We’re a small Mac-based team (3 users) seeking help to migrate our business email and calendar setup from Google Workspace back to Microsoft 365. We recently moved to Google but found it doesn't align with how we work. We're now returning to Microsoft 365 and need an expert to help us do it properly, with full migration, device setup, and secure, supervised access. We already have Microsoft 365 licenses although they have expired this month, access to our domain/DNS, and all three Macs and mobile phones are ready. This is a Mac environment only.
