What I do
Four service areas. One operator.
Microsoft 365 administration is my sharpest specialty, but the work I take on covers what a fractional IT director actually does day-to-day — strategy, security, business systems, and the integrations that hold them together.
Microsoft 365 & security
Entra ID, Conditional Access, Intune, Defender, and email auth (SPF/DKIM/DMARC) configured the way Microsoft says to, not the way the wizard ships.
Learn moreBusiness systems & CRM
Salesforce administration, Monday CRM, data migrations, and the unglamorous work of keeping the systems your team depends on actually working.
Learn moreAutomation & integration
Zapier, Power Automate, and the connective tissue between the tools you already pay for. Less duplicate data entry, fewer dropped balls.

Hi, I’m Michael.
I’m an experienced IT director with a long career running Microsoft 365 environments and the surrounding business systems — for the kind of small and mid-sized organizations that need real security and operational discipline but can’t justify a full enterprise IT department.
North Pointe Solutions is how I take on that work for organizations beyond the one I serve full-time. Fractional engagements, project work, security audits, migrations, and the systems-and-automation work that keeps small businesses running. No army of junior consultants — just me, doing the actual work.
