Problems Microsoft 365 Business Email Setup solves
These are the issues we see most often with businesses in Møre og Romsdal.
Weak security

Shared inboxes that nobody owns
Support and sales mail needs clear ownership. Shared mailboxes and groups solve this. fisheries firms in Møre og Romsdal often ask us to check this first.
Inconsistent addresses
Staff using different formats look unprofessional. Aliases and naming rules unify them. Businesses near Molde tell us this is where time is lost.

Publishing MX records before mailboxes exist
MX changes before mailboxes exist lose mail.
Forgetting to document who owns the domain
Unclear domain ownership causes trouble later.
