Assess, govern,
and implement.
Microsoft ecosystem specialist for SMEs and local government. Advisory-led and implementation-capable across AI readiness, Copilot adoption, Power Platform, and data readiness.
Navigator Technology is a Sunshine Coast-based Microsoft specialist serving SMEs and local government across the Sunshine Coast, Brisbane, and Queensland. With over 25 years of ICT experience, we lead with strategy and governance, then implement inside the Microsoft ecosystem when it adds the most value.
Every engagement starts with understanding your business outcomes, not your tech stack. From AI readiness assessments and Copilot governance through to Power Apps builds and data readiness, we deliver the full journey, not just the advice.
Every engagement starts with strategy and governance. We understand the business outcome before recommending or building anything.
Copilot, Power Platform, SharePoint, Azure, and M365. We work exclusively in the Microsoft stack and know it deeply.
We don't hand you a report and disappear. When implementation is needed, we deliver it: Power Apps, AI agents, data readiness, and more.
We don't resell licences or take vendor margins. Our only incentive is your outcome.
Where we
operate.

Before you enable
Copilot…
Microsoft Copilot does not arrive in a clean environment. It inherits your existing data, permissions, and governance instantly. For most organisations, sensitive material is more visible than leadership realises.
AI doesn't create new risk. It reveals and amplifies the risk that already exists.
The most important AI decision is not how to enable it, but whether your organisation is ready to do so safely.
AI Readiness & Governance Assessment
- Executive-level assessment of current data exposure and permission architecture
- Governance gap analysis across Microsoft 365 and Copilot readiness factors
- Unintended access risk identification before AI capability is enabled
- Board-ready report with defensible findings and clear recommendations
- Designed for organisations with 20–100 employees on Microsoft 365; larger environments scoped separately

Discuss Your BuildAssess. Govern.
Implement.
AI readiness, data maturity, Microsoft 365 governance, and security posture. A clear picture of where you are before any technology decision is made.
Define the right controls, permissions, and data policies before Copilot or AI capability is enabled. Board-ready findings with defensible recommendations.
Copilot adoption, Power Apps builds, Power Automate workflows, SharePoint configuration, and AI agent development, all inside your existing Microsoft licence where possible.
Ongoing vCIO advisory, roadmap reviews, and iterative improvement as the business and the Microsoft ecosystem evolve together.
"Advisory-first. Implementation when it counts."
Navigator leads every engagement with strategy and governance. Once the direction is clear and the risk is understood, we implement inside the Microsoft ecosystem with the same discipline we applied to the assessment.
That means every technical decision has a business reason behind it, and every build is governed from day one. We are not:
- A managed service provider (MSP)
- A helpdesk or support desk
- A software reseller or vendor partner
- A body shop that builds without a strategy
Who we work with.
Navigator provides Microsoft 365 consulting, IT strategy, and cybersecurity assessments across the Sunshine Coast, Brisbane, Noosa, and broader Queensland. Engagements are delivered remotely or on-site by appointment.

Read MoreClarity before
commitment.
A first conversation should help you decide whether an assessment is useful, not pressure you into buying one. These are the questions leadership teams most often need answered first.
Is Copilot readiness only a security review?
No. The assessment examines data exposure, permissions, governance, and leadership readiness, then provides a board-ready report with prioritised recommendations.
Does Navigator replace our MSP or internal IT team?
No. Navigator provides independent strategy and governance advice and can work alongside your existing MSP or internal technology team.
Who is the fixed-price AI Readiness Assessment designed for?
The fixed-price assessment is designed for organisations with approximately 20 to 100 employees using Microsoft 365. Larger or more complex environments can be scoped separately.
Do you work outside the Sunshine Coast?
Yes. Navigator serves the Sunshine Coast, Brisbane, and regional Queensland through remote delivery and on-site engagements by appointment.
Can Navigator implement the recommendations?
Yes. Where implementation adds value, Navigator can deliver Microsoft 365 governance, Power Platform solutions, workflow automation, and Copilot adoption support.
Not sure where to begin?
