What is the difference between buying Microsoft 365 directly and buying through a CSP?
ILS Networks is a Microsoft Cloud Solution Provider, which means licensing is bought through us rather than directly from Microsoft. In practice: one party holds the licensing, the tenant and the support, instead of splitting them between a license reseller, a support vendor and an internal team. Seat changes and plan moves are handled with us.
What does a migration from on-premise Exchange to Microsoft 365 look like?
It starts with mapping: mailbox count and size, routing rules, DNS records and any system that generates mail. A staged migration plan follows — a pilot group first, then the rest of the organization once it is verified — with a defined way back. We delivered exactly this move at Galmarine, from on-premise Exchange 2019 to Microsoft 365.
Do you migrate file servers to SharePoint or OneDrive as well?
Yes. A workplace migration covers the file layer, not only mail. At Combe we migrated the full workplace environment to Microsoft 365. Permissions and structure are designed before the move — copying an old folder tree across as-is is the reliable way to bring its problems with it.
Can you help us meet information-security requirements set by external bodies?
Yes. At Combe we prepared the organization to meet information-security requirements set by government institutions. In practice that is a combination of tenant hardening, access policy, documentation, and matching the specific requirements of the body the organization works with.
Do you administer the tenant after the migration?
Yes. Ongoing administration covers users and permissions, tracking platform changes, fault handling and adjusting licensing as needed — either as part of the managed IT service or on its own.
Does ILS Networks work with organizations in Israel?
Yes. ILS Networks is an Israeli IT infrastructure company operating since 2009, with 24/7 support. Organizations we have moved to Microsoft 365 include Combe and Galmarine.
