Already on Microsoft 365 and just need it run?
Setup is a one-off project. Day-to-day administration, licensing and user support is an ongoing contract, and the two are priced differently.
Microsoft 365 Setup Dubai
Microsoft 365 is more than email. A properly deployed tenant includes: email with custom domain, Teams for communication and collaboration, SharePoint for shared file storage, OneDrive for individual cloud storage, and a security baseline covering MFA, Conditional Access, and Microsoft Defender. Most businesses set up only email and miss the rest — losing the value they are already paying for.
Migration is the riskiest part. Cutting over email without a tested rollback plan, migrating data without verifying integrity, or misconfiguring SPF/DKIM/DMARC records causes email deliverability issues that persist for weeks. We follow a structured migration checklist — parallel running, verified data migration, cutover outside business hours, and DNS changes done correctly the first time.
Azizi Technologies has been managing Microsoft 365 tenants in Dubai since the product launched. We manage Microsoft 365 for DIFC financial firms, DHCC medical clinics, retail groups and professional services firms. Our 4.9★ rating includes many clients who came to us after a failed self-managed migration.
No mail lost
The only measure a migration is really judged by. Cutover runs outside working hours.
MFA at setup
Enforced with conditional access on day one, because retrofitting it later is disruptive.
Licensing right-sized
To what you use. Shared mailboxes are free and are usually the correct answer.
Verified account by account
Mailboxes, archives and calendars checked rather than assumed to have moved.
What M365 setup covers
Every component configured correctly. No orphaned settings, no security gaps.
Email, contacts and calendar migrated from Google Workspace, Exchange, Zoho or hosted email. Zero permanent data loss. Cutover outside business hours.
Teams channels, meetings, and phone system configured. Guest access policies, meeting rooms and direct routing set up for your organisation.
SharePoint team sites created with correct permission structure. OneDrive sync configured on all devices. Legacy file share migrated.
MFA for all accounts, Conditional Access policies, Microsoft Defender for Business, DKIM/DMARC/SPF for email security. Essential for any regulated industry.
Custom domain verified, MX, CNAME and TXT records configured correctly. No email downtime during cutover.
Microsoft Intune MDM for company devices (optional). Autopilot deployment for Windows. Mobile device policies for iOS/Android.
One-hour Teams and M365 orientation for staff. Quick reference guide for common tasks. Ongoing support via your IT AMC or managed IT plan.
Monthly licence management, user provisioning, email troubleshooting, security review and Teams administration included in IT AMC and managed IT plans.
Managed migration vs doing it yourself
Microsoft will happily sell you the licences. What it does not do is move your mail, files and identities without breaking anything along the way.
| Azizi migration | Doing it in-house | |
|---|---|---|
| Mail during cutover | No gap; delivery continues throughout | Hours of bounced or delayed mail |
| Historic email | Fully migrated, archives included | Often only recent mail survives |
| Shared mailboxes | Set up free where appropriate | Licensed unnecessarily |
| MFA | Enforced at setup with conditional access | Deferred, then never done |
| Files | SharePoint structure planned before moving | Shared drive dumped into OneDrive |
| Licensing | Sized to actual use | Over-bought to be safe |
| If it goes wrong | Rollback path agreed in advance | Improvised at 2am |
How a migration runs
What you own, what you actually use, and what the migration genuinely needs. Clients frequently hold licences nobody has ever signed into.
Mail, files and identities mapped, the cutover scheduled outside working hours, and a rollback path agreed before anything moves.
Mailboxes, archives, shared mailboxes, calendars and files moved, then checked account by account rather than assumed to have worked.
MFA and conditional access enforced, Intune enrolment where wanted, and joiner-mover-leaver written down so the process outlives us.

Vendor neutral
Named, because these are the choices you inherit. A provider who will not tell you what they configured has usually left the defaults in place.
Microsoft 365 and Exchange Online
Tenant configuration, mail flow, retention and archiving. Solution Partner, which matters mainly for escalation when something behaves oddly.
Entra ID and conditional access
Identity is the real security boundary now. MFA and conditional access are configured at setup rather than promised for later.
SharePoint and OneDrive
File structure planned before migration, because a flat dump of a shared drive becomes a permissions problem you inherit forever.
Intune device management
Enrolment, policy and remote wipe for laptops that never come into an office.
Purpose-built migration tooling
Rather than PST exports, so archives, calendar permissions and delegate access survive the move.
Defender for Office 365
Frequently already included in the licence you hold, and almost as frequently switched off.
Finding us
We work from Concord Tower in Dubai Media City and the IT Center Building in Bur Dubai. Migration work is largely remote, and the cutover itself is deliberately scheduled outside your working hours.
Being local matters on the morning after. If a laptop will not sign in at 8am, someone can be in front of it rather than opening a ticket and waiting.
Businesses moving off an on-premise Exchange server, off Google Workspace, or off a hosting-company mail service that has quietly become a liability nobody wants to touch.
Two weeks of close support while the odd cases surface, then either a documented handover or an ongoing AMC if you would rather we kept running it.
