Problems Microsoft 365 Business Email Setup solves
These are the issues we see most often with businesses in Rogaland.
Emails landing in spam
Missing SPF, DKIM and DMARC records reduce trust. Correct authentication improves delivery. Teams in Stavanger usually raise this in the first call.
Inconsistent addresses
Staff using different formats look unprofessional. Aliases and naming rules unify them. For a Rogaland company, the local angle is MVA and the expectations of Skatteetaten and the Brønnøysund Register Centre.
Weak security
Passwords alone are not enough. Multi-factor authentication and admin policies reduce risk. We see this regularly with offshore energy businesses in Stavanger and Sandnes.
