Still calling it Office 365? Same platform, same consultant. Microsoft renamed it, the work did not change.
What a Microsoft 365 consultant fixes
Most Microsoft 365 environments were set up in an afternoon and never reviewed. These are the areas where that catches up with a business.

- Shared mailbox and group strategy
Migrations
- On-premise Exchange to Exchange Online
- Google Workspace to Microsoft 365
- Tenant-to-tenant for mergers and rebrands

Licensing & cost review

On the licensing side specifically, the Microsoft 365 licensing review page lists where the money usually goes and how to check your own tenant for it.
Mailbox & access lifecycle governance
In my enterprise role I design and run automated lifecycle governance for thousands of shared mailboxes in a 200,000-user environment: time-boxed access with periodic reviews, enforced legal hold and audit settings, and usage-based archiving so nothing lingers unowned. Very few consultants do this work at any scale.
For your business, that discipline translates to simple questions answered properly: who can access what, should they still, are you legally covered, and what happens when people leave. It is covered as part of the Microsoft 365 Health Check or as a standalone governance review.
The enterprise background most Brisbane consultants don't have
Hamilton365 is Jamie Hamilton. By day, I run Identity and messaging infrastructure for one of Queensland's largest education organisations: 200,000+ users, 150+ sites, Entra ID at serious scale. MCSE certified, 25+ years in the field.
When you engage Hamilton365, that is who does the work. Not a junior on a script, not a help desk queue. The same standards used to protect an environment with 1.5 million emails a week, applied to your 20-seat business.

How an engagement works
A short conversation
You tell me what is going on: the problem, the project, or just the nagging feeling that your tenant was never set up right. 15 to 20 minutes, no charge, no pitch.
A fixed quote
You get a scoped proposal with a fixed price for fixed work, or a clear hourly arrangement for open-ended work. GST-inclusive numbers, agreed before anything starts.
The work, done properly
Changes are planned, tested, and made outside your business hours where they carry risk. You get plain-English documentation of what changed and why.
No lock-in
No contracts, no minimum terms. If you want ongoing oversight afterwards, managed plans exist. If you just needed the project done, that is fine too.
Coming from Google? The mail, files and calendars move across in stages, and the Google Workspace to Microsoft 365 page sets out what transfers, what does not, and what happens on the day.
Not sure where your environment stands? Start with the fixed-price review.
