Cybersecurity and data protection

Identity, endpoint security, patching, backup and DLP are part of Managed IT. SOC, MDR and Essential Eight work are available when you need more.

AI, automation and connected solutions

We design and deliver AI agents, workflow automation and integrations that work with business systems and information, from targeted process improvements through to broader connected business solutions.

Who we work with

Built for how Sydney businesses actually run

Our clients across Greater Sydney and regional NSW rely on technology to serve customers, run projects, protect information and keep people connected across offices, sites and suppliers. Responsive business IT support matters, but so does what sits behind it: Microsoft 365, security, infrastructure, networks, vendors and the ability to keep the environment moving forward.

Which sounds like you?
01

Property and construction

Head office, site offices and project teams need secure access to documents, drawings and systems wherever the work is.

We keep devices, connectivity and Microsoft 365 consistent as projects start and finish.

Managed IT operation

What’s included

Managed IT covers the technology people rely on every day and the systems behind it.

01Users and business IT supportUser support, access requests, onboarding, offboarding, application coordination and escalation. Routine issues are handled efficiently, while repeated or complex problems move into proper investigation rather than another workaround.Our service desk uses AI-enhanced capabilities and automation to support request handling, triage and technical knowledge.
02Microsoft 365 and identityMicrosoft 365, Entra ID, Exchange Online, Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive, MFA, Conditional Access, permissions, administrative roles and user lifecycle. The platform is managed as a business environment, not a collection of licences.
03Endpoints and Modern WorkplaceDevice management, endpoint visibility, patching, configuration standards, security controls and support across managed devices and users working from different locations.
04Cloud, infrastructure and networksAzure, cloud platforms, servers, storage, virtualisation, firewalls, connectivity, Wi-Fi, branch networks, SD-WAN and remote access.Where an organisation operates across multiple sites, our networking capability sits alongside the Managed IT service rather than becoming another provider for the client to coordinate.Secure Networking →
05Backup and recoveryBackup oversight, alerting, restore visibility, recovery dependencies and escalation, with attention on whether the business can recover what matters when it needs to. A successful scheduled job is not the same as knowing the business can recover.
06Vendors and carriersCoordination across carriers, software vendors, hardware suppliers, cloud providers and specialist application partners.When an issue crosses suppliers, we stay with the technical problem rather than returning the coordination burden to the client.
07Documentation, lifecycle and improvementDocumentation, known issues, lifecycle risks, recurring problems and planned work remain visible alongside day-to-day support.Ageing technology, licensing decisions and improvement work therefore have somewhere to be managed rather than disappearing behind the next ticket.
08Cybersecurity and data protectionIdentity, MFA, endpoint protection, patching, privileged access, Microsoft 365 security, backup visibility, monitoring and escalation form part of Managed IT.Data loss prevention is included across our Managed IT packages. Where deeper detection and response is required, 24/7 SOC and MDR can extend the protection.Cybersecurity →

Common pain points

Support is happening, but the environment isn't getting better

Most organisations do not start looking for another managed service provider because of one bad ticket.

They start looking because a pattern has become familiar.

The support pattern
01

The same issues keep returning

Tickets are closed, but the underlying cause remains. Temporary workarounds become permanent and users keep experiencing variations of the same problem.

02

Complex problems lose momentum

A problem crosses Microsoft 365, identity, infrastructure, networks, an application or another supplier.

Progress slows because different parties own individual components but nobody is carrying the technical issue through.

Ownership and security
03

Nobody owns the complete outcome

The MSP owns the ticket. The carrier owns the connection. The application vendor owns the platform.

The client ends up collecting information, repeating the problem and pushing suppliers to work together.

04

Security questions arrive and nobody can answer them

A client security questionnaire lands. The cyber insurance renewal asks about MFA, backups and privileged access. The current provider sends a few screenshots and hopes that's enough.

Capacity and progress
05

Internal IT has no room to move

The internal team understands the business but is carrying users, infrastructure, vendors, security and projects at the same time.

Important improvement work continually loses to urgent demand.

06

Projects stay on the list

Infrastructure refreshes, Microsoft improvements, security uplift, network changes and other projects remain unresolved because day-to-day support consumes the available capacity.

The technology keeps running, but it does not keep moving forward.

Recognise the pattern?

Discuss your IT environment
Support versus Managed IT

The difference is what happens after the ticket

Fast response matters. The broader test is whether the technology environment becomes easier to support, more secure and more controlled over time.

The point isn’t to turn every ticket into a project; it’s to know when a ticket is just a ticket and when it’s telling us something bigger

Starting point

Where are you starting from?

