Managed IT in Dunedin
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.
Dunedin is supported remotely. Our technicians are based in Auckland and Hamilton, so onsite work here is planned project work, booked and quoted in advance.
Managed IT for Dunedin businesses
Dunedin's economy is built around the university, health, education and research, with professional firms, engineering, software companies and the port at Port Chalmers, much of it in a central city full of heritage stone buildings.
Old stone and brick buildings block Wi-Fi and complicate cabling, and many businesses here are small teams that work closely with the university and hospital sectors, where data handling expectations are high. Cloud-based files and managed laptops reduce dependence on the building. Student intakes and short contracts also mean frequent account changes for firms that hire from the university, so leavers need removing promptly.
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 support Dunedin businesses remotely for help desk, security, backups and Microsoft 365. Onsite work happens only as planned projects, arranged and quoted in writing. Equipment can be configured remotely once fitted.
What's included
Network and Wi-Fi
Firewall, switches and wireless monitored, so a failing device is replaced before it takes the office offline.
Help desk
Staff email or log a request and get a technician, not a call centre. Most fixes happen remotely within the same session.
Planning
A regular review of what is ageing, what is at risk and what to budget for next year. No surprises in March.
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.
Updates and patching
Windows, Mac and business apps updated on a schedule, with failures followed up rather than ignored.
Security
Threat detection on every computer, email filtering, multi-factor sign-in and the settings that stop the common attacks.
Is it right for your Dunedin 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 Dunedin: questions
Can you help with Wi-Fi in a Dunedin heritage building remotely?
We can plan and specify the equipment remotely, configure it and manage it afterwards. Installation can be done by your local installer under our design, or as a planned visit by arrangement.
Do you work with research or university partners' security requirements?
We help you put the common controls in place, such as multi-factor sign-in, encryption and patching, and document them so you can answer partner security questionnaires accurately.
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.
How quickly do you respond?
Requests are picked up during business hours in the order of urgency. Anything stopping work, such as no internet or a locked-out account, goes to the front of the queue.
What is not included?
Hardware, software licences and projects such as an office move, new server or full cabling job. Those are quoted in writing first, with no surprise invoices.
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.
