Microsoft 365
Your Microsoft 365 licence is not the problem. How it is managed is.
ITried helps businesses choose, secure, migrate, and manage Microsoft 365 with the right plan, email authentication, MFA, Defender, Intune, Entra ID, Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive, and Copilot readiness.
Which Microsoft 365 plan should a business choose?
For most SMEs, the decision comes down to email, desktop apps, security, device management, and whether the environment is ready for Microsoft 365 Copilot.
Choose Business Basic when you need cloud email and Teams
Best when users mainly work in the browser or mobile apps and need Exchange Online, Teams, SharePoint, and OneDrive without desktop Office apps.
Choose Business Standard when users need desktop Office apps
Best when users need installed Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, plus the collaboration services from Business Basic.
Choose Business Premium when security and devices matter
Best when you need Defender for Business, Intune device management, and stronger identity controls around company data.
Add Microsoft 365 Copilot only after readiness checks
Copilot value depends on the right license, Exchange Online mailboxes, clean permissions, useful SharePoint/OneDrive data, and admin controls.
Microsoft 365 plans are the starting point, not the finish line
Pick a base plan and then secure the tenant, mail flow, devices, users, sharing, and AI readiness around how the business actually works.

Microsoft 365 Copilot
Copilot works best after licensing, data, and access are ready
ITried can help you separate free Copilot Chat, eligible Microsoft 365 business subscriptions, and Microsoft 365 Copilot add-on licensing. We also check whether your tenant has the email, identity, document, Teams, and security foundations needed for useful AI output.
What ITried handles during Microsoft 365 onboarding
The licence is only one part of the work. We focus on the setup details that prevent downtime, confusion, oversharing, spoofing, and security gaps.
| Area | What we check or configure | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Domain and DNS | MX, SPF, DKIM, DMARC, autodiscover, and existing provider records. | Prevents mail disruption and improves deliverability. |
| Users and mailboxes | Users, aliases, shared mailboxes, groups, migration batches, and cutover timing. | Helps people keep working during the move. |
| Security baseline | MFA, admin roles, conditional access, Defender, Intune, and device compliance. | Reduces account takeover and unmanaged-device risk. |
| Teams and files | Teams structure, SharePoint sites, OneDrive sync, permissions, and external sharing. | Keeps collaboration usable without exposing data unnecessarily. |
| Copilot readiness | License eligibility, Exchange Online, data permissions, governance, and rollout plan. | Improves AI output quality and protects sensitive company data. |
