Managed IT in Glenfield
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 Glenfield. Most problems are fixed remotely first; when a job needs hands, a technician comes to you.
Managed IT for Glenfield businesses
Glenfield combines a suburban town centre with small business units, medical and dental practices, tutoring and childcare centres, and service businesses run by locals. It sits beside the Wairau Valley commercial area, and plenty of trades and consultants work from home offices nearby.
Typical Glenfield businesses have three to twenty staff, cloud accounting and a mix of personal and company devices. The quickest improvements are usually separating guest and staff Wi-Fi, replacing an internet provider's basic router with a business firewall, and making sure email and files are properly backed up rather than trusting the cloud alone.
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 Glenfield offices and practices for setups and fixes, and handle most requests remotely. Monthly plans and pay as you go both work for smaller teams.
What's included
Help desk
Staff email or log a request and get a technician, not a call centre. Most fixes happen remotely within the same session.
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.
Planning
A regular review of what is ageing, what is at risk and what to budget for next year. No surprises in March.
Network and Wi-Fi
Firewall, switches and wireless monitored, so a failing device is replaced before it takes the office offline.
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 Glenfield 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 Glenfield: questions
Isn't Microsoft 365 already backed up?
Microsoft keeps the service running, but it is not a full backup of your mail and files in the way most businesses assume. A separate Microsoft 365 backup lets you recover deleted or encrypted data from a point in time, and we include it in our plans.
We want a guest Wi-Fi for clients. Is that complicated?
No. With a business access point and firewall we set up a separate guest network that gives internet access only, so visitors never see your computers or printers.
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 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.
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.
