Microsoft 365 in Mt Albert
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 Mt Albert. Most problems are fixed remotely first; when a job needs hands, a technician comes to you.
Microsoft 365 for Mt Albert businesses
Mt Albert has a town centre on New North Road, the Unitec campus on its western edge and plenty of small practices, tutoring centres, community organisations and home-based consultants. Business premises are mostly modest, from shopfronts to converted houses.
Small organisations here often run on donated or ageing hardware, shared passwords and a single person who knows how things fit together. Getting the basics right gives them the biggest gain: individual accounts, multi-factor sign-in, updated Windows, a proper backup of Microsoft 365 and a written record of the setup.
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.
Our technicians come to Mt Albert offices and community spaces for setups and fixes, and help staff remotely for most requests. Pay as you go suits groups that need occasional help rather than a monthly plan.
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.
Ongoing admin
Starters, leavers, shared mailboxes, distribution lists and licence changes handled as you need them.
Teams setup
Teams and channels that match your departments and projects, plus guest access done safely.
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 Mt Albert 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 Mt Albert: questions
We're a small community organisation. Do we need a monthly plan?
Not necessarily. Pay as you go remote or onsite help works for organisations that only need occasional support, and a monthly plan makes more sense once you rely on IT every day. We can explain the difference for your situation.
What are the first security steps for a small office?
Turn on multi-factor sign-in, give everyone their own account, keep computers updated and back up email and files. Those four steps prevent most common problems, and we can set them up in a short visit or remotely.
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.
Do you support Google Workspace too?
Yes. If Google suits you better we support it, and we move businesses in either direction.
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.
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.
