Microsoft 365 deployment FAQs
Answers to the questions UAE and US businesses ask most before a Microsoft 365 rollout.
How long does a Microsoft 365 deployment take?
A tenant for up to 250 users is typically live in 2 to 6 weeks, including identity, security baseline, pilot and rollout. Larger or multi-country deployments are phased by site or business unit and usually run 2 to 4 months.
What is the difference between Microsoft 365 deployment and migration?
Deployment builds and configures the tenant itself: licensing, identity, security, Teams, SharePoint and devices. Migration moves existing data into it, such as mailboxes from Exchange Server or files from a file server. Most projects include both, and we scope them together.
Which Microsoft 365 license do we need?
Most SMBs in the UAE and USA fit Microsoft 365 Business Premium, which includes Intune and Defender. Organizations above 300 users, or with advanced compliance needs, move to Microsoft 365 E3 or E5. We map licenses to roles so you do not overpay.
Do you secure the tenant as part of the deployment?
Yes. Every deployment includes MFA, Conditional Access, Defender for Office 365, anti-phishing and a documented security baseline. As a cybersecurity company, we treat a secure tenant as the starting point, not an add-on.
Can you deploy Microsoft 365 for offices in both the UAE and the USA?
Yes. We design a single tenant with the right data residency, compliance and Conditional Access policies for each country, and deliver rollouts across UAE and US time zones.
What happens after go-live?
You receive full documentation and a two-week hypercare period. Many clients then move to our managed Microsoft 365 tenant management or co-managed IT support for ongoing administration, patching and security monitoring.
