Microsoft 365 Best Practices Review

Your organisation has made a significant commitment to the Microsoft ecosystem, but is it delivering the expected return on investment? Our Best Practices Review is a strategic evaluation designed to provide comprehensive insight into your Microsoft 365 environment. We benchmark your configuration against industry best practices to deliver a clear, actionable plan to enhance security, control costs, and drive adoption.

We move beyond a simple audit to deliver strategic clarity. Our review gives you the evidence-based recommendations needed to transform your productivity suite from a simple utility into a true business advantage.

A holistic review of your ecosystem

Our review is structured around the three pillars that matter most to IT leaders. We conduct a comprehensive review of:

  • Security Posture and Compliance: We conduct a deep dive into your environment, assessing your Entra ID configuration, Conditional Access policies, Microsoft Defender usage, and Purview data governance. The outcome is a clear understanding of your Microsoft Secure Score and a prioritised roadmap to mitigate risks.

  • Licence Optimisation and Cost Management: The complexity of Microsoft licensing often leads to significant hidden costs. We analyse your licence allocation and usage, identifying opportunities to right-size your investment by eliminating waste and ensuring you are leveraging the full capability of the features you already pay for.

  • User Adoption and Productivity: We assess how your teams are using tools like Teams, SharePoint, and OneDrive to collaborate. By analysing usage data and engaging with your people, we identify opportunities to improve workflows and drive deeper adoption of powerful but often underutilised tools.

A structured and insight-driven process

Our review is a partnership. We begin by engaging with your key stakeholders to understand your objectives. Our specialists then conduct a thorough technical analysis of your tenancy, combining our findings with your business goals to produce a comprehensive recommendations report. This report doesn’t just list problems; it provides a prioritised, actionable plan to resolve them, complete with a compelling business case to justify further investment.
