Whichever platform you're on — or want to move to — we manage it. Migrated with zero downtime in either direction. Hardened with MFA / 2-Step Verification, Conditional / Context-Aware Access, and anti-phishing turned on the way each vendor actually intended. Teams, Meet, SharePoint, and Drive deployed with governance instead of chaos. Licenses right-sized so you stop paying for users who only open email. All run by a CISSP-led Arkansas team — not a contact form in the void.
Microsoft and Google sell the platforms. We deploy and run them for you — migration in either direction (Workspace ↔ M365, plus Exchange or IMAP), tenant security hardening (MFA / 2-Step Verification, Conditional or Context-Aware Access, anti-phishing, Data Loss Prevention), collaboration deployment (Teams, Meet, SharePoint, Drive) with governance, license right-sizing, user onboarding and offboarding, and ongoing administration. So you get the value of cloud productivity without staffing a full-time admin — and without the most common holes attackers exploit on either platform.
These are the four most common reasons Arkansas businesses call us about Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace.
Email is the #1 attack vector for business breaches — phishing, business email compromise, and credential theft account for the majority of breach entry points reported in the Verizon DBIR. A Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace tenant configured wrong is the front door criminals walk through every day. Source: Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report 2024.
You hired the cheapest migration vendor on Google. They flipped MX records on a Friday with no coexistence. Half your users couldn't send. Calendar invites bounced. You spent the next week on the phone with vendors blaming each other. The CEO is now allergic to the words "Microsoft 365" — or "Google Workspace," depending on which direction you were moving.
Your previous vendor or VAR sold you the top-tier plan because it had "everything." You bought 25 seats of M365 E5 at $57/month — or Workspace Enterprise Plus at $30/month. Audit shows nobody uses the advanced analytics, the security stack isn't configured, Copilot or Gemini wasn't enabled, and the features you're paying for are turned off. You're thousands of dollars per year over what you actually need.
The owner has MFA or 2-Step Verification. Maybe. The admin assistant doesn't because "she was complaining." The CFO is exempt because he travels. Legacy authentication (POP / IMAP / basic auth) is still on. Conditional or Context-Aware Access isn't configured. The audit log shows successful sign-ins from countries no employee has ever visited. Your cyber-insurance application asks about all of this.
No — neither does. Both vendors are explicit about it: they don't keep restorable backups of your tenant. A user deletes a mailbox, ransomware encrypts OneDrive or Drive, an admin misconfigures retention — the data's gone after the recycle bin / Vault window. Native retention is not backup. Most clients we audit on either platform have no cloud-to-cloud backup at all.
Not "we resell Microsoft or Google." Real CISSP-led tenant administration on whichever platform fits your business — deployed the way each vendor's own security architects recommend.
Workspace → M365, M365 → Workspace, plus from on-prem Exchange or IMAP. Staged migration with mail-flow coexistence so messages keep flowing during cutover. Mailboxes, calendars, contacts, shared mailboxes / Shared Drives, distribution groups, OneDrive or Drive files, SharePoint sites or Google Sites, Teams or Meet content — all moved. Total user-visible downtime under 15 minutes. We use Microsoft's and Google's native tools where possible, plus BitTitan, SkyKick, or CloudFuze for trickier sources.
MFA or 2-Step Verification enforced on every account (no executive exemptions). Conditional Access (M365) or Context-Aware Access (Workspace) policies. Anti-phishing, Safe Links / Safe Attachments on Microsoft; Advanced Protection on Google. VIP impersonation protection. Legacy auth blocked (POP / IMAP / basic). Audit logging enabled and retained. The default-on hardening both vendors ship off.
Named, naming-convention-aligned Teams or Chat Spaces. Restricted creation (no orphaned channels or abandoned spaces). Lifecycle policies (auto-archive after inactivity). External sharing reviewed. Meeting policies tuned in Teams and Meet. Voice / phone-system optional on either platform. The deployment that makes collaboration a productivity tool — not the second IT mess.
Site or Shared Drive structure designed for your business, not whatever the migration tool guessed. Permissions audited. External sharing controlled (Drive Trust Rules on Workspace, SharePoint external-sharing settings on M365). Sensitivity labels or Drive Labels for regulated data. Retention aligned to your industry's requirements. Search that returns what people actually need.
Anti-phishing policies tuned for your VIPs on either platform. Impersonation detection on the CEO, CFO, and finance team. DMARC, DKIM, SPF configured correctly (most tenants get this wrong on both M365 and Workspace). Optional Proofpoint, Mimecast, or Avanan layered on top for higher-risk industries. Email encryption (Microsoft Purview or Google Workspace Client-side Encryption) for regulated correspondence.
