Managed IT in Frankton
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 Frankton. Most problems are fixed remotely first; when a job needs hands, a technician comes to you.
Managed IT for Frankton businesses
Frankton, just west of Hamilton's centre, grew around the railway junction and still mixes light industry, trade suppliers, workshops and transport businesses with a local shopping strip, health providers near the hospital and small professional offices.
Older industrial buildings here often have cabling added piecemeal over the decades, and offices attached to workshops cope with dust, vibration and equipment in unsuitable spots. Health-related businesses close to the hospital also need tight control over patient information on laptops and shared computers. Rail and road noise aside, the bigger daily risk is an unmanaged router shared by office and workshop alike.
Managed IT replaces that with a team whose job is to keep your systems running. We learn your setup once and write it down. We watch your computers, network and Microsoft 365 for problems, apply updates, check the backups and fix issues before most people notice them. When someone needs help, they email or log a request and talk to a technician who already has your notes.
Our Hamilton technicians come to Frankton offices and workshops for cabling, computers and networks, and support staff remotely for everyday issues. Any installation is priced in writing beforehand.
What's included
Security
Threat detection on every computer, email filtering, multi-factor sign-in and the settings that stop the common attacks.
Help desk
Staff email or log a request and get a technician, not a call centre. Most fixes happen remotely within the same session.
Starters and leavers
Laptop ready, accounts made and access set on day one. Leavers locked out and their data kept.
Updates and patching
Windows, Mac and business apps updated on a schedule, with failures followed up rather than ignored.
Microsoft 365 admin
New staff, leavers, licences, shared mailboxes, Teams and SharePoint permissions, all handled for you.
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.
Is it right for your Frankton 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 Frankton: questions
Can computers survive in a dusty workshop office?
With the right choices, yes. Sealed or compact computers, a closed comms cabinet and regular cleaning during maintenance visits extend their life. We recommend suitable gear and placement after looking at the space.
Do you support small offices near Waikato Hospital?
Yes. We support health and professional offices around the hospital precinct with onsite visits from Hamilton and remote help, including securing devices that hold patient information.
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 support Macs?
Yes. We support Windows and macOS computers, iPhones and Android phones used for work.
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.
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.
