Common issues
Common IT problems for Surry Hills businesses
Mixed Mac and Windows creative environments
Creative agencies run Macs for design alongside Windows for back-office. We configure cross-platform file sharing so both work together cleanly, including for large design files.
Co-working teams with inconsistent setups
Teams sharing space need consistent, secure configurations. We standardise setups and manage devices centrally.
No secure staff onboarding process
Fast-moving agencies need repeatable onboarding. We manage account creation and device setup so new staff are productive and secure from day one.
No tested backup for creative work
Creative agencies cannot recreate lost design files. We configure and test local and cloud backups for project files and business data.
Wi-Fi that cannot handle a busy studio
A studio full of devices needs reliable coverage. We design business Wi-Fi and segregate any guest access.

Microsoft 365 support in Surry Hills
Surry Hills agencies and technology businesses rely on Microsoft 365 for email, documents and collaboration. We administer the tenant, enforce multi-factor authentication and conditional access, and manage secure onboarding and offboarding as creative teams change.
Microsoft 365 underpins email, calendars, documents and collaboration for most small and medium businesses. We set the tenant up properly from the start, match licensing to what each user actually needs, and configure security settings such as multi-factor authentication and conditional access. As your team changes we handle onboarding and offboarding, adjust licenses, and keep email and file sharing working smoothly. We can also coordinate with your specialist software or internet provider when an issue crosses between systems.
Cybersecurity and backup for Surry Hills businesses
Surry Hills creative agencies hold project files, client work and business data that cannot be recreated. We layer endpoint protection and multi-factor authentication with tested, isolated backups so a failed device or a ransomware attack does not mean lost work.
Protecting a business means layering practical measures that genuinely reduce risk rather than adding complexity. We put endpoint protection on every device, enable multi-factor authentication on key accounts, review access controls, and keep software patched. Backups are the other half of the picture: if ransomware or a hardware failure strikes, a tested and isolated backup is what gets you back to work. We configure local and cloud backups, test restores on a schedule, and document a recovery plan so you know exactly what to do and how long it should take.
Business networks and Wi-Fi in Surry Hills
A Surry Hills studio or co-working space needs Wi-Fi that handles a busy creative team and keeps any guest access separate. We design business-grade coverage and test it across the space.
Reliable connectivity underpins everything a team does. We design networks with business-grade access points positioned for full coverage across an office, workshop or retail floor, and configure switches, cabling and security so the foundation is solid. For venues that host customers we segregate guest Wi-Fi from the business network. We test coverage before we finish and can monitor the network on an ongoing basis to catch issues before your team notices them.
Mac and Windows support in Surry Hills
Surry Hills creative and digital agencies often run Macs for design alongside Windows for back-office. We support both platforms equally, configure cross-platform file sharing so large design files move freely, and manage mobile devices across the fleet.
Many businesses run a mix of Apple and Windows hardware, and both need to work together. We set up and support MacBooks, iMacs and Windows PCs to the same standard, configure cross-platform file sharing so everyone can collaborate, and handle email, printing and mobile device management across both platforms. When something goes wrong we troubleshoot the whole environment rather than pointing you toward one vendor or the other.
Onsite and remote support in Surry Hills
Most Surry Hills issues are resolved remotely, which suits fast-moving agencies and co-working teams. We come onsite by arrangement for hardware, network setup and office fit-outs.
Most day-to-day issues can be resolved remotely, getting a team back to work without waiting for a visit. When hands-on work is needed — hardware installation, network setup, or a problem that resists remote diagnosis — we come to you. Support is available by arrangement as both remote and onsite, and we keep you informed throughout rather than leaving you to guess what is happening.
Getting started
How IT support works

Start with an IT Health Check
A paid review of your devices, Microsoft 365 setup, security, backups and network that gives you a clear picture of what is working and what needs attention.
- 2
Agree the right level of support
We agree on the support that suits the business, whether that is ad-hoc help as issues arise or a managed services agreement with proactive monitoring and predictable monthly costs.
- 3
Day-to-day help when you need it
Your team contacts us when they need help. Many issues are resolved remotely; we come onsite by arrangement when hands-on work is required.
- 4
Review and plan ahead
We document the environment, explain what we did in plain language, and review things regularly so IT keeps pace as the business grows.
