// What's Included

EVERYTHING A VILLAGES BUSINESS NEEDS FROM MICROSOFT 365.

Microsoft 365 is the foundation of how a modern Villages business communicates, collaborates, and stores files. Simply IT handles the entire lifecycle — license selection, migration from your current platform, security baseline configuration, and ongoing daily support for every Villages user.

Email Migration

Migrate from Exchange, Google Workspace, GoDaddy, Spectrum Webmail, or any other platform to Microsoft 365 — without losing email, contacts, or calendars. Villages businesses typically experience zero downtime.

License Right-Sizing

Per-user audit determining whether each Villages staff member needs Business Basic ($7.50), Standard ($15), or Premium ($22). Most Villages businesses overpay by 15-30% on license cost — we eliminate the waste.

SharePoint File System

Replace shared network drives with SharePoint document libraries organized by client, matter, or patient. Modern access controls, version history, and external-sharing governance for Villages professional services.

Microsoft Teams Setup

Channel structure matched to your Villages workflow. Chat, meetings, file collaboration, and (optionally) full business phone via Direct Routing. One platform replacing chat, file shares, meeting apps, and phone systems.

Security Baseline

MFA enforcement, Conditional Access policies, Defender for Business (on Premium), Intune device management, and audit logging — the configurations Microsoft ships disabled by default but every Villages business needs.

OneDrive Backup & Governance

OneDrive for Business deployed with retention policies and backup protection. Villages users get individual cloud storage with proper governance — not personal Dropbox accounts mixing business and personal files.

// Choose Your Tier

RIGHT-SIZE MICROSOFT 365 FOR EACH VILLAGES USER.

Microsoft sells 30+ SKUs. For a Villages small business under 300 employees, three plans cover almost every case. Most Villages businesses overpay because they buy the same tier for everyone — Simply IT runs a per-user audit and assigns the right tier to each role.

Business Basic
$7.50/user/month

Web/mobile Office apps + Exchange email + Teams + SharePoint + OneDrive. For Villages kiosks, shared front-desk accounts, and seasonal staff who only need email and browser productivity.

Business Standard
$15/user/month

Everything in Basic + full desktop Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook. No Defender, no Intune. Where most older Villages M365 tenants are sitting today.

Business Premium
$27/user/month

Everything in Standard + Defender for Business, Intune device management, Azure AD Premium P1 (Conditional Access), Information Protection. The SMB security floor for any Villages user with PHI, financial records, or admin access.

Pricing note: List Microsoft CSP pricing as of mid-2026. Annual-commitment terms. Simply IT passes through Microsoft pricing — no markup on licenses. Setup and ongoing management is included in flat monthly managed IT pricing for Villages clients.

// Why The Villages

WHY VILLAGES BUSINESSES STANDARDIZE ON MICROSOFT 365.

Microsoft 365 has become the default productivity platform for Villages small business — and there are good reasons for that specifically. Most Villages medical practice management vendors integrate with Microsoft 365 for email and scheduling. Most Villages financial planning tools integrate with Outlook and Teams. Choosing Microsoft 365 means file compatibility, calendar integration, and Teams meetings work seamlessly with the broader Villages business ecosystem.

For Villages medical and dental practices, the Microsoft 365 standard BAA (when activated) provides HIPAA-aligned email, calendar, and file storage. Simply IT verifies the BAA is activated in the admin console — most practices that bought Microsoft 365 directly from a reseller find the BAA was never activated, which is a common HIPAA documentation gap.

For Villages financial advisory firms covered by SEC/FINRA cybersecurity expectations and CPA firms covered by FTC Safeguards, Microsoft 365 Business Premium provides the MFA enforcement, Conditional Access, audit logging, and Intune device management that regulators expect to see. Simply IT configures these features (which Microsoft ships disabled by default) as part of standard onboarding for every Villages compliance-bound client.
