Most businesses already have Microsoft 365. Few are getting their money's worth.

Buying the licences is the easy part. What we see when we take on a new client is usually the same: too many seats, too little security switched on, and a team using a fraction of what they’re paying for.

Business Productivity Challenges

You're paying for people who left two years ago

Licences get added when someone joins and forgotten when they leave. Nobody owns the admin centre, so the bill creeps up every month and no one questions it. Most businesses we audit are overpaying by 15–30%.

It was set up once. By someone. At some point.

MFA isn't enforced, Conditional Access was never configured, shared mailboxes have no owner and ex-staff can still log in. Microsoft gives you the security tools; it doesn't turn them on for you.

Your files are in five places and nobody knows which one is right

OneDrive, a dozen Teams channels, an old file server and email attachments. Version chaos isn't a Microsoft problem, it's a setup-and-training problem, and it costs your team hours every week.

Everyone's being told to use Copilot. Nobody's shown your team how.

Copilot is only as good as the data it can see and the permissions behind it. Switch it on in a messy tenant and you get confident wrong answers and a privacy headache. Switch it on properly and it changes how people work.

Microsoft 365, managed by Rydal

A licence review that usually pays for itself

We audit every seat, remove the leavers, right-size the plans and tell you exactly what you should be paying. Then we manage joiners and leavers so it stays that way.

Security baselines, switched on and kept on

MFA for everyone, Conditional Access, device compliance and sensible sharing policies. Configured to Microsoft's recommended baseline for Business Premium, reviewed quarterly, and reported back to you in plain English.

One place for everything, and a team that knows where it is

We design your SharePoint and Teams structure around how your business actually works, migrate the file server, and train your people so the structure sticks.

Copilot, done the right way round

Tidy the data and permissions first, then a free 30-day trial for up to 25 users with setup and training from us. You see the value before you spend a penny on licences.

Enterprise-grade security

Microsoft 365 offers built-in advanced security features, including multi-factor authentication, to help keep business data protected and compliant.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a great experience working with Samantha Wilson from Rydal. She upgraded our office phones and mobile plans, clearly explained everything and  saved us money in the process. The engineer handled the installation quickly and without any problems. Would definitely recommend Samantha and the team.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A corporate decision saw us move our broadband and telephone system to a new provider who offered a  more favourable package both financially and in terms of the services offered and they commissioned Rydal, who would be responsible for the planning, the supply of all equipment, installation and every part of the operational requirements, both during installation and moving forward. Within our company I have the responsibility for the entire system in relation to requirements and operational needs and therefore my interaction with Rydal was immense. Our order consisted of 75 fixed desk handsets and 11 walkabout telephones over 20 different sites in addition to the broadband installs, new fibre cabling involving (sadly) Openreach, who performance and organisation was abysmal. From the start Rydal sought to introduce any relevant personnel and explain the part they would play.  It was also an opportunity to ensure clear lines of communication were established and our expectations could be clearly defined. Our key individual was our Project Co-ordinator, Angela Melvin and I can say with all sincerity that I don’t know what we would have done without her, she was an absolute star and poor Angela had to pick up all the shortfalls of Openreach, which she did admirably.   This was quite a sizeable project with many complexities and restrictions owing to the nature of our business where a service had to remain 24/7 and be worked around staff shift patterns etc so hurdles were going to appear from time to time, but each time they were presented she would overcome and resolved in a calm and civilised fashion.    Angela was never once phased; she would use such a fantastic phrase when I called her with an issue it was ‘leave it with me’ and you could be confident that it would be dealt with and outcomes fed back. Her tenacity and commitment to task was nothing short of commendable. If anyone heard me speaking with her you would think I was talking to a friend – our professional relationship went from strength to strength. If anything arose that she was unsure of, she was not too proud, given her knowledge and experience, she would refer and discuss with colleagues ensuring at all times that the correct information was relayed back. She was so instrumental to ensure that the installation was planned with absolute precision, and the installers were 1st Class (Simon and Will) who made every effort ensure client satisfaction and their necessary interaction with our IT engineers was superb as was Angela’s.  Our ‘Down Time’ on switchover day was absolutely minimal and scheduled accordingly owing to company needs. Personally I cannot thank her enough for her support and assistance. Dion O’Byrne (Chanel Growth & Strategy) was another individual who played a key part from the offset and was always there to ensure customer satisfaction and that all initially discussed requirements to be achieved were fully met upon completion and that we had an effective operating system and equipment.  There were No empty promises which can so often be the case when trying to clinch a deal. Training on the system was comprehensive and if in doubt there was always someone to bail you out and put you on the right track. Of course I was sceptical initially as I was happy with our old providers and the system we were using,  however now we are all fully equipped, and the system is complete I would recommend Rydal without a shadow of a doubt and I am so very pleased we moved over – the system is excellent, the portal is so user friendly and every single one of them at Rydal are at the end of a phone, more than happy to assist – If they say they will call you back, you can rest assured that they will. If you were in doubt as to whether to change suppliers  I would recommend ‘Move Providers’ as I am so sure you would not be disappointed. Val Alder Personal Assistant to the MD and Head of Co.
