Microsoft 365 Support & Cloud Consultancy in Cornwall

How we help

Cloud platforms, identity and devices brought under control.

LocalNetworks helps businesses get more value and control from cloud platforms without turning the project into jargon. We work across Microsoft 365, Exchange, Teams, SharePoint, Entra ID, Azure services, Intune device management, MFA, endpoint protection, email security and practical migration planning from in-house systems to fully or partially cloud-based environments. We also bring AWS, PowerShell Studio and configuration release engineering experience, useful where legacy systems, hosted services, operational workflows or hybrid environments need careful change control. The focus is operational improvement and sensible risk reduction, not compliance theatre.

• Exchange, Teams, SharePoint and Microsoft 365 structure
• Entra ID, identity, MFA and access control
• Azure, AWS awareness, hybrid cloud and migration planning
• Intune device management, endpoint protection and access control
• PowerShell Studio automation for practical operational workflows

Commercially, this work can be just as much about simplifying the estate as modernising it. Previous multi-site transformation work has delivered six-figure annual savings by removing unnecessary systems, cancelling unused connectivity, and replacing over-complex platforms with simpler cloud-managed alternatives.

Before renewing Microsoft 365 licensing or accepting a cloud proposal, get an IT Second Opinion for £149: a focused review with questions to put back to your supplier.

Practical support

When your Microsoft 365 setup needs a review

Accounts, licences and shared information often accumulate as staff join and the business grows. A review can establish who owns the environment, which services are in use and where access or configuration needs attention.

• Email and shared mailboxes: clarify ownership and who needs access.
• Teams and SharePoint: review where information belongs and how it is shared.
• Entra ID and Intune: examine account access and device management within the agreed scope.
• Licensing: compare assigned services with current business needs before renewal decisions.

The outcome should explain the findings and proposed actions in terms the business can assess, with any licence or supplier dependencies identified.

Practical support

Migration and security changes with a clear plan

A cloud migration needs more than copying data. Existing applications, identities, devices and internet connectivity can affect the transition. LocalNetworks can help establish dependencies, prepare a change sequence and agree testing and recovery steps.

Security work can include multi-factor authentication, administrator access, email protection, endpoint controls and backup arrangements. Changes should be tested with the people affected and supported by clear ownership. Moving a service to the cloud does not remove the need to decide how access and recovery will be managed.

Where the work spans contracts, infrastructure and several suppliers, fractional IT leadership can help coordinate decisions and delivery.

Before you enquire

Questions and answers

Can you review an existing Microsoft 365 environment?

Yes. The scope can include accounts, licensing, email, Teams, SharePoint, device management and security settings. Access is arranged securely after the work and responsibilities are agreed.

Can you work alongside our current IT provider?

Yes. A focused review or project can complement the existing provider’s work. Agreeing access, change ownership and follow-up responsibilities helps avoid conflicting changes.

Does every system need to move to the cloud?

No. The decision should account for application requirements, connectivity, cost and how the business operates. A mixed environment may be appropriate where its responsibilities and dependencies are understood.

Can you check our backup and recovery arrangements?

Yes, within an agreed scope. The review can establish what is covered, who manages it and how recovery is checked against the systems and information the business needs.
