It is hailed as a modern-day miracle for all companies, especially for small to midsize businesses. It is also said, companies, in every industry, of any size, can now work together, work easier, and worry less, while on the go; all due in part to migrating over to Microsoft Office 365.

What Should I Ask When Looking For Office 365 Consulting Help?

It is hailed as a modern-day miracle for all companies, especially for small to midsize businesses. It is also said, companies, in every industry, of any size, can now work together, work easier, and worry less, while on the go; all due in part to migrating over to Microsoft Office 365.

Is your business finding that to be true when you made the switch?

For most CEOs and business owners their answer would be yes. With Microsoft Office 365 offering incredibly simple access, easy “pay as you grow” services, and flexible pay-as-you-go pricing options, small to midsize businesses have gained a stronger foothold and competitive advantage in the marketplace, than ever before. Now all industries’ flexibility and predictability needs are met.

But maybe your enterprise has not migrated over to Office 365 yet. You’ve researched online and read many reviews. Everything you’ve seen and heard about; you are more convinced the time has come to move forward and make the switch. But you do have questions about:

  • Pricing
  • Switching over
  • Downtime
  • Employee training
  • Migration start and finish

Or you switched over a while back and are having technical issues where:

  • working easier just got harder
  • working together feels like a separation
  • your worries continue to escalate

What’s a business owner supposed to do in either situation? More importantly, what should you ask when looking for Office 365 Consulting help or what will the consultant ask you when you experience some difficulties accessing your Office 365 account?

10 Probing Questions The Consultant May Ask You When Experiencing Technical Difficulties

Like all modern marvels, we’d hope there is never an issue, but all of us have come to expect problems and hiccups along the way. The same applies to Microsoft Office 365. When you speak to a consultant, they usually have fundamental probing questions they will ask you about your situation.

  • Would you describe exactly the problem you’re having?
  • When did the problem begin?
  • Has the problem occurred before?
  • When the problem occurred what was running?
  • In any other application does the problem occur?
  • When the problem started, how long had the system been running?
  • Is anyone else experiencing this issue?
  • Have you had this problem before? If so, when?
  • Do you know if anything changed after the issue started?
  • Do you experience this issue on another computer\device\network?

Not by any means, is this list exhaustive. It’s only meant to give you an idea of the probing questions the consultant may ask you when you have Office 365 problems or system issues. What your consultant is doing is gathering as much information as they can, whereby they can hone-in and address the problem as quickly as they can. Their ultimate goal is to get you back up or regain full access as promptly as they can.
