Why Toronto Businesses Choose BA Consulting for Microsoft 365 Support

Microsoft 365 support is not just fixing what breaks. It is designing an environment that matches how your team actually works, then keeping it that way as Microsoft changes things underneath you. Toronto businesses choose BA Consulting because we combine real Microsoft expertise with a level of accountability that is hard to get from a national call center.

• Microsoft Partner and CompTIA Security+ certified, so the people configuring your environment are verified, not just experienced
• 500+ GTA businesses currently supported, many of them for years at a time
• Toronto based since 2006, with technicians who can be onsite the same day for anything urgent

Our Microsoft 365 Support Services

We handle the move to Microsoft 365 for businesses coming from an old onsite server, Google Workspace, or a Microsoft 365 tenant that was never set up properly. Our migration and setup work covers:

• Mailbox, calendar, and file migration, with a pilot group tested before the full cutover

• Teams, SharePoint, and OneDrive configuration built around how your departments actually share files

• Setup and account configuration for new offices and new hires across Toronto, Brampton, Mississauga, Vaughan, and Markham

• Ongoing monitoring and support once the migration is done, not a handoff to someone else

Whether you are moving off an aging server or fixing a setup that was rushed the first time, we confirm every mailbox and shared file arrived intact before we call it finished.

Microsoft Azure Migrations and Support

Some Toronto businesses need more than Microsoft 365. If your team runs virtual machines, hybrid identity, or line of business applications that belong in the cloud rather than on an aging server, we support that too:

• Azure migration planning for workloads moving off physical servers

• Virtual machines, storage, and networking configured for how your applications actually run

• Backup and disaster recovery built into the Azure environment from day one

• Ongoing cost management so your Azure bill matches what you are actually using

We manage Azure alongside your Microsoft 365 environment, so one Microsoft Partner is responsible for both instead of two vendors pointing at each other.

Microsoft 365 Security

Microsoft 365 comes with strong security tools, but only if someone configures and monitors them. As part of our Microsoft 365 support, we manage:

• Multifactor authentication and conditional access policies

• Microsoft Defender for Office 365 and endpoint protection

• Email filtering and phishing protection

• Compliance settings aligned to PIPEDA for regulated clients in law, healthcare, and financial services

We build security in from the setup stage rather than adding it after something goes wrong. If you want a clear picture of where your current environment stands, ask about a Microsoft 365 security assessment when you call.

Microsoft 365 Licensing and Cost Management

License costs on Microsoft 365 climb quietly when nobody reviews them. We handle:

• An annual review of your license mix across Business Basic, Business Standard, Business Premium, and E3 or E5

• Removing unused seats and correcting mismatched license tiers

• Matching license tiers to what each employee actually needs, not a default assignment

• Flagging when Copilot or other add ons are worth the cost for your team

A clean license setup makes every other part of your Microsoft 365 environment, including Copilot, work better.

 Microsoft Copilot Setup, Integration, and Training

Copilot is only useful if your team knows where it fits and your data is safe to use it on. We provide:

• SharePoint and OneDrive permission cleanup before rollout, so Copilot is not surfacing files it should not

• Licensing guidance on which Copilot plan actually matches your team size and use case

• Hands on training so staff know where Copilot helps in Outlook, Teams, and Word rather than guessin

• Usage guidelines that keep sensitive data out of prompts your organization has not approved

We treat Copilot as a tool that needs setup and training, not a switch you flip on and hope for the best.
