No problems... only solutions.
We work across every platform in the Microsoft suite. We also build AI agents, custom web apps and design complete business process solutions, so you can solve a problem with one team rather than several.
Every project begins with a full business analysis. We look at how your people, data and processes fit together, then deliver integrated software solutions that work as one system.
We start by understanding how your business actually works. Our analysts map your processes, find the bottlenecks and recommend the right mix of Microsoft tools, AI and custom software.
Sort, prioritise and respond to high-volume inboxes automatically. AI classifies each email, extracts the key details and sends it to the right person or system.
Get real value from Microsoft 365 and Copilot. We handle setup, migration, custom development, governance and training, so your team uses the tools with confidence.
Automate importing, exporting, formatting and processing across Word, Excel, Access, PowerPoint and Outlook. We also fix, document and modernise macros you already rely on.
Turn scattered spreadsheets and databases into clear, live dashboards using Excel, Power Query, Power Pivot and Power BI, so decisions are based on current data.
Design, build and integrate databases in Access and SQL Server, with user-friendly interfaces and secure connections to Office, Azure and your other systems.
Custom web applications and integrated software built with Next.js, .NET and Azure. We can move desktop databases and spreadsheets online with proper security and user access.
Moving to a new version of Office or Microsoft 365? We resolve compatibility issues with macros, templates and databases so everything keeps working after the move.
On-brand PowerPoint templates, presentation redesigns and automated report decks, so every presentation is consistent and built in a fraction of the time.
Most clients come to us with a spreadsheet that's grown too big, a template that keeps breaking or a process that eats up their week. Plenty also contact us with no idea where to start. Here's how we work.
Start with a free, no-obligation chat by phone or video. Describe the problem in your own words; there's no need to know the technical answer.

We map how you work
A short business analysis looks at your business, data and processes, so the solution suits the way you or your team actually works.
03
We build, test and refine
You see progress along the way and give feedback before anything goes live, so there are no surprises at the end.
04
Optional ongoing support
We are just a phone call away, your team is shown how to use it, and we stay on hand for changes and help through our support and training services.

Martin from Office Experts worked with us on automating our project reporting dashboards to increase accuracy and efficiency in our reporting process. Martin was a pleasure to deal with and an expert in his field. He quickly understood the brief, delivered the functionality as required and worked with us to ensure a smooth rollout.
Richard Keals-SmithRail Control Systems Australia
We appreciated the professionalism, patience and expertise of Richard at Office Experts. He resolved a major issue we had with our Access database and we can begin the new year with less stress. We are happy to recommend Office Experts.

James could not have been more helpful throughout our project. A complex project reviewed from the ground up, all broken down for our review and understanding including adding functionality. Will definitely engage with James and Office Experts Group for any future requirements.
Paul Potterwww.lowespetrol.com.au
I have been working with Office Experts for a number of years on projects and cannot recommend them highly enough. If you have a project you want brought to life, Office Experts are guns when it comes to capability, innovation and customer service.
Stuart Clarkwww.duluxgroup.com.au
Marcello and the team are very professional and responsive. Overall, very happy with Office Experts' support on our journey with Microsoft Power Platform.
Steven McIntyrewww.bekaert.com
James was fantastic to work with - he was very patient and tenacious in sorting our issue for us (MYOB API Key) and kept a sense of humour in the most frustrating of issues....working with MYOB Tech Support! He was open to suggestions and seeking further assistance to resolve the issue and his communication was prompt, professional and sometimes very entertaining which was greatly appreciated when our software stopped working and my stress levels were going through the roof! I would 100% work with James again - in fact, he is now our company point of contact for support with our inhouse management program which was designed by a company who no longer supports the program and left us quite vulnerable should the system stop working. James took the time to learn our program so he could assist us with any future developments and updates which is critical to reducing our business IT risk. I can't rate James highly enough and I'm so glad to have found Office Experts!

