Why Every Small Business Should Be Using Microsoft 365 Today
If you’re a small business owner, you know how important it is to stay organised, efficient, and connected — especially when every minute and dollar counts.
Whether managing a team, dealing with clients, or keeping up with admin tasks, you need reliable tools that help you run your business smarter, not harder.
Enter Microsoft 365 — a modern, all-in-one solution that is changing how small businesses operate. You might think it’s just for large corporations, but the reality is that Microsoft 365 is built with just businesses in mind. And if you’re not already using it, you’re likely missing out on some serious advantages.
At IT Sales & Services, we understand the importance of tailoring our services to your unique requirements and providing reliable, secure and scalable IT solutions.
Work Smarter with Everything in One Place
Running a business means wearing a lot of hats. You might be checking emails in the morning, editing a proposal over lunch, and jumping on a video call in the afternoon — often switching between different apps and platforms to complete it.
Microsoft 365 simplifies all of that by giving you access to a suite of tools that work seamlessly together.
You get professional-grade email through Outlook, document creation with Word and Excel, and powerful presentation tools with PowerPoint.
Everything syncs through OneDrive, meaning you can pick up where you left off from any device — whether at your desk, working from home, or meeting clients. It’s a productivity game-changer that keeps your business running smoothly wherever you are.
Look More Professional with Branded Email
First impressions matter — especially in business. If you’re still using a free email service like Gmail or Xtra for your business communications, it’s time to upgrade.
With Microsoft 365, you can use a custom email domain, like yourname@yourbusiness.co.nz, which immediately gives your brand a more polished and trustworthy look.
It’s not just about appearances, either. You’ll also benefit from a generous 50GB mailbox, advanced spam filtering, and easy calendar integration. All of this helps you stay organised and appear more credible to your clients and partners — which can make a real difference in winning new business.
Strong Security That Doesn't Require a Tech Team
Cybersecurity might sound like a concern for big companies, but small businesses are often the easiest targets for cybercriminals.
The good news? Microsoft 365 includes built-in security tools that help keep your data safe without needing a full-time IT expert on staff.
Your files and communications are protected with industry-standard encryption, multi-factor authentication, and real-time threat detection.
That means you can focus on growing your business without constantly worrying about hackers, phishing scams, or data breaches. It’s security you can trust — even on a small business budget.

Save Money and Stay Flexible
Using different email, file storage, collaboration, and security tools can be costly — and confusing. Microsoft 365 brings everything under one roof with a single, affordable monthly subscription. There are no upfront hardware or software costs, and you only pay for the number of users you actually need.
This flexibility makes it easy to scale your plan as your business grows or your needs change. Whether you’re hiring new staff or shifting to a hybrid work model, Microsoft 365 grows with you — without any financial surprises or technical headaches.
Stay Connected from Anywhere
Today’s business landscape is more mobile and flexible than ever before. With Microsoft 365, you’re not tied to your office desk. Everything you need to do your job — from answering emails and accessing documents to holding video meetings and collaborating with your team — is available on your phone, tablet, or laptop.
Whether you’re managing your team from Auckland, working from your kitchen in Hamilton, or checking in while on holiday in Queenstown, Microsoft 365 ensures you stay connected and productive. It’s the ideal solution for businesses embracing remote work, hybrid schedules, or just wanting more freedom and flexibility.
