How it works
From first conversation to finished setup
A straightforward way of working that keeps you informed at each stage.
Set up and secure
Microsoft 365 is configured with your domain, mailboxes created and the DNS records for reliable delivery put in place. Multi-factor authentication is switched on so a stolen password alone does not hand over the account.
Migrate and guide
Where you are moving from an existing service, Symnetrix helps plan the migration to limit disruption, then sets up your devices and explains the day-to-day administration in plain terms.
Who it is for
Homes and small businesses
Small businesses, trades and local organisations that want professional email addresses using their own domain or need help moving existing mailboxes to Microsoft 365.
Why Symnetrix
Joined-up thinking
Mailbox requirements, domain records and account security are considered together so the finished Microsoft 365 setup is practical for the people using it.
Worth knowing
Practical considerations
Email on your own domain looks more professional, but the value is in getting delivery right. Misconfigured records send your messages to spam or let others spoof your address, so SPF, DKIM and DMARC are worth doing properly.
Multi-factor authentication is the single most useful protection for a mailbox. Email is often the key to resetting every other account, so a compromised inbox is rarely a small problem. It is built in from the start rather than added later.
