MSC is a Windows desktop app for IT professionals. Use it on a desktop or laptop device. Mobile access is limited to lightweight scenarios.

Modern Support Consult provides precision assessment for IT Messaging scenarios (Microsoft Exchange On-prem, Hybrid & Online).

Now that official support for legacy versions of Exchange Server has ended, MSC is here to fill the potential gap in the public market.

We have consolidated a professional lifetime of experience and know-how at the certified master level into our core intel.

Page 2 · Why you arrived

When a “support case” becomes a program

Your situation spans environment, policy, risk, timelines, and ownership — you need an adjustable program, not a ticket.
You’re here because your situation goes beyond a single product ticket. The real problem spans environment, policy, risk, timelines, and ownership — and you need a path that keeps your IT team in control.
Fit-first exploration, not license-first commitment
Exact-fit guidance (not generic tooling)
The “last 20%” is where projects stall: hybrid reality, exceptions, approvals, and change windows. You need guidance that fits your environment.
Empower IT (keep accountability)
Clear owners, explicit decisions, and runnable artifacts your team can execute — with humans accountable and automation predictable.
A plan that learns
A roadmap that updates as signals and constraints change — with traceable rationale, not magic.
Secure exploration before commitment
Explore roadmap options safely before committing to expensive licenses or an inflexible suite.

Page 3 · Demo journey

Open a scenario. Follow the artifacts. Keep control.

Pick a scenario, then inspect baseline → decisions → roadmap → proof.
This portal shows what a Modern Support Consult looks like in practice: scenario-based journeys with real, exportable artifacts. Pick one of the messaging scenarios below and walk the same loop we use with customers.
Browse all demos →How evidence works →
The demo journey (what to look for)
  1. 1. Start at baseline: scope, assumptions, and signals.
  2. 2. Read the decision notes: risk, impact, owner, next action.
  3. 3. Follow the roadmap/runbook: prerequisites, rollout, rollback, validation.
  4. 4. Check proof: before/after deltas and sign-off readiness.
AI in the demos
AI accelerates analysis (structure, summaries, trade-offs). Humans approve change — your IT stays in control.

Secure by design: transparent controls, trusted boundaries, and customer-owned outcomes

A customer-safe architecture with no embedded secrets, no hidden storage, and clear provenance from assessment to export.
MSC is engineered for trust from the first interaction: the UI is a static export, browser calls stay routed through a single public API base URL, and your artifact bundles are delivered to destinations you control. That keeps sensitive data out of the browser, reduces accidental sprawl, and gives your team a clearer, more auditable path from assessment to delivery.
Explore our security approach →Leveraging MSC Appliance →SWA-safe by default • Least-privilege posture • Customer-controlled destinations
One-line promise
Trust-first by design: customer data remains in customer-controlled destinations.
Outputs go to your workspace, your retention rules, and your governance boundaries.
Trust boundary (at a glance)
The portal is static, calls only the public API, and writes outputs to a destination you control.

✕
Runs client-side
Static app. Most interaction happens in your browser—no privileged UI sessions.
  • ✓Safe for static hosting with a public, browser-facing portal surface
  • ✓Browser calls stay routed through the public API base URL only
  • ✓No tenant credentials or privileged secrets are embedded in the UI
Audit + governance friendly
Deterministic artifact bundles with journey IDs—easy to review, easy to sign off.
  • •Least-privilege design with no hidden dependency on super-admin access
  • •Clear provenance through journey IDs, metadata, and repeatable outputs
  • •Bring-your-own workspace for retention, approvals, and policy alignment
Customer-owned destinations
Artifact bundles can be routed into storage/workspaces owned and controlled by the customer.
  • •Azure Blob / Storage account containers under your control
  • •AWS S3 / GCS buckets managed by your organization
  • •SharePoint / OneDrive / file shares aligned with your workspace policy
What we do / don’t store
We keep (for the run)
  • •Journey IDs, status, and operational metadata
  • •Deterministic summaries and export references
  • •Links that point to your chosen customer-owned destination
We never park
  • •Tenant admin credentials or privileged secrets
  • •Customer datasets and content that should remain in your environment
  • •Long-term artifact storage that should stay under your governance model

