Managed IT services for Auckland and Hamilton offices

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.

Your outsourced IT team

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.

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.

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.

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.

Security

Threat detection on every computer, email filtering, multi-factor sign-in and the settings that stop the common attacks.

Microsoft 365 admin

New staff, leavers, licences, shared mailboxes, Teams and SharePoint permissions, all handled for you.

Updates and patching

Windows, Mac and business apps updated on a schedule, with failures followed up rather than ignored.

Backups that are checked

Microsoft 365 and server backups monitored daily, with a restore test so you know the backup actually works.

Network and Wi-Fi

Firewall, switches and wireless monitored, so a failing device is replaced before it takes the office offline.

Starters and leavers

Laptop ready, accounts made and access set on day one. Leavers locked out and their data kept.

Planning

A regular review of what is ageing, what is at risk and what to budget for next year. No surprises in March.

Who is managed IT for?

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

Not sure where to start?

Our free IT health check looks at your devices, accounts, backups, security and network. You get a short written report with what is working, what is at risk and a price to fix it. No obligation.

Managed IT questions

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

Do you support Macs?

Yes. We support Windows and macOS computers, iPhones and Android phones used for work.

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.
