Frequently Asked Questions
Let’s answer some of your frequently asked questions about cloud computing services
What is the best way to get started with Microsoft 365 for business?
Start by identifying what tools you’re currently using and where there are gaps. A Microsoft 365 Usage Review can highlight opportunities for automation, better collaboration, and improved data management.
Is Microsoft 365 suitable for small businesses?
Absolutely. Microsoft 365 is scalable and includes enterprise-grade tools for email, file sharing, task management, and security — all tailored to the needs and budgets of SMEs.
Can Microsoft 365 really improve productivity?
Cloud consultants enhance data security by identifying risks and ensuring compliance with data protection regulations. They implement security best practices, including encryption and access controls, conduct regular security audits, and provide staff training on cybersecurity. These measures help prevent data breaches and maintain data integrity.
What’s the difference between OneDrive and SharePoint?
OneDrive is for personal file storage; SharePoint is designed for team and organisation-wide collaboration with better access control, version history, and structured document management.
Do I need to back up my Microsoft 365 data?
Yes. Microsoft 365 has data redundancy but not true backups. You should use a third-party solution to back up your emails, files, and Teams data to avoid loss due to accidental deletion, malicious attacks, or retention policy expiry.
