CLEAR BOUNDARIES, BETTER DECISIONS

Choose the right capability.
Confirm the right scope.

This is a comprehensive business capability map, organized for service planning. It covers the principal commercial cloud capabilities across the five product families.

What this catalog covers +

Defender security products; Purview data security, compliance and governance; Exchange Online; SharePoint Online and related content services; Microsoft 365 Copilot, Copilot Studio and Security Copilot.

It is not an inventory of every administrative setting, API, connector, SKU, sovereign-cloud variation or on-premises server feature. Related Entra, Intune, Sentinel, Power Platform and Azure services appear where needed for integration.

Licenses and availability +

Microsoft subscriptions, add-ons, Azure consumption, Copilot Credits and Security Compute Units are separate from Simba delivery fees unless your agreement says otherwise. A Microsoft 365 subscription does not automatically include every listed capability.

We validate licensing, supported platforms, geography, permissions, and tenant availability before proposing implementation. Preview features are identified in the relevant entries and require a separate suitability review.

Product capability and service commitment +

Microsoft documentation supports the product descriptions. The use cases, service groupings and deliverables are Simba’s proposed applications of those capabilities, subject to an agreed scope.

24/7 SOC coverage applies to the contracted MDR service. Response authority, covered systems, and support hours for other services are agreed separately. AI outputs require review, and technical controls do not guarantee legal compliance.

Legacy features and modernization +

Retired SharePoint Add-Ins and classic workflows are included as replacement opportunities. Exchange Web Services integrations require retirement planning. These are modernization services, not recommendations for new legacy deployments.

Research and source notes +

Reviewed against Microsoft primary documentation on 12 October 2026. Each capability links to its relevant documentation. Microsoft can change features and entitlements after this review.
