What yoko:10 does

yoko:10 Ltd is a UK-based boutique consultancy that delivers advisory, implementation, and managed services exclusively within the Microsoft 365 ecosystem. Founded in 2006 and headquartered in Sheffield, the firm targets two parallel customer segments: end-user organizations that have purchased Microsoft 365 licenses but need expert help with deployment, configuration, governance, and adoption; and other Microsoft partners that require specialist delivery capacity for complex intranets, governance, or migration projects. The current team consists of approximately seven named individuals — Director Alex, consultant Mike, Modern Workplace Consultant Janice, consultants Jack and Ben, Power Platform Consultant Steve, Project Manager Katie — supplemented by an office dog.

The company's offerings are organized as a catalogue of discrete services rather than a single software product. Core modules include Microsoft 365 planning and deployment, Microsoft Teams and Viva rollouts, SharePoint architecture and modern intranets (delivered on SharePoint Online with the Mozzaik 365 or Valo add-on layers), Power Apps and Power Automate development, Yammer launch, data classification and protection (Azure Information Protection, sensitivity labels, DLP), data retention, and a migration suite covering file-server-to-Microsoft 365, SharePoint on-premises-to-SharePoint Online, and tenant-to-tenant transitions. The technical layer also includes Rencore Governance for ongoing monitoring. Recurring managed services — "Experts On Call" banked consultancy retainers (from £6,750+VAT/year) and "Managed Governance" (from £5,750+VAT/year including the Rencore platform subscription) — sit alongside project-based engagements with minimum pricing ranging from £2,670 to £8,999+VAT and typical durations of 2-6 weeks.

The commercial model is a mix of fixed-price professional services projects and annual subscription retainers, sold through a direct consultancy-led sales motion with leads generated via website content, case studies, organic search, and word-of-mouth within the Microsoft partner ecosystem. Named customers include Social Work England (government), SWO (logistics), Aryzta (food manufacturing), and Specialist Risk Group (insurance), with delivery reach extending into Europe. The firm has no disclosed external funding, no acquisitions, and no public financial statements; it operates as a privately held, founder-owned boutique.
