Managed IT that fits the way you work
We manage your Microsoft environment under one clear agreement—support, security and strategy included.

What’s covered:
– Microsoft 365: Mailboxes, Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive, licensing and permissions—set up right, secured and supported.
– Endpoint management (Intune): Every laptop and phone enrolled, encrypted and patched—new starters provisioned in minutes, leavers locked out instantly.
– Azure cloud and migration: Architect, migrate and run workloads in Azure with cost controls, performance right‑sizing and monthly spend reports.
– Cybersecurity and Defender: MFA, Conditional Access, Defender for Office/Endpoint, threat detection and Sentinel SIEM—watched 24/7.

– Helpdesk and monitoring: Local team, friendly support, and reporting you can actually read.

Intune setup: secure devices, zero‑touch onboarding
Get every device compliant without manual build time. Whether your team uses Windows, macOS, iOS or Android, we standardise, secure and keep everything up to date—so you reduce risk and support tickets.

What we configure:
– Enrolment and identity: Entra ID join/registration, Autopilot/Apple Business Manager for zero‑touch deployment, role‑based access.
– Security baselines: Device compliance policies, BitLocker/FileVault encryption, firewall, Defender for Endpoint, web and app protections.
– Patch and update rings: Windows, macOS, iOS and Android updates on a safe cadence, with pilot groups and rollback options.
– App delivery: Microsoft 365 Apps, line‑of‑business apps, app protections for BYOD, certificate and Wi‑Fi profiles.
– Conditional Access: Block risky sign‑ins, require MFA outside trusted locations, and gate access to sensitive apps.
– Lifecycle workflows: Day‑one provisioning, self‑service password reset, remote wipe for lost/stolen devices, automated offboarding.

Outcome: Standardised, secure devices across your fleet—less downtime, fewer tickets, and clear compliance reporting for leadership and auditors.

Azure support and migration: right‑sized, cost‑controlled, resilient
Whether you’re moving from on‑prem servers or modernising what’s already in Azure, we build a secure landing zone and keep costs predictable.

How we help:
– Assessment and plan: Current‑state review, TCO analysis and a pragmatic migration roadmap.
– Secure landing zone: Subscriptions, VNets, NSGs, Azure Firewall, Azure Policy and tagging for governance and cost visibility.
– Migration and modernisation: Lift‑and‑shift where it makes sense, app modernisation where it pays off—using Azure Migrate.
– Cost optimisation: Rightsizing, reservations, autoscale and storage lifecycle policies—plus monthly spend breakdowns you can share with the board.
– Operations and monitoring: Azure Monitor, Log Analytics and Sentinel for security analytics; backup and site recovery for continuity.
– Data residency: Services designed to keep data in Australian regions.

Outcome: Faster performance, stronger security and clear monthly reporting—without bill shock.
