Cloud workplace

← All digital transformation services

Email, files and meetings in Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, set up securely and easy to use.

What it is

A cloud workplace puts your email, files, calendars and meetings online, so your team can work from anywhere and always find the latest version.

We set up Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, move your email and files across, tidy up permissions and switch on the security settings that matter.

Who it’s for

Businesses with files on laptops and old servers, teams using personal email accounts, and anyone moving between Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace.

What’s included

  • Review: your accounts, devices, files and how your team works together.
  • Set-up: accounts, shared drives, calendars and groups.
  • Migration: email, files and calendars moved with as little disruption as possible.
  • Security: multi-factor sign-in, sharing rules and admin access set up properly. See Cyber security.
  • Devices: laptops and phones connected and managed. We set up device management with Microsoft Intune or Google Workspace, so lost or stolen devices can be locked and wiped.
  • Training: how to share, find and work on files together.

What you get

  • A cloud workplace, set up and secured
  • Email, files and calendars moved across
  • A simple folder and permissions structure
  • Training and a short how-to guide
  • 30 days of support after launch to fix anything that isn’t right

What we measure

  • Accounts with multi-factor sign-in
  • Files stored outside the shared drives
  • Time to find a document
  • Support requests
  • Licences paid for versus used

Done properly

UK GDPR requires you to keep personal data secure. We switch on multi-factor sign-in, set sensible sharing rules and limit admin access. These also cover much of what Cyber Essentials checks. See Cyber security.

Questions

Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace?

Both work well. Microsoft 365 suits teams that live in Word, Excel and Outlook. Google Workspace suits teams that prefer working in the browser. We recommend one in the audit, and explain why.

Will we lose email during the move?

We plan the switch carefully and move your old email across, so day-to-day disruption is kept as low as possible.

Can you look after it afterwards?

Yes, on a monthly support plan. It covers adding and removing users, security updates and checks, and help for your team when something isn’t working.

Do you supply the licences?

No. You buy the licences for Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace directly and hold them in your own account. We don’t resell them, but we help you choose the right ones.

Pricing: bigger projects start with a fixed-price discovery from £1,500 + VAT. Projects from £2,500 + VAT, with the scope and price agreed upfront. Support from £250 + VAT a month. Every project starts with a free audit.
