Microsoft 365 is now the centre of how most organisations in the UAE and the GCC work: email, Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive and the security tools that protect them. Getting value from it depends on two things: buying the right licences and moving to the platform without disrupting the business. StorTech Solutions is UAE-based and has been helping businesses run efficient IT since 2004, serving clients in Dubai and across the UAE, KSA, Oman, the wider GCC and Africa. We advise on Microsoft 365 licensing, plan and carry out migrations, and keep your subscriptions matched to how your people actually work, so you get a productive, secure workplace at an optimised cost.
Microsoft 365 licensing that fits your business
Microsoft 365 comes in many plans: Business Basic, Business Standard and Business Premium for smaller organisations, Enterprise plans for larger ones, plus frontline and add-on options. Choosing the wrong mix often means paying for features no one uses, or leaving security gaps. We review your users, roles and compliance needs, then recommend a licence mix that balances capability and cost. We also explain subscription terms such as commitment length and billing frequency, so there are no surprises at renewal.
- Licence assessment and right-sizing for current users
- Guidance on Business vs Enterprise plans and add-ons
- Renewal planning and true-up support
- One point of contact for quotes and procurement, whether you’re in the UAE, KSA, Oman or elsewhere in the GCC and Africa
- Fast licence delivery: StorTech holds large local stock for immediate fulfilment, so licences can be provisioned without delay
Smooth migration to Microsoft 365
Whether you are moving from on-premises Exchange, another email platform or legacy file servers, a well-planned migration protects your data and your productivity. Our engineers plan each stage: discovery, identity setup, mailbox and file migration, cutover and user onboarding. Where possible we schedule work outside business hours, so your teams, in Dubai or across the GCC, can keep working while we move them.
- Email migration to Exchange Online
- File server and share migration to SharePoint and OneDrive
- Microsoft Teams rollout and configuration
- Identity and sign-in setup with Microsoft Entra ID
Security and compliance built in
Microsoft 365 includes strong security controls, but many need to be switched on and configured. We help you set up multi-factor authentication, conditional access, device management and email protection that suit your risk profile. For organisations with data residency or regulatory questions, we can explain the options Microsoft offers for customers in the UAE and the region, so you can make informed decisions alongside your compliance advisers.
Protect Microsoft 365 data with Cyber Resilience
Microsoft runs the platform, but your data is still your responsibility. Accidental deletion, ransomware and malicious insiders can all affect mailboxes, SharePoint sites and Teams. StorTech’s Cyber Resilience service uses Veeam to back up Microsoft 365 data, with optional offsite copies on Wasabi cloud storage, so you can recover quickly when something goes wrong.

Frequently asked questions
Which Microsoft 365 plan is right for my business?
It depends on your user count, the applications you need and your security requirements. Many small and mid-sized businesses start with Business Standard or Business Premium, while larger organisations look at Enterprise plans. We’ll review your needs and recommend the most cost-effective mix.
Will we lose email or files during migration?
A properly planned migration is designed to move all agreed mailboxes and data with minimal disruption. We test before cutover, schedule work to limit downtime and support your users afterwards.
Does Microsoft back up our Microsoft 365 data?
Microsoft keeps the service available, but it recommends that customers protect their own data. A separate backup, such as Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365, gives you independent copies you control.
