Is our Faraday data stored in Australian data centres?

Yes. Microsoft 365 data for Australian tenants is stored in Microsoft's Sydney and Melbourne data centres, ensuring data sovereignty compliance for Victoria businesses.

What M365 licensing do you recommend for small town businesses?

For small town businesses in Faraday, we typically recommend Microsoft 365 Business Premium for its optimal security-to-cost ratio. We'll assess your specific needs and optimise licensing to avoid overspend.

How do you secure our Faraday Microsoft 365 environment?

We implement a defence-in-depth approach: Conditional Access policies, MFA enforcement, endpoint security with Defender, and email threat protection. Our ISO 27001-certified team ensures your Faraday tenant meets enterprise security standards.

What if we have on-premise Exchange or Active Directory?

We specialise in hybrid and full cloud migrations. For Faraday businesses with on-premise infrastructure, we design a phased migration plan that ensures business continuity throughout the transition.

Can Copilot AI help our Faraday team's productivity?

Microsoft 365 Copilot can dramatically improve productivity for tourism & hospitality teams. We help Faraday businesses with Copilot deployment, prompt engineering training, and measuring ROI across departments.

We Migrate From Anywhere

Every platform. One destination.

No matter where your email and files live today, we migrate everything to Microsoft 365 — securely and without downtime.

Exchange Server

On-Premise Exchange Server

On-premise Exchange is expensive to maintain and increasingly risky — hardware failures, missed security patches, and EOL versions leave your business exposed. Our engineers perform a full Exchange hybrid or cutover migration depending on your environment size, handling PST imports, public folder hierarchies, shared mailboxes, and resource calendars. We reconfigure Autodiscover, update DNS records, and manage the MX cutover window to ensure your team doesn't miss a single email. Post-migration, we decommission the legacy server and configure Exchange Online Protection (EOP) with anti-spam, anti-malware, and safe attachment policies.

MailboxesPublic FoldersDistribution ListsCalendarsHybrid MigrationPST Import

Google Workspace

Google Workspace (G Suite)

Google Workspace is popular with startups, but as businesses grow, they often need the deeper security controls, compliance features, and desktop app integrations that Microsoft 365 provides. We use native Microsoft migration tools to transfer Gmail mailboxes (including labels and filters), Google Drive files with sharing permissions preserved, Calendar events, and Contacts. Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides are automatically converted to their Office equivalents. We restructure Shared Drives into SharePoint document libraries with proper permission inheritance, and we retrain staff on Outlook, Teams, and OneDrive so the transition feels seamless — not disruptive.

GmailGoogle DriveCalendarContactsFile ConversionShared Drives

cPanel / Plesk

cPanel / Plesk / IMAP Email

Hosting-bundled email is the most common setup we migrate from — and the most underestimated. These IMAP-based systems lack modern security (no MFA, no anti-phishing), have tiny mailbox quotas, and offer zero compliance or audit capabilities. We extract every mailbox, subfolder, and contact from your hosting panel using IMAP sync tools, then provision each user in Exchange Online with a 50 GB mailbox. We update your domain's MX, SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records to point to Microsoft, configure Outlook on every device, and set up proper email signatures. Your team goes from a basic webmail interface to a fully managed, enterprise-grade email platform overnight.

IMAP MailboxesFolder StructureContact ListsMX RecordsSPF/DKIMOutlook Setup

Amazon AWS

Amazon WorkMail & AWS SES

Amazon WorkMail is functional but limited — it lacks the deep integration with desktop Office apps, Teams collaboration, and advanced security features that Microsoft 365 offers out of the box. If you're using AWS SES for transactional email alongside WorkMail, we decouple and migrate the mailbox layer while preserving your SES sending infrastructure if needed. Our process includes full mailbox export, calendar and contact migration, DNS cutover planning with zero-downtime MX switchover, and reconfiguration of SPF, DKIM, and DMARC to maintain your email deliverability reputation. We also handle AWS IAM cleanup and decommissioning of WorkMail resources post-migration.

WorkMailSESMX CutoverDKIM/DMARCIAM CleanupDNS Management

M365 Tenant

Microsoft 365 Tenant-to-Tenant

Tenant-to-tenant migration is one of the most technically complex projects in the Microsoft ecosystem — and it's where having an experienced partner matters most. Whether you're consolidating after an acquisition, divesting a business unit, or restructuring your IT estate, we handle the full scope: Entra ID user and group migration with UPN domain changes, Exchange Online mailbox moves with calendar and contact preservation, OneDrive file transfers with ownership reassignment, SharePoint site collection migrations, and Teams channel and chat history migration. We coordinate cut-over windows with your leadership team, manage coexistence during the transition period, and handle post-migration cleanup including license reassignment and legacy tenant decommissioning.

