How I help
Most SharePoint problems are permission, ownership, and structure problems wearing a technical costume. This is where the work goes.
All services-
Know the migration scope before you write the RFP or SOW
A discovery and readiness assessment of content, permissions, risks, and target design, so vendors quote against facts, not guesses.
-
Migrate SharePoint Server or file shares to Microsoft 365
Discovery, permissions review, migration waves, validation, and adoption, so the move is a clean-up and not a copy.
-
Clean up permissions and oversharing
Find broken inheritance, direct grants, stale guests, and ownerless sites, then fix them in an order that will not break people's work.
-
Secure your Microsoft 365 tenant, or recover from a hacked account
Close the gaps behind MFA: admin accounts, app access, mail forwarding, and sign-in controls. If an account is already compromised, contain it and find out what the attacker saw.
-
Get SharePoint ready for Microsoft 365 Copilot
Copilot surfaces whatever people can already reach. Review access, stale content, and ownership before it does.
-
Put governance in place that admins can keep running
Site lifecycle, ownership, external sharing, retention, and provisioning rules sized for the team that will own them.
-
Build SPFx, Power Platform, and Azure solutions your team can maintain
Web parts, extensions, dashboards, Power Apps, flows, and Microsoft Graph and Azure Functions integrations, with source control and documentation from day one.
-
Modernize the intranet
Hub structure, navigation, page templates, and content ownership that make the intranet findable again.
-
Train your team to use and run Microsoft 365
Private, live training for site owners, admins, Power Platform makers, and SPFx developers, built around your own tenant.
