Common Questions
What's the difference between Microsoft 365 Business Basic, Standard, and Premium?
Business Basic ($6/user/month) includes web/mobile apps only. Business Standard ($12.50/user/month) adds desktop Office applications. Business Premium ($22/user/month) includes everything plus advanced security features. We help you choose the right plan for your needs.
Can you migrate our email from Gmail or another provider?
Yes! We specialize in email migrations from Gmail, GoDaddy, other Microsoft 365 tenants, and on-premise Exchange servers. Migrations are typically completed within 1-3 days with zero data loss and minimal disruption.
Do we need to buy new equipment?
No. Microsoft 365 works on your existing computers, whether they're PCs or Macs. You can even access everything from phones and tablets. We'll verify compatibility during our assessment.
What if we already have Microsoft 365 but need help managing it?
Perfect! Many businesses have Microsoft 365 but aren't using it effectively. We can take over management, optimize your licenses, implement security best practices, and train your team on features you're missing.
Is our data secure in the cloud?
Yes. Microsoft 365 offers enterprise-grade security including encrypted data storage, multi-factor authentication, advanced threat protection, and compliance with major standards (HIPAA, GDPR, etc.). We configure security settings properly from day one.
What happens if Microsoft's servers go down?
Microsoft guarantees 99.9% uptime (less than 9 hours downtime per year). In practice, Microsoft 365 is more reliable than most on-premise email servers. If there is an outage, you can still access files offline on your computer.
