Frequently Asked Questions.
Find answers to common questions about Microsoft 365 optimisation and how Mata365 helps Irish businesses reduce costs, improve performance, and get more value from their Microsoft 365 investment.
What does Microsoft 365 optimisation actually involve for an Irish business?
Microsoft 365 optimisation is the process of reviewing your current environment and making it work better for your business. For Irish SMEs, this typically means auditing which licences are active versus unused, identifying features included in your plan that are not configured, reviewing security settings, streamlining workflows across Teams, SharePoint, and OneDrive, and removing redundant tools or subscriptions. Mata365 starts every optimisation engagement with a full environment review so the changes we recommend are based on your actual usage data, not generic best practices.
How much can an Irish business save by optimising Microsoft 365 licences?
The savings vary depending on the size of your team and how your licences were originally set up, but most Irish SMEs we work with are paying for licences assigned to staff who have left, plans with features they do not need, or duplicate tools that overlap with what Microsoft 365 already provides. In practice, licence rightsizing alone typically saves Irish businesses between 15 and 30 percent of their monthly Microsoft 365 spend. Mata365 provides a full licence audit as part of every optimisation assessment.
Is Microsoft 365 optimisation the same as a Microsoft 365 health check?
They are related but not the same. A health check is a point-in-time review that identifies what is working and what is not in your Microsoft 365 environment. Optimisation goes further — it includes implementing the fixes, reconfiguring tools, rightsizing licences, improving workflows, and providing ongoing monitoring to make sure performance stays high over time. Mata365 does both: we start with a health check and then deliver a structured optimisation plan with clear priorities and measurable outcomes.
How often should an Irish business review its Microsoft 365 environment?
At minimum every six months, and immediately after any significant change — a team restructure, a new service rollout, a merger, or a shift to hybrid working. Microsoft releases updates to Microsoft 365 continuously, and features that were not available or relevant at your last review may now be directly applicable to your business. Mata365 provides ongoing optimisation support for Irish clients so your environment stays current, your licences remain correctly sized, and new Microsoft capabilities are assessed and implemented when they add value.
Can Mata365 optimise Microsoft 365 for Copilot readiness?
Yes. Microsoft Copilot for Microsoft 365 requires a well-structured environment to work effectively — clean SharePoint architecture, properly governed Teams channels, consistent naming conventions, and appropriate sensitivity labels. If your Microsoft 365 environment is poorly configured, Copilot will surface incomplete, outdated, or incorrectly permissioned content. Mata365’s optimisation service includes a Copilot readiness assessment for Irish businesses that want to adopt AI tools without the risk of exposing sensitive data or getting poor results from the investment.
How does Microsoft 365 optimisation improve security for Irish businesses?
Many Irish SMEs have Microsoft 365 security features included in their licence that are never switched on — multi-factor authentication, Microsoft Defender, sensitivity labels, conditional access policies, and data loss prevention rules. A security configuration review as part of optimisation identifies which of these controls are inactive and implements them properly. This is particularly important for Irish businesses under GDPR obligations, where a misconfigured Microsoft 365 environment can create significant compliance exposure without the business realising it.
