You don’t need everything perfectly set up before engaging with Espria. Many organisations come to us with a mix of licensing gaps, inconsistent policies or partially configured Microsoft services.
As part of onboarding, we review both your current Microsoft licensing and your tenant configuration. That includes checking whether you have the right entitlements in place for the services you want us to manage and whether your environment is aligned to baseline best practice. Where we find gaps, in licensing or configuration, we outline what’s required to get you to a stable, supportable and compliant starting point.
If you need help implementing those changes or migrating workloads, we can scope that as a follow-on piece of work before ongoing managed services begin.
Microsoft Licensing Support
As one of the UK’s largest indirect CSP partners, Espria can help you make sense of Microsoft’s complex licensing models:
- Microsoft 365 Licence Assessments – identifying unused, under-used or misallocated licences to reduce cost.
- Migration support – moving from Enterprise plans, NCE or CSP agreements to the most cost effective licensing model.
- Optimisation – aligning features to actual usage, so you pay only for what you need.
Policy Configuration
We help organisations with no (or inconsistent) governance move to a secure, policy-driven model:
- Baseline security policies for device enrolment, encryption and MFA.
- Conditional Access configurations to control access across apps and data.
- Joiner, mover, leaver workflows to keep identity management consistent.
TBackup & resilience configuration – aligning Microsoft 365 tenants with managed backup services.
Ongoing Alignment
Even once the service is live, we continue to:
- Monitor licensing against usage and growth.
- Keep security baselines aligned to Microsoft’s evolving recommendations.
- Provide regular roadmap reviews to ensure platform choices support long-term strategy.
Key Takeaway
Each service maintains clear governance and accountability, while allowing for adaptation to client-specific needs. Each service operates within structured, transparent frameworks that can be flexibly configured to match each client’s operational, compliance and governance requirements.
If you’re missing licences or security governance, Espria fills those gaps. Through assessments, policy design, migrations and readiness projects, we get you to a compliant, efficient baseline.