Most Managed IT conversations start from one of three situations.

Fully Managed IT

We need day-to-day IT managed

We manage business IT support and the wider environment, including users, devices, Microsoft 365, identity, monitoring, infrastructure, networks, backup, vendors and cybersecurity.

Leadership retains visibility over priorities, risks and planned work without carrying the day-to-day IT function internally.

Managed IT →
How we work

From onboarding to ongoing improvement

01

Understand and agree scope

We map your users, sites, systems, suppliers and known issues, then agree responsibilities, escalation paths and SLAs from the start.

02

Transition without disruption

Access, monitoring, patching, backup and security controls come under management progressively, so users keep working throughout.

03

Support and manage

Service desk, Microsoft 365, monitoring, vendors and security run day to day, and issues that cross systems or suppliers stay with us.

04

Keep improving

Recurring issues, security gaps and ageing technology stay visible, and where AI or automation could improve a process, we take it into delivery.

Why Inlight IT

Why choose us

01

Support extends beyond the service desk

Microsoft 365, cloud, infrastructure, networking, cybersecurity, backup and project delivery sit within the same technology business, so more complex problems can move beyond frontline support.

02

Microsoft 365 and Copilot capability

We manage the Microsoft environment organisations already rely on and implement and support Microsoft Copilot within it, including the identity, permissions, security and information controls around its use.

03

Security and data protection are built into the service

Identity, endpoints, Microsoft 365 security, backup, monitoring and data protection sit within Managed IT rather than being treated as occasional add-ons.

04

AI in how we deliver and what we build

Our service desk is integrated directly into Microsoft Teams, with automation and AI-assisted triage behind it. We also design and deliver AI agents, workflow automation and integrations around the systems our clients use.

05

Long-term relationships, built through referral

Many clients have worked with us for five years or more. Much of our growth comes from clients introducing us to organisations that expect the same standard.

06

Accountability across vendors and technology

When a problem involves Microsoft, a carrier or another vendor, we take it through to resolution, so you're not left working out whose fault it is.

Common questions

Questions Sydney organisations ask about Managed IT

What is included in Managed IT services?

It covers support, monitoring and patching, devices, Microsoft 365 and Entra ID, Copilot, networks and infrastructure, backup, vendors and core security controls including DLP.

The exact scope depends on the environment and whether the service is fully managed or co-managed.

How is Managed IT different from basic IT support?

IT support primarily deals with issues as they occur. Managed IT also covers the environment behind those requests, including Microsoft 365, identity, endpoints, monitoring, infrastructure, networks, backup, vendors, security controls, documentation and ongoing improvement.

Do you provide business IT support in Sydney?

Yes. We provide business IT support and managed IT services across Greater Sydney, including North Sydney, the CBD, the North Shore, Parramatta and Western Sydney, with support for sites across NSW.

Most day-to-day support is delivered remotely, with onsite support where the technology or situation requires physical attendance.

How much do Managed IT services cost in Sydney?

Most fully managed IT environments fall between $99 and $270 per user per month ex GST.

Pricing depends on the number of users and sites, the technology being managed, security requirements and the level of responsibility we take on. Microsoft licensing, hardware, project work and additional specialist services are identified separately where applicable.

Do you manage Microsoft 365 and Copilot?

Yes. We manage Microsoft 365 and Entra ID environments including users, identity, Exchange Online, Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive, security controls and administration.

Microsoft Copilot implementation and support can form part of Managed IT. Microsoft licensing is separate.

Can you build AI agents and workflow automation?

Yes. We design and deliver AI agents, Power Platform automation, integrations and connected business solutions around the systems and information our clients use.

The scope depends on the process, systems and level of integration involved.

AI & Automation →

Can you work alongside our internal IT team?

Yes. Co-managed IT is designed for organisations that have internal capability but need additional depth, capacity, escalation or specialist expertise.

Co-managed IT →

Can you take over from our existing MSP?

Yes. We use a staged transition covering access, documentation, Microsoft 365, infrastructure, networks, backup, security, vendors, known issues and responsibilities.

The environment moves progressively rather than through a disruptive cutover.

Can you support offices and sites outside Sydney?

Yes. Many organisations have sites across regional NSW, interstate and nationally. We support distributed and multi-site environments through remote management, consistent technical standards, engineering escalation and planned onsite work where required.

What size organisations do you support?

We support organisations from approximately 10 users through to co-managed and multi-site environments approaching 1,000 users.

The right fit is usually determined by the complexity and importance of the technology environment rather than headcount alone.
