Managed IT in Parnell
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 Parnell. Most problems are fixed remotely first; when a job needs hands, a technician comes to you.
Managed IT for Parnell businesses
Parnell Road is lined with galleries, boutiques, architects, lawyers, wealth advisers and small consultancies, many in heritage buildings and converted houses. It is a popular address for professional firms that want a quieter setting a few minutes from the city.
Character buildings mean thick walls, limited ceiling space and owners who rightly object to new holes, so network upgrades need careful routes and sometimes wireless links instead of cable. Advisory and legal firms here handle confidential client documents, which puts the focus on secure email, document permissions and protecting against payment redirection scams.
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.
Parnell offices get onsite visits for network, Wi-Fi and computer work, planned with the building owner where heritage features are involved. Everyday help comes remotely from technicians who keep notes on your setup.
What's included
Updates and patching
Windows, Mac and business apps updated on a schedule, with failures followed up rather than ignored.
Help desk
Staff email or log a request and get a technician, not a call centre. Most fixes happen remotely within the same session.
Planning
A regular review of what is ageing, what is at risk and what to budget for next year. No surprises in March.
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.
Backups that are checked
Microsoft 365 and server backups monitored daily, with a restore test so you know the backup actually works.
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 Parnell 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 Parnell: questions
Can you install cabling in a heritage building without damaging it?
We plan the route before starting, using existing ducts, ceiling spaces and skirting where possible, and talk to the owner about anything that needs approval. Where cable is not practical, wireless links between rooms are an option. Everything is quoted in writing first.
How do you protect a small advisory firm from fake payment emails?
We set up email filtering, multi-factor sign-in and alerts for suspicious mailbox rules, and help you adopt a simple habit of confirming any bank detail change by a second channel. Staff get short, practical guidance on what these scams look like.
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.
What is not included?
Hardware, software licences and projects such as an office move, new server or full cabling job. Those are quoted in writing first, with no surprise invoices.
