MICROSOFT 365 & CLOUD SERVICES
Geekland IT sets up and manages Microsoft 365 for your business: accounts and licensing, email and collaboration in Outlook, Teams, SharePoint, and OneDrive, permissions and security settings, help when an application isn’t working as it should, and planning for Azure and other cloud systems.
Take an employee who leaves while their mailbox is still part of a customer conversation. You decide who should handle that correspondence, and we change the access and mailbox settings to match.
YOUR MICROSOFT 365 APPS
We manage the accounts and settings behind the applications your staff use.
BEYOND THE LICENSE
Buying a subscription gives you the software, but there are still decisions to make about who can use it, where shared information belongs, and who can change company-wide settings. Those decisions need another look as people’s responsibilities change.
We handle the administration and help staff use the applications you’ve paid for, whether they need an account change, different permissions, or help with a problem that’s interrupting their work.
We create accounts, assign licenses, and adjust permissions to match each person’s responsibilities. For example, someone approving financial reports needs different access from someone scheduling appointments.
We match each subscription to the applications, files, and security features the person’s work requires, and Microsoft 365 licensing can be added to your plan.
We help set up Outlook and shared mailboxes so the right people can handle the email they’re responsible for. We also manage collaboration settings in Teams, SharePoint, and OneDrive, including where documents are kept and who can work on them.
Geekland IT sets up MFA, reviews account access, and checks who has administrator rights and who can share files outside the business.
A receptionist needs the company handbook, not payroll files or permission to change everyone’s accounts. We manage permissions and review access as roles change; Microsoft 365 account backups can be added if you want email and files backed up.
Explore our security approachMAKE THE EVERYDAY EASIER
If staff regularly need help finding a document or getting permission to use it, even a small task can become an office interruption. Those recurring questions give us a reason to look at how Microsoft 365 is set up.
Because Geekland IT manages accounts and permissions, recurring questions about who can open a document or where to request access tell us which settings need another look.
We set up employee accounts with the permissions their roles require and review access when responsibilities change, even if the person keeps the same email address. When someone leaves, we remove their access and handle the account and mailbox changes involved.
Clients request these changes through the ticket form in the Client portal, and we already know who can approve changes for your business.
If you later need to check a past access change, you can look up the request in your Client portal ticket history and see what was changed.
A company handbook belongs somewhere everyone who needs it can find it, while someone’s unfinished meeting notes belong with their individual work files. We help establish where each kind of document should go and who should have access.
We organize documents used across the business in SharePoint and use OneDrive for individual work files, with permissions based on who needs them.
An employee who can sign in to Teams but can’t get meeting audio working still needs support. We help with Microsoft 365 application problems, including the ones that arise after the accounts and settings are in place, so nobody in your office has to work out which setting needs changing.
When Geekland IT also manages the computer on your plan, we look at the application and the computer together, so a Teams call with no microphone gets checked on both sides.
MICROSOFT AZURE & CLOUD SYSTEMS
Microsoft 365 management covers the accounts and applications your staff use every day. Moving a system to Azure is a larger project, and before you decide, we evaluate what the move would accomplish and what it would cost to keep running afterward.
If your application depends on another office system for information or sign-in, a move needs to account for that connection. We check whether those systems can work together after a move to Azure and whether older technology needs to stay in the office.
We look at who uses the application, what they need from it, and the equipment supporting it today. If it relies on another system for information or sign-in, we include that connection in the review.
Moving to Azure makes sense if you don’t want to buy and maintain hardware in your office, or if one failed piece of equipment could stop the system. Keeping it on site makes more sense if you’re concerned about what you’d keep spending to run it in the cloud, or if an older application still needs technology that isn’t suitable for a cloud move.
We look at what needs to move with the application, how employees will sign in afterward, and whether any office equipment still needs to stay running, so you understand the work the move would involve.
We compare what it would cost to run the system in the cloud with maintaining equipment in your office and replacing it when needed, counting both the move itself and the work needed to keep the system running afterward.
Moving a system to the cloud doesn’t remove the need to manage accounts, install updates, or back up files. We’ll talk through who handles each task and which backups you need, and Microsoft 365 account backups and computer backups can be added.
Before you agree to a move, we’ll go over who you contact when someone can’t sign in, who handles offboarding, and which services the proposal includes for the system afterward.
Yes. We manage the accounts in the Microsoft 365 tenant your business already uses, which is where its email accounts and access settings live. We handle new accounts, offboarding, and permission reviews, including who has administrator rights.
No. Using Microsoft 365 doesn’t require moving all your other systems into the cloud. An older application may still need office equipment to run, so we evaluate each system before recommending whether a move to Azure makes sense.
Yes. We manage Microsoft 365 accounts alongside MFA setup, email security and encryption, and endpoint protection for the computers on your plan. That connects account changes with the email and computers employees use; mobile device management for phones and tablets can be added if you need it.
We choose each person’s subscription based on the applications they use, the security features they need, and the files or settings they need to reach. Microsoft 365 licensing can be added to your plan.
LET’S TALK
Bring us a licensing question, an account change, a recurring application problem, or a system you’re thinking of moving to Azure.
You don’t need to have the whole problem worked out before contacting us. Describe what you need help with, and we’ll work out whether it calls for an account or settings change, application support, or a larger cloud project.
