Why Your Small Business Needs Professional Microsoft 365 Support

How can you get the most out of your Microsoft 365 subscription, and what happens if you don’t have support?

Imagine this: It's Monday morning, and your team can't access their emails. Client documents aren't syncing. Teams meetings are frozen. Your entire business grinds to a halt because of Microsoft 365 issues. For many small businesses, this is a common scenario.

That’s not to say that Microsoft 365 services aren’t worth it. We've seen efficiency improvements from organizations that use Microsoft 365. Forrester found that end users are 3% more productive with Teams, OneDrive, SharePoint, and Microsoft 365 apps. They also found that employees save 30 minutes per week on cloud file storage and an additional 30 minutes per week on collaboration tools.

Unfortunately, many small businesses don’t have the personnel to get the most out of their subscription, which is where hiring professionals like us can help.

Let’s explore where your business may be missing out.

Microsoft 365 Management – Don’t Go It Alone

When small businesses try to manage Microsoft 365 themselves, the costs add up quickly and the results could be a less secure environment. Few small businesses have a dedicated IT employee, much less an internal IT team. Your critical communications and business files that reside in the Microsoft cloud are at increased risk in today’s cybersecurity threat landscape. An incident where an account is compromised and is sending out phishing emails that appear to be coming from your business is hurtful to your hard-earned reputation.

What Can Go Wrong Without Professional Support?

Daily operations can be disrupted by numerous issues that plague businesses without proper IT support, such as:

  • Sudden email outages
  • Deleted emails or documents
  • OneDrive & SharePoint sync failures
  • Teams meeting disruptions
  • Password and access problems
  • Integration issues with other software

Security Risks of Improper Microsoft 365 Management The days of Microsoft 365 being used out-of-the-box without properly security implementation are over.  When Microsoft 365 isn't properly managed, your business becomes vulnerable. Cybercriminals target small businesses that have weak security including lack of MFA and improperly configured Microsoft 365 & Azure settings. How much is your data worth?
