Licence Management & Cost Review
We check what every licence is actually for, remove the ones nobody uses, and match the plan level to the role — at onboarding, and again whenever staff change.
User Administration: Starters, Leavers & Permissions
New starters set up with the access their role needs, leavers shut down the same day, and permissions that match the business rather than accumulating year after year.
Microsoft Teams Setup & Support
We configure Teams for chat, calling, and meetings, and set up channels and permissions that match how your business actually works.
OneDrive & SharePoint Configuration
We structure OneDrive and SharePoint so your team can find, share, and collaborate on files securely, without the version-control chaos of email attachments.
Security, Backup & Ongoing Support
Security & Backup Integration
We layer multi-factor authentication, conditional access where your licences support it, and backup protection over your Microsoft 365 environment, so your business data is recoverable if something goes wrong. Microsoft 365 backup is included on our Growth plan and above, and is available as an add-on on Core.
Ongoing 365 Support & Troubleshooting
Licensing changes, sync errors, and access issues don't fix themselves. Our helpdesk resolves Microsoft 365 problems quickly, so they don't slow your team down.

What Does Microsoft 365 Support Include?
Microsoft 365 support covers the setup, security, administration and troubleshooting of everything inside your Microsoft 365 tenant: email through Exchange Online, files in OneDrive and SharePoint, Teams, licensing, and the security settings that hold it all together. In a managed arrangement, it also means someone is checking those things before they break.
- Tenant administration: accounts, licences, permissions and mailboxes, including starters and leavers handled the same day
- Security configuration: multi-factor authentication, safe defaults, and admin access separated from daily accounts
- OneDrive and SharePoint structure, sharing rules and sync reliability
- Teams setup for chat, meetings and calling, matched to how your business actually works
- Mail flow, spam filtering and sharing defaults kept correct as Microsoft changes them underneath you
- Troubleshooting: sync failures, mail flow problems, sign-in issues and the small daily problems that quietly cost hours
The dividing line worth asking any provider about is administration versus ownership. Plenty of businesses have someone who can reset a password. Far fewer have someone who knows whether the tenant itself is registered to the business, whether anything is actually backed up, and whether the security settings have been touched since the day it was created.
Business Basic, Standard or Premium: Which Plan Does a Small Business Need?
For most Melbourne small businesses the honest answer is Business Premium, and the reason is security rather than features. But the three plans exist for a reason, and paying for the wrong one in either direction costs you, either in money or in protection.
Microsoft 365 Business Basic
Email, OneDrive, SharePoint and Teams, with web and mobile versions of the Office apps only. It suits roles that live in a browser. If your team relies on desktop Outlook, Excel or Word, Basic is the plan that generates support calls.
On Microsoft's Australian month-to-month pricing, Business Basic is $13.86 per user per month including GST, as at September 2026.
Microsoft 365 Business Standard
Everything in Basic plus the full desktop Office applications. This is the plan most small businesses buy by default, and for businesses with modest security requirements it is a reasonable choice.
Business Standard is $27.72 per user per month on the same terms.
Microsoft 365 Business Premium
Everything in Standard plus the security and management layer: device management through Intune, identity protection, and Defender for Business. If you handle client data, face insurer or tender security questionnaires, or are working toward the Essential Eight, Premium contains most of the tooling you need.
Business Premium is $43.42 per user per month on the same terms. The $15.70 monthly step up from Standard buys the entire security and device-management layer, which is why it is nearly always cheaper than assembling the same protections from separate products.
Mixing plans is legitimate and often sensible: Premium for staff handling sensitive data, Basic for a shared kiosk login. Licence review is part of our onboarding, because a licence nobody is using is money spent for nothing.
Microsoft 365 Problems We Fix
OneDrive and SharePoint sync that quietly stops
The file a director edited on the plane never made it back to the library, or two versions of the same document now exist and both have real changes. Sync failures are rarely random: overlong file paths, conflicted copies and misconfigured libraries account for most of them, and all three are fixable at the structure level so they stop recurring.
