Your business runs on Microsoft 365. Is it actually set up properly?
Most businesses have Microsoft 365 — but most are only using a fraction of what it can do. Email works, files are somewhere, and Teams is open. But nobody's configured OneDrive backup, Intune isn't managing your devices, and your team is still emailing documents back and forth. Otaris sets up, manages, and secures your entire Microsoft 365 environment — so every tool works the way Microsoft designed it to.
Powered by Calendly — your data is handled securely.
You're Paying for Microsoft 365. Are You Actually Using It?
We see it every week. A business is paying for Microsoft 365 Business Premium — one of the most powerful platforms available to small businesses — and they're using it like a basic email account. The tools are there. Nobody's set them up. Nobody's shown the team how to use them. And nobody's making sure the security features are actually turned on.
Your Tools Aren't Working Together
You've got Outlook for email, OneDrive for files, Teams for chat — but they're not connected properly. Files live in email attachments instead of SharePoint. Nobody knows which version of a document is current. Your team is working harder than they need to because nobody's configured the platform to work as one system.
You're Not Sure What You're Even Paying For
Microsoft 365 Business Premium includes dozens of features — but your previous IT provider probably only set up email and called it done. You're paying for enterprise-grade security tools like Intune and Defender, collaboration tools like SharePoint and Teams, and 1 TB of cloud storage per user. But if nobody's configured them, you're paying for tools you're not using.
Technology Should Make Work Easier, Not Harder
You didn't invest in Microsoft 365 so your team could spend their days fighting with technology. You invested so they could focus on their actual work. When the platform is properly configured and managed, that's exactly what happens — everything just works, and your team barely thinks about IT.
We Set Up Microsoft 365 the Way It Was Designed to Work
Most IT providers will set up your email, create your user accounts, and move on. That's not managing Microsoft 365 — that's barely scratching the surface.
At Otaris, we configure your entire Microsoft 365 Business Premium environment from the ground up. We set up Exchange Online with proper security policies, configure OneDrive to automatically back up your team's Desktop, Documents, and Pictures folders, deploy Microsoft Office apps across all devices, and use Intune to manage every endpoint in your business — from laptops to printers to software updates.
We don't just turn things on. We configure them properly, secure them to Australian cybersecurity standards, and manage them ongoing so your team gets the full value of what you're already paying for.

Every M365 deployment follows the Essential Eight framework, with Defender, Intune, and Conditional Access configured from day one.
Adelaide-Based Support
Real people, local time zone, no offshore help desks. Your M365 environment is managed by the same team that handles all your IT.
Everything Your Business Gets with Microsoft 365
Business Premium includes a powerful set of tools — but only when they're properly configured. Here's what we set up, secure, and manage as part of your IT plan.
Professional Business Email
Business email with your own domain, 50 GB mailbox per user, shared mailboxes, distribution groups, and calendar management. We configure anti-spam, anti-phishing, and email security policies so your inbox is protected from day one. Your email is hosted in Microsoft's Australian data centres — always available, always backed up.
Cloud Storage & Automatic Backup
Every user gets 1 TB of secure cloud storage. The real power is Known Folder Backup — we configure OneDrive to automatically sync your team's Desktop, Documents, and Pictures folders to the cloud. If a laptop is lost, stolen, or fails, every file is safe and accessible from any device within minutes.
The Apps Your Team Already Knows
The full suite of Microsoft Office applications — Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook — installed on up to five devices per user. Always up to date, always licensed, always the latest version. Managed and deployed centrally by Otaris so you never have to worry about installations, updates, or licence management.
Centralised Device Management
Intune is one of the most powerful features in Business Premium — and one of the most underused. We use Intune to manage every endpoint in your business: automatically deploying software, pushing printer configurations, applying security patches, enforcing compliance policies, and remotely wiping lost or stolen devices.
Real Collaboration, Not Email Chains
Teams brings your team together — group chats, video calls, file sharing, and real-time document collaboration, all in one place. SharePoint provides the shared file structure underneath, so your business data is organised, version-controlled, and accessible to the right people.
Enterprise-Grade Threat Protection
Business Premium includes Microsoft Defender for Business — enterprise-grade threat protection for your endpoints. Combined with Conditional Access policies and multi-factor authentication, your M365 environment is secured against phishing, malware, and unauthorised access. Configured as part of onboarding — no extra cost, no extra complexity.
Looking for Teams as a phone system? We also deploy Microsoft Teams as a full business phone system with direct numbers, call queues, and voicemail — replacing traditional desk phones entirely. See our Voice & Video Conferencing page for full details.

What You're Risking When M365 Isn't Properly Managed
1 TB
Of cloud storage per user that most businesses never configure — leaving files unprotected on local machines
60%
Of small businesses that experience data loss cite human error or hardware failure — both preventable with OneDrive backup
0
The number of security policies most IT providers configure in M365 beyond the default settings
Every day your Microsoft 365 environment runs without proper configuration is a day your business data is less protected than it should be. Files that aren't backed up to OneDrive can be lost in a laptop failure. Devices that aren't managed by Intune miss critical security patches. Security features that aren't turned on can't protect you. The tools are already included in what you're paying for — they just need to be set up.
