Managed IT in Napier & Hastings
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.
Napier & Hastings 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 Napier & Hastings businesses
Napier and Hastings form Hawke's Bay's twin-city centre, built on horticulture, wine, food processing, the port of Napier, and the professional, health and rural services that support them. Napier's art deco centre and Hastings' business districts host most offices. Many firms in the region are family-run and serve growers and processors across the Heretaunga Plains.
Cyclone Gabrielle in 2023 showed how quickly connectivity and premises can be cut off here, so businesses benefit from cloud files, offsite backups and backup internet. Orchards, packhouses and wineries also need networks that reach across sites and handle seasonal staff.
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 support Napier and Hastings businesses remotely for help desk, security, Microsoft 365 and backups. Onsite visits are for planned projects by arrangement and are quoted in writing.
What's included
Microsoft 365 admin
New staff, leavers, licences, shared mailboxes, Teams and SharePoint permissions, all handled for you.
Help desk
Staff email or log a request and get a technician, not a call centre. Most fixes happen remotely within the same session.
Updates and patching
Windows, Mac and business apps updated on a schedule, with failures followed up rather than ignored.
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.
Starters and leavers
Laptop ready, accounts made and access set on day one. Leavers locked out and their data kept.
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 Napier & Hastings 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 Napier & Hastings: questions
How can a Hawke's Bay business prepare for another major storm?
Keep data in cloud services with an independent backup, have a second internet connection, and make sure staff can work from elsewhere. We help set up and test that plan.
Can you support a winery or packhouse remotely?
Yes, for computers, accounts, security and network management. Physical installations are planned visits or done by a local installer, with our design and remote configuration.
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 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.
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.
