Teams, SharePoint & desktop Office, done right.

Why businesses choose Business Momentum

Email and cloud storage stop being enough.

Getting the foundation right is a strong first step. But as a business grows, teams need to work together in real time, share files confidently and use the same tools across multiple devices.

Without a more complete environment, staff end up emailing documents back and forth, saving different versions on different computers and reaching for ad-hoc tools that nobody manages or secures. Collaboration slows, visibility drops, and small technology gaps start showing up in the customer experience.

Momentum is the step from "set up" to "working together" — without turning it into a large IT project.

You'll recognise the moment
  • Staff work from different locations and need to collaborate in real time
  • Files live across multiple OneDrives, local drives and email threads
  • There's no shared team space for projects, documents and conversations
  • People need the real desktop versions of Word, Excel and PowerPoint
  • Existing tools aren't centrally managed, making support and security harder
What's included

Everything in the $299 setup.

01

Microsoft 365 Business Standard setup

We configure Microsoft 365 Business Standard for up to five users — either as a fresh build or as an upgrade to an existing Business Basic environment. That covers licences, user accounts and licence allocation, core admin and security configuration aligned to small business best practice, and the policies that make desktop apps and collaboration features work properly.

Business outcome

A complete productivity platform rather than email and browser-based tools alone.

02

Desktop app deployment and device setup

Collaboration only works if people have the right apps installed and configured on the devices they use every day. We install the Office desktop apps — Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook — on supported PCs, Macs and mobile devices, sign users in with their Microsoft 365 accounts, configure Outlook desktop for business email and shared mailboxes, and connect the apps to OneDrive and SharePoint so saving a file just works.

In practice

A staff member opens a proposal in Word straight from the SharePoint site, co-authors it with a colleague in real time, and saves back to the shared library — no emailed attachments, no v3-FINAL-final.docx.

Business outcome

A consistent app experience, less time lost to setup problems, and a genuinely collaborative way of working across devices.

03

Microsoft Teams collaboration hub

Teams becomes the place where conversations, files and meetings come together instead of being scattered across inboxes. We build a core Teams structure aligned to your business — Operations, Sales, Admin or whatever fits — with channels for different work areas or projects, sensible Teams policies for small business use, and SharePoint document libraries integrated into the relevant channels.

In practice

Instead of separate email threads and duplicate file copies, a project has its own Team with channels for General, Quotes and Delivery — conversations, files and meeting notes all in one place.

Business outcome

Better visibility, fewer lost conversations, and clear context for work in progress.

04

SharePoint intranet and shared files

Small businesses need a simple but structured place for the documents everyone uses. We set up a central SharePoint site that acts as your intranet and shared document hub, with key libraries such as Company Documents, Templates and Policies, permissions appropriate to your team size and roles, and the site connected into Teams and the desktop apps.

In practice

Instead of every staff member keeping their own copy of the price list, the current version lives in SharePoint, is linked from Teams, and opens in Word on any managed device.

Business outcome

One central source of truth, better control over access, and far less risk of someone quoting from an outdated document.

05

OneDrive alignment

To stop the confusion between personal and shared storage, we make sure each user's OneDrive is set up correctly, clarify what belongs in OneDrive (personal work files) versus SharePoint (team files), and connect both to File Explorer and Finder so people can work the way they're used to.

Business outcome

Clearer file ownership, less duplication, and files reachable from anywhere.

06

Security and protection

As collaboration tools grow, security has to keep pace. Business Momentum maintains and extends the baseline established in Business Launch: multi-factor authentication for all users, security defaults suited to Business Standard, access controls around SharePoint and Teams, and Microsoft-recommended practices for small business collaboration environments.

Business outcome

Lower risk of account compromise and more controlled access to shared business information.

Who it's for

For teams ready to move past "just email".

Business Momentum suits businesses that want structured collaboration and shared files without over-engineering the environment. Whether you're starting fresh or stepping up from Business Launch, the result is a connected, team-centric Microsoft 365 environment that still feels manageable day to day.

