Your Questions, Answered
Can you help with Azure Cost Control?
Lexel’s Azure Managed Service includes reviewing and optimising the Azure workloads on an ongoing basis. This includes reducing down underutilised Azure resources, while at the same time reviewing and tuning performance. Additionally, cost threshold alerts and hard stops can also be configured.
Can you help with Office 365 and Entra (User Identity) Security?
Yes, as part of our Office 365 Tenancy Management service, we proactively manage the tenancy to ensure that the best practice configuration has been applied. Our tools make this an efficient process and the service can also track changes or exceptions made to that over time.
Why do I need to backup Office 365?
While Microsoft provides limited data retention, restores are best‑effort only and come with no guaranteed SLA. If you need certainty around what data can be restored and how quickly, a dedicated service like Lexel Office 365 Backup is required. It provides defined restore points, retention, and recovery SLAs under your control.
Why do I need Office 365 Managed Services?
For most organisations, Office 365 also manages user identities and permissions. Proper, best‑practice management of the tenancy and identities—including continuous security hardening—is critical. Without it, the risk of security breaches and identity‑based attacks is significantly increased.
Why do I need Azure Managed Services?
Microsoft Azure is a powerful but complex platform. Without proactive, best‑practice management, organisations risk unnecessary costs (including bill shock), increased security exposure, and unexpected outages caused by misconfiguration or Azure component end‑of‑life events. Azure Managed Services ensure cost control, security, and platform stability.
