Microsoft 365 Management
Microsoft 365 Management for Los Angeles Businesses
Microsoft 365 is often central to how a business communicates, shares files, and gets work done. It rarely gets the ongoing attention it needs.
Xentric manages the licensing, security, and structure behind Microsoft 365, so it supports your business instead of quietly becoming a blind spot.
Microsoft 365 management is Xentric's ongoing oversight of the platform your team already relies on for email, files, and collaboration. It covers licensing, identity and access security, Teams and SharePoint structure, backup, and keeping the tenant current as Microsoft rolls out new features.
Most businesses are not using Microsoft 365 badly. They are using it unmanaged, which means small gaps and unused licenses accumulate quietly until something forces the issue.
the problem
Unmanaged Microsoft 365 becomes a blind spot
Microsoft 365 is easy to turn on and easy to leave alone. Most tenants are set up once, during onboarding or a migration, and then rarely revisited unless something breaks.
In the meantime, employees come and go, sharing links get created and forgotten, and new security features Microsoft adds do not turn themselves on. None of it looks urgent day to day, which is exactly why it tends to go unmanaged.
Common blind spots we find during a first review:
- Licenses paid for but never actually used
- Multi-factor authentication left off for some or all users
- External sharing links with no expiration
- Former employees still holding active accounts
- No real backup beyond Microsoft’s default retention
what's included
What Microsoft 365 management covers
The goal is to get more value out of the platform you are already paying for, while closing the gaps that build up when nobody is actively managing it.
License Management
A review of what your business is actually using against what it is paying for, so licensing matches real usage instead of defaulting to whatever tier was chosen years ago.
Identity and Access Security
Multi-factor authentication, conditional access rules, and login monitoring configured to keep unauthorized sign-ins out without making everyday access harder than it needs to be.
Teams and SharePoint Governance
Structure around who can create sites and Teams, how external sharing works, and how files get organized, so collaboration tools stay usable instead of turning into sprawl.
Cloud-to-Cloud Backup
Backup for mail, files, and Teams data that goes beyond Microsoft’s native retention windows, so deleted or corrupted data can actually be recovered.
Copilot and New Feature Rollout
Evaluation and controlled rollout of newer Microsoft 365 capabilities, including Copilot, so adoption is deliberate rather than left to whichever employee found the feature first.
Ongoing Tenant Health Monitoring
Regular review of your Microsoft 365 environment for misconfigurations, unused accounts, and security drift that build up quietly between changes.

Get more value and less risk from Microsoft 365
Many businesses are paying for a Microsoft 365 tier that does not match how their team actually works, either overpaying for features nobody uses or missing security tools that come with a plan they are already eligible for.
Reviewing licensing against real usage is one of the fastest ways to either reduce cost or unlock protection you are already entitled to.

Security and management work together here
Microsoft 365 sits at the center of a lot of security exposure: email, file sharing, and the login credentials that unlock all of it. Our email security service focuses specifically on protecting the inbox. This service covers the rest of the tenant: identity, access, file governance, and backup.
Together, they mean Microsoft 365 is treated as a security surface to manage, not just a productivity suite to leave running.
why xentric
A subscription is not the same thing as a managed platform
Buying Microsoft 365 licenses is the easy part. Keeping access secure, storage organized, licensing right-sized, and the tenant current with new features as Microsoft ships them is the part that gets skipped once the initial setup is done.
As part of XenManage, we handle that ongoing oversight directly, and coordinate it with the rest of your security and backup strategy instead of managing Microsoft 365 as a separate, disconnected system.
