Managed IT in Mt Eden
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 Mt Eden. Most problems are fixed remotely first; when a job needs hands, a technician comes to you.
Managed IT for Mt Eden businesses
Mt Eden spreads from the village shops on Mt Eden Road to the busy Dominion Road strip and the light commercial streets near Normanby Road. Physiotherapists, counsellors, small accounting practices, tutoring businesses and family-run trading firms make up much of the local business mix.
Many practices here work out of converted houses or small two-storey blocks with one internet connection, a cupboard of equipment and a mix of staff and contractor devices. Booking and practice systems are usually cloud-based, so a reliable connection, a decent firewall and good sign-in security matter more than any server in the back room.
Most offices with five to fifty staff don't have an IT person. Someone with a bit of know-how ends up resetting passwords, chasing the internet provider and wondering whether the backups actually ran. That works until the day it doesn't: a laptop gets ransomware, the shared drive fills up, or a new starter sits for two days without a login.
We send technicians to Mt Eden practices and offices for setups and faults, and fix most requests remotely without anyone leaving their desk. Planned work is booked around clinic or client hours.
What's included
Backups that are checked
Microsoft 365 and server backups monitored daily, with a restore test so you know the backup actually works.
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.
Network and Wi-Fi
Firewall, switches and wireless monitored, so a failing device is replaced before it takes the office offline.
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 Mt Eden 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 Mt Eden: questions
Our practice runs on cloud booking software. Do we still need managed IT?
Cloud software moves the server away, but the computers, sign-ins, Wi-Fi, printers and email security are still yours to look after. Managed IT keeps those secure and working and gives staff someone to call on when something breaks.
Contractors use their own laptops in our office. Is that safe?
It can be, with the right controls. We keep contractor devices on a separate network, require multi-factor sign-in for business apps and limit what can be downloaded to personal devices, so your data stays under your control.
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.
What if we already have an IT person?
We can work alongside them. Co-managed IT gives your person our tools, security and backup and a team to call on for projects and leave cover.
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.
Do you support Macs?
Yes. We support Windows and macOS computers, iPhones and Android phones used for work.
