Modernize your legacy data with our expert migration services

In this blog, I will be moving on from Office 365 permissions to something broader: Azure AD. Azure AD is the directory service behind Office 365 and takes care of identity provisioning and authentication. Actually, this definition is not entirely correct. In fact, Office 365 is just one of the thousands of services/applications that use […]

A recent post on the Microsoft Tech Community reminded me about a topic I wanted to discuss for a while now – Outlook mobile app licensing requirements, and how to make sure you are not violating them.

Everyone loves time savers, life hacks, or whatever you want to call them. Working in IT, we all have our top, ‘go-to’ time savers, and in Office 365 having your Tenant ID at your fingertips can be a great one to have at your disposal.

You can also set up shared calendars in SharePoint Online so you and your colleagues have easy access to common schedules and dates, alongside your […]

And in particular, how can migrating PST files Office 365 help bring them back under your control? PST files were designed to create […]

Office 365 and archiving Email archiving is a systematic approach to saving and preserving data contained in email messages so it can be searched and accessed at a later date. Most organizations of a reasonable size are likely to need a compliant archive solution. If you’re a smaller business just starting out with Office 365 […]
