Microsoft 365 support · Explained

Who supports Microsoft 365 if I bought it through a partner?

Your partner does. Microsoft's own admin documentation says that if you bought all your subscriptions through a partner, you contact that partner for support, and only your tenant admins can open requests with Microsoft directly. That makes the partner your real support line, so it matters whether that partner has people who know Exchange, Teams and Entra ID, and how quickly they pick up the phone.

Pay per ticket: how much does Microsoft 365 support cost without a plan?

If you don't need a monthly plan, pay per ticket. One ticket is one issue, from the moment you raise it until we resolve it and close it with you, and you pay for each ticket we resolve. Buy tickets one at a time, or as a pack of 10 or 25 at a discount. A pack stays valid for the term of your main subscription with us, or for 1 year if you buy it on its own.

Microsoft 365 support · What we deliver

What does every support ticket include?

Whether it comes from a plan or a ticket pack, every ticket gets the same service:

  • Any issue in scope

    Outlook and mail delivery, Teams, SharePoint and OneDrive, users and licences, and security settings. Work listed as quoted separately (new domains, migrations, data backup or recovery) is not a ticket.

  • A ticket number and updates

    you get a ticket number by email, and every update on the case comes back to the person who raised it.

  • Priority by impact

    a company-wide outage is handled before an issue affecting one team, and one team before a single user.

  • Response in working hours

    Sunday to Friday, 8:30 am to 6:00 pm GST, by email, phone or remote session; pay-per-ticket requests get a response within the times set in our service level agreement.

  • A Gulf Infotech engineer

    an engineer diagnoses and fixes the issue, and connects by remote session only with your consent.

  • Microsoft escalation included

    if the fault sits with Microsoft, we open the case, follow it and close it for you as part of the same ticket.

  • English or Arabic

    support is available in both languages.

  • Closed when you confirm

    we close the ticket only once you confirm the issue is resolved.

  • Not sure which of these you need?

    Tell us how your team works and we will recommend where to start, with a quote in your currency.

Microsoft 365 support · What we deliver

What do we check that internal IT often misses?

  • Admin accounts

    who holds Global Administrator, and whether those accounts have MFA and no mailbox.

  • External sharing

    which SharePoint sites and Teams are open to guests, and whether that was intended.

  • Mail authentication

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC records, so your mail reaches customers and spoofed mail is blocked.

  • Licence waste

    licences still assigned to leavers, or Premium licences on users who only need Basic.

  • Copilot spend

    from 1 December 2026 Microsoft turns on usage-based billing by default for new Copilot Business licences bought through partners, with a default limit of 4,000 Copilot Credits per user per month. We set limits that match your budget.

Raise a ticket

How does support start?

    you approve our partner request with Microsoft's granular delegated admin privileges (GDAP), which give us only the roles we need, for a set period.

  2. Health check

  3. Agreed scope

    you choose what we run and what stays with your team.

  4. Day to day

    you raise requests on our support page, by email to support@gulfinfotech.com or by phone; urgent issues by phone.

  5. Periodic reports

    with managed services, we report on tickets, licence changes and open risks at an agreed interval.

Microsoft 365 support · FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Can I pay per ticket instead of a support plan?

Yes. Each ticket costs OMR 25 in Oman, AED 250 in the UAE or QAR 250 in Qatar, excluding VAT (prices as of October 2026), and you pay for each ticket we resolve. A pack of 10 tickets is 20% off and a pack of 25 is 30% off. Plans suit teams that raise requests every month; tickets suit occasional needs.

What does managed Microsoft 365 include?

Managed Microsoft 365 means we run your tenant's daily administration: adding and removing users, assigning licences, mailbox and Teams changes, SharePoint permissions, MFA and Conditional Access, Defender alerts and Microsoft escalations. Each contract lists the areas we cover and the users in scope. Many customers also add device management with Intune and backup of mail and files.

Do you support Outlook and Teams issues?

Yes. We handle Outlook problems such as mail not arriving, profile and sync errors, shared mailboxes and calendar delegation, and Teams issues such as meeting settings, guest access, channel permissions and Teams Phone numbers. If the fault sits in Microsoft's service, we open the case with Microsoft and follow it until it is fixed.

What is your SLA?

We respond within 4 working hours on every plan, Sunday to Friday, 8:30 am to 6:00 pm GST. A company-wide email outage is handled before a single user's how-to question. Pay-per-ticket requests follow the same service level agreement. Urgent issues should also be phoned in to your support line.

Do I need to move my licences to you to get support?

No. We support a tenant whose licences are billed elsewhere once your admin grants us access through Microsoft's partner admin tools and you sign a support plan with us. Some customers later move the licences to us at renewal, so billing, advice and support sit with one provider. Your data and settings do not move or change.

Can you take over from our previous Microsoft partner?

Yes. You accept our partner request in the Microsoft 365 admin center, approve the admin roles we need and remove the old partner's access. We then review the tenant, list anything left half-configured and agree what to fix first. Licences can move across at your next renewal, so there is no break in service for users.

Is Microsoft 365 support available in Arabic?

Yes. We support users in English and Arabic by email, phone and remote session. Microsoft's own technical support is offered in English around the clock, with local-language support varying by country, so many GCC companies prefer a local partner for day-to-day requests.
