Managing Microsoft environments for WA businesses
Microsoft 365 (formerly Office 365) is a cloud-based subscription that brings together the productivity apps your team already knows, Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Teams, SharePoint, and OneDrive, with enterprise-grade security, device management, and compliance tools built in.
For Perth businesses, Microsoft 365 replaces the old model of buying perpetual software licences and running on-premises email servers. Instead, you get always-updated applications, anywhere access, and a security layer that protects your data across every device your staff use. Plans range from basic email and file storage through to advanced packages with Defender, Intune device management, and Microsoft Copilot AI tools.
The catch? Microsoft 365 is only as good as how it is configured. Out of the box, most tenants have weak security defaults, no data loss prevention, and no conditional access policies. That is where a managed IT services provider like Epic IT comes in. We deploy, harden, and manage your M365 environment so you get the full value of the platform without the security risks.
Your subscription includes dozens of tools. These are the ones that matter most for Perth SMBs, and the ones we configure and support every day.
Business email with 50GB mailboxes, shared calendars, and built-in spam filtering. We configure custom domains, distribution lists, shared mailboxes, and mail flow rules. For businesses migrating from on-premises Exchange or another provider, we handle the full mailbox migration with zero data loss and minimal downtime.
Video meetings, instant messaging, file sharing, and voice calling in one platform. Teams has replaced standalone phone systems for many of our clients. We deploy Teams across your organisation, configure channels, integrate with your phone system if needed, and train your staff on the features that save time. Read more about Microsoft Teams.
Cloud-based document management and intranet. SharePoint replaces traditional file servers with a structured, searchable, and permission-controlled document library. We design your SharePoint architecture, migrate existing files, and set up governance policies so your team can find what they need without digging through folder hierarchies. Read more about Microsoft SharePoint.
Personal cloud storage with 1TB per user, synced across all devices. OneDrive gives every staff member a secure place for their working files that is backed up automatically and accessible from any device. We configure Known Folder Move to redirect Desktop, Documents, and Pictures to OneDrive, so nothing is lost if a laptop fails. Read more about OneDrive for Business.
Advanced email protection, anti-phishing, safe links, and safe attachments. Defender scans every email and attachment before it reaches your inbox. We configure Defender policies as part of our managed cybersecurity services, tuning detection rules to catch the threats that generic filtering misses.
Device management and mobile application management. Intune lets us enforce security policies across company-owned and personal devices, including encryption, password requirements, and remote wipe capability. For businesses pursuing Essential Eight compliance, Intune is the backbone of application control and patching at scale.
Moving to Microsoft 365 from an on-premises server, hosted exchange, or another cloud platform does not have to be painful. Epic IT has been migrating Perth businesses to the Microsoft cloud since Australian data centres went live, and our process is built to minimise disruption.
We start with a discovery phase: mapping your current email, file shares, and application dependencies. From there, we build a migration plan that covers mailbox cutover, SharePoint and OneDrive file migration, Teams deployment, security hardening, and user training. Most migrations for businesses with 20 to 100 users are completed within two to four weeks.
After migration, your environment is managed as part of your agreement. We monitor mailbox health, licence utilisation, storage consumption, and security alerts continuously. If Microsoft releases a new feature or changes a policy, we assess the impact and adjust your configuration before it affects your team. For licensing and hardware needs during migration, our IT procurement services handle the sourcing.
Whether you are migrating for the first time or optimising an existing tenant, here is our process.
Office 365 was the original name for Microsoft’s cloud productivity suite. Microsoft rebranded it to Microsoft 365 in 2020 and expanded the offering to include device management (Intune), advanced security (Defender), and compliance tools alongside the familiar Office apps. If you search for “Office 365 Perth” or “Microsoft 365 Perth”, you are looking at the same platform. Epic IT manages both legacy Office 365 tenants and current Microsoft 365 subscriptions. For a detailed comparison, read our Office 365 vs Microsoft 365 guide.
Microsoft 365 licensing starts at around $9 per user per month for basic plans (Business Basic) and goes up to $80 or more per user for enterprise plans with full security, compliance, and Copilot features. The right plan depends on your business size, security requirements, and which applications your team needs. As a Microsoft CSP partner, Epic IT provides licensing at competitive rates and can adjust plans monthly as your needs change. Contact us for a licensing recommendation based on your specific requirements.
For most Perth businesses with 20 to 100 users, a full migration to Microsoft 365 takes two to four weeks from planning through to completion. This includes mailbox migration, file server transition to SharePoint and OneDrive, Teams deployment, security configuration, and user training. Larger or more complex environments may take longer. Epic IT schedules mailbox cutover outside business hours so your team experiences minimal disruption.
Yes. Many of our Perth clients come to us with an existing Microsoft 365 environment that was set up by a previous provider or configured in-house. We start with a tenant health check that reviews security settings, licence utilisation, mail flow rules, and compliance posture. From there, we remediate any gaps and bring the environment under our managed services agreement for ongoing support and optimisation.
The Microsoft 365 platform includes strong security capabilities, but they are not all enabled by default. Out-of-the-box tenants typically lack conditional access policies, advanced anti-phishing rules, data loss prevention, and proper audit logging. Epic IT configures these security layers as part of every deployment. For businesses pursuing Essential Eight compliance, Microsoft 365 with Intune and Defender provides the tooling to meet multiple controls at Maturity Level 2.
