Microsoft 365 – set up right
We deploy, manage, and continuously improve Microsoft 365 – with a clear structure, the right permissions, and security built in from the start.
Many businesses pay for Microsoft 365 but use only a fraction of it. Without a clear structure, SharePoint and Teams quickly become cluttered – and permissions become hard to track.
Microsoft 365 is more than Office
Many people assume Microsoft 365 is the same as Office 365. The Office apps and email are only the starting point. Microsoft 365 is the entire platform your business runs on – and it needs to be managed as a whole.
- The Office apps, email, Teams, and SharePoint
- Sign-in and access with Entra ID
- PC and mobile device management with Intune
- Security with Microsoft Defender
- Managed by iqonic – with security, backup, and support

What is Microsoft 365 – and how do we manage it?
What is Microsoft 365?
Microsoft 365 is Microsoft's complete cloud platform for the workplace. It includes the Office apps, email in Exchange Online, Teams, SharePoint, and OneDrive, along with sign-in through Entra ID, device management with Intune, and security with Defender. The services work together and are managed from one place.
Is Microsoft 365 the same as Office 365?
No. Office 365 was the name for the Office apps and email in the cloud. Microsoft 365 is the whole platform: the same apps, plus sign-in, device management, security, and data protection. Word and Outlook are only a small part of what you pay for.
Which services are included in Microsoft 365?
Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook. Exchange Online for email and calendar. Teams for meetings and chat. SharePoint and OneDrive for documents. Intune for managing PCs and mobile devices. Entra ID for sign-in and access. Defender for security, and Purview for protecting sensitive information. Which services you get depends on your plan.
How does iqonic manage Microsoft 365?
We take ongoing responsibility for the entire environment: users and licenses, Teams and SharePoint, devices, security, and backup. We manage the security settings, keep permissions organized, and put new capabilities to work when they add value for your business.
How is Microsoft 365 secured?
With several layers that work together. MFA and Conditional Access in Entra ID mean a stolen password is not enough. PCs and mobile devices are managed and kept up to date with Intune. Microsoft Defender protects email, devices, and identities. We manage all of it on an ongoing basis.
Do we need a backup of Microsoft 365?
Yes. Microsoft protects the service itself, but you are responsible for your own data. The recycle bin and version history keep data for a limited time. That's why a separate backup of email, SharePoint, OneDrive, and Teams is included in both iqonic Basic and iqonic Care.
How do our employees get help?
They email support@iqonic.no or call us, and get help from dedicated contacts who know your users and your environment.
Which Microsoft 365 plan should we choose?
For most businesses with up to 300 users, we recommend Business Premium, because security and device management are included. Business Standard covers collaboration and productivity. E5 and E7 are for organizations with more than 300 users, or with the most demanding requirements.
