Evergreen IT Service
Keeping pace with the cadence of change in Microsoft 365 is a full-time job. Discover our Evergreen IT service and join the major organisations who trust CompanyNet to keep them informed and prepared for what comes next.
What is Evergreen IT?
Evergreen IT is a world where software is continually kept up-to-date by the software provider. Evergreen IT includes not just user-facing software (like Word or SharePoint Online), but the systems behind the scenes that keep everything running.
An Evergreen IT approach is where you are aware of the benefits and pitfalls of Evergreen IT services, and plan appropriately. By working with a trusted partner like CompanyNet, you can have advance notice of what changes are coming, and ensure your business is ready to take full advantage of them.
Constant improvement is in Microsoft 365’s nature – we’ll help you master that positive change. But is your organisation keeping pace?
As the world moves increasingly into the cloud, businesses are looking for ways to make their operations more efficient and secure. As the most popular enterprise cloud solution on the market, Microsoft 365 provides your organisation with access to a suite of productivity tools, world-class security features and many other powerful apps.
However, keeping on top of new, deprecated and removed features and workloads can be a challenge in itself. You could hire someone to monitor and prepare your business for the change, or you could turn to the experts at CompanyNet.
Our Evergreen IT service lets you take control of your Microsoft 365 experience – giving you the confidence to plan for what comes next.

The Challenge of Evergreen IT
Cloud platforms like Microsoft 365 need a new kind of operating model compared with the on-premises software your team may be used to. If not well-managed, the rapid pace of change will have real-world impacts on resources across your organisation.
CompanyNet’s expert team monitors thousands of Microsoft 365 changes each month. We will identify and explain the ones that may impact your business. We’ll support your digital workplace evolution and help answer your questions and challenges, too.
You will become more confident around your business’s use of Microsoft 365, leading to new ways of working. You’ll gain a clear view of what lies ahead, and how you need to act. And you’ll have an expert partner on hand to guide you through any challenges.
Why businesses are moving to Evergreen IT
Many businesses are moving to the evergreen Microsoft 365, transitioning their staff to Windows 10 and opening up access to the suite of products available in Office 365. With that transition complete, the platform becomes part of your core day-to-day operations. At that point, it’s vital that the right operational processes and roles are in place to manage Microsoft 365 on an ongoing basis.
Cloud vendors now manage updates in a new way, with features and services being launched, updated and retired constantly. This means your software and underlying systems are always up to date. But it can also make it hard to keep your systems and people aligned with the new features being brought on stream by Microsoft.
Preparing for change in Microsoft 365
Change is in the nature of Microsoft 365, so you should expect and prepare for a significant level of change as part of your operations. In addition, you can also expect the depth and breadth of your organisation’s usage of the platform to evolve and change.
