Start from the problem, not the SKU

Nobody wakes up wanting to buy a licence. These are the five situations that bring people to BOXX, and exactly what we put in front of them.

Situation 01

You are standing up a new company

Ten to fifty people, no IT department, and you need email on your own domain, file storage that will not lose anything, and enough security that a customer's due-diligence questionnaire does not stop the deal.

  • Microsoft 365 Business Premium — Office, email, Teams, device management and Defender in one licence.
  • Free domain and tenant setup — DNS, SPF, DKIM, DMARC configured correctly the first time.
  • Baseline security applied on day one — MFA enforced, legacy authentication disabled, conditional access in place.
  • Windows 365 Cloud PCs if you would rather not buy and manage laptops at all.

What moves
  • Gmail → Exchange Online, full history and folder structure preserved.
  • Google Drive → OneDrive & SharePoint, with sharing permissions mapped.
  • Google Calendar & Contacts, including shared and resource calendars.
  • Groups → Microsoft 365 Groups and Teams, membership intact.
  • Cutover out of hours, with a two-week hypercare window afterwards.
Situation 02

You are leaving Google Workspace

Usually because the finance team lives in Excel, because Teams became the standard with your customers, or because Google's price went up too. The migration is the part that scares people — so BOXX does it, and does not charge for it on a standard tenant move.

We run a pilot group first, confirm mail flow and permissions, then move everyone in one out-of-hours window. Users keep their addresses. Nothing is deleted at the source until you sign off.

Plan the migration
Situation 03

A customer sent you a security questionnaire

Enterprise buyers, insurers and auditors now ask for MFA everywhere, endpoint detection, data loss prevention, logging and a documented access review. Answering honestly usually means changing something first.

  • Tenant hardening sprint — two weeks, fixed price, ends with a written baseline you can attach to the questionnaire.
  • Entra ID P1 or P2 for conditional access, privileged identity management and access reviews.
  • Defender for Endpoint P2 for the EDR line item every questionnaire asks about.
  • Purview for retention, DLP and eDiscovery when the contract demands it.

Situation 04

Finance asked why cloud spend keeps rising

In almost every tenant we audit, the discount is the smaller half of the saving. The larger half is licences nobody uses and Azure resources nobody owns.

The audit is free for organisations over 25 seats, takes three business days, and you get the written findings whether or not you ever buy from us. We would rather earn the relationship than trap it.

Situation 05

You have outgrown small-business licensing

Microsoft 365 Business plans stop at 300 users, and somewhere around 150 seats the compliance, identity and analytics requirements change shape. Moving to E3 or E5 is not just a bigger number — it is a different licensing model.

  • Mixed-tier design. Very few organisations need E5 for everyone. We usually land on E3 broadly with E5 or targeted add-ons for the roles that need them.
  • Frontline licensing. F1 and F3 for shift and field staff cuts per-head cost by 60–80% versus giving everyone E3.
  • Dynamics 365 and Power Platform once your processes leave spreadsheets.
  • Enterprise Agreement comparison. If an EA genuinely beats CSP for you at your size, we will show you the maths and say so.
