Your muted Teams chats are moving 🔕

From early November, muted chats will move into a new section at the bottom of your chat list. Chats in Favourites or your own sections stay where they are. There’s also a new Meeting chats section, which is off by default, if you’d like your meeting conversations grouped together.

Can’t find a chat? Check Muted first. You can change both sections in Settings > Chats and channels.

Last year, Dan Popping came within 25km of finishing the Mo Monster, a 10km swim, 235km bike and a 50km run, before stopping when it was no longer safe to keep going.

This November, he’s going back for it.

Dan has started The Hard Thing Club, an epic crew taking on tough physical challenges to raise money for men’s mental health. Last year, IT Partners and Lightwire helped Dan raise over $30,000 for Movember. This year, the goal is $50,000. And a few of our own team are joining him to help achieve this.

📅 21-22 November: Sufferfest, a 24-hour challenge at The Yard Gym, Hamilton
📅 28 November: Dan and Nige take a second shot at the Mo Monster (10km swim, 235km bike, 50km run)

We’re proud to back Dan and everyone taking part. If you’d like to support them, you can donate here: The Hard Thing Club's Mo Space https://ap1.hubs.ly/H01vBml0

We officially opened our new office last week, and we were glad to share it with so many of the people we work with.

Our new home at Level 5, 18 London Street gives us more room to meet with clients, work together as a team and keep growing. To show it off, we gave the evening a murder mystery theme. Guests followed clues from room to room and got a look at the new technology along the way.

Thank you to everyone who came to celebrate with us. We look forward to welcoming more of you soon.

Our first quarterly team meeting in the new office is done.

Yesterday the team got together to look back on the quarter, share what’s coming up and recognise those who stood out.

Congratulations to Andrew Leighton, winner of this quarter’s Radical Roughton Cup, and to Regan, whose idea earned him Idea of the Quarter.

Microsoft is retiring SMS and voice authentication at the end of January 2027. If you still sign in with a code sent by text or phone call, now is a good time to plan the switch.

Our recommendation is passkeys. They’re a simpler way to sign in, with nothing to remember and nothing to type.

We put together a short video explaining how they work and why we think they’re worth switching on wherever you can.

If you have questions about setting up passkeys for your team, we’re happy to talk it through.

100km along Taupō’s Great Lake Trail, shared between four of our team.

Nige, Julie, Andrew and Dan P took on the Taupō Ultramarathon this weekend as a relay team, each running their leg and handing over to the next.

A huge effort from all four of them, making the ITP team proud.

It’s time for another ITP Player Profile!

Today we’re spotlighting Daniel Conlon, our Firstline Engineering Team Lead.

In his five and a half years at IT Partners, Dan has grown into a leadership role that lets him do what he enjoys most: coaching and mentoring the people around him.

Get to know Dan as he shares a little about his role, what he enjoys most about working at IT Partners, and a few fun facts.

A reminder worth sharing as the end of the year gets closer.

At the end of December, Microsoft is switching off Basic authentication for SMTP AUTH by default. It's the way an email app or device proves who is logging in. It's being replaced because it is an outdated way of logging in that’s now considered a security risk.

For many offices, that means copiers and scanners that scan to email using a username and password could stop sending without warning.

Now is a good time to check which devices and apps send email through Microsoft 365, and create a plan to transition to the new sign-in method (OAuth) when the time comes.

If you’re not sure where your business stands, get in touch and we’re happy to talk it through.

Last week we had a wonderful morning with Dress For Success Hamilton NZ 💗

It was a privilege to be in a room full of women from across the region, all there to support a cause that helps women into work with confidence, through professional clothing, mentoring and ongoing support.

The speakers were knowledgeable and inspiring, and the energy in the room was something special.

Congratulations to the whole team behind the event, and thank you for having us.
