader security requirements.
Are you a Microsoft 365 consultant?
Yes. Network Computer Pros helps businesses evaluate, configure, migrate, manage, secure, and optimize Microsoft 365 environments as part of broader IT and cybersecurity services.
