Managed IT in Browns Bay
Hand your IT to a team that already knows your setup. One monthly price per person covers the help desk, security, updates, Microsoft 365 and backups, with technicians who come on site when a problem needs hands.
Onsite technicians cover Browns Bay. Most problems are fixed remotely first; when a job needs hands, a technician comes to you.
Managed IT for Browns Bay businesses
Browns Bay is the commercial heart of the East Coast Bays, with a seaside village of shops, cafes, real estate agencies, medical and dental practices, accountants and small offices on Clyde Road and the streets off the waterfront. Many businesses serve the surrounding residential suburbs.
Offices here tend to be small and above or behind shops, so equipment is squeezed into whatever space is available and Wi-Fi has to cope with thick block walls and busy neighbouring networks. Salt air near the waterfront is also hard on equipment left in exposed or poorly ventilated spots, so cabinet placement matters.
You pay a fixed amount per person each month, so the IT budget stops jumping around. Projects such as an office move or a new server are quoted separately, in writing, before anything starts.
We send technicians to Browns Bay practices and offices for network, computer and printer jobs, and help staff remotely the rest of the time. Planned work is booked around appointments and trading hours.
What's included
Updates and patching
Windows, Mac and business apps updated on a schedule, with failures followed up rather than ignored.
Help desk
Staff email or log a request and get a technician, not a call centre. Most fixes happen remotely within the same session.
Security
Threat detection on every computer, email filtering, multi-factor sign-in and the settings that stop the common attacks.
Backups that are checked
Microsoft 365 and server backups monitored daily, with a restore test so you know the backup actually works.
Onsite technicians
When something needs hands - a dead switch, a new printer, a desk move - a technician comes to your office in Auckland or Hamilton.
Microsoft 365 admin
New staff, leavers, licences, shared mailboxes, Teams and SharePoint permissions, all handled for you.
Is it right for your Browns Bay office?
Managed IT suits offices that rely on their computers every day but don't want to employ an IT person. It is usually a fit if:
- You have between 3 and 75 staff
- Nobody on the team owns IT, or the person who does has a different day job
- You have had a scare: lost files, a scam email, a long outage
- You want a fixed monthly IT cost instead of surprise bills
- Your insurer or a client is asking about your cyber security
How getting started works
- Free IT health check. We look at your devices, accounts, backups and network and tell you what we find, in plain English.
- Clear proposal. A written monthly price per user and a list of any fixes, with nothing hidden.
- Handover. We collect admin access and documentation from your current provider and keep your team working.
- Day-one fixes. Security gaps, failed backups and urgent risks are dealt with first.
Managed IT in Browns Bay: questions
Where should our network equipment go in a small office?
Somewhere ventilated, secure and out of the way, not on the floor under reception or in a damp storeroom. A small wall-mounted cabinet often solves it. We recommend a location and quote the work after a look.
Can you look after a small real estate office?
Yes. Agents need reliable phones, laptops and Microsoft 365 on the move, and the office needs printers and scanners that work for everyone. We manage the devices and secure the accounts so listings and client details stay protected.
How much does managed IT cost?
Our plans are $69, $119 and $169 per user per month plus GST. A user is one person; their computer and phone are included. We recommend the $119 Managed plan for most offices. The full breakdown is on the pricing page.
Do you come on site?
Yes. Our technicians cover Auckland and Hamilton. The Complete plan includes unlimited onsite support; the other plans include onsite time or use the hourly rate.
How do we switch from our current provider?
We arrange the handover. We collect admin access and documentation, check backups and security on day one and tell you what we found. Your team keeps working while we take over.
Is there a contract or lock-in?
No fixed-term contract. Plans run month to month with 30 days' notice. If you leave, we hand over your passwords, documentation and admin access in an orderly way.
