Microsoft 365 in Papatoetoe
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 Papatoetoe. Most problems are fixed remotely first; when a job needs hands, a technician comes to you.
Microsoft 365 for Papatoetoe businesses
Papatoetoe has several local shopping centres, including St George Street and Hunters Corner, with family-owned retail, food businesses, medical practices, travel and immigration services, accountants and light industry close to the airport and motorway. Many businesses are owner-run with family members on the team.
Family businesses here often share one computer login, keep accounts on a personal laptop and use a phone as the business's main system. Simple changes such as individual accounts, a business email domain, backups and a proper firewall make the business safer without making daily work harder.
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 send technicians to Papatoetoe shops, practices and offices for setups and repairs, and help remotely day to day. Pay as you go is available for businesses that only need occasional support.
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.
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.
Security settings
Multi-factor sign-in, conditional access and the protections included in your licence, switched on.
File migration
Shared drives and old servers moved into SharePoint and Teams, with permissions that make sense.
Backup
Daily backup of mail, OneDrive, SharePoint and Teams, because Microsoft's own retention is not a backup.
Is it right for your Papatoetoe 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 Papatoetoe: questions
We share one login on our office computer. Should we stop?
It means you can't tell who did what and one leaked password exposes everything. We give each person their own account with quick sign-in, which is just as easy to use day to day.
Can you set up a POS and office computer in a small shop?
We set up the computers, printers, Wi-Fi and network so POS and office systems run reliably and separately. The POS software itself stays with your vendor's support team, and we coordinate with them when a fault crosses over.
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.