What “added value” looks like when it hits production

Representative outcomes (no customer names) focused on artifacts that survive governance.
Short examples of what customers get: clear decisions, proof, and artifacts teams can execute.
Outcomes first. Evidence always.
NDES recovery for a government environment
Certificate enrollment outage · devices failing to obtain certs · operational and compliance pressure
Challenge
NDES certificate enrollment failed in production under strict change control and limited access windows.
What MSC did
  • •Collected key evidence (errors, connectivity signals, template indicators).
  • •Produced a prioritized fix-up plan with explicit owners.
  • •Validated recovery with a short before/after checklist.
Outcome
  • •Enrollment restored with a proof trail (before/after checkpoints).
  • •Faster execution via a deterministic action list.
  • •Auditable sign-off readiness.
Customer identity is intentionally omitted. These are representative engagement patterns, not public case studies.
Exchange Online onboarding for a university
Tenant onboarding · identity & mail flow readiness · phased rollout under academic calendar pressure
Challenge
A university needed a safe, phased Exchange Online onboarding plan with tight change windows, mixed client populations, and a strong governance/audit posture.
What MSC did
  • •Mapped prerequisites and constraints (identity, domains, mail flow, client readiness, stakeholder approvals).
  • •Built an executable rollout plan with decision points, backout steps, and validation checkpoints.
  • •Produced stakeholder-ready artifacts (risk register, comms plan, and runbook-style checklists).
Outcome
  • •A governance-friendly onboarding blueprint that survived review and could be executed by the ops team.
  • •Reduced rollout risk through explicit checkpoints, ownership, and backout readiness.
  • •Faster alignment across IT + security + faculty stakeholders via clear artifacts and decision logs.
Customer identity is intentionally omitted. These are representative engagement patterns, not public case studies.

Page 8 · Request a scenario

Your scenario isn’t on the list? Request it.

Tell us the outcome and constraints — we’ll craft a repeatable scenario with evidence and artifacts.
MSC’s strongest specialization is messaging and collaboration — but we can craft custom scenarios for virtually any Microsoft 365, Azure, or hybrid construct, aligned to the outcome you want. New scenarios can be requested and shaped quickly.
What you can request
A scenario is a repeatable blueprint: signals → decisions → artifacts → proof.
  • •Identity posture, conditional access, access reviews
  • •Messaging security and hygiene improvements
  • •Hybrid onboarding, readiness, migration wave design
  • •Compliance, retention, eDiscovery readiness
  • •Operational readiness and runbook creation
How fast it happens
Short shaping loop to lock scope and outputs, then a minimal scenario that produces stakeholder-ready artifacts — and iterate.
  • •Shaping call: define outcomes, constraints, and evidence sources
  • •Draft outputs: what the customer will receive at Consider/Architect
  • •Validation plan: how we prove success at Validate
  • •Packaging: artifact bundle + journey tracking
Entrance fee (scenario development)
Custom scenarios have an entrance fee for rapid engineering, validation of the artifact model, and safe delivery packaging.
What the entrance fee includes
  • •Scenario definition + success criteria
  • •Artifact bundle blueprint (what you’ll get at each stage)
  • •Security + delivery constraints (client-side first)
  • •Initial implementation + demo-ready preview
What we need from you
We don’t need secrets upfront. We need clarity: what “done” means, your evidence sources, and your constraints.
  • •Target outcome (risk reduction, cost reduction, reliability, compliance)
  • •Scope boundaries (tenants, subscriptions, regions, workloads)
  • •Constraints (change windows, governance, access methods)
  • •Evidence sources (logs/exports/screenshots) or live assessment methods
  • •Stakeholders and who can approve/execute
Request a scenario (RFS)
Use the portal RFS form to describe what you want. We’ll respond with feasibility, entrance-fee scope, and what a portal preview (and any trial allowance) looks like.
Open RFS form →Talk to MSC →
We can craft scenarios across vendors/platforms — the constant is the MSC loop: Consider → Architect → Validate → Amplify.

