Microsoft 365 set up right —
with someone you can actually call.
Most businesses buy Microsoft 365 licenses and then struggle with setup. User accounts work, but Teams is broken. Email works, but lands in junk. SharePoint is configured wrong. MFA prompts annoy everyone because nobody set up the policies properly. These aren’t complicated problems — they just require someone who knows what they’re doing.
We’ve set up and administered Microsoft 365 for organizations across the Rainy River District — from small businesses to First Nations band offices with dozens of users. We handle the full implementation, document everything, and stick around when something needs attention. No 1-800 number, no ticket queue, no explaining your setup from scratch every time you call.

Keep your email data
in Canada.
Both Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace can be configured so your mailbox data is stored in a Canadian data centre rather than the US or another country by default. Microsoft operates dedicated Canadian regions (Toronto and Quebec City); Google Cloud has a Canadian region as well. We set your tenant region correctly during setup — it costs nothing extra and there’s no reason not to do it.
This matters most for First Nations organizations, healthcare providers, nonprofits handling client data, and any organization with PIPEDA obligations or a funder that requires Canadian data residency. We’ll confirm the correct region is configured and document it for you in writing if you need it for a compliance review or grant application.

Tell us how many users you have and what you’re currently using. We’ll recommend the right plan and quote the full setup cost upfront.
How much does Microsoft 365 setup cost in Fort Frances?
Microsoft 365 licensing is billed per user per month — from approximately $7 CAD for Business Basic. Our one-time setup fee depends on the number of users and complexity. Most small businesses are fully set up in half a day. We quote the full cost upfront with no surprises.
Can you migrate our old email to Microsoft 365?
Yes. We handle full email migrations from old hosting providers, Gmail, legacy Exchange, or other platforms — including all historical email, contacts, and calendar data. You don’t lose anything in the move.
What is the difference between Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace?
Both are cloud productivity suites with email, documents, and storage. Microsoft 365 integrates better with Windows environments and is standard in enterprise, government, and healthcare. Google Workspace is simpler and works well for smaller teams who prefer a browser-first experience. We help you choose and set up whichever fits your organization.
Do you manage Microsoft 365 ongoing, or just set it up?
Both. We offer one-time setup and migration, or ongoing Microsoft 365 administration as part of a managed IT agreement — handling user accounts, licensing, security policies, and helpdesk support.
Can you set up professional email for a new business in Fort Frances?
Yes. We register your domain if needed, configure your email hosting, and set up professional email addresses at your domain — yourname@yourbusiness.com. Most new business setups are completed the same day.
Can our email data be hosted in Canada?
Yes. Both Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace let us configure your tenant so mailbox data is stored in a Canadian data centre — Microsoft has Canadian regions in Toronto and Quebec City, and Google Cloud has a Canadian region as well. We set this up as standard for clients who need it for PIPEDA compliance, data sovereignty, or funder requirements.