Ideal for
  • Small teams that have outgrown email and basic file storage
  • Businesses already on Business Launch foundations
  • Staff working across multiple locations or devices
  • Teams that need real desktop Office apps, not just the browser
  • Businesses that want Teams and SharePoint without over-engineering it
How onboarding works

An accelerator, not a consulting engagement.

1

Discovery conversation

Your business, your domain, your users and how the team actually works together.

2

Confirm the detail

Licences, users, devices and anything existing we need to work around.

3

Configure & connect

Microsoft 365 Business Standard configured and your domain connected.

4

Deploy to devices

Desktop apps installed and signed in, email and mobile access set up.

5

Build Teams & SharePoint

Your Teams structure and SharePoint intranet built around your business.

6

Handover

A simple guide so everyone knows where to work, where files live and how to get help.

Pricing

$299 once, then $277.20 per user for the year.

On Essential that works out to $23.10 per user per month, but it's charged as one annual payment rather than monthly — so a five-person team pays $299 setup plus $1,386 for the year's licences, up front. If you'd rather not pay a year ahead, Flex bills monthly at $27.72 per user ($138.60 a month for five people) with nothing locked in. Either way it's the same full collaboration platform with desktop Office, Teams and SharePoint for every person. All pricing inc GST.

Your setup includes

  • Microsoft 365 Business Standard for up to five users
  • Desktop Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook installed on your PCs and Macs
  • Microsoft Teams set up with a channel structure that matches your business
  • A SharePoint intranet site with shared document libraries and sensible permissions
  • OneDrive and SharePoint connected to File Explorer and Finder
  • Clear guidance on what belongs in personal storage versus team storage
  • Multi-factor authentication and baseline access controls maintained
  • Handover and user guidance so everyone knows where the files live

Optional add-ons

Expand as your needs evolve, without replacing the core work.

Not included in the fixed price: email migrations, data recovery, device repairs, network installations, custom SharePoint development, advanced cyber security consulting, compliance assessments and Microsoft Teams Phone.

FAQ

Business Momentum — your questions answered.

What is Business Momentum?

Business Momentum is a fixed-price Microsoft 365 setup package for small teams that have outgrown basic email and file storage. It includes Microsoft 365 Business Standard for up to five users, deployment of the desktop Office apps, a Microsoft Teams structure built around your business, and a SharePoint intranet with shared document libraries — for a one-off setup fee of $299 inc GST plus the ongoing per-user licence.

What does Business Momentum cost?

$299 inc GST as a one-off setup fee. After that you pay the Microsoft licence per user, and you choose how. Essential is a twelve-month term paid up front: $277.20 per user for the year, which works out to $23.10 per user per month. Flex is billed monthly at $27.72 per user with nothing locked in. So a five-person business is $299 setup plus either $1,386 up front for the year, or $138.60 each month.

How is it different from Business Launch?

Business Launch gets you professional email, OneDrive and security on Microsoft 365 Business Basic. Business Momentum upgrades the licence to Business Standard and adds the three things teams need to work together: the full desktop versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook, Microsoft Teams for chat and meetings, and a SharePoint intranet as one shared home for company files.

We already have Business Launch. Do we start again?

No. Momentum builds on what's already there. We upgrade the licences, deploy the desktop apps, and add the Teams and SharePoint layer on top of your existing users, email and domain. Nothing gets rebuilt from scratch.

Do you set up Teams for us, or just switch it on?

We build it. Anyone can enable Teams — the value is in a structure that matches how your business works. We set up the core Teams, the channels for each work area, sensible policies, and we connect the SharePoint document libraries into the right channels so files and conversations sit together.

How many devices do you install the desktop apps on?

The supported PCs, Macs and mobile devices your team agrees on during onboarding. We install the apps, sign users in and connect them to OneDrive and SharePoint so file saving works properly from day one.

Can you move our existing files into SharePoint?

File and email migration from legacy systems is quoted separately, because the effort depends entirely on how much data there is and where it currently lives. We do it regularly — tell us what you're working with and we'll scope it.

What if we need more than five users?

Additional users beyond the initial five are a straightforward add-on. You're not paying a second setup fee for work that's already been done.
