About SmiKar
Microsoft 365 archiving, done properly.
SmiKar Software is a registered Microsoft Partner and Azure Marketplace ISV. We build specialist archiving software for SharePoint Online and Microsoft 365 - used by enterprise IT teams to control storage costs, simplify compliance, and keep customer data in customer-owned Azure tenants.
What we do
Move cold data out of expensive SaaS storage - and keep it under your control.
Microsoft 365 is brilliant for collaboration. It's an expensive place to keep documents nobody touches.
Squirrel automatically archives inactive SharePoint Online documents into your own Azure Blob Storage account. Chipmunk does the same for departed Microsoft 365 users - OneDrive, Exchange, Teams. Both products write directly into your tenant, encrypted at rest, restorable on demand - without ever holding a copy on our infrastructure.
Around those two we build the supporting cast: a free SharePoint Storage Explorer tool, the Squirrel Savings Calculator, and a body of field notes for IT teams figuring out the same problems we did.
How we work
Four things we won't compromise on.
Your data, your tenant
Customer archives never live in our infrastructure. Squirrel and Chipmunk write into the customer's own Azure subscription - every time, no exceptions.
Purpose-built, not platform-bloat
We build focused tools that solve a specific problem really well, instead of platforms that try to do everything and master nothing.
Senior engineers, every conversation
When you call, you talk to people who built the product. No call centre script, no Tier 1 / Tier 2 escalation maze.
Compliance-friendly by design
Encryption at rest, audit trails, Purview / GDPR / industry retention support - built in, not bolted on.
A bit of history
From utilities to Microsoft 365 archiving.
Started with the infrastructure tools we needed ourselves
Snapshot Master, Azure VM Scheduler and Cloud Storage Manager were built to solve real customer problems we kept seeing in the field.
Microsoft Partner - focused on Microsoft 365
Over the past few years our focus has narrowed to where we add the most value: SharePoint Online and Microsoft 365 archiving.
Customers worldwide
Enterprise IT teams across every region - financial services, healthcare, government, education - wherever SharePoint storage bills are climbing.
