Microsoft services · Cloud · Data

A Microsoft services company, based in Setúbal, Portugal.

Balance in
the Microsoft cloud.

We modernise infrastructure across Azure, Microsoft 365, SharePoint and SQL, grounded in three decades inside the Microsoft stack.

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 was founded by 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.

03 · How we work

Method, not guesswork.

01

Assess

We map what you already have (systems, dependencies, risks) before touching anything. The surprises happen here, not in production.

02

Migrate

Phased and reversible, with minimal downtime. Integrity is verified at every step, never assumed.

03

Hand over

Documentation and knowledge transfer. Your team keeps the keys: autonomous, not dependent.

06 · Where to start

Start on your own terms.

Four ways in, from reading quietly to a working call. Take them in any order, and stop wherever you have what you need.

01

Explore, quietly

Read the field notes, or run the SharePoint Compass: a free, private read on your estate that never leaves your browser. No form, no call.

02

Weigh the record

Three decades in the Microsoft stack, from the European Commission to Fortune 500 estates. The case studies are just above.

03

Bring the hard part

Tell us the estate and the constraint. We assess it and come back with a path, the risks and the cost, with no obligation to go further.

04

Ready when you are
