We help growing businesses secure their Microsoft 365 environments, meet compliance requirements, and get reliable IT support from a senior specialist who takes ownership of the outcome. ![Marcus Harris, founder of Datatechs Consulting](https://www.datatechs.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/mharris_headshot.png?width=680&height=850&name=mharris_headshot.png "Marcus Harris, founder of Datatechs Consulting") Marcus Harris Founder, Datatechs Consulting [M365 Administrator Expert](https://learn.microsoft.com/api/credentials/share/en-gb/MarcusHarris-0659/D6842E36056E4E0D?sharingId=FAA7C08977F0A46B)[Endpoint Administrator Associate](https://learn.microsoft.com/api/credentials/share/en-gb/MarcusHarris-0659/D47A24B46E32044C?sharingId=FAA7C08977F0A46B)[Power BI Data Analyst Associate](https://learn.microsoft.com/api/credentials/share/en-gb/MarcusHarris-0659/D8447841689A9E46?sharingId=FAA7C08977F0A46B)[Azure Fundamentals](https://learn.microsoft.com/api/credentials/share/en-gb/MarcusHarris-0659/7AC9CF5400574AA9?sharingId=FAA7C08977F0A46B) THE FOUNDER ## Why I started Datatechs. After years working inside organisations managing Microsoft 365 environments, I kept seeing the same pattern: businesses paying for M365 licences, using a fraction of what was available, and often unaware of the security gaps hiding in the default configuration. Most IT support providers are built to keep things running, not to close that gap. Even where providers have shifted to a more proactive model, that tends to mean upgrade cycles and hardware replacement, not security-led change or aligning a tenant to a recognised framework or governance standard. Datatechs exists to do that work properly. Every engagement is scoped against a recognised standard, most often the CIS Microsoft 365 Benchmark, delivered by specialist engineers, and documented clearly enough that you stay in control of your own environment rather than dependent on us to explain it. I founded Datatechs and lead it, working with organisations across the UK and internationally on Microsoft 365 security, compliance, and governance. Delivery is backed by a network of specialist engineers, so the right expertise is on your engagement, not just whoever's free that week. OUR DELIVERY MODEL ## Specialist expertise. No layers. No handoffs. Datatechs is founder-led: every engagement is scoped, delivered, and owned by Marcus Harris, not handed off to a managed service provider's helpdesk queue. Where a piece of work calls for specialist depth beyond that, a vetted specialist from Datatechs' network delivers it, working to the same standard and reporting through the same single point of contact. ### Senior consultant on every engagement Every engagement is scoped and delivered by an experienced Microsoft consultant, never handed to junior staff or an offshore queue. Where a piece of work calls for specialist depth beyond that, a vetted specialist from Datatechs' network delivers it, working to the same standard. ### Scoped and priced, your way Project work is scoped and quoted upfront, so you know what you're getting and what it costs before anything starts. For ongoing needs, we offer a fixed monthly fee or hour bundles, agreed work drawn down as needed, no surprise hourly billing. ### Microsoft Partner Datatechs holds Microsoft Partner status. All certifications are actively maintained across administration, endpoint management, Power BI, and Azure. HOW AN ENGAGEMENT RUNS ## How an engagement runs. 01 ### Discovery call A 30-minute call to understand your environment, what you're trying to achieve, and whether Datatechs is the right fit. 02 ### Scoped, upfront quote Project work is priced before anything starts, so there's no surprise billing. Ongoing needs are covered by a fixed monthly fee or hour bundle, agreed and drawn down as needed. 03 ### One point of contact throughout Marcus leads and stays accountable for the engagement from start to finish. There's no handoff to a support queue or a rotating team. 04 ### Specialist input where it's needed If a piece of work calls for deeper expertise outside that core scope, a vetted specialist delivers it, working to the same standard and still reporting through Marcus. 05 ### Documentation you keep Work is delivered with clear documentation, so you stay in control of your own environment rather than dependent on Datatechs to explain it. CERTIFICATIONS ## Qualified to deliver. Microsoft-certified across the core areas of security, compliance, administration, and infrastructure.
