Azure infrastructure
Scope virtual machines, storage, networking and secure connectivity around your workloads. Azure resource consumption is billed separately from Microsoft 365 licences.

Productivity and protection.
Built to work together.
Make more of your Microsoft environment. WestTech helps you plan licensing, strengthen identity and device controls, deploy collaboration services and connect cloud infrastructure to business reporting.

Conditional Access
Device management
Endpoint & email protectionMORE THAN EMAIL AND OFFICE APPS
A connected workplace needs a security foundation.
Microsoft 365 brings people and information together through email, documents, meetings and shared workspaces. The right configuration also needs to control who can sign in, which devices can connect and how information is shared.
Business Premium combines productivity with additional identity, device and security capabilities. We review your organisation, existing licences and requirements before recommending the right plan.
Business Premium is designed for up to 300 users. For larger organisations or more advanced requirements, we assess the relevant enterprise plans and add-ons.
MICROSOFT 365 BUSINESS PREMIUM
Turn included capabilities into configured protection.
Owning the licence is the starting point. We help design, deploy and manage the controls your organisation needs.
| Capability | What it enables | How WestTech can help |
|---|---|---|
| Microsoft 365 apps & collaboration | Supported Office apps and business collaboration services | Tenant setup, migration, user adoption and administration. |
| Microsoft Entra ID P1 | Identity management and Conditional Access | Define sign-in rules, MFA requirements and access conditions. |
| Microsoft Intune Plan 1 | Device and application management | Enrol supported devices, apply configuration and manage compliance. |
| Microsoft Defender for Business | Endpoint protection for eligible organisations | Onboard supported devices and configure protection and investigation workflows. |
| Defender for Office 365 Plan 1 | Additional email and collaboration protection | Configure policies and review suspicious-link, attachment and phishing protection. |
| Information protection & DLP capabilities | Supported classification and information-protection controls | Assess data handling requirements and configure the licensed capabilities. |
Microsoft 365 Business Premium and Office 365 are not interchangeable names. Plans differ in their identity, device and security entitlements. Server protection, advanced security features and some workloads can require extra licences.
CONDITIONAL ACCESS IN PRACTICE
Make access depend on the context.
1 / Sign-in signalsUser identity, application, location and device information inform the access decision.
2 / Entra policyConfigured policies can require MFA, a compliant device or other permitted conditions.
3 / Resource accessUsers reach the authorised Microsoft 365 or connected application resources when policy conditions are met.
We design policies around real working patterns, test them with a controlled rollout and plan emergency access. A device marked compliant in Intune can inform an Entra Conditional Access decision. Supported applications and protected users need the appropriate licences.
Risk-based identity features can need Entra ID P2 or additional entitlements; they should not be assumed to be included with baseline Business Premium.
AZURE & THE MODERN WORKPLACE
Connect identity. Design the infrastructure.
Shared identity
Entra ID can support access to Microsoft 365, Azure management and connected applications. Azure resource permissions still need appropriate roles and governance.
Hybrid working
Plan device management, remote access and application delivery around office, remote and site-based teams.
Cloud governance
Review administrative roles, resource organisation, cost visibility and changes so cloud use remains controlled.
Backup & continuity
Define recovery needs for Microsoft 365 data and Azure workloads. Product retention and independent backup are different parts of the plan.
Microsoft adoption
Help people work effectively with Teams, SharePoint and OneDrive, while improving sharing and access practices.
POWER BI & BUSINESS VISIBILITY
Make your operational data easier to act on.
Bring agreed sources into dashboards for management reporting: project pipeline, tender status, service activity or commercial performance. We scope data access, modelling, refresh and sharing around the business question.
Power BI sharing and collaboration need the appropriate user licences or capacity arrangements. Business Premium does not automatically grant Power BI Pro.
Copilot in Power BI has its own Fabric or Premium capacity and configuration requirements. A Microsoft 365 Copilot licence or Power BI Pro licence alone does not satisfy them.
A practical Microsoft engagement.
- Review users, licences, devices and existing services
- Identify identity, access and sharing priorities
- Agree configuration, migration and adoption scope
- Define ongoing administration and review
QUESTIONS BEFORE WE TALK
Clear answers for your next decision.
Does Business Premium include Azure hosting?
No. Azure virtual machines, storage and other consumption-based resources are separate from the Microsoft 365 subscription. We identify the relevant licensing and resource costs in the proposal.
Can you configure Conditional Access?
Yes. We can scope policy design, testing and deployment around your users, applications and devices, with appropriate licensing and emergency-access planning.
Is Copilot automatically included?
Copilot Chat and paid Microsoft 365 Copilot experiences have different capabilities and entitlements. We review the intended workflow and eligible licences before recommending a rollout.
