The Foundation module is designed for businesses that need Microsoft 365 set up properly before adding migration, backup or ongoing management.

New businesses

Set up professional email, accounts, collaboration and security correctly from the beginning.

Businesses moving platforms

Create the target Microsoft 365 environment before adding the Email Migration or Data Migration modules.

Existing Microsoft 365 tenants

Review and improve a tenant that has grown without clear structure, security or administrative control.

Why CloudMonsta

Microsoft 365 is easy to buy but much harder to configure well. CloudMonsta gives small businesses a secure, documented and manageable foundation without unnecessary complexity.

Clear scope

You know what is included, what is optional and what happens next.

Security included

Account protection and email authentication are part of the core setup.

Built for growth

The environment can be expanded later with migration, backup, security and support modules.

Clear scope

No hidden bundle. You can see exactly what belongs in the Foundation module.

Direct delivery

You work directly with the engineer planning and configuring the environment.

Future-ready

Add migration, backup, security or management later without rebuilding everything.

A structured delivery process

From first conversation to working environment

Every Microsoft 365 Foundation project follows a clear process, with planning, configuration, testing, documentation and post-launch support.

Frequently asked questions

Can I keep my existing domain?

Yes. Your existing business domain can normally be connected to Microsoft 365 so users keep their current email addresses.

Can you migrate my existing email?

Yes. Email migration is available as a separate module so it can be scoped properly based on the source platform, mailbox sizes and number of users.

Is Teams and SharePoint included?

A basic company Team and SharePoint document area are included. More detailed structures, permissions and file migrations are handled through the dedicated Teams and SharePoint module.

Do I need Microsoft 365 Business Premium?

Not necessarily. The right licence depends on your security, device management and collaboration requirements. CloudMonsta will recommend the most suitable option.

What happens after setup?

You receive documentation and handover support. Ongoing administration, backup and security services can be added separately.
