Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is the difference between Microsoft 365 Business Basic and Business Premium?
Microsoft 365 Business Basic includes web-based Office apps, Exchange Online, Teams, and OneDrive for $6/user/month. Business Premium adds desktop Office apps, Intune device management, Defender for Business, Entra ID conditional access, and data loss prevention for $22/user/month. Most BEMO clients run Business Premium because it includes the security tools needed for compliance readiness. -

BEMO has migrated over 1,000 businesses from platforms like Google Workspace, GoDaddy, and on-prem Exchange. The process includes domain verification, mailbox and file migration, DNS cutover, and user training. Your dedicated CSM handles change management so the transition doesn't disrupt daily operations.
-
How long does a Microsoft 365 migration take?
A straightforward migration for a 50-person company typically takes 2–4 weeks. Larger environments or complex migrations (on-prem servers, multiple domains, legacy apps) may take longer. BEMO scopes the timeline during the initial consultation based on your current environment. -
Is BEMO a Microsoft partner?
Yes. BEMO is a Microsoft Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) and won the 2023 US Microsoft Partner of the Year Award. BEMO was also featured by Satya Nadella at the Microsoft Secure 2024 Summit for two case studies on Entra Verified ID and Entra Security Service Edge. -

BEMO provides a dedicated Customer Success Manager, a faster-response support team, and access to helpdesk support via phone, email, or web portal. Average response time is under one hour. Your CSM also conducts quarterly reviews covering Microsoft Secure Score, support metrics, and IT planning.
-
Can A Managed Microsoft 365 Provider Improve Security?
Yes. A managed Microsoft 365 provider configures built-in security tools such as Microsoft Entra ID, Microsoft Defender, Intune device management, and Microsoft Purview data loss prevention. Proper configuration significantly reduces the risk of account compromise, data leaks, and phishing attacks.
-
Do Businesses Need IT Staff If They Use Managed Microsoft 365 Services?
Many small and midsize businesses use managed Microsoft 365 services instead of hiring a full internal IT team. A managed provider handles licensing, migrations, security policies, troubleshooting, and user support, allowing your staff to focus on operations rather than technology management.
