Managed Microsoft 365
Email, Teams, SharePoint, security, backup and support, properly set up, managed and protected by ECS, with flexible monthly licensing so you only pay for what you need.
Email, files, identity and security managed properly
Microsoft 365 is often the centre of how a business works. ECS helps you set it up, migrate into it, secure it, back it up and support users day to day.
Whether you are moving from Google Workspace, old Exchange, IMAP, another Microsoft tenant or an on-premise setup, we make the move structured and practical.
A clearer way to move into Microsoft 365
We plan the move before anything changes, so email, files, users, permissions and security settings are handled in the right order.
Review your current setup
We look at email, files, users, domains, devices, permissions and licensing before recommending the best route.
Plan the migration
We map mailboxes, shared mailboxes, data locations, SharePoint structure and access requirements before moving users.
Move data safely
We migrate email, calendars, contacts and files from Google Workspace, Exchange, IMAP or other Microsoft tenants.
Secure and support it
We configure access, MFA, security defaults, backup and ongoing support so Microsoft 365 stays reliable after go-live.
SharePoint set up around how your team actually works
SharePoint is powerful, but it needs structure. We help design document libraries, access groups and permissions so staff can collaborate without creating a messy file system.
The aim is simple: people should be able to find what they need, work together properly, and only access the files they are meant to see.
What we help with
- Document libraries and folder structure
- Team and department access permissions
- SharePoint and Teams file management
- OneDrive setup and user guidance
- Secure sharing controls
- Permissions reviews for sensitive data
Centralised logins with stronger account protection
Centralised user identity and access management.
Multi-factor authentication to reduce account compromise risk.
Sensible Microsoft security settings applied from the start.
Cleaner user setup, removal and access control.
Not sure if Microsoft 365 is set up properly?
We can review your licences, security settings, SharePoint structure, backup, and user access to highlight what needs tightening.
Security built into the way Microsoft 365 is managed
Microsoft 365 security is not just about switching on MFA. ECS helps configure, monitor and maintain the controls that reduce common risks such as compromised accounts, phishing, suspicious sign-ins and poor access management.
MFA and secure access
Account protection, security defaults and stronger sign-in controls.
Advanced email protection
Anti-spam and anti-phishing settings to reduce common email threats.
365 threat monitoring
Suspicious activity monitoring with MDR SOC support where required.
Response and remediation
Support with disabling accounts, investigation and recovery actions.
Microsoft keeps the platform running. That is not the same as business backup.
Microsoft 365 includes platform resilience, but many businesses still need dedicated backup for accidental deletion, retention, recovery and long-term data protection.
ECS can provide Microsoft 365 backup with up to 7-year retention across Exchange, SharePoint, OneDrive and Teams.
Backup can cover
- Exchange email and mailboxes
- SharePoint document libraries
- OneDrive user files
- Teams data
- Longer retention requirements
- Recovery after deletion or data loss
Flexible Microsoft 365 licensing without unnecessary waste
We supply Microsoft 365 licensing monthly, helping you avoid unused licences, annual overage and unnecessary spend.
Business Premium recommended
Where possible, we recommend Business Premium as the minimum because it includes stronger security and management features.
Business Standard where suitable
Business Standard can still be used where appropriate, with security bolt-ons added where needed.
Monthly licence control
Licences can be added, removed or switched more easily, helping keep spend aligned with real usage.
Non-profit licensing support
For eligible non-profits, ECS can help set up access to subsidised Microsoft licensing.
Support added separately, so you only pay for what you need
Microsoft 365 support can be added separately from licensing, so customers are not forced to overpay for users or services that do not need full support.

Microsoft 365 questions we are often asked
Can ECS migrate us from Google Workspace to Microsoft 365?
Yes. We can migrate email, calendars, contacts and files, then help configure Microsoft 365, SharePoint, Teams, security and backup properly.
Do we need Microsoft 365 backup?
For many businesses, yes. Microsoft keeps the platform resilient, but dedicated backup helps protect against deletion, retention gaps and recovery issues across Exchange, SharePoint, OneDrive and Teams.
Can you help reduce Microsoft 365 licence waste?
Yes. We manage licensing monthly and help identify unused, incorrect or duplicated licences so your spend stays under control.
Is Business Premium always required?
Business Premium is our recommended minimum where possible because of the security and management features included. Where Business Standard is more suitable, we can advise on extra security controls.
Can ECS support small Microsoft 365 setups?
Yes. We support small setups through to larger environments, with licensing, setup, support, security, SharePoint and backup scaled to what the business actually needs.
Need Microsoft 365 to work better for your business?
ECS can review your current setup, tighten security, improve licensing, structure SharePoint and support your users day to day.
