Migrations, governance, licensing, and ongoing management of your Microsoft environment - from 365 to Azure, Teams Phone to Intune. Microsoft-first from the ground up.
Migration is the start. Governance, licensing, and ongoing management is where most cloud projects fall short.
Structured migration from on-prem Exchange, file servers, and legacy systems. Minimal disruption. Staff ready from day one.
Teams deployment, meeting room integration, Teams Phone, and channel architecture - making remote and hybrid work actually work.
VM deployment, virtual networking, Azure Arc, and hybrid identity - designed around your workloads, not default templates.
Security baseline, conditional access, licence optimisation, and ongoing compliance monitoring of your Microsoft tenant.
Your Microsoft 365 data - email, SharePoint, Teams - backed up separately to immutable storage. Microsoft doesn't do this for you. Why separate backup matters →
Azure AD / Entra ID configuration, MFA rollout, SSO, and conditional access policies - the foundation of your security posture.
The uncomfortable truth about cloud projects. Most Microsoft 365 migrations succeed. What fails is what follows - tenants that pass go-live and then quietly rot: licences nobody reviews, sharing settings nobody owns, admin accounts that outlive their admins. "Successfully migrated, quietly ungoverned" is the state most SMB tenants are actually in. It's why governance isn't our optional aftercare - it's the half of the job most providers skip.
Most SMBs sit on Microsoft 365 Business Standard - Office, email, Teams - while the security capability they're missing sits one licence step away. Business Premium adds managed device control, advanced threat protection, conditional access and information protection: the foundations our Managed Security platform builds on, and most of what Cyber Essentials asks about, already in the licence.
When we review a tenant, licensing is part of the conversation - what you're paying for and not using, and what you're missing that you already half-pay for. See what we build on top →
Audit your current environment - what exists, what depends on what, and what can't move until something else does first.
Tenant architecture, migration sequence, and go-live plan. Agreed and signed off before any data moves.
Phased cutover with tested rollback. Parallel running where needed. Staff communication and training included.
Post-migration licensing review, security baseline, and ongoing management. Not deploy-and-walk-away.
"dataplanet successfully completed a cloud migration for us - alongside improving our network security and deploying a new backup solution. Moving away from our ageing on-premise systems significantly improved our resilience, data protection, and security posture. Staff felt confident using SharePoint and Microsoft Teams Phone from day one."Firm Manager - Churchill Wealth Management
