Microsoft 365 in Ellerslie
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 Ellerslie. Most problems are fixed remotely first; when a job needs hands, a technician comes to you.
Microsoft 365 for Ellerslie businesses
Ellerslie's office parks beside the Southern Motorway and around the train station house regional head offices, insurance and finance teams, engineering consultancies and health organisations, while the village and racecourse add hospitality and events businesses. Floor plates are larger and newer than in the inner suburbs.
Modern buildings here usually have structured cabling and a comms room, but tenants inherit whatever the last fit-out left behind: unlabelled patch panels, switches nobody owns and meeting rooms with screens that do not talk to Teams. Hybrid work means video meeting rooms, desk booking and docking stations are now part of everyday IT.
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.
Our technicians attend Ellerslie offices for fit-outs, meeting room setups and network work, and support staff remotely for daily issues. Moves and rollouts are scheduled and quoted in writing beforehand.
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.
Backup
Daily backup of mail, OneDrive, SharePoint and Teams, because Microsoft's own retention is not a backup.
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.
Email migration
Mail, calendars and contacts moved from your old system with no gap in delivery.
File migration
Shared drives and old servers moved into SharePoint and Teams, with permissions that make sense.
Is it right for your Ellerslie 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 Ellerslie: questions
We inherited an untidy comms room from the last tenant. Can you sort it?
Yes. We trace and label the cabling, identify which equipment is yours, remove what is not needed and document the result so future changes are simple. The work is quoted before we start.
Can you set up our meeting rooms for Microsoft Teams?
We set up Teams-ready rooms with the right camera, microphone and screen for the room size, test them with your staff and keep them updated. Equipment and installation are quoted in writing first.
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.
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.
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.
