Microsoft 365 in Glenfield
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 Glenfield. Most problems are fixed remotely first; when a job needs hands, a technician comes to you.
Microsoft 365 for Glenfield businesses
Glenfield combines a suburban town centre with small business units, medical and dental practices, tutoring and childcare centres, and service businesses run by locals. It sits beside the Wairau Valley commercial area, and plenty of trades and consultants work from home offices nearby.
Typical Glenfield businesses have three to twenty staff, cloud accounting and a mix of personal and company devices. The quickest improvements are usually separating guest and staff Wi-Fi, replacing an internet provider's basic router with a business firewall, and making sure email and files are properly backed up rather than trusting the cloud alone.
Microsoft 365 is where most offices now keep their email, files and calendars. It is powerful, but the defaults leave plenty to be desired: shared files end up in one person's OneDrive, leavers' mailboxes disappear, and security features you are already paying for sit switched off.
We send technicians to Glenfield offices and practices for setups and fixes, and handle most requests remotely. Monthly plans and pay as you go both work for smaller teams.
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.
Teams setup
Teams and channels that match your departments and projects, plus guest access done safely.
Security settings
Multi-factor sign-in, conditional access and the protections included in your licence, switched on.
Copilot readiness
Before you add Microsoft Copilot, we check who can see what, so it can't surface files people shouldn't read.
Email migration
Mail, calendars and contacts moved from your old system with no gap in delivery.
Backup
Daily backup of mail, OneDrive, SharePoint and Teams, because Microsoft's own retention is not a backup.
Is it right for your Glenfield 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 Glenfield: questions
Isn't Microsoft 365 already backed up?
Microsoft keeps the service running, but it is not a full backup of your mail and files in the way most businesses assume. A separate Microsoft 365 backup lets you recover deleted or encrypted data from a point in time, and we include it in our plans.
We want a guest Wi-Fi for clients. Is that complicated?
No. With a business access point and firewall we set up a separate guest network that gives internet access only, so visitors never see your computers or printers.
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.
