MICROSOFT 365

Microsoft 365 is a powerful platform—but managing it correctly requires time, expertise, and constant attention. As a Microsoft 365 Partner, GCS takes full ownership of your Microsoft 365 licensing, administration, and day-to-day management, so your business can stay productive without the complexity. 

 

We handle everything behind the scenes—from licensing and user management to security, billing, and Microsoft support—so you don’t have to. 

 

What GCS Manages for Microsoft 365 

 

Complete Microsoft 365 Administration 

  • User account creation and removal 

  • Proper license assignment based on each user’s role 

  • Ongoing license optimization to prevent overpaying 

  • Microsoft Teams, OneDrive, and SharePoint configuration and management 

  • Secure onboarding and offboarding of employees 

 

Security & Email Management 

  • DNS configuration for Microsoft 365 services 

  • Email security and spam filtering 

  • Whitelisting and trusted sender configuration 

  • Spam quarantine management 

  • Troubleshooting email delivery issues 

 

Support Without Microsoft Headaches 

  • Direct escalation and ticket management with Microsoft 

  • No waiting on hold or back-and-forth email chains 

  • Faster issue resolution through a trusted Microsoft partner 

 

Simple, Transparent Microsoft 365 Billing 

 

As a Microsoft 365 Partner, GCS handles all Microsoft invoicing and bills you monthly—no confusing Microsoft portals or surprise charges. 

  • Monthly Microsoft 365 licensing billed directly by GCS 

  • No need to manage Microsoft subscriptions internally 

  • Clear, predictable billing 

 

Month-to-Month Licensing (Recommended) 

 

GCS strongly recommends month-to-month Microsoft 365 licensing for most clients. 

 

Why? 

  • Employees come and go—licenses should adjust with them 

  • Annual commitments lock you into the highest user count for the entire year 

  • Unused licenses still get billed monthly during annual terms 

 

With month-to-month licensing: 

  • Licenses can be removed when no longer needed 

  • You only pay through the remainder of the current month 

  • Cost is approximately $2.50 more per user per month 

  • Over time, most clients save money by eliminating unused licenses 

 

We routinely see businesses unknowingly paying for excess licenses month after month. Our job is to prevent that. 

 

Labor That Makes Sense 

 

Instead of paying for: 

  • A full-time IT employee 

  • Hourly IT support 

  • Time lost navigating the Microsoft 365 Admin Center 

 

You only pay for the actual work performed by GCS. 

  • Billed in 15-minute increments 

  • Most Microsoft 365 tasks take minutes—not hours 

  • No wasted payroll or inflated support costs 

 

Nonprofit & Educational Licensing Available 

 

GCS can now also resell and manage: 

  • Nonprofit Microsoft 365 licensing 

  • Educational Microsoft 365 licensing 

 

We handle eligibility, setup, and ongoing management so qualifying organizations receive the maximum benefit with minimal effort. 

 

Why Choose GCS for Microsoft 365? 

  • Microsoft 365 Partner expertise 

  • Full environment ownership—not partial support 

  • Reduced costs through smart licensing management 

  • Faster resolution than direct Microsoft support 

  • Simple billing, no surprises 

 

You focus on running your business. 

We handle Microsoft 365—completely.