Case Studies
Case studies from our client work
Browse recent work from our consultants across the Microsoft suite. Each project started with a real business problem, whether a manual process, a tangled spreadsheet or an ageing database, and ended with a solution that saves time and holds up day to day.
Cutting a 6-7 day investment review down to 90 minutes with an AI agent workflow
One person spent six to seven days manually researching each investment applicant. We built an AI agentic workflow that produces a detailed, referenced review in around 90 minutes.
Turning call notes and a rate card into a first-pass proposal inside the real Word template
Reps drafted proposals by hand from call notes and copy-pasted fee figures. We built a conversational AI assistant that drafts a first-pass proposal in the real Word template, using a live rate card.
Turning a 90-minute Word training session into fewer formatting headaches across the firm
A legal firm struggled with inconsistent formatting, numbering issues and copy-and-paste chaos in Word. We delivered a live 90-minute Teams training session for around 29 legal professionals, built around its own documents.
Replacing manual quote requests with an instant online tax depreciation calculator
Every tax depreciation quote was worked out by hand. We built a custom React calculator, embedded in the client's WordPress site as a plugin, that emails an instant branded estimate to the customer and the client's team.
Merging an array of clunky Excel workbooks into one automated costing system
Product costing ran through disconnected, in-house Excel workbooks. We rebuilt it as a single Excel Costing Workbook with a forms interface, automatic cost updates and a restricted Admin view.
Turning manual enquiry handling into an automated quote-to-email pipeline
Building inspection enquiries and quotes were handled entirely by hand, causing rework. We built an automated system on SharePoint, Power Apps and Power Automate that manages enquiries and generates quotes ready to email.
Proving external partners could never see each other's Power BI data
A retail data provider needed certainty that one partner could never see another's data. We locked down access with Row-Level Security and tested with a real external account, matching the client's figures to the cent.
Turning a new project email into a fully built job folder in seconds
Staff built each new job folder by hand across multiple SharePoint sites. We built a Power Automate flow that reads the project details from the notification email and does the entire setup automatically.
Rebuilding static assessment and referral forms into guided, tamper-proof Word documents
Complex Word forms were inconsistent and easy to alter. We rebuilt every form with structured styles, content controls and document protection, so staff complete each one by tabbing through guided, locked-down fields.
Rebranding a Master Template, then transferring an entire document set into it cleanly
A state government health department needed a new Master Template and every existing document brought across. We built the template and moved the entire document set into it using our in-house transfer process.
Replacing a 400MB linked spreadsheet with a one-click Power Query refresh
Four location workbooks fed a central file that had grown past 400MB. We rebuilt it as a row-based entry template consolidated with Power Query, and migrated all existing data.
Removing manual form chasing for around 1,000 active patients
Tracking which patients had returned their forms was done entirely by hand. We built two scheduled Power Automate flows on a Microsoft Fabric data warehouse that send reminders, escalate overdue cases and close off completed forms.
Turning brand templates into editable PDF forms staff can fill in and maintain
A state government health department needed two internal staff forms on its new branded template. We built them into the template, converted them to editable PDFs and trained the team to update them.
Moving a team off shared logins onto a proper SharePoint foundation
A small team ran email, files and calendar through one shared login. Our SharePoint Foundation Workshops built a proper site structure, an access model and a plan to retire the shared logins.
Replacing 50-page proposals built by hand with a database-driven document generator
Proposals, quotes and contracts of 50 or more pages were pieced together by hand from paper and Excel. We designed an Access database, later migrated to SQL Server, that generates the full Word document automatically.
Rebuilding a full template suite to lock a new brand in, not just apply it
Word templates kept breaking and staff could override brand elements. We rebuilt the suite from one Master Template, with a custom Formatting tab locking down fonts and branded Quick Parts.
Turning a year of scattered supplier sales files into one automated summary
The client received dozens of separate supplier sales files each year. We built a Power Query and Power Pivot solution that consolidates them automatically and produces year-on-year comparisons by supplier, member, month and quarter.
