Azure & Migration
Azure infrastructure, application hosting, cloud migration and pragmatic modernisation.
Microsoft 365 & SharePoint
Tenant administration, licensing, SharePoint Online and day-to-day Microsoft 365 improvement.
Identity & Remote Access
Entra ID, MFA, Conditional Access, AVD and secure access for office, hybrid and remote staff.
Managed Consultancy
Ongoing Microsoft infrastructure and cloud help without needing a full internal team.
Telephony & 3CX
Business phone systems, call routing, remote calling and ongoing 3CX administration.
On-premises & Hybrid Infrastructure
Keep the parts that still need to stay local, and connect them properly.
Not everything needs to move to Azure. Some organisations need a practical mix of local infrastructure, Microsoft 365 and cloud services. Latchman Consulting helps improve and modernise that mixed environment rather than forcing a cloud-only answer.
- Windows Server
- Active Directory
- Local business applications
- File services
- Server infrastructure
- Networking
- VPN
- Entra Connect
- Hybrid identity
- Connectivity between on-premises and Azure
Azure & Cloud Migration
Move the right workloads to Azure, not simply everything.
Azure can be a good destination for servers, line-of-business applications and SQL workloads, but only when it makes technical and commercial sense. Where a full migration is not practical, we help plan an interim arrangement rather than forcing an unreliable one.
- Azure infrastructure
- Virtual machines
- Application hosting
- SQL and supporting workloads
- On-premises to Azure migration
- Legacy application hosting
- Networking and connectivity
- Azure clean-up and simplification
- Cloud cost optimisation
Microsoft 365 & SharePoint
Get more value out of the Microsoft 365 licences you already pay for.
Many small organisations have Microsoft 365 features sitting unused or under-managed. We help tidy the tenant, rationalise licences, improve administration and make practical use of SharePoint and OneDrive where they fit the business.
- Tenant administration
- Licensing review and rationalisation
- Exchange Online
- SharePoint Online setup
- Document libraries
- Permissions and access
- Microsoft 365 integration
- OneDrive
- Security configuration
Real-world example
Worth’s Motor Services
Worth’s relied on a business-critical physical server in the back office, creating a genuine single point of failure. Latchman Consulting has been helping modernise the environment with Azure-hosted workloads, improved remote access, Microsoft 365 licence management and practical SharePoint adoption.
Identity, Security & Remote Access
Help staff reach the systems they need, securely and reliably.
Identity and remote access are often where day-to-day friction shows up first. We help put Entra ID, MFA, Conditional Access, VPN and Azure Virtual Desktop on a firmer footing so office, hybrid and remote users can work without unnecessary complexity.
- Microsoft Entra ID
- Multi-factor authentication (MFA)
- Conditional Access
- Hybrid identity
- Microsoft Entra Connect
- Azure Virtual Desktop
- VPN connectivity
- Secure remote access
- Hybrid-working solutions
Managed Consultancy
Ongoing help for organisations that need experience, not a large internal IT team.
Some clients need a one-off project. Others want someone to stay close to the environment and keep things moving. Latchman Consulting can provide ongoing administration, technical advice and improvement work across Microsoft infrastructure, hybrid and cloud environments.
- Ongoing administration
- Security improvement
- Automation where appropriate
- Licensing support
- Technical advisory
- Problem-solving across Microsoft infrastructure
- Backup and recovery planning
Business Telephony & 3CX
A phone system that works in the office, at home and on the move.
Latchman Consulting also provides 3CX-based business telephony, giving smaller organisations a practical way to handle extensions, call routing and remote calling without depending on an old on-premises phone setup.
- 3CX deployment
- Modern business phone systems
- Remote and hybrid calling
- Extensions and call routing
- Voicemail and user setup
- Administration and ongoing management
Not sure which service bucket your problem sits in?
That is normal. Start with the problem, not the product name, and we can work out whether it is an on-premises, hybrid, Microsoft 365, Azure, remote-access or telephony issue.
