Technology should make life easier, not more stressful. But when systems crash, emails won’t send, or software suddenly stops behaving, even the best businesses can grind to a halt. Invest in our professional Microsoft 365 service today!
At Octopus Computers, that’s exactly what we deliver.
We’re not just another tech provider. We’re your reliable partners, the people who pick up the phone, roll up their sleeves, and make things work again. Fast, friendly, and always human.
1. The cloud isn’t trusted
Poor setup leads to desktop saving and confusion.
We fix it: Clear save rules, properly configured OneDrive, structured SharePoint built around how you actually work.
2. Teams is chaotic
Ad-hoc creation, duplicated channels, lost files.
We fix it: Standard naming, controlled creation, and a clean file structure that makes sense.
3. Email is vulnerable
Weak sign-in controls and untuned protection increase risk.
We fix it: Enforced MFA, secure sign-in policies, and properly configured mail security.
4. Leavers retain access
Manual offboarding creates gaps.
We fix it: A consistent offboarding process that removes access quickly and handles data correctly.
5. Licences don’t match usage
Plans added over time, never reviewed.
We fix it: Align licences to real needs and remove unnecessary cost.**
Microsoft 365 is not hard because Word or Excel are hard. It gets hard when the “rules” around them are unclear. Where files should live, who can access what, how people share, how leavers are removed, and what happens when a laptop is lost.
At Octopus Computers, we treat Microsoft 365 like a business system, not a software bundle. That means we use repeatable standards, we document what we change, and we make sure your setup still makes sense six months from now.
This page is written for Corby organisations that want practical help with Microsoft Office Suite and Microsoft 365.
Our helpdesk isn’t a faceless call centre. It’s a team of friendly, qualified engineers who take every issue personally. Whether it’s a password reset or a critical system failure, you’ll always get a real human who listens, acts quickly, and follows up to make sure you’re satisfied.
We’re available when you need us, by phone, email, or remote access, and our average response times are among the fastest in the industry.
We don’t wait for things to go wrong. Our proactive monitoring tools keep an eye on your systems 24/7, identifying potential issues before they cause downtime. It’s IT support that prevents problems, not just reacts to them.
From server performance and security patches to software updates and network stability, we make sure everything runs as it should, quietly and efficiently in the background.
Some problems need a physical touch. That’s why our engineers are always ready to visit your office for hands-on support when it’s needed.
For everything else, our remote access tools mean we can jump onto your system and resolve issues instantly, no waiting around for someone to arrive.
Technology isn’t just about keeping the lights on, it’s about helping your business grow.
We offer IT consultancy that aligns your systems with your goals, ensuring every investment supports your success. Whether you’re migrating to the cloud, upgrading hardware, or planning your digital transformation, we guide you every step of the way.
Modern IT support goes hand-in-hand with strong cyber security. Octopus Computers integrates robust protection into everything we do, from endpoint monitoring and firewalls to backup and disaster recovery solutions.
Your data is your most valuable asset. We make sure it’s secure, compliant, and recoverable, always.
We know how frustrating technology can be when it doesn’t work. That’s why we’ve built a culture based on empathy and communication. Our engineers don’t hide behind jargon. They explain things clearly, in plain English, and they genuinely care about your experience. When you call us, you’re not just a number in a queue. You’re a valued partner, and we treat your business like it’s our own.
That’s the Octopus difference.
Microsoft 365 Setup and Tidy-Up
We configure your tenant properly – users, domain, permissions, policies, and shared mailboxes – and put standards in place to keep it organised.
Email and File Migration
We migrate mailboxes and files from legacy systems, plan a controlled cutover, and communicate clearly so there are no surprises.
Teams, SharePoint and OneDrive
We design your file structure and collaboration model around how you actually work – where long-term value is created.
Security Baseline
We implement practical security controls and explain what’s protecting you and why it matters.
Role-Based Training
We train using real examples so staff adopt the right habits from day one.
Ongoing Support
We stay involved, keeping your setup stable, secure, and up to date as your business evolves.
We like to think of our approach as “support with purpose.” It’s not just about solving problems; it’s about making IT work for you.
Our team is proactive, transparent, and friendly. We communicate clearly, keep promises, and treat every challenge like it’s our own.
That’s why our clients stay with us for years — not because they have to, but because they want to.
Before: proposals were emailed around as attachments, and edits were lost.
After: proposals moved to SharePoint with co authoring, and Teams channels were mapped to service lines. The result was fewer duplicate files and faster turnaround.
Before: leavers were removed inconsistently and shared mailbox access was messy.
After: offboarding checklist, role based access, and shared mailboxes owned by managers. The result was tighter control and less admin time.
Before: email was unreliable, and files were stored on a single PC.
After: Exchange Online mailboxes, OneDrive for users, a company SharePoint for shared data, and MFA enforced. The result was more resilience and easier remote work.
We speak your language and care about your success.
We stop problems before they start.
From cloud solutions to cyber security, everything under one roof.
We’re here for the long haul, not a quick fix.
If you want Microsoft 365 to be simpler to use, easier to manage, and safer day to day, Octopus Computers can help and scale with you.
Speak to our Corby Microsoft Office Suite team for a no pressure chat. We will look at what is currently in place, where the friction is, and what a sensible next step looks like.
We have been specialising in Microsoft Office Suite for over a decade so if you’re looking for an experienced cloud computing team with serious Microsoft know-how then get in touch by calling us on 01572 724185 or fill out our online enquiry form.
Most businesses use only a fraction of what they’re paying for. We help you configure Microsoft 365 properly, lock it down securely, streamline how staff work together and make sure licenses match your actual needs. You get better value, fewer issues and a single point of contact when something goes wrong.
Yes. We plan the migration carefully, run test moves where needed and schedule the main cutover at a time that minimises disruption. Email, calendars, contacts and files are moved securely, and we stay on hand to support staff so they know where everything is and how to access it.
We apply best-practice security settings across your tenant: multi-factor authentication, conditional access, secure sharing policies, device controls and regular reviews of suspicious sign-ins. We also help you with data loss prevention, backup options and staff training, because people are a big part of security too.
If something stops working as it should, you contact us first. We’ll diagnose whether it’s a local issue, a configuration problem or a wider Microsoft outage, then either fix it or help you work around it. You don’t have to battle with support portals or guess what’s going on – we handle that for you.
Definitely. We can run short, practical training sessions tailored to your team and how they work day-to-day. We also provide ongoing support, so when someone gets stuck in Teams, can’t find a file in OneDrive or has an issue in Outlook, they can just contact us and we’ll guide them through it.
Yes. We don’t just switch it on and walk away. We’ll sit down with you to understand how your team works, then configure things like Teams channels, SharePoint sites, shared mailboxes, permissions and file structures to match your processes. The goal is to make Microsoft 365 feel natural for your business, not force you to work around the technology.
