Microsoft 365

Productivity, security and collaboration in one environment

Microsoft 365 sits at the centre of modern business operations. Email, collaboration, file storage, identity and security all run through it every day. When it is structured and managed correctly, it improves productivity and reduces risk. When it is not, it becomes a source of confusion, overspend and exposure.

Affinity MSP provides Microsoft 365 Managed Services across Melbourne and Australia, covering licensing, configuration, security, backup and ongoing support, so your environment stays secure, organised and aligned with how your business operates.

Microsoft provides the platform. We make sure it works properly for you.

  • Australian-based support
  • Microsoft Partner
  • Enterprise standards

Common Microsoft 365 issues we see

When Microsoft 365 is treated like a subscription instead of a managed environment, the cracks show up quickly.

Your clinical system slows down at peak times
Plans do not match how people actually work.

Default configurations
Email, Teams and SharePoint left as-is.

Security not enabled
Features included in licences but never monitored.

No independent backup
Recovery becomes guesswork when data is lost.

Popular Microsoft 365 licenses we manage

Licensing is rarely one-size-fits-all. These are three common starting points for Australian businesses, we then tailor based on roles, security requirements and budget.
