Typical clients: SMEs, free zone companies, branch offices and enterprises across Dubai, Abu Dhabi and other Emirates.

Focus: practical, compliant implementations that respect UAE regulatory and data-protection considerations.

Process — how we work

1. Initial assessment - Discovery call to understand current setup (tenant, domains, users, apps). - High-level review of security, compliance and migration complexity. 2. Proposal and scope - Written proposal with recommended platform (Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace), services, timeline and support options. 3. Preparation - Collect required documents and administrative access. - Prepare migration and security plan (backups, mailbox mapping, DNS changes). 4. Implementation - Configure tenant, set up users/groups, apply security policies, migrate mail/data, verify DNS and mailflow. 5. Validation and training - Test mailflow, calendar sharing, file access; provide admin and end-user training. 6. Ongoing support - SLA-based support, monitoring, patching and periodic reviews.

Required documents and information (typical)

Company trade license copy.

Identification of authorised signatory (Emirates ID or passport).

Written authorisation or confirmation from the authorised signatory to perform cloud admin tasks.

Domain ownership proof (access to domain registrar or DNS control).

Current admin credentials or delegated admin access for existing tenants (securely provided).

List of users, email addresses and roles (CSV or spreadsheet).

Any legacy email/archive details (PST files, IMAP credentials) if migration is required.

Note: AL SAHRAA will provide secure methods for submitting credentials and documents.

Common tasks we handle

New tenant setup and licensing guidance.

Domain verification, DNS (SPF, DKIM, DMARC) configuration.

Email and Drive/OneDrive migration (minimising downtime).

Identity and access management (Azure AD / Google Identity, MFA).

Security: phishing protection, DLP, conditional access.

Backup and retention configuration.

End-user training and admin handover.

Security and compliance considerations

We recommend enabling MFA for all admins and users, enforcing strong password policies, and configuring threat protection.

For regulated industries, we assess data residency and retention needs and advise on settings that help meet UAE regulations and company policies.

Typical timelines

Simple new-tenant setup: 1–3 business days.

Small migrations (under 50 users): a few days to one week depending on data size.

Larger or complex migrations: several weeks (depends on mail/archive volume, coexistence needs, and testing).

These are indicative ranges — AL SAHRAA provides a tailored timeline after assessment.

Frequently asked questions

Which platform should my business choose — Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace?

Choose by considering existing user familiarity, required applications (Teams/SharePoint vs Google Drive/Meet), identity integration needs, and licensing costs. We provide comparative advice based on your workflows.

Will migration cause email downtime?

We plan migrations to minimise downtime. For most scenarios, mailbox access continues while data synchronises; a short cutover window is typically required for final DNS changes.

Do you handle hybrid environments?

Yes — we support hybrid setups (on-prem Exchange with Microsoft 365) and mixed environments, including staged migrations and coexistence configurations.

How do you protect admin credentials and data during migration?

AL SAHRAA uses secure transfer methods, temporary delegation or partner-admin access where possible, and follows best practices to avoid storing credentials longer than necessary.

What ongoing support options are available?

We offer packages ranging from ad-hoc support to SLA-backed managed services that include monitoring, patching and periodic security reviews.