Page 9 - Virtual MSC Appliance on Azure Local (IaC)

Keep the work inside your perimeter

Run MSC inside your perimeter with the Azure Local appliance — offline/air‑gapped if needed.
In regulated, air-gapped, or sovereignty-sensitive environments, “nice SaaS” isn’t a plan. MSC supports digital sovereignty by offering an on‑premises deployment model: the MSC Azure Local appliance.
What “digital sovereignty” means here
It’s not marketing — it’s a delivery constraint: evidence, artifacts, and operational metadata must remain under customer ownership and within approved locations.
  • •Data residency and geographic controls are first-class inputs
  • •Evidence defensibility (holds/retention) is treated as part of the design
  • •No requirement for inbound public exposure
MSC Azure Local appliance
A self-contained virtual appliance that packages the MSC platform so you can run the portal and its scenario engine inside your environment.
  • •Runs on Azure Local (Azure Stack HCI), Hyper‑V, or VMware
  • •Supports fully offline operation after deployment
  • •Updates can be applied via imported scenario packages (USB/offline workflow)
What customers gain
The same MSC “evidence-first” loop — delivered in a way that fits strict security postures.
  • •Shared multi-user portal inside your internal DNS
  • •Local artifact/evidence storage under your controls
  • •Operational cadence without cloud dependency
Deployment snapshot
Typical deployment is a VM on your chosen platform with HTTPS for the portal and an admin console. Internet access is optional; in air‑gapped mode, updates are applied offline.
Default access
Portal: 443 · Admin: 8443 · SSH: 22
Sizing (typical)
4 vCPU · 8 GB RAM · 100 GB disk (recommended)
See appliance architecture →Talk to MSC →
Note: this public portal deployment is cloud-hosted. The appliance is for customers who require on‑premises control.

LaneMicrosoft Commercial Marketplace (ISV Success)
Billing & licensing(public summary)
This portal provides structured assessments and actionable guidance. Results depend on what is observable and what changes are implemented in your environment.
Results depend on inputs
  • Online scenarios measure available signals (for example: public DNS records) and report what is observable at the time of the run.
  • Guidance describes recommended steps; applying them may require configuration changes, permissions, vendor behavior, and timing.
  • Outcomes are influenced by multiple moving parts; we focus on measurable improvements, defensible choices, and clear evidence you can act on.
How costs are calculated (customer view)
  • Microsoft Commercial Marketplace: Microsoft is the merchant of record. Microsoft handles billing, taxes, invoicing, refunds, plan changes, and cancellation under your Microsoft Customer Agreement. Manage the subscription from Azure Portal → SaaS subscriptions.
  • Plans & metering: per-plan price and any metered dimensions are visible in the Marketplace offer at checkout. Charges appear on your Microsoft invoice.
  • Customization-supported scenarios: scope and pricing are confirmed with you (in writing) before work begins, and only change if scope assumptions materially change.
  • Taxes are calculated and collected by Microsoft. Marketplace invoices are the source of truth.
Fairness & exceptions
Reconciliation is based on the agreed deliverables and the available inputs. If customer-side deliverables (access, approvals, change windows) are delayed after being identified as blockers, we may pause measurement or re-baseline the delivery window. We prefer fast, transparent review and adjust when the facts support it.
License scope
Some scenarios and deeper artifacts are intentionally restricted in public mode. For customization-supported engagements, licensing/procurement and exact deliverables are confirmed before work begins. If you need enterprise-wide terms or invoicing, use Support.
