What Microsoft 365 Does for Your Business
Six ways a properly configured Microsoft 365 subscription makes your business run better every day.
Professional Email
Send emails from you@yourbusiness.ie — not a personal Gmail. Instantly builds credibility and trust with every client you contact.
Cloud File Storage
All your files in one secure, organised place. Access quotes, invoices, and photos from any device — no more USB sticks or lost attachments.
Team Collaboration
Microsoft Teams lets your team chat, share files, and join video calls — whether they're in the office, on-site, or working from home.
Shared Calendars
Everyone sees the same schedule. Book meetings, set reminders, and share availability without endless back-and-forth messages.
Work from Anywhere
Whether your team is in the office, on a job, or at home — they can access everything they need securely from any device.
Expert Setup & Support
I configure everything correctly from day one — including security policies, MFA, and migration of existing emails — so you're protected and productive immediately.
Who This Is For
Tradespeople & Contractors
You need a professional email address and a simple way to share quotes, invoices, and site photos — not a personal Gmail.
Small Offices & Teams
You have 2–20 staff and need email, shared calendars, and file storage that everyone can access without IT headaches.
Professional Services
Accountants, solicitors, consultants — you handle sensitive client data and need proper security, not consumer-grade email.
Growing Businesses
You've outgrown free email and ad-hoc file sharing. You need a system that scales as you hire.
What the Features Actually Mean for You
Microsoft 365 has a lot of features. Here's what the key ones do in plain English.

| OneDrive | Personal cloud storage — access your files from any device, never lose them again |

Licensing & Subscription Advice
I recommend the right Microsoft 365 plan for your needs — no upselling, no unnecessary features you'll never use.

Email Migration
Safe migration from POP/IMAP, Gmail, or legacy Exchange — zero data loss, minimal downtime, and clear communication throughout. Your old emails, contacts, and calendar entries come with you.
Worried About Migrating Your Existing Email?
Moving to Microsoft 365 from Gmail, a personal email account, or an older system can sound daunting — but it doesn't have to be. I've migrated dozens of businesses without a single lost email.
I plan every migration carefully, run it in stages if needed, and stay available throughout so any hiccup is fixed immediately. You'll be up and running on your new professional email with everything intact.
- All existing emails moved across safely
- Contacts and calendar entries preserved
- Minimal disruption — often done overnight
- Clear communication at every step
- Test run before going live
- I stay available until you're comfortable
Without Professional Setup vs With Professional Setup
Without Professional Setup
- Free email addresses that look unprofessional to clients
- Files scattered across USB sticks, personal laptops, and email attachments
- No security — one phishing email could compromise everything
- Staff can't access what they need when working remotely
- Paying for licences you don't need or missing features you do
- Hours wasted troubleshooting problems you shouldn't have
With Professional Setup
- Professional you@yourbusiness.ie email that builds client trust
- All files in one secure, organised cloud — accessible from any device
- MFA and security policies protecting your data from day one
- Staff can collaborate seamlessly whether in the office or on-site
- The right plan at the right price — nothing wasted
- Ongoing support so problems get solved quickly by someone who knows your setup
Why Proper Setup Saves You Money
Avoid Costly Mistakes
A misconfigured tenant can lead to data breaches, lost emails, or compliance failures. Getting it right from the start prevents expensive emergency fixes later.
Stop Paying for What You Don't Need
Many businesses are on the wrong Microsoft 365 plan — overpaying for features they'll never use. I match the right plan to your actual needs.
Reduce Downtime & Wasted Hours
When email goes down or files disappear, your business stops. Professional setup means fewer problems, and when issues arise, someone who knows your system can fix them fast.
What Affects the Price
Every business is different, so I quote based on your specific needs. Here's what typically influences the cost:
- Number of users:More mailboxes and licences means a larger setup scope.
- Migration complexity:Moving from Gmail is simpler than migrating a legacy Exchange server with years of data.
- Security requirements:Basic MFA setup vs advanced compliance policies for regulated industries.
- Training needs:A quick walkthrough vs hands-on training sessions for your full team.
- Ongoing support:One-off setup vs monthly support and administration.
Indicative Ranges
- Basic setup (1–5 users)From €250
- Full migration & setup (5–20 users)From €500
- Security hardening add-onFrom €150
- Monthly support & adminFrom €50/mo
These are starting points — I'll give you an exact quote after a free discovery call. Microsoft 365 licence fees are separate and billed directly by Microsoft.