We audit who has what license — M365 Business / E3 / E5 or Workspace Business Starter / Standard / Plus / Enterprise — who actually uses what, and where you're paying for things nobody touches. Most clients save 15–30% in year one. The savings come straight from license waste, not from us — and the audit alone usually pays for itself in the first year.
Microsoft and Google will sell you the licenses. Neither will deploy, harden, or right-size your tenant. Here's what the difference looks like in practice — for either platform.
| Mansour's M365 or Workspace Service | Vendor Direct (Microsoft or Google) | Generic MSP | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tenant deployment | Configured to each vendor's security baseline + your industry | You configure it · YouTube tutorial | "Standard setup" — usually defaults |
| MFA / 2-Step Verification | All users · Conditional or Context-Aware Access policies | Per-user toggle you forget to flip | "On for most users" (exec exemptions) |
| Migration support | Staged · coexistence · either direction · < 15 min cutover | Self-serve migration tools · you operate them | Big-bang weekend cutover · brittle |
| License right-sizing | Annual audit on either platform · usage-based · 15–30% savings typical | Both vendors happily sell top tier to everyone | "You needed E3" — once, three years ago |
| Anti-phishing tuning | VIP impersonation policies · DMARC / DKIM / SPF on both platforms | Defaults · you tune it | "It's enabled" — never actually tuned |
| Collaboration governance (Teams / Meet / SharePoint / Drive) | Naming conventions · lifecycle · restricted creation on both | Anyone can create anything | Sprawl after 12 months |
| Cloud-to-cloud backup (M365 or Workspace) | Third-party backup platform · separate from Microsoft / Google | Not provided · "use retention policies / Vault" | Often missing entirely |
| User onboarding / offboarding | Documented · same-day SLA · license reclaimed | You do it · admin console | "Submit a ticket · 2 business days" |
| Audit log / sign-in review | Monthly review on either platform · anomaly investigation | Available · you review (you won't) | Pulled only when something goes wrong |
| Copilot or Gemini governance | SharePoint or Drive permission cleanup before enabling | Flip it on · hope nothing leaks | "We can turn it on" (no governance work) |
| Who fixes broken mail flow at 7 AM | Us · phone-answered in three rings | Microsoft / Google support ticket queue | Submit ticket · "we'll get to you" |
| Cost transparency | All costs walked through on the discovery call · no surprises after signing | Self-serve pricing page · admin not included | "That's an add-on" · recurring price increases |
Three clear steps. No 90-day discovery phases. No surprise scope changes. Same process whether you're on Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, or moving between them.
A quick call to walk through your current setup — which platform you're on (M365, Workspace, or legacy email), security configuration, MFA / 2-Step Verification coverage, license utilization, collaboration sprawl, anti-phishing posture. You leave the call with a clear sense of where your real exposure is, what right-sizing would save you, and whether our model fits. No pressure if it's not a fit.
We propose a hardening plan and a license right-sizing recommendation for whichever platform you're on (or want to move to). Fixed-fee migration if you're moving Workspace ↔ M365 or coming from Exchange. The administration model and full scope of work are walked through on the same call — you see exactly what's included before you sign.
Migration cutover after-hours so Monday is normal. Tenant hardening rolled in over the first 30 days with user communication. From there: ongoing administration on M365 or Workspace, user onboarding / offboarding, monthly audit log review, anti-phishing tuning as new threats emerge, and a real Arkansas technician on the phone in three rings.
Three moving parts on either platform — administration (per user), vendor licenses (passed through at cost), and migration (one-time, if you're moving in or between platforms). We'll lay out your per-user number on the 10-minute discovery call.
Three Google reviews from clients we've worked with on cybersecurity, sensitive-data protection, and patient, jargon-free support.
"When we experienced an email breach, their team responded the same day, resolved the issue promptly, and gave us the confidence to entrust them with all our IT needs. We had never worked with an IT firm before, and now we can't imagine needing anyone else."
"Our accounting firm in Little Rock chose Mansour's Computer Solutions to handle our cybersecurity onboarding, and the experience was outstanding. They took the time to understand how we store and access sensitive client tax data, then implemented multiple layers of protection to keep our systems safe from hackers."
"I needed a workstation that could keep up with my demanding schedule — clinical research, telehealth, and data security — all while working between home and the hospital. Mansour delivered exactly what I needed right here in Little Rock. His team built me a custom machine with the power of a gaming rig and the protection of an enterprise system."
