Microsoft 365 in Botany
Email, Teams, OneDrive and SharePoint should just work. We help you pick the right licences, move your mail and files across without losing anything, and keep the setup tidy and secure as your team changes.
Onsite technicians cover Botany. Most problems are fixed remotely first; when a job needs hands, a technician comes to you.
Microsoft 365 for Botany businesses
Botany is centred on a large town centre at the corner of Ti Rakau Drive and Te Irirangi Drive, with retail, medical and dental clinics, immigration and education advisers, accountants and real estate offices in the surrounding commercial buildings. Many businesses serve the diverse communities of East Auckland.
Practices here often work in more than one language and use specialist software alongside Microsoft 365, so devices need the right language and keyboard settings and staff need clear help when things go wrong. Advisers who handle passports, visa files and financial records must keep that information private, with encrypted devices and secure document storage.
If you are moving from another email system, an old server or Google Workspace, we plan the move so mail keeps flowing. Staff arrive in the morning to find their email, calendar and files already in place.
Technicians come to Botany offices and clinics for setups, networks and hardware, and we fix most requests remotely. Onsite visits are booked around client appointments.
What's included
Licence advice
Basic, Standard or Premium? We match licences to how each person works, so you don't pay for features nobody uses.
File migration
Shared drives and old servers moved into SharePoint and Teams, with permissions that make sense.
Email migration
Mail, calendars and contacts moved from your old system with no gap in delivery.
Security settings
Multi-factor sign-in, conditional access and the protections included in your licence, switched on.
Teams setup
Teams and channels that match your departments and projects, plus guest access done safely.
Copilot readiness
Before you add Microsoft Copilot, we check who can see what, so it can't surface files people shouldn't read.
Is it right for your Botany office?
We can help if:
- You are still on an old email server or a hosting company's mail
- Company files live on one person's laptop or OneDrive
- You are paying for licences you don't understand
- You are moving from Google Workspace
- You want to use Copilot but aren't sure your data is ready
How getting started works
- Free IT health check. We look at your devices, accounts, backups and network and tell you what we find, in plain English.
- Clear proposal. A written monthly price per user and a list of any fixes, with nothing hidden.
- Handover. We collect admin access and documentation from your current provider and keep your team working.
- Day-one fixes. Security gaps, failed backups and urgent risks are dealt with first.
Microsoft 365 in Botany: questions
Can you set up computers for staff who work in more than one language?
Yes. Windows and Microsoft 365 support many languages and keyboard layouts, and we set each person's device up the way they work while keeping security and updates consistent.
We handle immigration documents for clients. How should we store them?
In secure cloud storage with permissions set by role, not in email attachments or on desktops. Add multi-factor sign-in and a tested backup, and lost laptops stop being a privacy risk.
Can you buy the licences for us?
Yes, or you can keep buying them yourself. Either way we manage them and make sure you aren't paying for unused seats.
Will we lose email during the move?
No. We copy existing mail first, then switch delivery at a quiet time and copy the last few messages, so nothing is lost.
Which Microsoft 365 plan do we need?
Most offices need Business Standard for the desktop apps and Teams, or Business Premium if they want stronger security and device management. Frontline and Basic suit staff who only need email.
Is Microsoft 365 backed up already?
Microsoft keeps deleted items for a limited time. That is not a backup. A separate backup protects you from accidental deletion, ransomware and departing staff.
