FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions About Microsoft 365 Services in New Orleans
Do we really need Microsoft 365 Business Premium or can we use Standard?
Business Standard ($12.50/user/month) gets you email, Office apps, Teams, SharePoint. Business Premium ($22/user/month) adds: Intune (mobile device management), Azure AD Premium (conditional access, MFA enforcement), Defender for Business (EDR endpoint protection), Information Protection (data classification). For any business handling regulated data, payments, or sensitive client info, the $9.50/user/month upgrade is one of the highest-ROI security investments available.
How long does a Microsoft 365 migration from another email system take?
From Google Workspace, Exchange on-premise, or another provider: typically 4–8 weeks for a 25-person business. Steps: (1) tenant provisioning + domain verification. (2) user account migration. (3) mailbox + calendar + contacts data migration (we use Microsoft's Migration Manager or third-party tools depending on source). (4) cutover weekend. (5) user training + transition support. We can do faster (1–2 weeks) for very small businesses with simpler setups.
Will our existing Outlook .pst files and historical email transfer correctly?
Yes, with proper migration. We import .pst files into target mailboxes, validate message counts, attachment integrity, calendar event preservation, and contact data. Historical email retention is a common requirement (especially for regulated industries) — we ensure nothing is lost during migration.
How do you set up email security (SPF, DKIM, DMARC) on Microsoft 365?
All three are required for proper email authentication and to prevent attackers from spoofing your domain. SPF: lists authorized sending IPs in DNS. DKIM: cryptographically signs outgoing email so receivers can verify it. DMARC: tells receiving servers what to do when SPF or DKIM fails. We configure all three correctly, set DMARC to reject (not just monitor), and verify with tools like MXToolbox. Our typical setup hits 100% on email auth checks.
Can you help us roll out Microsoft Teams as our primary communication platform?
Yes. We handle the technical rollout (channel structure, permissions, external collaboration policies, meeting recording compliance) and the people side (training, governance policies, transition from legacy tools like Slack/Zoom if needed). Teams done right increases productivity; Teams done poorly creates chaos. The deployment matters more than the tool.
What's the right SharePoint structure for a small business — sites, libraries, permissions?
Depends on your structure. Typical pattern for a 20-person professional services firm: 1 communication site for company-wide content, 1 hub site that links departmental team sites, per-department team sites with role-based permissions, document libraries with metadata for searchability, retention policies on regulated content. We design this with you rather than auto-generating a structure that doesn't fit your business.
How do you handle ex-employee accounts in Microsoft 365 — do you delete them immediately?
Standard pattern: at termination, disable account immediately (login disabled), reset password, convert mailbox to shared mailbox so manager can access it during transition, forward incoming email to manager for 30–90 days, archive content per retention policy, then delete after retention period. We document this process so you have a defensible offboarding workflow — important for legal and audit purposes.
Will Copilot for Microsoft 365 actually help our business or is it hype?
Mixed. Copilot ($30/user/month on top of M365) has real productivity gains in specific workflows: summarizing long email threads, drafting initial document content, building Excel formulas, generating PowerPoint outlines. Less useful for: highly specialized tasks, anything requiring current factual accuracy, anything sensitive (data goes to Microsoft's infrastructure). We help clients pilot Copilot with a small group first to assess actual ROI before broader rollout.
