Managed IT & Cloud Platform Support
Ongoing support for organisations that rely on Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, email, and Identity systems every day.
Some organisations reach a point where reactive, ad‑hoc IT support is no longer enough. As environments grow more dependent on cloud platforms, email security, and Identity management, issues tend to become more complex, more interconnected, and more disruptive when something goes wrong.
Managed services with Hamilton365 provide ongoing oversight, proactive support, and trusted technical advice, without locking you into generic MSP packages or call‑centre style support.
When Managed Services Make Sense
Managed services are a good fit if you:
Common Managed Service Scenarios
Managed services are typically tailored to your environment, but often include support across areas such as:
- Ongoing tenant health checks and optimisation
- Exchange Online / Gmail configuration and mail-flow management
- Email security oversight (Defender, phishing protection, deliverability)
- DMARC, SPF and DKIM monitoring and remediation
- Entra ID (Azure AD) and Google Admin configuration and review
- Role-based access and external user access oversight
- Periodic Identity and permission reviews
- Secure onboarding and offboarding processes
- Post-migration support after M365, Google Workspace or Exchange projects
- Regular review of configuration, policies, and security posture
- Advice and guidance as cloud services evolve
- Priority support when issues arise, including after-hours where required
Rather than a fixed checklist, managed services are shaped around how your organisation actually uses Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace.

A Different Approach to Managed IT
Hamilton365 does not operate as a traditional managed service provider.
You work directly with a senior Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, email, and Identity specialist, 25+ years in enterprise IT, including a decade running Identity and messaging for 200,000+ users, who understands your environment end-to-end, from everyday operational issues through to complex security and access scenarios.
The focus is on getting things right, keeping systems reliable, and avoiding unnecessary disruption.
What "no lock-in" means, specifically
Nearly every provider says it, and it means different things depending on who is saying it. Rather than repeat the phrase, here is what it means here, in terms you could hold anybody to.
No minimum term
Month to month from the first month, not after an initial twelve or twenty-four. There is no period during which leaving costs you more than staying.
No exit fee
Ending the arrangement costs nothing beyond the month you are in. Notice is measured in weeks.
Your tenant stays yours
Your Microsoft 365 tenant, your domain and your data are held in your name, not mine. I hold administrative access to do the work, and that access can be revoked by you at any time without anything moving.
Documentation you keep
What was configured and why is written down and given to you as it goes, rather than living in one person's head. If you leave, it leaves with you.
The third one is the only one that really matters
A minimum term is an inconvenience. A tenant you do not own is a different problem entirely, because leaving stops being an administrative handover and becomes a migration with a cost and a timeline attached.
It is worth checking rather than assuming, and it is easy to check: look at who holds Global Administrator, and whose billing details the Microsoft subscription sits on. If the tenant was created under a provider's own partner account and nobody at your business has an administrator login, then whatever the contract says, the practical control is not yours. This is common, it is usually not deliberate, and it only becomes visible at the moment somebody wants to leave.
If that turns out to describe you, it is fixable. Tenant-to-tenant migration covers provider-locked tenants specifically, including what regaining ownership actually involves.
What to compare, if you are looking at more than one
Ask each arrangement the same five questions and the differences show up quickly: is the tenant in your name, what happens on exit in writing, what is included against what is billed on top, who actually answers outside business hours, and whether you are told what was done. That last one sounds soft and is not. Work you never hear about is work you cannot evaluate until the day it turns out not to have happened.
Questions about changing provider
Discuss Managed Services
If you think managed services may be right for your organisation, get in touch to discuss your current setup and support requirements.
Managed services engagements are scoped individually following an initial conversation. Most Hamilton365 managed services clients are organisations with 10-100 users on Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace. Pricing reflects the agreed scope - typically from $299/month for focused M365 oversight through to custom arrangements for more complex environments. There are no lock-in contracts.
Managed services are offered on a selective basis to ensure a high standard of service and ongoing attention.
