Microsoft 365 Setup, Licensing & Migration in Dubai

Microsoft 365 is the backbone of most modern offices, but it is easy to buy the wrong licences, leave security wide open or lose mail during a migration. Aqua System Technologies plans, licenses, migrates and secures Microsoft 365 tenants for businesses in Dubai and the UAE, with zero-downtime cutovers as the standard we work to.

Licensing Done Properly

We map licences to roles instead of buying the same plan for everyone. Typical mixes include Business Basic for shop-floor and shared users, Business Standard for office staff who need desktop Office apps, Business Premium where device management and advanced security are required, and Enterprise E3 or E5 for larger organisations. Add-ons such as Exchange Online Plan 1, Teams Phone, Power BI, Project, Visio and Defender licences are recommended only where they earn their cost. Annual versus monthly commitment is explained in plain figures so you can decide.

Tenant Setup and Configuration

  • Tenant creation, domain verification and DNS records – MX, Autodiscover, SPF, DKIM and DMARC configured correctly to protect deliverability
  • Exchange Online mailboxes, shared mailboxes, distribution lists, aliases and mail-flow rules
  • Microsoft Teams – teams, channels, guest access, meeting policies and Teams Phone / Direct Routing
  • SharePoint Online and OneDrive – site structure, permission model and Known Folder Move so desktops and documents sync automatically
  • Entra ID (Azure AD) users, groups, conditional access and self-service password reset
  • Microsoft Intune – device enrolment, compliance policies, app deployment and remote wipe for lost laptops and phones
  • Outlook, Teams and OneDrive rollout on Windows, macOS, iOS and Android

Migrations We Handle

  • Google Workspace to Microsoft 365, including Drive and shared drives to SharePoint
  • On-premises Exchange to Exchange Online, cutover or hybrid
  • cPanel, IMAP, POP, Zoho and Rediffmail to Exchange Online
  • Tenant-to-tenant migrations after a merger, rebrand or company restructure
  • File server and NAS data to SharePoint and OneDrive with permissions preserved
  • PST import and archive mailbox consolidation

Every migration begins with a discovery report on mailbox sizes, data volumes and DNS ownership, followed by a pilot batch, then staged cutover outside business hours. Users keep their mail, calendars, contacts and folder structure, and Outlook profiles are reconfigured on site or remotely.

Security and Compliance Hardening

  • Multi-factor authentication for all users and blocking of legacy authentication
  • Conditional access by location, device compliance and risk level
  • Anti-phishing, safe links, safe attachments and impersonation protection
  • Data loss prevention, retention labels and litigation hold where needed
  • Admin role separation, break-glass accounts and audit log review
  • Third-party backup of Exchange, SharePoint, OneDrive and Teams – Microsoft does not back up your data for you

Ongoing Support

We provide day-to-day Microsoft 365 administration as part of our managed support and AMC plans: onboarding and offboarding staff, licence right-sizing at renewal, mail-flow troubleshooting, spam and quarantine management, and monthly reporting on security posture and unused licences.