Tenant MergeTeams DataSharePointEntra IDUPN ChangesCoexistence

Legacy Email

Lotus Notes / Zimbra / Other

Legacy platforms like IBM Lotus Notes (HCL Domino), Zimbra, Kerio Connect, and MDaemon present unique migration challenges — proprietary database formats, custom applications built on Notes databases, non-standard calendar formats, and deeply embedded workflow logic. We use specialised third-party migration tools (like Binary Tree, Quest, or BitTitan) to extract and transform data from NSF archives, Zimbra TGZ exports, and proprietary mailbox formats into Exchange Online-compatible structures. Custom Notes applications are assessed and either rebuilt as SharePoint lists, Power Apps, or documented for alternative solutions. We also handle user re-training since these teams are often the most resistant to change, having used the same platform for 10-15 years.

How We Support Your Business

IT support that actually feels like support.

We've been helping Faraday businesses with Microsoft 365 for years. Here's what makes working with us different from the typical IT experience.

We don't disappear after the migration

A lot of IT companies set up Microsoft 365 and then hand you a login. That's not how we work. After your migration is complete, we stay on as your dedicated support team. When a new employee starts, we set up their account. When someone forgets their password at 7am, we're already on it. We manage your Microsoft 365 tenant like it's our own.

Ongoing managed support — not just a one-off project

Real people pick up the phone

You won't get a chatbot or a ticket number when you call us. Our support team is based right here in Australia, and when something urgent comes up — like an email outage or a security alert — you talk to an engineer who knows your setup, not a first-level script reader.

Australian-based helpdesk with direct engineer access

We help when business gets tough

We've worked with businesses going through mergers, downsizing, rapid growth, and everything in between. When you need to scale from 20 to 200 users in a month, we handle the provisioning. When you need to cut costs, we find the licenses you can downgrade without losing what matters. We treat your budget like our budget.

Flexible scaling — grow or downsize without penalty

We train your team so they actually use it

The biggest waste of money in IT is paying for tools nobody uses properly. We run hands-on training sessions for your staff — not generic webinars, but sessions tailored to how your business actually works. We show your team how to use Teams channels instead of email chains, how to co-author in SharePoint, and how to automate repetitive tasks with Power Automate.

Customised training for Teams, SharePoint, and OneDrive

We keep your business safe without making IT complicated

Security doesn't have to mean complexity. We set up sensible defaults: multi-factor authentication on every account, Defender scanning every email, conditional access policies that block logins from suspicious locations. Your team doesn't notice any of it — but attackers do.

Enterprise-grade security with zero user friction

We explain things in plain English

We know not everyone speaks "IT". When we recommend a change or flag a risk, we explain it in language that makes sense to a business owner, not just a sysadmin. No jargon, no upselling, no unnecessary complexity. If you ask us a question, you'll get a straight answer.

Clear communication — no jargon, no upselling

Local Helpdesk

Not sure where to start? That's completely normal.

Most businesses we work with come to us feeling overwhelmed — too many options, conflicting advice, and no clear next step. We start every engagement with a free, no-obligation conversation where we listen to what's going on, ask the right questions, and give you an honest recommendation. No sales pitch, no pressure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about licensing, migrating, and managing Microsoft 365.

What is the difference between Office 365 and Microsoft 365 for Faraday businesses?

Office 365 was the original name for Microsoft's cloud-based suite of productivity apps (Word, Excel, Outlook). Microsoft rebranded it to 'Microsoft 365' to reflect that it now includes much more than just Office apps. Today, Microsoft 365 includes the Office apps plus advanced cloud services, enterprise-grade security, and device management tools like Microsoft Intune and Defender.

What is the difference between Business Basic, Standard, and Premium?

Business Basic includes web and mobile versions of Office apps, Exchange email, Teams, and 1TB OneDrive storage. Business Standard adds fully installed desktop versions of Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, plus webinar tools. Business Premium includes everything in Standard, plus advanced cyber threat protection (Defender) and PC/mobile device management (Intune). We typically recommend Premium for remote or hybrid teams operating in Faraday.

Is Microsoft 365 free for Not-for-Profits in Faraday?

Microsoft offers significantly discounted, and in some cases free, licenses for eligible Not-for-Profit organizations. For example, eligible NFPs can often get up to 10 Microsoft 365 Business Premium licenses for free, and up to 300 Business Basic licenses for free. We can help you verify your eligibility and apply for these grants.

How long does a Microsoft 365 migration take for a Faraday business?

A standard migration for a small to medium business typically takes 2-4 weeks from planning to cutover. The actual data sync happens in the background over several days, and the final 'cutover' (when new emails start flowing to Microsoft 365) is usually scheduled over a weekend to ensure zero downtime during business hours.

Can you support our Faraday team if we already have Microsoft 365?

Absolutely. If you already have Microsoft 365, we can take over the billing (often saving you money) and provide ongoing managed support. We will also perform a free security audit of your existing tenant to ensure best practices like MFA and anti-phishing policies are correctly configured.
