Microsoft 365
What is Microsoft 365?
Microsoft 365 is the cloud-based platform that powers modern business productivity — combining email (Exchange Online), collaboration (Teams), document management (SharePoint), Office applications (Word, Excel, PowerPoint), and advanced security into a single monthly subscription.
For Calgary businesses, Microsoft 365 replaces on-premises Exchange servers, file servers, and standalone software licences with a cloud-hosted platform that scales with your team. Every user gets 1TB of OneDrive storage, access to Office apps on up to five devices, and enterprise-grade email protection — all managed from a central admin console.
AltaCom handles licensing, migration from legacy systems, security hardening, Teams governance, and ongoing management. Most Calgary businesses we migrate achieve a full rollout within two to four weeks with zero email downtime.

Common questions about Microsoft 365 in Calgary, Alberta
Microsoft 365 FAQs for Calgary Businesses
A typical Microsoft 365 migration for a Calgary SMB (25–150 users) takes 2–4 weeks from kickoff to cutover. This covers tenant setup, directory synchronization, email migration, Teams configuration, and SharePoint setup. Cutovers are scheduled on weekends or evenings to minimize disruption. Larger organizations with complex on-premises environments or multiple locations may take 6–12 weeks.
A Microsoft Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) like AltaCom can provision, manage, and bill for your Microsoft 365 and Azure subscriptions directly. As your CSP, you get a single monthly invoice, faster provisioning, access to AltaCom's certified support team, and often better pricing than purchasing directly from Microsoft. You can switch CSP at any time without losing data or service.
Yes. AltaCom has migrated dozens of Calgary businesses from Google Workspace (formerly G Suite) to Microsoft 365. We migrate email history, contacts, and calendars using Microsoft's native migration tooling, with a parallel-run period to ensure nothing is missed. The cutover is typically scheduled over a weekend with minimal disruption.
Copilot for Microsoft 365 costs $30 USD per user per month and requires Microsoft 365 Business Standard or higher. For businesses where knowledge workers spend significant time on email, meetings, and document creation, Copilot typically delivers 1–2 hours of productivity savings per user per week. AltaCom provides a free Copilot readiness assessment to help you determine whether your current M365 setup, data governance, and use cases make Copilot a worthwhile investment.

Client Stories
What Alberta businesses say
“We partnered with AltaCom to modernize our trucking operations, and the results have been great. They moved us from an old office server to all online systems. They implemented remote work on Azure AVD, and implemented an automated phone system for our dispatch and tracking team. Everything runs smoother, our team can work from anywhere, and call handling is much more efficient. The rollout was well-managed and their support was solid throughout. Highly recommend.”
