BUSINESS COMMUNICATION SOLUTIONS / MICROSOFT 365
Keep business email usable, organized, and under control. BCS helps Austin-area businesses with Exchange Online administration, Outlook troubleshooting, email migrations, shared mailboxes, and mailbox-security reviews.
Serving Austin, Cedar Park, Round Rock, Georgetown, Leander, and surrounding communities. BCS can assist your internal IT team or discuss a defined ongoing support plan.
Email problems can look similar while having different causes. A message stuck in Outlook is different from mail rejected by another organization. We review the symptoms, affected users, and available evidence so the proposed fix addresses the actual issue.
Investigate sign-in prompts, disconnected clients, profile problems, calendar issues, and shared-mailbox access. Compare the desktop experience with Outlook on the web to help identify whether the problem involves the client, account, or service.
Review rejected messages, delivery delays, mail-flow settings, and available message traces. Help configure and validate MX, SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records around your approved sending systems. Coordinate DNS changes carefully to avoid disrupting legitimate business email.
Set up agreed support, reception, billing, or departmental mailboxes. Review mailbox membership, Send As and Send on Behalf permissions, calendar access, and offboarding changes. Staff should use authorized access through their own accounts instead of sharing a mailbox password.
Review growth, storage limits, archive requirements, and applicable licensing before proposing a change. Plan email migrations and mailbox conversions around business continuity, data preservation, permissions, and validation. Retention, archiving, and backup serve different needs.
Review suspicious forwarding rules, mailbox permissions, and available email protections. When account compromise is suspected, coordinate identity containment, session review, evidence preservation, and mailbox investigation. Response scope and availability are agreed for the engagement.
Scope, pricing, access authorization, support hours, and responsibilities are agreed before work begins. Tell us which users and systems are affected so we can discuss the next step.
Some shared mailboxes do not require a separate mailbox license within Microsoft’s limits, but the people accessing them need appropriate Exchange licensing. Capacity, archiving, hold, and advanced protection requirements can change the licensing needed. BCS checks the current requirements for your use case rather than assuming every shared mailbox is unlicensed.
See our Microsoft 365 licensing guide for a broader discussion. Any required feature entitlement should be confirmed against current Microsoft documentation.
Watch our mailbox-response guide, then read the accompanying Austin account-response article. A suspected compromise calls for investigation beyond simply making Outlook work again.
Yes. We can review available delivery evidence and configuration. The cause may involve your tenant, DNS, sending application, recipient filtering, or message content. Delivery and inbox placement cannot be guaranteed.
Not necessarily. Shared mailboxes can meet some team-email needs, but storage, advanced features, access, and licensing requirements must be checked before choosing a design.
Yes. We review capacity, growth, archive entitlements, and retention needs before recommending an applicable license or configuration.
An archive, retention policy, and independent backup address different requirements. Define what must be recoverable, the recovery period, and how restoration will be tested.
