Microsoft 365 for businesses in Northampton - professional services, finance, distribution and logistics - delivered from our base a short drive away in Rushden.
Northampton is the county's largest business base by some distance, and the mix reflects it: professional services and finance in and around the town centre, a substantial distribution and logistics presence on the estates that ring the town, and a long tail of smaller firms that grew out of both.
That variety is the reason we do not sell one package here. A forty-person professional practice and a warehouse operation with a handful of office staff and a lot of floor space need very different things, and the honest starting point is to look at which you are before quoting anything.
Northampton's professional firms are document-heavy businesses, and that makes the Microsoft 365 questions different here. Where files live, who can reach them, what happens when a matter closes and how quickly a leaver loses access are not IT housekeeping for a practice - they are the things a client or a regulator may eventually ask about.
Retention is the other question that catches professional firms out. Deleting a mailbox when someone leaves feels like good housekeeping until a query arrives two years later about a matter they handled. There are proper ways to retain that content without paying for a licence indefinitely, and very few businesses have them configured.
Everything below is part of the service in Northampton, not a list of optional extras priced separately.
From an older Exchange server, POP or IMAP mailboxes, or another provider, with mail, calendars and contacts moved across and the cutover planned so nothing arrives in a mailbox nobody is watching.
Set up with a structure that matches how the business actually works, so it does not become a sprawl of half-abandoned channels in which nothing can be found six months later.
Company files moved off ageing file servers and individual laptops into somewhere backed up, searchable and reachable from anywhere, with permissions that reflect who should actually see what.
Multi-factor authentication, conditional access, anti-phishing policies and external sharing controls. These are the settings that decide whether a stolen password becomes an incident or a non-event.
The right plan for each role rather than the most expensive one for everybody - including finding licences still being paid for months after someone left. Any saving lands on your bill, not ours.
Microsoft guarantees its service, not your content. Recovering data that has been deleted, overwritten or encrypted is your responsibility, and the built-in retention is shorter than most people assume.
We inherit tenants regularly, and they commonly arrive with MFA disabled, sharing wide open, orphaned accounts still licensed and no backup. We audit first and tell you what we found before changing anything.
The ordinary things: a mailbox that will not sync, a shared calendar nobody can see, a file somebody deleted last Tuesday. Handled as part of the service rather than billed by the incident.
Northampton is a straightforward run from our base in Rushden, so an on-site visit is a normal part of the working day rather than something scheduled around a long drive. Our trading address is Rushden, Northamptonshire.
