Microsoft 365 in Takanini
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 Takanini. Most problems are fixed remotely first; when a job needs hands, a technician comes to you.
Microsoft 365 for Takanini businesses
Takanini has grown from farmland into a mix of new housing and business parks along Great South Road and near the Southern Motorway, with trade suppliers, distribution, manufacturing, automotive businesses and service companies, plus new retail and medical centres for the growing population.
New business units here usually arrive with fibre but little else, and owners often fill them with whatever router and Wi-Fi the internet provider supplies. Setting up a business firewall, proper Wi-Fi for the workshop or warehouse, and CCTV on its own network at the start avoids rework as the business grows.
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.
Technicians come to Takanini sites for new setups, networks, CCTV and computers, and handle everyday requests remotely. New premises work is 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.
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.
Backup
Daily backup of mail, OneDrive, SharePoint and Teams, because Microsoft's own retention is not a backup.
File migration
Shared drives and old servers moved into SharePoint and Teams, with permissions that make sense.
Teams setup
Teams and channels that match your departments and projects, plus guest access done safely.
Is it right for your Takanini 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 Takanini: questions
We're moving into a new unit in Takanini. What should the IT include?
A business firewall, Wi-Fi that covers the office and workshop, enough data points, a small comms cabinet and, if needed, CCTV on a separate network. We plan it with you and quote before work starts.
Can our CCTV be viewed from our phones securely?
Yes, set up properly through the manufacturer's secure app or a VPN, with strong passwords and updates, rather than opening the recorder directly to the internet.
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.
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.
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.
