A fractional Microsoft team that knows your environment.

Once the Microsoft estate is live, somebody has to run it. We do that, properly. Helpdesk, monitoring, governance oversight, security, and continuous improvement, structured around a price you can plan around.

What it is like to be a Cloudbliss managed client.

One shared Teams channel. Tickets logged through email, the Teams channel, or our portal.
Helpdesk responds inside the SLA, escalates to senior engineers when it has to.
Monthly status email: what we did, what we found, what we recommend.
Quarterly governance review covering security posture, licence position, and the roadmap.
Annual strategic conversation about what the next twelve months should look like.
Honest reporting on what worked and what did not.

What we do not cover.

Honesty about scope.

Hardware procurement and break-fix on individual laptops or printers (we partner with hardware providers for this).
Telephony hardware (we cover Teams Phone software and migrations but not handset estate management).
Generic IT support for non-Microsoft systems.
On-site engineering visits (we are remote-first; on-site is an extra-cost add-on if you need it).
Pure Azure infrastructure work where Microsoft 365 is not the core (this is a different practice; we can recommend partners).

Managed support questions.

Can we move between tiers?
+

Yes, at any quarter end with thirty days' notice. The most common path is starting at Foundation, moving to Advance once Power Platform or Copilot work is in flight, and onto Enterprise as the firm grows past two hundred users.

What is the minimum commitment?
+

Twelve months on Foundation and Advance, with break clauses at month six and month nine. Twenty-four months on Enterprise because the named engineer model needs the runway.

Can you support Power Platform apps we did not build?
+

Yes, with caveats. We do a one-week takeover review to understand what is there and what is supportable. Some apps we will support as is; others we will recommend rebuilding before adopting them, because supporting bad architecture costs more than rebuilding.

How is this different from an MSP?
+

Most MSPs are generalist support shops that handle multiple technologies. We are Microsoft-only and senior on Microsoft. That means we can do work an MSP cannot (Copilot governance, Power Platform builds, advanced security configuration) and we are usually more expensive at the entry tier and more capable at the top. Some firms genuinely need a generalist MSP for the rest of their estate alongside us; we are happy to coexist.

Do you handle Microsoft licence purchasing?
+

Yes, via CSP at the Enterprise tier, optionally as an add-on at Foundation and Advance. We pass licences through at net cost plus a small admin fee that is more transparent than most resellers; the licence optimisation we do during the engagement usually saves more than the admin fee in the first quarter.
