Microsoft 365 in Remuera
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 Remuera. Most problems are fixed remotely first; when a job needs hands, a technician comes to you.
Microsoft 365 for Remuera businesses
Remuera Road's village centres host financial advisers, lawyers, real estate agencies, dental and medical rooms and boutique retail, with a strong base of owner-run professional practices. Many firms have long-standing clients and small, stable teams.
Practices that have been in place a while often carry ageing equipment: an old server in a cupboard, a backup drive nobody checks and email set up years ago by a family member. Client confidentiality is central to these businesses, so modernising usually means moving files to secure cloud storage, adding multi-factor sign-in and replacing the backup with one that is monitored.
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.
Remuera offices are visited by our Auckland technicians for upgrades, migrations and faults, and staff get remote help for everyday issues. Bigger changes are planned and quoted in writing first.
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.
Backup
Daily backup of mail, OneDrive, SharePoint and Teams, because Microsoft's own retention is not a backup.
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.
Security settings
Multi-factor sign-in, conditional access and the protections included in your licence, switched on.
Is it right for your Remuera 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 Remuera: questions
We still have an old server in the office. Do we need to replace it?
Not necessarily with another server. Many small practices are better served by moving files and email to Microsoft 365 and retiring the server. We look at what it actually runs, then recommend and quote the simplest option.
How do we know our backups would actually work?
Only a test restore proves it. As part of managed IT we monitor backups and regularly restore sample files to check they come back intact, and we tell you if anything fails.
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.
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.
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.
