Business leaders call us when they:

Our Microsoft consulting services are tailored to meet your needs - whether it's planning, implementation, optimization, or troubleshooting. We focus on building resilient, efficient systems that support long-term growth.

At GO Technology Group, we don’t wait for problems to appear - we prevent them. Through smart planning, advanced security, and strategic alignment, our Microsoft consulting services are designed to identify risks early, streamline adoption, and ensure your systems are always ready for what’s next.

To illustrate this, here are common challenges we solve through Microsoft consulting:

1. Outgrowing Microsoft 365 Without a Scalable Plan

"We’ve moved to Microsoft 365, but our environment is unstructured."

A proactive roadmap helps streamline your Microsoft 365 adoption - optimizing licensing, collaboration, and admin settings so your platform scales with growth.

2. Paying for Licenses You Don’t Use

"We’re spending too much on tools we barely touch."

By analyzing your licensing and consolidating unnecessary plans, we help reduce waste and align subscriptions with real usage. As a result, you see measurable savings and simplified management.

3. Falling Behind on Microsoft Projects

"We need help with a Microsoft migration or rollout."

Whether it’s a Teams implementation or Azure deployment, our team leads mission-critical Microsoft projects with clarity, direction, and minimal disruption.

4. Unclear Security and Compliance Posture

"We’re unsure if we’re fully protected in Microsoft 365."

To address this, we assess Microsoft security settings, deploy Microsoft Defender, and align policies using tools like Microsoft Purview and Entra - helping you mitigate risk and maintain compliance.

5. Making Decisions Without Microsoft Expertise

"We don’t have the bandwidth to figure out what’s best."

Instead of relying on guesswork, our consultants serve as trusted advisors - delivering vendor-neutral recommendations across Power Platform, Azure, Dynamics 365, and more.

Chicago businesses rely on us for deep Microsoft expertise and forward-thinking support.  Our consultants do more than troubleshoot — we help you make strategic use of the Microsoft platforms you already have. Whether you're looking to simplify your Microsoft 365 environment, unlock automation in Power Platform, or ensure compliance with Microsoft Purview, we tailor each engagement to your business goals.  We support and consult on:

Streamlined transitions and smarter licensing for Microsoft 365.

We help businesses migrate to Microsoft 365 with minimal downtime and maximum efficiency. Our team evaluates your current email and productivity tools, builds a migration plan, and ensures your data and settings move securely. Beyond setup, we review your licensing structure to eliminate waste, improve user adoption, and make sure you only pay for what you need.

Stronger collaboration through better organization and training.

Collaboration tools like Teams and SharePoint can quickly become chaotic without structure. We configure and organize your Microsoft Teams channels and SharePoint libraries, implement best practices for document management, and train your staff to use these tools efficiently — all while aligning with your security and governance policies.

Scalable, secure, and cost-effective Azure environments.

From hybrid setups to full cloud migrations, we help you harness the power of Microsoft Azure. Our consultants design and optimize your Azure infrastructure for scalability, reliability, and cost control. We also implement governance policies to ensure your environment remains secure, efficient, and compliant as it grows.

Enforce device standards and remote access security.

Protecting remote and hybrid teams starts with effective endpoint management. Using Microsoft Intune, we secure devices, enforce configuration standards, and ensure your workforce has reliable access to the tools they need — without compromising security.

Enterprise-grade protection with Microsoft Defender.

We deploy and configure Microsoft Defender for Business to deliver enterprise-grade protection against malware, phishing, and advanced cyber threats. You gain centralized visibility, automated threat response, and layered security across devices and emails.

Meet industry regulations and protect sensitive data.

Compliance shouldn't be an afterthought. Using Microsoft Purview, we help you protect sensitive information, implement retention and classification policies, and gain visibility into data usage. This is especially useful for regulated industries like law, healthcare, and local government.

Control user access and strengthen Microsoft 365 security.

We use Microsoft Entra to help you manage secure access across cloud applications. With tools like Conditional Access, multi-factor authentication, and role-based permissions, we ensure only the right people have access to the right data — at the right time.

Low-code solutions to automate workflows and gain insights.

Turn manual processes into automated workflows with Power Platform. We guide you through building low-code apps, connecting data across departments, and creating insightful dashboards that help teams make faster, smarter decisions — without relying solely on IT.

Connect and visualize data across your Microsoft ecosystem.

If you’re ready to unify business data across silos, Microsoft Fabric provides real-time insights and automation. We help you integrate Fabric with your Microsoft 365 and Azure environments to enhance data reporting, business intelligence, and decision-making.

Smarter sales, finance, and operations management.

We support Dynamics 365 for organizations seeking smarter CRM, finance, or operations management. From initial planning to system customization, our consulting ensures your Dynamics implementation aligns with business priorities.

Secure cloud desktops for remote and hybrid teams.

Windows 365 brings the flexibility of the cloud to your desktop experience. We design and manage secure, scalable virtual desktops that allow remote workers to access their digital workspace from anywhere, with consistent performance and compliance built in.

AI-driven productivity from Microsoft 365 Copilot.

AI is already embedded in Microsoft 365 — but most teams don’t know how to use it. We provide strategic guidance and hands-on training to help your staff make the most of Microsoft Copilot. The result? Faster writing, better analysis, and smarter workflows.
