Managed Microsoft Ecosystem : One stack. One accountable lead.

Microsoft 365, Entra ID, SharePoint, Azure Virtual Desktop, Intune, Purview, and Dynamics 365 / Business Central — run by Golonex as one tenant, not one slice at a time, with one named lead who answers for it.

Under Fractional Leadership. This is one of the mandates the seat owns — delivered by Golonex or by your existing vendor, overseen either way.

Managed tenant operations

One tenant, one accountable lead.

Licensing, identity, collaboration, and business applications drift apart when four people each own a piece. Golonex runs them together — a named engineer for a single tenant, a dedicated team once Dynamics 365 or several tenants are in scope — with one lead accountable for all of it, at a fixed monthly price per seat.

  • Microsoft 365 and Entra ID. Identity, Conditional Access, MFA enforcement, and device compliance, held to one baseline.
  • SharePoint and Teams governance. Site and team lifecycle, sharing policy, retention, and data lifecycle that survive staff changes.
  • Dynamics 365 / Business Central. Administration and integration oversight alongside the tenant, not apart from it.
  • Licensing and tenant hygiene. Licences matched to people and roles, stale accounts removed, and spend reviewed every month.
  • Secure configuration baselines. Tenant settings aligned to CIS, NIST, or your framework, with drift corrected and recorded.

Who runs it

An engineer for the tenant. A team when the estate grows.

A single Microsoft 365 tenant is well served by one named engineer, with a second briefed for cover. Business applications, virtual desktops at scale, and several tenants are not.

Option one

A named engineer

One Golonex engineer who knows your environment, dedicated or fractional, with a second engineer briefed to cover leave and escalation.

Fits when

  • One Microsoft 365 tenant: Entra ID, Intune, Exchange, SharePoint, and Teams
  • Licensing, baselines, and tenant hygiene in steady state
  • Business-hours support with an agreed escalation path
Option two

A dedicated team

A lead who owns the outcome, a project manager (dedicated or fractional), and a dedicated delivery team with the specialists the work needs.

Fits when

  • Dynamics 365 or Business Central alongside the tenant
  • Azure Virtual Desktop for a large or distributed workforce
  • Purview data governance programmes across the estate
  • Several tenants, subsidiaries, or a tenant-to-tenant migration

Always a team: Dynamics 365 implementations and tenant migrations. They need a functional consultant, an integration engineer, and a tenant engineer working together.

Either way, one named lead answers for it — and reports to you every month.

Azure workplace

Desktops, devices, and data — governed on Azure.

The parts of Azure your people touch every day. Landing zones, networking, and cloud cost sit with managed infrastructure; these sit with the tenant.

Azure Virtual Desktop

Session hosts, FSLogix profiles, image pipelines, autoscaling, and secure access for distributed and regulated workforces.

AVDFSLogixAutoscaling

Intune & endpoint policies

Device enrolment, compliance and configuration baselines, app protection, and custom policies where the templates fall short.

IntuneCustom policiesEndpoint DLP

Purview data governance & DLP

Classification, labelling, data loss prevention, and retention that DPDP, GDPR, and your auditors can stand on.

PurviewClassificationDLP

Running Azure infrastructure as well? Managed infrastructure owns landing zones, networking, and cost across Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud.

Business applications

Dynamics 365 and Business Central, run as part of the platform.

ERP and CRM drift when they are administered apart from identity, licensing, and integrations. Under the managed Microsoft ecosystem, they are run with the rest of the tenant, by the same team and the same accountable lead.

Administration, support, and integration oversight run as part of the managed Microsoft ecosystem. Implementations, migrations, and extensions run as fixed-scope builds through managed software delivery.

  • Administration & managed support

    A named consultant who knows your implementation: user requests, month-end assistance, update testing, and small enhancements, at a fixed monthly price per seat.

  • Integration oversight

    Banking, e-commerce, logistics, payroll, and custom systems connected through APIs, Dataverse, and Power Automate — documented, and owned by the same lead as the tenant.

  • Identity & licensing, governed together

    Dynamics roles, Entra ID sign-in and Conditional Access, and licence optimisation handled with the rest of the estate instead of drifting apart.

  • Implementation

    Business Central ERP and Dynamics 365 Sales, Customer Service, and Field Service — scoped and priced upfront as a fixed-scope build.

  • Migrations & upgrades

    NAV, GP, and legacy ERP to Business Central, and on-premise Dynamics to cloud — validated in parallel runs before cutover.

  • Extensions & Power Platform

    AL extensions, Power Apps, Power Automate, and Power BI — upgrade-safe customisation that survives Microsoft’s release cycle.

Why One Team

The seams are the risk.

Every Microsoft estate is really five projects wearing one logo. Split them across vendors and each one optimises its slice — while identity, governance, and cost fall between the chairs.

Your tenant, your licences, your data.
Our name on every layer.

01

One team on every layer

Microsoft 365, the Azure workplace, and Dynamics 365 run under one accountable lead.

02

Identity-first, always

Every engagement starts at the identity layer — Entra ID, MFA, Conditional Access — because everything above it inherits its weaknesses.

03

Scoped and priced upfront

Fixed-scope builds, fixed monthly pricing by seat for managed operations, and licence optimisation on the way through.

FAQ

Managed Microsoft ecosystem — your questions, answered

Why work with one team across the whole Microsoft stack? +

Because the seams are where Microsoft projects fail. The ERP consultant assumes identity is someone else’s job; the cloud team assumes governance comes later; the licensing sits with a third vendor. One accountable lead across Microsoft 365, Entra ID, the Azure workplace, and Dynamics 365 means the seams are engineered, not discovered.

Where should we start if we are early in Microsoft adoption? +

Identity first, almost always — Entra ID with MFA and Conditional Access is the foundation everything else stands on. From there the order depends on what hurts: collaboration (Microsoft 365 and SharePoint), identity (Entra ID), or the Azure workplace (Virtual Desktop, Intune, Purview). A short assessment call settles the sequence.

Do you cover SharePoint and the Power Platform too? +

Yes. SharePoint architecture, migration, and governance run under our Microsoft 365 practice; Power Apps, Power Automate, and Power BI development run under our delivery practice. Both are coordinated by the same accountable lead.

Do you cover Dynamics 365 and Business Central? +

Yes, as part of the Microsoft ecosystem. Administration, support, and integration oversight run under the managed Microsoft ecosystem, with the same accountable lead who owns the tenant, identity, and licensing. Implementations, migrations from NAV or GP, and extensions run as fixed-scope builds through managed software delivery.

Can you take over a Microsoft estate mid-flight? +

Yes — a stalled migration, an ungoverned tenant, an Azure environment nobody fully understands. We start with a written assessment of the estate across identity, security posture, cost, and governance, then propose a sequenced plan. Rescue work is a large share of what we do.
