Crayon’s Microsoft Cloud Suite Services and Support for SMBs

Why choose Crayon?

Microsoft recognises smaller companies may need support with their cloud solutions if they don’t have trained internal resources.

Crayon, are the global software experts, specialising in the optimisation of client ROI from complex technology. We’re one of a small number of highly experienced partners that Microsoft has chosen who can provide technical knowledge and service support to customers.

Crayon’s small to medium business support model

Our support models are ideal for SMB customers with 100-300 seats. All can be managed through a billing arrangement tailored to suit your needs.

SMB customers who want to outsource the deployment, management and support of their online services can take advantage of our licensing services.

Crayon’s service offerings consist of support services and add-on services and include technical and non-technical support.

 

 

In many cases, for the same monthly fee per user that it would cost if you purchased O365, Microsoft Intune, Microsoft Azure ,Enterprise Mobility Suite or Dynamic Customer Relationship Management directly from Microsoft, you gain services and skills from Crayon’s software specialists.

As Microsoft aren’t able to offer a full support package for their Cloud Productivity Suite, our offerings are ideal for businesses who may need additional help and services. Also, if you purchase direct from Microsoft, the payment option available to you is by credit card. Crayon offers different billing options such as monthly or quarterly invoices.

The essence of our offer is full access to Microsoft Cloud Suite Products on a SaaS basis with flexible billing and wraparound support.
