Microsoft 365 & Productivity
You’re Paying for Microsoft 365.
Are You Getting Value From It?
Most organizations on Vancouver Island are using a fraction of what Microsoft 365 can do. ALPHA migrates, configures, and trains your team on the full platform — so work gets simpler, not more complicated.
We’ll show you exactly what you have — and what you’re leaving on the table.
The Problem
Does Any of This Sound Familiar?
These aren’t technology problems — they’re adoption and configuration problems. Every one of them is fixable.
“We pay for Microsoft 365 but our team barely uses it.
Microsoft 365 Adoption“Files are scattered — email attachments, personal drives, old servers.
File Storage / SharePoint“Teams was set up but nobody uses it the same way.
Collaboration“Every department does things differently. There’s no consistency.
Governance“We upgraded our tools. The way our staff works hasn’t changed.
Change Management“Our on-premise server is a liability — and we don’t know where to start.
InfrastructureThese problems have a clear solution. ALPHA configures Microsoft 365 around how your organization actually works — then makes sure your team adopts it. Not just deployed. Actually used.

Book a 15-Min Check-Up →Deployment means licences are assigned and email is running. Adoption means staff know where to store files, how to collaborate in Teams, when to use email versus a channel, and how to find what they need. ALPHA treats adoption as part of delivery — including role-based training tied to real workflows and governance that prevents the environment from drifting back into chaos.
We start with information architecture planning — deciding how SharePoint should be structured before moving a single file. We map existing folder structures, clean up what doesn’t need to move, configure permissions and ownership, then migrate with validation. The result is a SharePoint environment your staff can actually navigate.
Yes. ALPHA deploys Microsoft Teams Phone so internal and external calls happen through the same Teams environment your staff already use. This eliminates separate desk phones in most configurations and gives your team a consistent calling experience across office, remote, and mobile.
Absolutely — this is one of the most common engagements we do. Most organizations have M365 running but are only using 20–30% of the platform. We audit what you have, identify gaps and misconfigurations, and build a prioritized plan to get more value from what’s already in place.
Migrations are planned to minimize disruption. We test and validate in a staging environment before any cutover, schedule transitions during low-activity windows, and provide step-by-step guidance for your staff. Most organizations experience little to no downtime.
Vancouver Island
Built for Organizations
Across Vancouver Island
Organizations across Vancouver Island are using Microsoft 365 every day — but most are only using a fraction of what they have. Proper configuration of SharePoint, Teams, and OneDrive alone can significantly reduce the time staff spend on manual work.
Our technicians are based in Courtenay, Nanaimo, and Campbell River — on-site support is part of every managed plan, not an optional add-on.
