Microsoft 365 Management in Grantham
Most businesses pay for Microsoft 365 licences and use a fraction of what is available. Crushed Ice manages the full Microsoft 365 platform: setting up and maintaining Exchange Online, Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive, Entra ID (formerly Azure AD), Intune device management, and conditional access security policies. We handle licence optimisation, as many businesses are on the wrong tier, user onboarding and offboarding, migrations from on-premise Exchange or Google Workspace, and ongoing Secure Score improvements. Think of us as your dedicated Microsoft 365 administrator: more cost-effective than an in-house IT hire, and more reliable than relying on a single person who could leave tomorrow.
Crushed Ice provides microsoft 365 management to businesses throughout Grantham. Whether you're based in the town centre or surrounding areas, our team delivers the same level of service - remotely or on-site as needed.

Your Microsoft 365 onboarding
A structured approach from day one to ongoing success
Licence & Usage Audit
We review your current Microsoft 365 licences, check which apps are actually being used, and identify where you're overpaying or underutilising. Many businesses immediately save money here.
Security Baseline
Before anything else, we implement Microsoft's recommended security baseline: MFA, conditional access, and anti-phishing. This step is non-negotiable.
Migration or Configuration
If you're moving from on-premise Exchange, Google Workspace, or another provider, we plan and execute the migration with minimal disruption. If you're already on M365 but it's a mess, we restructure and clean it up.
Ongoing Administration
We handle all day-to-day Microsoft 365 admin: starters, leavers, licence changes, new Teams deployments, SharePoint projects, all as part of your monthly managed IT arrangement.
Common scenarios
Common scenarios and what becomes possible
Migrating from On-Premise Exchange
Scenario: A 60-person law firm was running an ageing Exchange 2013 server that was approaching end-of-life. Their IT team had left and they needed to migrate to Exchange Online without losing any email or disrupting client communications.
Outcome: Crushed Ice completed a full hybrid migration over a weekend, with zero email loss and no disruption to the working week. The on-premise server was decommissioned, saving £3,000 per year in maintenance costs.
Licence Cost Reduction
Scenario: A 35-person distribution company was paying for Microsoft 365 Business Premium for every user, including warehouse staff who only needed email access on shared terminals.
Outcome: After auditing actual usage patterns, we restructured licences, moving non-knowledge workers to Frontline plans and reducing their annual Microsoft spend by 28% while maintaining full functionality for office staff.
Teams-First Remote Working Setup
Scenario: A consultancy firm went remote overnight during 2020 and cobbled together a mix of personal email accounts, WhatsApp, and Dropbox. Two years later they needed a proper, secure, unified platform.
Outcome: We migrated all file storage to SharePoint/OneDrive, consolidated communications onto Teams, and implemented proper security policies. Staff noticed a real improvement in how easy collaboration had become, and data was properly secured for the first time.
Security Breach Recovery
Scenario: A small business had an email account compromised. The attacker had been forwarding emails to an external address for three months undetected.
Outcome: We contained the breach, removed the malicious forwarding rules, forced credential resets, implemented MFA across the organisation, and set up alerting to catch similar activity in future. All within four hours of being called.
