About


Brian Reid is based in Oxford in the UK, though working with companies throughout the world. I am a subject matter experts (SME) in the entire Microsoft 365 stack and in my past spent years being an instructor of this technology to companies and to Microsoft themselves. I have written a number of books specialising in this suite of products as well. With over 30 years of experience in Microsoft and related technologies, I have been helping customers to design and integrate Microsoft 365 (including Exchange Online, Teams, OneDrive, Intune, Defender and Office), Azure Active Directory, Exchange Server and Active Directory and products that preceded even these. Additionally I am skilled at migrating cross-tenant workloads and designing your new tenant in when you perform mergers or spilting out divisions from existing companies. I am skilled with migrating from Exchange Server to Microsoft 365 as well as from other email server products that are available. I specialise in Microsoft 365 implementation, design, security and migration to as well as Exchange Server organization design and architecture, problem remediation and ensuring your IT department are fully able to support your chosen email server solution and cloud services.

I am the holder of both the Microsoft Certified Master and Microsoft Certified Solutions Master in Exchange Server, placing him amongst a handful of Exchange Server experts in the United Kingdom and equally small number worldwide who have both the MCM certification and MVP award. I was first awarded the MVP Award from Microsoft in 2013. The MVP Acceptance Letter and “Meet the Masters” for Exchange Server MCM’s can be downloaded from this site.
