People still say Office 365. The product family is Microsoft 365, and it is more than Word, Excel, and Outlook. It is email, identity, Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive, security baselines, and the admin plane that keeps a modern business running. Cross Platform is a Microsoft Cloud Solution Provider (CSP). We can sell the full Microsoft 365 portfolio and stay with you through design, migration, deployment, and the months after go-live when the real questions start.
That matters whether you are a one-person consultancy that needs a professional mailbox and calendar, or a multi-site company with hundreds of users, conditional access, and device policy that cannot be left to chance.
Why Microsoft 365, and why a CSP
Microsoft 365 is the default collaboration stack for a huge share of businesses. Exchange Online for mail, Teams for meetings and chat, SharePoint and OneDrive for files, Entra ID for identity, and Defender and compliance tooling when you are ready to harden. Plans scale from Business Basic and Business Standard for smaller teams through to Enterprise E3 and E5 when security, compliance, and advanced analytics become part of the brief.
Buying licences on a credit card can work for a trial. It falls short when you need proper tenant design, a clean migration, billing that matches how your business buys, and a partner who already knows your wider stack. As a CSP we license through authorised Microsoft channels, recommend the right mix of seats and add-ons, and keep renewals and expansions under one relationship instead of a tangle of self-serve subscriptions.
What we actually deliver
Licensing is the starting line. The work that protects your week is implementation done carefully.
We help you choose plans that match how people work, not a spreadsheet of features you will never open. We stand up or tidy the Microsoft 365 tenant, domains, DNS, and identity so mail flows and sign-in feels intentional. Migrations from Google Workspace, on-premises Exchange, other Microsoft tenants, or a patchwork of consumer mailboxes are planned with cutover windows, mailbox mapping, and clear communication for staff. Deployment covers Outlook profiles, Teams readiness, SharePoint and OneDrive structure, and the security defaults that stop a new tenant becoming an open door.
For larger environments that extends into device enrolment, conditional access, multi-factor authentication that people will actually use, and documentation your internal IT or finance team can live with. For a solo operator it can be as focused as a branded domain, calendar, and Teams meetings that just work.
From one desk to hundreds of seats
A one-person business usually needs credibility and calm: you@yourcompany.com, shared calendars with clients, and files that are not trapped on a single laptop. Microsoft 365 Business plans fit that well when they are set up once and explained clearly.
Growing teams need shared mailboxes, distribution groups, Teams channels that match real departments, and storage policies that do not surprise anyone at month six. Enterprises and larger mid-market organisations need identity hygiene, role-based admin, migration waves instead of a single risky weekend, and a partner who can talk to both the board pack and the helpdesk queue.
We work across that range on purpose. Same CSP channel. Same delivery discipline. Different depth depending on how complex your world already is.
A practical path to go live
Tell us how many people you have, what you run today, and what cannot break on cutover day. We propose a licence mix, map the migration, prepare DNS and identity, move mail and files with downtime kept honest and small, then hand over admin access with a short enablement session so your team knows where things live.
After go-live we stay available for new seats, plan changes, security tightening, and the next Microsoft workload when you are ready. Microsoft 365 should feel like infrastructure: dependable, supportable, and aligned with how your business actually works.
If you want Microsoft 365 licensed properly and implemented without drama, talk to Cross Platform. We sell the licences and we do the work around them.
