Overview
Managed Microsoft 365 Business Basic Setup is ITNS-Global's fully managed deployment service for Microsoft 365's entry-tier business plan — delivering a professionally configured, security-hardened Microsoft 365 environment for your organisation, with no internal IT expertise required to set up or maintain.
Microsoft 365 Business Basic provides the essential cloud productivity suite for growing businesses — Exchange Online for professional email, Microsoft Teams for chat and video collaboration, SharePoint Online for document management, and OneDrive for individual cloud storage. At 1 TB per user of OneDrive storage and a 50 GB Exchange mailbox, the Basic plan covers the core collaboration and communication needs of most SMEs at an accessible per-user cost.
However, the value of Microsoft 365 is entirely dependent on how well it is configured. A poorly structured tenant — with ad-hoc user provisioning, missing security defaults, no SharePoint architecture, and no email authentication records — results in low adoption, security exposure, and an environment that frustrates rather than enables teams.
ITNS-Global's MSP setup service eliminates that risk. Our certified Microsoft partner team configures every component of your tenant to best-practice standards — from email deliverability records and MFA enforcement to Teams channel architecture and SharePoint document libraries — so your team inherits a well-structured, secure, and immediately productive environment.
What it includes
Tenant Creation & Domain Verification
Your Microsoft 365 tenant created, named, and configured to your organisation's identity. Custom domain verified and set as the primary domain for all services — Exchange, Teams, and SharePoint all operating under your @yourdomain address from go-live. Microsoft 365 admin centre structured for your organisation's size and IT management approach.
Exchange Online Email Configuration
Exchange Online configured for every user — 50 GB mailboxes provisioned, shared mailboxes and distribution groups created, email signatures deployed via centralised template management, spam filter policies applied, and retention policies configured. DMARC, SPF, and DKIM records published and validated to ensure maximum email deliverability and protection against spoofing from your domain.
Microsoft Teams Setup & Architecture
Microsoft Teams configured to your organisational structure — team and channel architecture built to match departments and working groups, guest access policies set, meeting configuration and recording policies applied, and Teams Phone settings prepared if required. A well-structured Teams environment drives adoption from day one; a poorly organised one sees users abandoning it for email within weeks.
SharePoint Online Document Library
SharePoint Online configured with a structured document library architecture — department sites, shared document libraries, folder hierarchies, naming conventions, version control settings, and permissions aligned to your organisational roles. Teams channels connected to corresponding SharePoint libraries so files shared in Teams are automatically stored and accessible in SharePoint, eliminating document fragmentation.
Security Baseline & MFA Enforcement
Microsoft 365 security defaults enabled and hardened — multi-factor authentication (MFA) enforced for all users, legacy authentication protocols blocked, conditional access baseline policies applied, and admin account protection configured. The Microsoft Secure Score baseline is reviewed and all quick-win improvements implemented as part of the setup, giving your organisation enterprise-grade security from the first day of use.
Email Migration
Mailbox migration from your existing email provider — Google Workspace, cPanel, Zoho Mail, or hosted Exchange — including email history, contacts, and calendar events. Migration performed during a planned cutover window to minimise disruption to ongoing business communication. MX record cutover managed by ITNS-Global with DNS propagation monitoring until all email is routing correctly to Exchange Online.
User Provisioning & Licence Management
All user accounts created, Business Basic licences assigned, display names, job titles, and department attributes configured, and role-based admin permissions established. A documented user provisioning process handed over so your team can add new users following the same standards independently — or ITNS-Global handles ongoing user management under the per-user monthly plan (P.08).
Training & Admin Handover
A structured handover including a 2-hour end-user training session covering Outlook, Teams, OneDrive, and SharePoint fundamentals; a separate admin training session for your IT or operations lead covering user management, licence assignment, and security monitoring; and full written documentation covering your tenant configuration, admin centre navigation, and common management tasks.
What changes for you
5 days
Fully Operational in a Week
Professional email, Teams collaboration, SharePoint document management, and OneDrive storage all live and configured to enterprise standards within 5 days — versus weeks of self-configuration that rarely achieves the same quality of result.
100 %
Security from Day One
MFA enforced, legacy authentication blocked, conditional access baseline active, and email authentication records published before any user logs in. Security is not retrofitted after incidents — it is built into the platform architecture from the first configuration step.
1 TB
Cloud Storage Per User
1 TB OneDrive storage per user, properly configured with sync settings and access permissions — replacing local file storage, USB drives, and consumer cloud tools that create data fragmentation, version control problems, and security exposure.
0 IT
No Internal IT Required
ITNS-Global's MSP team handles the entire deployment — tenant, users, email, Teams, SharePoint, security, migration, and training. No internal IT expertise needed. After handover, admin tasks are straightforward for any designated team member.
↑ adopt
High Adoption from Launch
A well-architected Teams and SharePoint structure that reflects how your team actually works drives immediate adoption. Teams deployed without structure see users reverting to email within weeks; Teams deployed correctly becomes the natural working environment from day one.
↑ M365S
Clear Upgrade to Standard
Business Basic is designed as a starting point. When your team needs desktop Office apps (Word, Excel, PowerPoint installed locally), upgrade to Business Standard (P.09) with zero re-deployment — ITNS-Global simply upgrades the licence tier on existing accounts.

Questions people ask
Are Microsoft licence costs included?
No. The setup fee covers configuration and migration, and the monthly fee covers administration and support. Microsoft licences are billed separately and can be purchased under your own tenant so you retain ownership.
Can you migrate our existing email?
Yes — from Google Workspace, on-premise Exchange, IMAP or another Microsoft tenant. Migration covers mail, calendars and contacts, with a cutover plan designed to avoid downtime.
Which plan should we choose?
Basic suits teams working entirely in the browser. Standard adds desktop Office apps and is the common choice. Premium adds device management, conditional access and advanced threat protection, and is worth it once you have regulated data or staff on personal devices.
What does ongoing administration cover?
User creation and offboarding, licence assignment, mailbox and permission changes, security policy management, incident response, and monthly tenant health reporting.
Is data stored in the EU?
Tenant data residency can be set to the EU at provisioning. It cannot easily be changed afterwards, so it is confirmed before setup begins.
