Microsoft 365 in Dunedin
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.
Dunedin is supported remotely. Our technicians are based in Auckland and Hamilton, so onsite work here is planned project work, booked and quoted in advance.
Microsoft 365 for Dunedin businesses
Dunedin's economy is built around the university, health, education and research, with professional firms, engineering, software companies and the port at Port Chalmers, much of it in a central city full of heritage stone buildings.
Old stone and brick buildings block Wi-Fi and complicate cabling, and many businesses here are small teams that work closely with the university and hospital sectors, where data handling expectations are high. Cloud-based files and managed laptops reduce dependence on the building. Student intakes and short contracts also mean frequent account changes for firms that hire from the university, so leavers need removing promptly.
We set it up the way a business needs. Shared files live in SharePoint libraries that belong to the company, not a person. Teams is organised around how you actually work. Sign-in is protected, mail is filtered and everything is backed up outside Microsoft.
We support Dunedin businesses remotely for help desk, security, backups and Microsoft 365. Onsite work happens only as planned projects, arranged and quoted in writing. Equipment can be configured remotely once fitted.
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.
Copilot readiness
Before you add Microsoft Copilot, we check who can see what, so it can't surface files people shouldn't read.
Teams setup
Teams and channels that match your departments and projects, plus guest access done safely.
Ongoing admin
Starters, leavers, shared mailboxes, distribution lists and licence changes handled as you need them.
Is it right for your Dunedin 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 Dunedin: questions
Can you help with Wi-Fi in a Dunedin heritage building remotely?
We can plan and specify the equipment remotely, configure it and manage it afterwards. Installation can be done by your local installer under our design, or as a planned visit by arrangement.
Do you work with research or university partners' security requirements?
We help you put the common controls in place, such as multi-factor sign-in, encryption and patching, and document them so you can answer partner security questionnaires accurately.
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.
How long does a migration take?
A small office usually moves over a few days with the switch done in one evening. Larger file migrations are planned in stages.
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.
Do you support Google Workspace too?
Yes. If Google suits you better we support it, and we move businesses in either direction.