Licence sprawl
Licences assigned to people who left last year, premium plans on accounts that only need email, and add-ons nobody remembers buying. A licence review is one of the few pieces of IT work that routinely pays for itself immediately.
A tenant the business does not actually control
The tenant was created years ago by a previous provider or a web designer, and the global administrator account belongs to them. Nothing is wrong until the day you need to leave, and then everything is wrong at once. We verify tenant ownership for every new client and transfer it to the business where it is not already there.
Shared mailboxes bought as full licences
Addresses like info@ and accounts@ frequently sit on paid licences when a properly configured shared mailbox would cost nothing.
MFA that was never quite finished
Multi-factor authentication enabled for some staff, skipped for others, and quietly excluded for the accounts that matter most. A half-finished MFA rollout gives the confidence of security without the substance. Finishing the job takes less disruption than most owners expect.
Microsoft 365 Security: What a Default Setup Leaves Open
A Microsoft 365 tenant left on its defaults is not secure, it is merely functional. These are the gaps that tend to appear in tenants that have never had a deliberate security pass, and every one of them has featured in real Australian small-business compromises.
- Multi-factor authentication not enforced for every account, including the administrator accounts attackers actually target
- Mail forwarding rules that anyone who compromises a mailbox can quietly add, the standard first move in invoice fraud
- Administrator rights on accounts used for everyday email and browsing
- Retention settings mistaken for backup, when deleted or overwritten data is genuinely recoverable only within limited windows
- Sign-ins allowed from anywhere in the world, when the business operates entirely from Victoria
- Legacy per-user MFA prompts left in place where modern policy-based sign-in rules should be doing the work
Most of these gaps close with configuration work inside licensing you already own, not a new product to buy. The exceptions are the location and device controls, which need the security layer in Business Premium. Either way, it is also the practical starting point of the Essential Eight.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's included in Microsoft 365 support?
We cover day-to-day account administration, licensing, Teams and SharePoint configuration, security and backup integration, and ongoing troubleshooting for your Microsoft 365 environment. Moving onto Microsoft 365 from another platform is a separate project, covered on our migration page.
Do you set up Teams, OneDrive and SharePoint for us?
Yes. We configure Teams, OneDrive, and SharePoint to match how your business works, so your team can collaborate and share files securely from day one.
How do you keep our Microsoft 365 environment secure?
We apply multi-factor authentication, conditional access where your licences support it, and backup protection, then monitor and maintain your environment on an ongoing basis. Microsoft 365 backup is included on Growth and above, and is an add-on on Core.
Does Microsoft back up my Microsoft 365 data?
Not in the way most owners assume. Microsoft keeps your services running and offers limited recovery windows through retention settings, but a deleted account, an overwritten file or a malicious wipe can pass beyond recovery. If losing your mail and files would hurt, they should be independently backed up, which is exactly the gap our backup service closes.
What is the difference between Business Standard and Business Premium?
Standard is the productivity bundle: email, Teams, OneDrive, SharePoint and the desktop Office apps. Premium adds the security and management layer, including device management through Intune and Defender for Business. For businesses that handle client data or face security questionnaires, Premium is usually the right answer and cheaper than assembling the same protections separately.
Can you fix OneDrive and SharePoint sync problems?
Yes. Persistent sync failures usually trace to overlong file paths, conflicted copies or library structure rather than bad luck, so we fix the underlying cause rather than restarting the sync client and hoping.
Can you take over management of our existing Microsoft 365 tenant?
Yes. We document what the tenant contains, verify it is registered to your business rather than a previous provider, review licences for waste, and close the security gaps a default setup leaves open, and you keep the documentation.
Is Microsoft 365 support included in your managed IT plans?
Yes. Every Total Care membership includes Microsoft 365 administration, security management and day-to-day support, from $545 per month inc. GST for up to 10 staff and 15 computers. Microsoft 365 licences themselves are billed separately. Projects such as a migration or a security hardening pass are quoted separately.
