Microsoft 365 in Silverdale
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 Silverdale. Most problems are fixed remotely first; when a job needs hands, a technician comes to you.
Microsoft 365 for Silverdale businesses
Silverdale has grown quickly beside State Highway 1 at the start of the Hibiscus Coast, with new business parks, trade suppliers, storage and logistics, a retail centre and medical services serving the Millwater and Orewa growth areas. Many buildings are recent and occupied by businesses that relocated north.
New commercial buildings usually come with fibre and a blank comms room, which is the ideal time to plan cabling, firewall, Wi-Fi and CCTV properly rather than adding them piecemeal. Businesses relocating here also need their internet ordered early, because a new connection can take a while to activate in a just-finished building.
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.
Our Auckland technicians travel to Silverdale for fit-outs, network installs and ongoing onsite work, with everyday support provided remotely. New premises setups are planned and quoted in writing.
What's included

Basic, Standard or Premium? We match licences to how each person works, so you don't pay for features nobody uses.

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.
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 Silverdale 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 Silverdale: questions
We're fitting out a new building in Silverdale. When should IT be involved?
Before the walls are lined. We can specify data points, the comms cabinet, Wi-Fi locations and CCTV positions so the cabling goes in once. Our design and installation are quoted in writing.
How early should we order internet for a new building?
As soon as you have an address and a move date. New connections can take several weeks, so we order early and arrange a temporary mobile connection if fibre is not ready in time.
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.
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.
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.
