Cloud & Microsoft 365
Cloud services configured properly, not just installed
Microsoft 365, Azure, and cloud infrastructure set up and managed for Australian businesses.
Microsoft 365 is the most common business platform in the world, and the most commonly misconfigured. Most businesses get the basics working and never touch the settings again.

What is included in our cloud service
End-to-end cloud services from migration through to ongoing management. Everything set up properly, secured properly, and supported by a team that actually understands the platform.
Microsoft 365 deployment
Full Microsoft 365 setup including Outlook, Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive, and the full Office suite. Every tenant is configured with proper security, sensible defaults, and the right licensing for your business.
Email migration
Moving your email to Microsoft 365 from Gmail, cPanel, GoDaddy, or older Exchange environments. Mailbox history, contacts, and calendars all migrated with no data loss and no disruption to your team.
SharePoint and OneDrive
Proper file structure, permissions, and sharing policies across SharePoint and OneDrive. We replace messy shared drives with an organised, secure, and searchable file environment your team can actually use.
Microsoft Teams rollout
Teams deployed properly with channels, permissions, external guest settings, and integrations configured for the way your team works. Training for staff so they actually adopt it.
Azure cloud infrastructure
Virtual servers, networking, backup, and disaster recovery in Microsoft Azure. For businesses replacing on-premise servers or building hybrid cloud environments, we design, deploy, and manage the whole stack.
Licence management
Most businesses are on the wrong Microsoft 365 plan or paying for users who no longer exist. We audit and optimise your licences so you are not overspending or missing features you need.
Who cloud services are for
Almost every business today. Whether you are already on Microsoft 365 but not getting the most out of it, running on aging on-premise servers, or looking to move your infrastructure to the cloud for the first time, we deliver the full stack.
Our cloud service is particularly valuable if you are:
- Already on Microsoft 365 but it was set up years ago and never optimised
- Running an aging on-premise server that is approaching end of life
- Supporting remote or hybrid workers and need proper cloud access
- Migrating between platforms (Gmail to Microsoft 365, on-premise to cloud, etc.)
- Unsure whether your current cloud environment is secure or even properly configured
How we deliver cloud services
Discovery and planning
We audit your current environment, document what you have, and plan the migration path. You see the full plan before anything starts.Staging and testing
We set up your new cloud environment, configure security, and test everything against the plan. Nothing goes live until it is proven to work.Migration and cutover
Data, email, files, and users are migrated with minimal disruption. We cutover in a planned window so your team knows exactly what to expect.Ongoing management
Your cloud environment is monitored, maintained, and optimised as part of your managed IT service. Not handed off and forgotten.
Why businesses choose TechNext IT for cloud
We configure it properly
Security settings, sharing policies, and access controls are set up before your team starts using the platform. No gaps bolted on later.
We back up your data
Microsoft does not back up your email, files, or SharePoint data the way most people assume. We deploy independent backup so your data is actually protected.
We handle migrations cleanly
From Gmail, cPanel, or on-premise Exchange to Microsoft 365. From old file servers to SharePoint. No data loss, no disruption, no messy leftovers.
We optimise licences
We audit your licences regularly and make sure you are on the right plan. No paying for users who left, no features you are not using.
Frequently asked questions
Common questions we get about Cloud & Microsoft 365. If yours isn't answered here, get in touch and we'll help.
Can you migrate us from on-premise servers to the cloud?
Yes. We handle cloud migrations for businesses of all sizes, from simple file server migrations to complex multi-server Azure deployments. Every migration is planned carefully with minimal disruption to your team.
How long does a Microsoft 365 migration take?
Most small business migrations are completed within one to two weeks, including planning, testing, and cutover. Larger environments with complex mailbox structures or SharePoint sites may take longer. We handle everything so your team keeps working.
Which Microsoft 365 plan does my business need?
That depends on your team size, security requirements, and which applications you actually use. Many businesses are on the wrong plan or paying for features they do not need. We audit your requirements and recommend the right plan.
Do we need to back up Microsoft 365?
Yes. Microsoft guarantees platform uptime but does not back up your emails, files, or SharePoint data. If data is deleted, corrupted, or compromised by ransomware, Microsoft cannot recover it beyond a short retention window. We deploy independent backup for every Microsoft 365 environment.
Can you migrate our email from Gmail to Microsoft 365?
Yes. We handle full migrations from Gmail, cPanel, GoDaddy, and older Exchange environments. Mailbox history, contacts, calendars, and shared drives all migrated with no disruption. Staff keep working while the migration happens in the background.
