Your Microsoft 365 tenant managed by one team

Microsoft 365 support and managed service sits within Littlefish Group’s AI business solutions capability. Our team operates Exchange Online, OneDrive for Business, SharePoint Online and Microsoft Teams inside your tenant, applying consistent configuration, licensing, identity and security policies across every workload.

Littlefish Group have six advanced Microsoft specialisations inclusive of Adoption and Change Management and Threat Protection. These are credentials that Microsoft controls and audits directly. Alongside your tenant, we also deliver Microsoft Teams collaboration, SharePoint governance and Microsoft 365 Copilot readiness, so a change to your Entra ID or SharePoint permissions is applied to Copilot, Teams and Outlook simultaneously.

Littlefish Group’s Microsoft 365 support and managed service

Tenant configuration and CIS benchmarks

Tenant configuration runs against Microsoft’s baseline guidance and the CIS Microsoft 365 benchmarks, applying the same standards our CREST-accredited SOC uses across the Littlefish Group customer base. Configuration covers identity, email, sharing, mobile device management and audit logging across your tenant. CREST accredited SOC

Licence allocation and optimisation

Licence allocation across your Microsoft 365 estate is aligned to actual platform usage. Every user cohort is matched to the correct SKU, with frontline staff, knowledge workers and administrators on different plans. Unused Copilot, Business Premium and E5 seats are identified and reclaimed at the next licence cycle.

Identity governance and access control

Identity governance for your Microsoft 365 tenant runs on Microsoft Entra ID with conditional access, multi-factor authentication and privileged identity management, aligned to your governance and compliance model. Access decisions run against user identity, device state and risk signals, not static permissions.

UK-based Microsoft 365 service desk

Your Microsoft 365 support runs through our UK service desk. This means there’s no international shift handover between analyst teams. Context on your tenant configuration, your priority workloads and your escalation contacts is retained by named analysts assigned to your account across all hours.

User adoption and training programmes

Microsoft Viva telemetry measures Microsoft 365 adoption across your organisation, feeding structured user training programmes targeted at the workloads with the lowest uptake in your tenant. Feature usage across your Microsoft 365 estate rises in line with the licences you have provisioned.

Microsoft Defender for Office 365

Microsoft Defender for Office 365 protects your email and collaboration traffic against phishing, malicious links and dangerous attachments. Policies are configured to your risk profile and alerts route into our managed cyber security services, where CREST-accredited analysts triage them alongside the rest of your estate.

Stop configuration drift, licence sprawl and adoption stalls in Microsoft 365

    Configuration drifting from day one

    Your Microsoft 365 tenant was configured tightly at go live but drifts over time. Admin changes, licence resets, guest access grants and untracked policy edits move your configuration away from its baseline. Compliance reporting continues to pass while your real security posture weakens each month against the original hardened standard.

    Licence spend running ahead of actual usage

    Your user cohorts sit on E5 when their work requires E3, Copilot licences remain assigned but unused and frontline staff carry knowledge-worker plans. Without a scheduled review, Microsoft 365 licensing spend across your organisation runs consistently above what actual usage justifies and compounds at each renewal.

    Adoption stalling after Microsoft 365 rollout

    Features deployed across your tenant are not always adopted. Teams voice deployments sit unused, SharePoint governance policies are bypassed, and Copilot licences generate no queries. Licence spend continues while the business outcomes the rollout was intended to deliver do not materialise across your organisation.

How we do things differently

Six advanced Microsoft specialisations

Littlefish Group are one of a select few UK partners to have six advanced Microsoft specialisations. Delivery capability is independently verified by Microsoft rather than self-declared.

UK based operations with no shift handover

We run your Microsoft 365 support from our operations in the UK, no exceptions. Analysts, engineers and escalations all sit in the UK, with no international shift handover across the working day.

Threats triaged inside a wider security operation

Most managed 365 providers stop at Defender. Threats in your Microsoft 365 tenant are triaged by our CREST-accredited, CISSP-qualified analysts inside our wider security operation.

One team to handle advisory, migration and operation

Advisory, migration, day-to-day operation and adoption of your Microsoft 365 tenant run from one Littlefish Group team, with no handover between consultancy and managed service.