Turning slow, error-prone quoting reports into one guided pop-up form in Word
Staff had to hunt through Word reports to find every field to complete. We built a pop-up form that gathers them all, checks mandatory fields and populates the report, with one background list for all templates.
Cutting competitor response time from two weeks to twelve minutes
A bank's life insurance division was consistently late to competitor moves. We built an AI-driven system on its own Microsoft 365 tenancy that monitors competitors around the clock and routes prioritised alerts into Teams.
One shared Global Common template keeping four entities on-brand without four separate rebuilds
A corporate group needed consistent templates across four related entities. We built each Master Template from one shared Global Common template, plus a Formatting tab with a macro that strips foreign formatting.
Turning a days-long PowerPoint build into a one-click, 600+ slide deck
Review decks were built by hand, slide by slide, from Power BI figures. We built a Python tool that queries Power BI and assembles a fully branded deck of around 660 slides in under five minutes.
Turning an InDesign lesson design into Word and PowerPoint templates educators could actually use
A lesson template designed in InDesign had to work for writers using Word and PowerPoint. We translated it into working templates with Quick Parts and a Slide Master system for consistent, branded lessons.
Building a custom Word ribbon that stops corporate templates breaking under everyday use
A state government transport department faced formatting corruption and inconsistent branding. We redesigned 17 Word templates, built a custom Formatting Control Tab and added 10 precinct-specific PowerPoint themes.
Rebuilding a beautifully designed template that Word itself couldn't cope with
New Word templates looked right but weren't built the way Word needs, making them inefficient and error-prone. We rebuilt the whole suite from the ground up, keeping the approved design intact.
Resolving customer service tickets end to end in 3 hours instead of 48
Customer service ran on manual ticket triage, spreadsheets and hand-written replies. We built a chained agentic AI system on Power Automate and Power Apps that now resolves two-thirds of tickets with no human intervention.
Migrating a VM-locked Access 2000 database to Azure with a 10x faster Next.js website
A crew booking operation ran on an Access 2000 database that only worked on a VM. We rebuilt it on Azure SQL Server and rewrote the website in Next.js, giving a site that loads 10x faster.
Taking 24 unowned risks to full ownership and monthly reviews from 6 hours to 1
A compliance workflow ran on spreadsheets and scattered policy documents. We built a live SharePoint risk register, AI agents that map risks to controls, a compliance dashboard and automated regulatory alerting.
Turning a multi-author committee report into one polished PDF, over a weekend
Reports from several authors with limited Word experience had to become one document by an urgent deadline. We built a Master Template and merged the result with supporting PDFs into one submission-ready PDF.
Turning uneven investment income into one clear monthly figure to plan against
Investment and business income arrived in seasonal lumps while commitments fell steadily. We built a private planning tool that forecasts cash flow and solves for the exact income needed each month.
Turning 10,000+ documents into a 70-page go-to-market report in 4 weeks, not 3 months
A UK BioChar go-to-market strategy had to be built fast from scattered research. AI research agents synthesised the sources into a reusable SharePoint knowledge base and auto-populated a standardised Word report.
Locking a law firm's style guide into templates staff couldn't quietly override
A law firm's style guide wasn't being followed in practice. We built a full document suite from it, plus our custom Formatting tab for easy access to the built-in legal numbering lists.
One Word Master Template and a colour theme for every discipline's brand
Each discipline under one parent brand has its own colours. We built a single Word Master Template with a suite of colour themes, so covers, styles, numbering and tables pick up the right brand colours.
Bringing a Kanban task planner inside the Access database the client already used
A research organisation wanted something like Microsoft Planner inside its existing Access database. We built a Kanban planner form with four status columns, drag and drop, due date highlighting and a task details form.
Building each financial planning report from a pop-up form and a library of ready-made headings
Financial planning reports combined free text with a large library of ready-made headings. We built a Word document builder with a pop-up form, custom Heading 3 items and a background library the Administrator maintains.
