The Microsoft 365 apps we set up, secure and support
What does Microsoft 365 management and security in Melbourne involve?
Microsoft 365 management means a single partner migrates you onto the platform, configures it for security and productivity, and supports it day to day — so email, Teams, files and the apps your staff use all day just work. Microsoft 365 runs most Melbourne businesses, and Key IT migrates you to it without the downtime horror stories, then supports it ongoing. Our team has deep experience across the Microsoft ecosystem, from a five-person move to a multi-site rollout.
Quick answers
Which Microsoft 365 plan do most Melbourne businesses need? Business Premium, because it adds the security and device-management features SMBs actually use — Key IT assesses your real usage before recommending.
Can Key IT migrate us from Google Workspace? Yes — Key IT migrates from Google Workspace, on-premise Exchange and legacy IMAP email with minimal downtime and no lost mail.
Does Microsoft back up my Microsoft 365 data? No — Microsoft protects its own infrastructure and confirms you own your data, so Key IT adds independent, immutable backup against accidental or malicious deletion.
Where do most Microsoft 365 breaches start? With a compromised password, which is why Key IT hardens every tenant with MFA and conditional access.
How does a Microsoft 365 migration work, step by step?
A clean Microsoft 365 migration moves your mail, files and identities from wherever you are today — on-premise Exchange, cPanel or IMAP email, or Google Workspace — with minimal downtime and no lost mail. Key IT handles the technical heavy lifting so your team keeps working through the change, planning the cutover, syncing data ahead of time and switching over with mailboxes intact.
What does Microsoft 365 actually give your business?
Microsoft 365 bundles the email, collaboration, device-management and security tools a Melbourne business runs on into one licensed platform. The core pieces are:
Email and calendars
via Exchange Online, always on and accessible anywhere.
Teams
for chat, meetings and calls.
SharePoint and OneDrive
for secure file storage and collaboration.
The Office apps
Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook — always current.
Intune
for managing and securing devices.
Built-in security
we configure properly — MFA, conditional access and threat protection.
Which Microsoft 365 plan does your business need?
Most Melbourne businesses need Business Premium, because it adds the security and device-management features the cheaper plans leave out. Business Basic, Business Standard and Business Premium differ mainly in apps and security, and per Microsoft's Business Premium documentation the Premium tier is built for small and mid-sized businesses that want advanced security in a single solution. Key IT assesses what your team actually uses rather than upselling features you will not — and we right-size licensing as your staff change.
How does Key IT secure Microsoft 365, not just set it up?
Key IT hardens every Microsoft 365 tenant with multi-factor authentication, conditional access and monitoring, because most breaches start with a Microsoft 365 password. Microsoft confirms that requiring multi-factor authentication blocks an attacker who already has the password, and the ACSC ranks MFA among the mitigations in its Essential Eight. Key IT delivers that hardening through our managed cybersecurity, and backs up your data independently with disaster recovery — important because under Australia's Notifiable Data Breaches scheme a serious data loss may have to be reported to the OAIC.

Frequently asked questions
Can you migrate us from Google Workspace to Microsoft 365?
Yes. We migrate from Google Workspace, on-premise Exchange and legacy email systems, handling the technical side to minimise disruption.
Which Microsoft 365 licence do you recommend?
For most businesses, Business Premium — it includes the security and device-management features SMBs need. We assess your actual usage before recommending.
Do you provide ongoing support or just setup?
Both. We handle setup and onboarding, then manage and support your Microsoft 365 environment ongoing.
Can staff access Microsoft 365 from home?
Yes. It is cloud-based, so staff securely access email, files and apps from any internet-connected device, with conditional access keeping it safe.
Does Microsoft back up my 365 data?
Not in the way you need. Microsoft protects its infrastructure, not against accidental or malicious deletion of your data. We add independent, immutable backup.
Will moving to Microsoft 365 mean we no longer need a server?
Often, yes — email and many workloads move to the cloud, removing the onsite server burden. We assess what, if anything, still needs to stay local.
