IT Support for Perth Strata Managers

Strata managers hold trust money and the records of every owner in every scheme, and the software that runs it all has to work every day. We support Perth strata management companies with the platforms, security and Microsoft 365 setup the job depends on.

Why strata management needs specialist IT

Trust Money, Higher Bar

Strata firms operate trust accounts and process levies on behalf of hundreds, often thousands, of lot owners. That puts you closer to the risk profile of a financial services firm than a generic office. Payment redirection scams deliberately target businesses that move other people's money, and a single compromised mailbox is all it takes.

Downtime at the Wrong Time

A system outage on an ordinary Tuesday is annoying. The same outage during a levy run, an end-of-month trust reconciliation or AGM season means missed deadlines, frustrated councils of owners, and staff improvising manual workarounds that introduce errors. Strata IT has to be planned around your calendar, not just kept running.

We currently support strata management companies in Perth day to day, so we know the shape of the business: a strata and trust accounting platform at the centre, owner and committee portals hanging off it, Microsoft 365 mailboxes and shared mailboxes for each portfolio, and owners-corporation records going back decades. Everything connects to everything, and most of it is run by a small office team with no in-house IT.

The reality: a generic IT provider can keep the computers running, but usually doesn't understand why the trust account needs tighter access controls than the front desk, or why levy-notice mailboxes are the ones criminals go after. If your business also runs a sales or rentals arm, our real estate IT support covers that side of the house too.

What we do for strata managers

Strata Platforms & Portals

Day-to-day support for your strata management and trust accounting platform and the owner and committee portals around it: setup, upgrades, integrations and vendor liaison. Choosing or switching platforms? We give independent selection advice: we don't resell software, so the recommendation fits your workflow, not a commission.

Microsoft 365 for Portfolios

Email, calendars and Teams set up the way a strata office actually works: shared mailboxes per scheme or portfolio so nothing lives in one person's inbox, and clean handover when a property manager changes. Full Microsoft 365 setup and support, from licensing to migration.

Trust Accounting Security

MFA on every account, phishing protection on the mailboxes that send levy notices and receive invoices, restricted access to trust systems, and verified backups you can actually restore. Layered cyber security built for a business that moves other people's money.

Owners-Corporation Records

Document management structured by scheme: minutes, contracts, insurance certificates, plans and correspondence stored consistently with retention and access controls applied. Records stay findable for AGMs, audits and certificate requests, and survive staff turnover instead of leaving with it.

What we look after

The moving parts of a strata office, handled by one senior engineer who knows your setup, not a rotating helpdesk queue:

  • Strata and trust accounting platform support and upgrades
  • Owner and committee portal setup and integrations
  • Microsoft 365 email and shared mailboxes for each portfolio
  • MFA and phishing protection across every account
  • Verified backups of trust records and scheme documents
  • Retention and access controls for owners-corporation records
  • Secure onboarding and offboarding of property managers
  • Connecting web forms and portals to your systems

How it works

Free Assessment

We review your strata platform, mailboxes, backups and security posture, and map where the trust-money and owner-record risks actually sit. No charge, no obligation.

Priority Fixes

We close the highest-risk gaps first (MFA, backup verification, mailbox rules), scheduled around your levy runs and meeting calendar so nothing lands mid-reconciliation.

Ongoing Support

Ongoing managed IT services in Perth or ad-hoc support at $180/hr with same-day callback and no lock-in. Either way you deal with the same senior engineer, 7 days.

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers on strata IT, trust accounting security and owner records.

Do you support strata management software and owner portals?
Yes. We provide day-to-day support for strata and trust accounting platforms and the owner and committee portals that sit alongside them: setup, upgrades, integrations with Microsoft 365, and being first call when something breaks. If you're choosing or switching platforms, we give independent selection advice: we don't resell software, so our recommendation is based on your workflow, not a commission.
How do you secure trust accounting and levy payments?
Multi-factor authentication on every account, phishing protection on the mailboxes that send and receive levy notices and invoices, tightly controlled access to trust accounting systems, and verified backups you can actually restore from. Payment redirection fraud is the number one threat to businesses that move other people's money; a compromised mailbox is usually how it starts, so that's where we harden first.
Can you help with owners-corporation records and retention?
Yes. We build document management on Microsoft 365 structured by scheme, so minutes, contracts, insurance certificates, plans and correspondence are stored consistently with access controls and retention applied. Records survive staff turnover, are ready for AGMs, audits and section-certificate requests, and stop living in one property manager's inbox.
What does strata IT support cost?
$180/hr ex GST, one-hour minimum, then 30-minute increments. No call-out fee in metro Perth, no lock-in contracts. Ongoing managed support is available if you'd rather a fixed monthly arrangement, or work with us ad hoc; you get the same senior engineer either way.
