Part of Secure & Govern Microsoft

Turn Microsoft 365 Business Premium into a managed platform.

M365 InstantOn deploys a documented Microsoft 365 baseline across identity, devices, email, collaboration, security, and data protection—then keeps it aligned through active management, drift detection, change control, reporting, and ongoing platform uplift.

  • Portable runbooks and configuration

The problem

Microsoft 365 is infrastructure now. It needs an operator.

Licensing gives you capability. It does not decide how Conditional Access should work in your environment, enroll and govern the device fleet, harden sharing, maintain data-protection policy, track exceptions, review drift, or turn Microsoft’s continuous platform changes into an operating cadence.

M365 InstantOn creates that discipline.

What you buy

One service, two modules.

Module 1

Business Premium foundation

$15,000 Launch, plus $2,500 per month Managed

The entry point for organizations running Microsoft 365 Business Premium. We deploy and operate the baseline across:

  • Microsoft Entra ID and Conditional Access
  • Microsoft Intune
  • Microsoft Defender for Business
  • Exchange Online and the Defender for Office 365 capabilities included in scope
  • SharePoint and OneDrive sharing controls
  • Microsoft Teams safety defaults
  • The Microsoft Purview capabilities included in the licensed baseline
  • Documented exceptions, change history, and reporting

Module 2

Defender & Purview Suites uplift

+$15,000 Launch, plus an additional $2,500 per month Managed

For organizations that license—or decide to license—Microsoft’s Defender and Purview Suites for Business Premium.

Module 2 extends the operating surface into the advanced Defender, Entra, and Purview capabilities licensed by the customer. It is an uplift on Module 1, not a substitute for the foundation underneath it.

Term. Managed carries a 12-month minimum per module, then continues month-to-month with 30 days’ written notice to cancel. Launch is a one-time fee. The Essentials SKU below has its own 18-month term.

Microsoft licensing is separate from Centered Networks fees and is sized during scope. Full commercial terms for the selected modules are confirmed in the SOW before work begins.

How it works

Establish the baseline without turning production into a science experiment.

01

Assess

Confirm licenses, identities, endpoints, exceptions, critical workflows, and current control state.

02

Stage

Configure the standard baseline and document required deviations.

03

Pilot

Validate changes with a controlled group before broad rollout.

04

Roll out

Deploy the approved baseline across the scoped tenant.

05

Validate

Confirm policy state, document exceptions, hand over the baseline and operating runbooks, and establish the managed cadence.

What Managed does

Keep the baseline from becoming a historical artifact. Managed includes:

  • Drift detection and service-desk workflow
  • Reviewed configuration changes
  • Baseline uplift as Microsoft changes
  • Exception management
  • Tenant reporting
  • Roadmap review
  • Documentation maintenance
  • Coordination with your existing IT team or MSP

Copilot readiness

Copilot inherits the Microsoft environment you give it.

Copilot can only be as governable as the identity, sharing, permission, and data-protection environment underneath it.

InstantOn does not “make Copilot safe.” It puts the Microsoft 365 foundation into a more controlled, explainable, and actively managed state so Copilot decisions can be made with fewer unknowns.

Under 25 seats

Smaller tenant? Use the right-sized SKU.

Managed

M365 InstantOn Essentials

$795 per month · no setup fee · 18-month term

For organizations under 25 seats that want a managed standard baseline without bespoke Conditional Access design or the broader Module 1 operating scope.

One-time

M365 InstantOn Activation

$4,500 one time

For organizations under 25 seats that can fund a one-time modernization project but not ongoing operations. A standard baseline is deployed, documented, and handed over with a Day-30 report.

Be aware

Activation puts the tenant in a stronger position, but an unmanaged baseline will drift. If continuous management is feasible, Essentials is the preferred model.

Who it is for.

A strong fit when

  • Microsoft 365 Business Premium is the organizational platform
  • The tenant has accumulated exceptions, inconsistency, or unclear ownership
  • Leadership wants a documented baseline rather than ad hoc administration
  • The organization wants Microsoft-specific operating discipline without replacing every other IT provider
  • Copilot or advanced security and compliance is on the roadmap

Not the right fit when

  • The organization is not running Microsoft 365
  • The environment is primarily enterprise E3 or E5 and needs a broader custom operating model. Start with CompleteCare Foundations.
  • The requirement is only help desk, hardware, or network support
  • The customer wants a one-time assessment with no deployment. Start with the 90-Day AI Roadmap.

Questions

Frequently asked questions about M365 InstantOn.

Does this replace our MSP?

Not necessarily. InstantOn operates the Microsoft 365 layer. Your existing provider can continue to handle help desk, hardware, network, line-of-business systems, or other responsibilities. We define ownership during onboarding so work does not fall between providers.

Why is this separate from Microsoft licensing?

The license enables features. InstantOn configures, operates, documents, reviews, and maintains the environment in which those features run. Microsoft licensing and consumption are separate and sized during scope.

How long are we committed?

Managed carries a 12-month minimum per module. After that it continues month-to-month, and you can cancel with 30 days’ written notice. Launch is a one-time fee with no ongoing obligation of its own. The under-25-seat Essentials SKU has its own 18-month term, and Activation is a one-time project with no ongoing commitment.

Do we own the configuration?

Yes. You leave with documented configuration, runbooks, and change history for the scope defined in your SOW.

Does this make us compliant with HIPAA, CMMC, or another framework?

No product makes an organization compliant by itself. The baseline can map to relevant control frameworks and support a broader compliance program. Regulated requirements are scoped against your actual environment and obligations. For a maintained data-protection and compliance program, see CompleteCare Govern.

What is the relationship to CompleteCare Foundations?

InstantOn is the productized baseline activation and Microsoft 365 lifecycle offer. CompleteCare Foundations is the broader managed operating relationship for organizations that need deeper service ownership, roadmap, administration, and ongoing Microsoft operations. If InstantOn was the entry point, it can become the technical baseline underneath Foundations.
