Microsoft 365, set up right and kept secure.
Microsoft 365 runs email, files and Teams for a lot of small businesses, and it's often set up in a rush and never touched again: no multi-factor sign-in, licenses nobody uses, and an admin account tied to someone who left. CTS sets up, migrates, secures and supports Microsoft 365 (formerly Office 365) for Pittsburgh-area businesses, and manages your licensing so you pay for what you use.
Setup, migration, security and licensing
Everything Microsoft 365 needs, handled by one provider.
Setup
Your domain, users, mailboxes and shared mailboxes set up correctly, with Outlook, Teams and OneDrive working on every computer and phone.
- Domain and DNS set up
- Users, shared mailboxes and groups
- Outlook, Teams and OneDrive on every device
- SharePoint for shared company files
Migration
Moving email and files into Microsoft 365 from Google Workspace or an old email host, without losing messages or a day of mail.
- Email, calendars and contacts moved
- Files moved to OneDrive and SharePoint
- Cut over after hours
- Nothing deleted until you confirm
Security
Most small business break-ins start with one stolen password. We turn on multi-factor sign-in, lock down admin accounts and fix the email records that stop spoofing.
- Multi-factor sign-in for everyone
- Separate, protected admin accounts
- SPF, DKIM and DMARC set up
- Ex-employee access shut off properly
Licensing
Business Basic, Standard or Premium: the right plan per person, unused licenses removed, and new hires licensed the day they start.
- Right plan per user
- Unused licenses removed
- Adds and removals handled
- Renewals tracked
Three Microsoft 365 situations we sort out
Everyone shares one info@ login
One password passed around the office for the main inbox. We turn info@ and billing@ into shared mailboxes, so each person gets in with their own sign-in and nobody shares a password.
Company files live on one laptop
The quotes, contracts and price sheets sit on one person's computer or a USB drive. We move them into SharePoint and OneDrive, organized and backed up, so the team can reach them from anywhere.
An employee left
Their mailbox is converted to a shared mailbox or forwarded to a manager, their files are handed over, and the license is freed, the same day.
What owners ask us first
Is Microsoft 365 the same as Office 365?
Yes. Microsoft renamed the business plans from Office 365 to Microsoft 365. It's the same service: Outlook email, Word, Excel, Teams, OneDrive and SharePoint.
Will we lose email during a migration?
No. We copy your mail first, cut over after hours, and keep the old system until you've confirmed everything arrived. Mail sent during the switch still reaches you.
Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace?
Both are solid. Microsoft 365 fits if your team lives in Word, Excel and Outlook; Google Workspace fits if you work in the browser and Gmail. We support both and will tell you which suits you.
