Microsoft 365 in Wellington
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.
Wellington is supported remotely. Our technicians are based in Auckland and Hamilton, so onsite work here is planned project work, booked and quoted in advance.
Microsoft 365 for Wellington businesses
Wellington's compact central city is dominated by government agencies, policy consultancies, law firms, professional bodies, membership organisations and technology companies, with creative and film businesses in the suburbs. Office space ranges from modern towers on Lambton Quay to older buildings that have been strengthened.
Seismic risk shapes office decisions here: businesses move when buildings are reassessed, so IT that lives in the cloud with managed laptops lets a team relocate quickly. Firms working with government often face security questionnaires and expectations about multi-factor sign-in, patching and data location.
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.
We support Wellington offices remotely for help desk, security, Microsoft 365 and device management. Onsite work in Wellington is limited to planned projects by arrangement, 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.
Copilot readiness
Before you add Microsoft Copilot, we check who can see what, so it can't surface files people shouldn't read.
Backup
Daily backup of mail, OneDrive, SharePoint and Teams, because Microsoft's own retention is not a backup.
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.
File migration
Shared drives and old servers moved into SharePoint and Teams, with permissions that make sense.
Is it right for your Wellington 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 Wellington: questions
Can a Wellington office use Office IT without local technicians?
Yes, for most needs. Help desk, security, Microsoft 365, backups and laptop management all work remotely. For physical work such as cabling, we arrange planned visits or work with a local installer and coordinate it.
We may need to move if our building is reassessed. How do we prepare?
Keep files in Microsoft 365, use managed laptops and avoid relying on an onsite server. Then a move is mostly about connecting to the new internet, which we can plan 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.
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.
