Product
Govern a tenant
I need to inspect a Microsoft 365 tenant without taking a green score on trust.
An open-source engine that reads your tenant read-only, judges it against versioned rules that each state their basis, and ships an Assessment somebody else can re-check.
MIT, read-only, runs on your machine. It produces Assessments; it is not a hosted service.
Publication
Find an answer
I need the command, the output and what it actually means for one Microsoft 365 question.
Verified answers, each with the command, an example output, what it proves, what it does not prove, and the date it was last checked.
It answers concrete questions. It is not product documentation and it evaluates nothing.
Guide and tool
Plan a migration
I have to recommend a destination for a SharePoint estate and defend the choice.
A field guide that goes in order (what to gather, what decides, what does not cross as it is) and a two-minute Compass that reads your answers and says why.
The Guide is the method. The Compass advises from what you declare; it never observes a tenant.
Service
Work with pH7x Systems
I need somebody to read the estate with me and help execute the hard part.
A readiness review that ends with a destination you can defend and a list of what will stop you: one or two workshops, a written report, fixed price and dates agreed before we start.
Optional. Everything published here works without hiring anybody.
What we publish
Everything public, and who owns it.

01 · Who we are
Neutral is the strongest state.
Pure water sits at a neutral pH of 7, the point of balance. We hold the same balance between governance, security and adoption, moving organisations off legacy systems and into the Modern Workplace: deliberately, and without disruption.
pH7x Systems® is the registered trademark of João Tito Lívio, an 11× Microsoft MVP with over thirty years in the Microsoft stack. He architected and led the global SharePoint farm at the European Commission (DG Trade), built the publishing intranet for Ireland's Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government, and has run tenant security, governance and migrations for banking and Fortune 500 clients. That is the standard we hold on every engagement.

Landing zones, App Service, Azure SQL, identity, CI/CD and cost governance.
Microsoft 365
Secure, phased migration of email, files and collaboration, with real adoption.
SharePoint & SPFx
Intranets and portals, integrated with Teams and OneDrive.
SQL & Data
SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Oracle. Tuning, HA, backups, monitoring.
Security

03 · How we work
Method, not guesswork.
Assess
We map what you already have (systems, dependencies, risks) before touching anything. The surprises happen here, not in production.
Migrate
Phased and reversible, with minimal downtime. Integrity is verified at every step, never assumed.
Hand over
Documentation and knowledge transfer. Your team keeps the keys: autonomous, not dependent.
