Centered Networks Foundations™
Lay the groundwork for mission‑driven Microsoft 365—with full platform enablement, ongoing support, and predictable flat-rate pricing.
Why Nonprofits Struggle with Microsoft 365
Microsoft 365 is powerful—but most nonprofits can’t unlock its full potential without help.
- Lean teams, big responsibilities. One or two overextended IT generalists are expected to manage everything from email to endpoint security.
- Features left in the dark. Intune, Purview, Viva, and more sit unused—leaving valuable tools idle and security risks unchecked.
- License confusion and wasted spend. A messy mix of Business Premium, E3, E5, and third-party tools can burn 15-30% of your IT budget on overlapping or unused services.
- A stack that’s too stacked. Juggling Zoom, Dropbox, Okta, and others drives complexity - and cost - when a unified Microsoft stack could do it all for less.
How Foundations™ Solves These Challenges
Foundations™ jump‑starts your Microsoft 365 tenant with the core building blocks you need to turn unused licenses into real value, close security gaps, and simplify your IT estate:
License & Cost Optimization. Reconcile E3/E5 SKUs, eliminate redundant apps, and reclaim 15-30% of your budget.
Security Baseline. Enable MFA, Conditional Access, and CIS‑aligned controls from Day 1 to protect your data.
Collaboration Activation. Roll out Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive & Viva in focused one‑sprint cycles—no feature left behind.
Governance Roadmap. Craft a 12‑month plan with bi‑monthly check‑ins to keep your tenant optimized and compliant.
