If your firm uses Microsoft 365, chances are you’re only scratching the surface of what it can do. From Teams to SharePoint, the tools are familiar – but their full capabilities often remain untapped. That’s not just a missed opportunity. It’s untapped value in a tool you’re already paying for.

With the right expertise, Microsoft 365 becomes more than just email and file storage. It can streamline your operations, tighten your security, and free up your team to focus on what really matters: delivering exceptional service to your clients. That’s where managed IT comes in.

The hidden power of Microsoft 365

Microsoft 365 is packed with powerful features that many firms overlook simply because they don’t have the time or in-house knowledge to explore them. The platform is constantly evolving, with new updates and integrations designed to improve productivity, collaboration, and security. But without expert guidance, these tools go unused.

Some of the most commonly underutilised features include:

• Microsoft Teams integrations: Go beyond chat and video calls. Connect Teams with your CRM, finance systems, or task management tools to create streamlined workflows and centralised communication hubs.
• Power Platform (Power Automate, Power BI, Power Apps): Automate repetitive admin tasks, generate real-time business insights, and build custom apps to match your firm’s processes – no coding required.
• Microsoft Defender and compliance tools: Strengthen your cybersecurity with built-in threat detection, endpoint protection, and data loss prevention – ideal for firms with sensitive client data or regulatory obligations.

These tools are already part of your Microsoft 365 subscription. The value is there. But it takes the right partner to help you unlock it.

Why managed expertise makes all the difference

Trying to make sense of M365’s vast ecosystem without expert support is like having a high-performance car and never leaving first gear. You might get where you’re going, but it won’t be smooth – and you’ll miss out on everything that makes the experience worth it.

A managed IT provider like Support Stack takes the complexity out of Microsoft 365. We help your firm:

• Identify which features and tools are relevant to your business goals
• Configure them correctly and securely
• Train your staff so adoption sticks
• Continuously review and optimise usage over time

All of this means your team spends less time tinkering with tech, and more time doing what they do best.

Security that works quietly in the background

Cybersecurity is no longer optional – especially in professional services. If your clients trust you with sensitive data, then it’s your responsibility to ensure it’s protected. Microsoft 365 includes enterprise-grade security features, but they’re only effective if they’re set up and maintained properly.

With managed IT, you benefit from:

• 24/7 monitoring and threat detection
• Regular patching and updates
• Proactive risk mitigation and compliance support

It’s the peace of mind that comes from knowing your firm is protected — without needing to lift a finger or hire in-house experts.

Predictable pricing, better results

One of the biggest frustrations we hear from firms is the unpredictability of IT costs. Hidden charges. Surprise invoices. Downtime that drains productivity.

Support Stack operates on a fixed-cost model. You get all-inclusive IT support, including Microsoft 365 optimisation, for a consistent monthly fee. No guesswork. No unexpected expenses. Just reliable, proactive support that keeps your tech running smoothly and securely.
