Microsoft 365 in Grey Lynn
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 Grey Lynn. Most problems are fixed remotely first; when a job needs hands, a technician comes to you.
Microsoft 365 for Grey Lynn businesses
Grey Lynn mixes the shops and cafes of Great North Road with a pocket of light commercial buildings near Williamson Avenue and many small firms run from home studios. Agencies, consultants, health practitioners and tradespeople with a small office crew all operate here.
A lot of Grey Lynn businesses are hybrid, with part of the team at a shared office and the rest working from villas nearby, so secure remote access matters more than a big server. Home connections vary from fibre to tired copper on side streets, and devices are often a patchwork bought one at a time over several years.
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 Grey Lynn teams remotely day to day and send a technician to the office or studio for setups, network problems and hardware swaps. Anyone working from home is covered by the same remote help and device management.
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.
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.
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.
Ongoing admin
Starters, leavers, shared mailboxes, distribution lists and licence changes handled as you need them.
Is it right for your Grey Lynn 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 Grey Lynn: questions
Half our team works from home in Grey Lynn. How do you support them?
Every company laptop is managed the same way wherever it is, with updates, security and backups running in the background. Staff log a request and a technician connects remotely, and we can visit the shared office when something needs hands.
We bought laptops one at a time and they are all different. Is that a problem?
It makes support slower and costs more over time. We record what you have, bring them all under the same management and security, and plan a sensible replacement cycle so the next ones match.
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.
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.
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.
