Managed IT for Remote-First Companies

Your team are distributed across cities, and across states. Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Canberra, Perth, and often in regional towns. There's no server room. No office network. No reception desk where someone arrives at your location.

Your infrastructure is Microsoft 365. Your security perimeter is Entra ID. Your file server is SharePoint. Your phone system is mobile, VoIP, possibly Teams. Your IT problems happen on home Wi-Fi, in co-working spaces, and on devices you shipped to someone you've never met in person.

Most MSPs will tell you they “also support remote workers.” Internacious has built our service around them.

Most MSPs Are Built for Offices. You Don't Have One.

If you've talked to a few IT providers, you've probably noticed the disconnect. They want to know about your server. Your firewall. Your office network. They want to quote you for on-site visits and rack-mounted hardware.

You don't have any of that. You have a team working from home offices and co-working desks, spread across cities and states. Everything runs through Microsoft 365.

Here's what a remote-first business needs from IT support:

Identity is the security perimeter.

Without an office network, the only thing standing between an attacker and your data is who can log in and from what. MFA enforcement, conditional access policies, device compliance checks replace the physical firewall. If they're not configured properly, your entire business is as secure as your weakest team member's home Wi-Fi password.

Devices are scattered everywhere.

You've got laptops in multiple suburbs, cities, and states. Some are company-owned, some are BYOD. Someone in Melbourne needs a new machine. Someone in Hobart left and you need the laptop back. The logistics of managing hardware across a distributed team is a problem that traditional MSPs don't solve because they're used to a storeroom down the hall.

Onboarding and offboarding are high-stakes.

When a new hire starts on Monday and they're in Perth, their laptop needs to arrive configured, enrolled in Intune, signed into M365, and ready to work. When someone leaves, their access needs to be revoked and the device recovered — from a different city. If either of these processes is slow or incomplete, you either lose a day of productivity or carry days of security risk.

SharePoint and OneDrive are the file server.

Everything your team shares lives in SharePoint and OneDrive. Permissions, sharing links, guest access, version control. SharePoint is the primary single Cloud Drive for your distributed team. If it's messy, people can't find what they need. If it's overshared, Copilot will surface things it shouldn't.

The helpdesk needs to work without proximity.

When someone's screen goes black in the office, they walk to the IT person. When it happens at home in regional NSW, they need to call someone who can remote in, diagnose, and fix it without being in the same postcode. The helpdesk model needs to be more than tolerant of remotely located staff members, it needs to be remote-native.

How We Support Remote-First Teams

Identity & Access Management

This is foundation-level for a remote-first business.

  • MFA enforced for every user, including phishing-resistant methods
  • Conditional access policies configured to your risk profile: restrict sign-in by device compliance, location, risk level
  • Admin role management — we see a lot of remote-first businesses where the founder still has Global Admin on their daily account because nobody set up a dedicated admin account
  • Regular access reviews to catch permissions drift, especially after role changes or departures
  • Entra ID sign-in monitoring so suspicious activity gets caught and not ignored

Device Management

Intune is how you manage devices you can't physically touch. We configure and manage it so your devices stay compliant, secure, and up to date regardless of where they are.

  • Autopilot deployment: a new hire receives a laptop, opens it, signs in, and it configures itself with your apps, policies, and security settings — no manual setup and no IT person needed on-site
  • Compliance policies: devices must meet security baselines (encryption, up-to-date OS, endpoint protection active) before they can access company data
  • App deployment and updates pushed remotely
  • Remote wipe capability for lost, stolen, or end-of-life devices
  • BYOD support with selective wipe — company data is protected and removable without touching personal files

Onboarding & Offboarding

Onboarding:

  • M365 account provisioned with correct licences, groups, and access
  • Device procured and pre-configured (Autopilot), shipped directly to the new hire
  • Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive, and email ready before they arrive day one
  • Welcome documentation and a quick orientation call so they know where everything is and how to get help

Offboarding:

  • M365 account disabled and sessions revoked within hours of departure
  • Mailbox converted or forwarded as needed
  • All SaaS and third-party access audited and revoked
  • Device retrieval coordinated — we handle the logistics of getting hardware back from interstate
  • Compliance report documenting what was revoked and when

This connects directly to our Employee Termination IT Lockdown service for situations where speed or sensitivity matters.