Yes — in either direction. We migrate from Google Workspace to M365, from M365 to Google Workspace, plus from on-premises Exchange (2013, 2016, 2019), legacy IMAP / POP systems (GoDaddy, Rackspace, your old ISP), and tenant consolidations. We use Microsoft's and Google's official tools where possible, plus BitTitan, SkyKick, or CloudFuze for trickier migrations. Mailboxes, calendars, contacts, shared mailboxes / Shared Drives, distribution groups, OneDrive or Drive files, SharePoint sites or Google Sites, Teams or Meet content — all migrated, with cutover scheduled after-hours so your staff arrives Monday morning to a working inbox.
No. We do staged migrations with mail-flow coexistence so messages keep flowing during the transition. For a typical 25-user migration we sync mailbox content in the background over 5–10 days, do a final delta sync the evening of cutover, switch MX records overnight, and your team starts the next workday on the new platform with their full mailbox, calendar, and contacts intact. Total user-visible downtime is usually under 15 minutes.
Both platforms ship with most security features off or set to minimum. Tenant hardening means turning on the right ones. For Microsoft 365: MFA enforced on every user (no executive exemptions), Conditional Access policies, Anti-Phishing / Safe Links / Safe Attachments, impersonation protection, audit logging, legacy-auth blocked (POP / IMAP / basic), Data Loss Prevention. For Google Workspace: 2-Step Verification enforced on every user, Context-Aware Access policies, advanced phishing and malware protection in Gmail, Drive DLP, Drive Trust Rules for external sharing, login challenge for high-risk events, Admin audit log retention. Most tenants on either platform have less than half of this configured.
No — and both vendors are explicit about this in their service agreements. Microsoft and Google replicate your data for availability (so a regional outage doesn't lose it) but neither keeps point-in-time backups you can restore from if a user deletes a mailbox, a ransomware event encrypts OneDrive or Drive, or an admin misconfigures a retention policy. After the recycle bin / Vault retention window expires, the data is gone. Cloud-to-cloud backup is the only fix — for both M365 and Workspace tenants. Covered in detail on our Data Backup & Recovery page — pricing scoped on the discovery call.
Yes — license right-sizing is one of the first things we look at, on either platform. Most clients have a mix of M365 Business Basic / Standard / Premium / E3 / E5 (or Google Workspace Business Starter / Standard / Plus / Enterprise) plus add-ons that nobody documented when they were assigned. We run a license utilization report (who has what, who uses what), identify users on premium tiers who only use email (a $57/mo M365 E5 or $30/mo Workspace Enterprise Plus when a $12.50 plan would do), reclaim licenses for terminated staff that still have seats, and consolidate. Typical savings are 15–30% in year one — usually enough to pay for our administration fee.
With governance. Teams, Meet, SharePoint, and Drive without governance turn into hundreds of orphaned channels and spaces, abandoned sites and Shared Drives, files duplicated across OneDrive / SharePoint / Drive, and external sharing links that outlast the employee who created them. We deploy with a documented naming convention, lifecycle policies (auto-archive after inactivity), restricted creation (only IT or designated owners can spin up new Teams or Shared Drives), reviewed external sharing, and quarterly cleanup. Boring, but it's the difference between collaboration being your productivity tool and collaboration being your second IT problem.
Yes — both. Microsoft 365 Copilot and Gemini for Google Workspace are covered in depth on our AI Services page. The short version: before you turn either on, the underlying SharePoint / OneDrive or Drive permissions need to be cleaned up (Copilot and Gemini can surface any file the user technically has access to, including documents shared too broadly years ago), data classification and sensitivity labels or Drive Labels should be in place, and a use policy should define what's allowed. We do all of that as part of a Copilot or Gemini deployment, then enable tenant-wide or pilot-group at a time.
Administration scales with security depth on either platform. The core tier covers user lifecycle, license assignment, and mailbox / Teams / Meet / SharePoint / Drive support. The full-hardening tier adds Conditional / Context-Aware Access, anti-phishing tuning, DLP rules, sensitivity labels or Drive Labels, monthly audit-log review, Copilot or Gemini governance, and platform security stack tuning (the right tier for regulated industries). One-time migrations are priced separately as fixed-fee projects. Your administration model, license coordination, and migration scope are all walked through on the free 10-minute discovery call — no commitment, no pitch.
In one quick call you'll walk away with: (1) where your current IT is leaking time, money, or risk, (2) what a fix looks like for a business your size, and (3) whether Mansour's is the right fit. Real Arkansas technician on the call — not a salesperson.
