Let’s Keep It Simple

At Prestwood IT Solutions, we help organizations navigate the modern workplace—where smartphones, Teams, and Microsoft 365 work together to boost productivity, enhance security, and support flexible work environments.

Whether your team uses company-issued phones, brings their own devices (BYOD), or mixes both, we can help you implement a plan that’s secure, practical, and tailored to your business.

Your Options: Work Account vs. Personal Account

MS Work Account

Using Your Work Account (BYOD or Company-Owned)

  • Seamless access to Teams, Outlook, OneDrive

  • Improved collaboration and continuity across devices

  • Optionally enrolled in Intune for enterprise security

  • Best for managers, executives, and hybrid workers

MS Personal Account

Using Your Personal Account (BYOD Only)

  • Full support for Phone Link (texts, calls, notifications on PC)

  • Keeps personal and work data separate

  • No Intune enrollment required

  • Best for staff who value privacy and simplicity

Bottom Line: What You Need to Know

  • Phone Link only works with personal Microsoft accounts

  • Company-managed phones use Intune, Teams, and Outlook instead

  • Work accounts bring full M365 power, but may include security policies

  • Personal accounts keep boundaries clear, especially for BYOD

Some industries—like healthcare and finance—may require specific configurations due to compliance regulations (e.g., HIPAA). We can help with that too.

Our Services Include:

  • Microsoft 365 setup & licensing
  • BYOD policy design and implementation
  • Intune mobile device management (MDM)
  • Teams and Outlook mobile integration
  • Secure identity & access configuration (Entra ID / Azure AD)
  • End-user training and support