Helpdesk

Phone, email, and portal. Your team calls us when something breaks, and they get a person in Australia who knows their environment.

  • Remote-first helpdesk — screen sharing, remote access, phone support
  • We know your M365 tenant, your apps, your team structure. No explaining your setup from scratch every time.
  • Same-day response SLA
  • For Sydney-based staff who need on-site support, we can be there. For everyone else, everything is handled remotely.

Microsoft 365 Management

M365 is your office.

  • Exchange Online administration, shared mailboxes, distribution groups
  • SharePoint and OneDrive governance: permissions, sharing policies, content structure
  • Teams management: team creation controls, guest access policies, meeting settings
  • Licence management and optimisation — are you paying for licences nobody's using? Are people on the right plan?
  • Security configuration: email authentication (SPF, DKIM, DMARC), anti-phishing policies, safe links, safe attachments
  • Backup: M365 doesn't back up your data by default. We set up and manage third-party backup for Exchange, SharePoint, OneDrive, and Teams.

Security Baseline

Essential Eight aligned, adapted for environments with no on-premise infrastructure.

  • Endpoint protection (EDR) across all managed devices
  • Patch management for OS and applications, pushed through Intune
  • Application control where appropriate
  • Email security and phishing simulation
  • Security awareness training for your team
  • Regular security posture reviews with documented findings

Copilot Readiness & AI

Remote-first teams are the ones getting the most out of Copilot. Meeting summaries for the person who missed the Teams call. Draft replies to the email thread that's 40 messages long. Document summaries when you're catching up across time zones.

We help you deploy Copilot safely — permissions cleaned up, data governance sorted, identity controls in place — so your team gets the productivity benefits without the data exposure risk. See our Copilot readiness engagement for the full scope.

Who This Service Fits

Consulting firms with staff across multiple states.

Strategy consultants, management advisors, specialist advisory firms. Small teams, high-value work, everyone on laptops, no office. You need reliable M365, tight security, and an IT provider who doesn't need to visit a building to do their job.

Professional services firms that went remote after COVID and never went back.

Accounting practices where the partners work from home three days a week and the team is scattered. Financial planning firms with advisors in different cities. Legal teams that collaborate on documents through SharePoint and Teams.

Startups and scale-ups that were remote from day one.

You set up M365 when there were three of you, and now there are fifteen and nobody has ever reviewed the security settings. The founder is still the Global Admin. Shared passwords exist for things they shouldn't. Somebody should probably sort this out before something goes wrong.

Businesses with a Sydney presence and staff elsewhere.

Maybe you have a small office in Sydney with a few people, and the rest of the team is remote across Australia. You want on-site capability when you need it and remote-first service the rest of the time. That's exactly how we operate.

Why Us

We run on the same model you do.

Internacious is a Sydney-based business that delivers services remotely across Australia. We understand the remote-first operating model because we live it. The tools we use to manage your environment — M365, Entra, Intune, remote monitoring — are the same tools that make remote-first businesses work.

M365 depth, not breadth across ten platforms.

We specialise in the Microsoft stack. That's where remote-first businesses live. We know Entra ID conditional access inside out. We know how Intune Autopilot works when you're shipping a laptop to someone you've never met. We know how SharePoint permissions interact with Teams and how Copilot exposes the gaps. This depth is what makes us useful.

Pricing

Per-user, per-month. Same rate whether your team member is in Sydney CBD or Cairns.

The price includes helpdesk, M365 administration, identity management, device management through Intune, security baseline, patching, backup, and regular reviews. No per-incident charges. No extra fees for remote staff.

For a typical remote-first business with 5–25 users on M365 Business Premium, we can give you a clear quote on a short call.
