Co-managed IT in Morrinsville
Your IT person knows your business better than any outside provider ever will. Co-managed IT gives them a team to lean on: proper tools, security and backup monitoring, help with the hard problems and cover when they are on leave, without replacing them.
Onsite technicians cover Morrinsville. Most problems are fixed remotely first; when a job needs hands, a technician comes to you.
Co-managed IT for Morrinsville businesses
Morrinsville is a dairy town in the Waikato east of Hamilton, with milk processing, farm supply, engineering, transport and rural contracting businesses, plus local accountants, lawyers and retailers serving the farming community.
Engineering and processing businesses here run plant, workshop and office systems on one site, and the office side often grew without a plan. Farm-facing firms need staff and clients who can work over rural connections, and backups that don't depend on a single computer in the office. Processing and engineering firms also face customer and auditor questions about how their records are stored and protected, which a documented setup answers.
We agree the split in writing, so everyone knows who does what and nothing falls between two chairs. Your IT person keeps full admin access and visibility of everything we do. When they are sick or on leave, we already know the setup and can keep things running until they return. We meet regularly with your IT person to review alerts, projects and anything that is ageing, so they have a colleague to think problems through with rather than carrying every decision on their own.
We book Morrinsville visits from Hamilton for network, computer and connectivity work, and handle most support remotely. Planned projects are quoted in writing. Remote support covers staff working on farms as well.
What's included
Shared management tools
Your IT person gets access to our monitoring, patching, remote support and documentation tools rather than buying and maintaining their own.
Shared documentation
One set of up-to-date notes on your systems, so knowledge stays in the business if people change.
Help desk overflow
Staff requests passed to us during busy periods or projects, so your IT person can focus on the work that needs their knowledge.
Project help
Extra hands for migrations, office moves, rollouts and upgrades, planned with your IT person and quoted in writing first.
Security monitoring
Threat detection alerts, sign-in risks and email security watched by our team, with serious issues raised with your IT person straight away.
Second-line escalation
Our technicians and specialists on hand for difficult network, server, Microsoft 365 or security problems.
Is it right for your Morrinsville office?
Co-managed IT tends to suit businesses where:
- One IT person looks after 20 to 75 staff on their own
- Your IT person can't take leave without things piling up
- Security and backups depend on one person remembering to check them
- A big project is coming that needs more hands than you have
- Your IT person wants better tools than the budget allows on its own
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.
Co-managed IT in Morrinsville: questions
Our office backups are on a USB drive. Is that enough?
Not on its own. A drive in the same office can be lost to theft, fire or ransomware along with the computer. We set up automatic cloud backups as well and test that files can be restored.
How far do your technicians travel in the Waikato?
We work onsite in Hamilton and book visits from there to nearby towns such as Morrinsville. Other work is handled remotely.
Will this replace our IT person?
No. The point is to support them, not replace them. Your IT person stays in charge of your systems and their relationships with staff; we add tools, depth and cover around them.
How is co-managed IT priced?
It is usually based on our per-user plans, $69, $119 or $169 per user per month plus GST, adjusted for the work your IT person keeps. We set out the agreed price in writing first.
Who decides who does what?
We agree a written responsibility list with your IT person and management at the start, covering support, security, backups, projects and vendors. It is reviewed as needs change.
Does our IT person keep admin access?
Yes. They keep full access and can see every ticket, alert and change we make. We work in the same documentation, so nothing is hidden.
