How we can help

Our expertise across your everyday IT and the projects that move your business forward

Some clients hand us all of their IT, some bring us in alongside their own team, and others come to us for a specific project, with each service available on its own.

We run your day-to-day IT, Microsoft 365, devices, networks, cloud and backup as one managed service, with an AI-assisted service desk inside Microsoft Teams. Copilot implementation and support are part of the service, and we set up data loss prevention (DLP) where you need it.

We design, deploy and manage networks across offices, sites and remote teams, covering SD-WAN, firewalls, switching, wireless, secure access with SASE and ZTNA, and carrier connections on Fortinet, Cisco and Meraki. We design across Australia’s major carriers, with automatic failover and 4G, 5G or Starlink to bring new sites online fast.

We manage Microsoft 365, identity, email and endpoint security, investigate threats and fix what let them in. We run Essential Eight gap reviews and uplift, and immutable backup with restore testing, for you or alongside your IT team or provider. We also tighten how supplier payment changes are verified, and keep records ready for insurer and customer questionnaires.

We refresh servers and storage after testing whether existing equipment can run longer, assess VMware renewals and move workloads to Azure, Azure Local, Nutanix or Proxmox, with identity, connectivity, recovery and ongoing management designed in from the start.

We deploy Microsoft 365 Copilot, build AI agents on Microsoft Foundry and Copilot Studio, and develop applications that connect to your business systems. We also automate the approvals, reporting and processes that still rely on repeated manual work.

We specify, source and deploy servers, networks, devices and Microsoft licensing, including GPU capacity for AI workloads and Copilot+ PCs where the work calls for them. Bring us a single purchase, a renewal or a complete project, with financing available alongside outright purchase.

Our approach

How we are different

Once we’re working together, the difference shows in how problems get solved. We look at how each decision affects the rest of your environment, and plan security, support and projects together so nothing falls between them. We own what we deliver.

01
We address recurring problems at their cause
When an issue keeps returning, we investigate the configuration, dependencies or process behind it, carry out the changes needed and track what remains to be resolved.
02
Security runs through the daily work
Security findings lead to investigation and remediation across the affected systems, and we record what has been addressed and explain any remaining risk.
03
New projects fit the environment you already run
A new application, cloud platform or AI agent brings requirements for access, integration, security and support. We plan those dependencies as part of the project and carry them into ongoing operation.
How we work
We operate what we build

Our engagements follow the same path, from understanding how your systems fit together to running and improving them with you.

01
Assess and design
We look at how your systems fit together and what keeps going wrong, then agree the options and scope with you.
02
Build and secure
We configure, test and deploy the agreed changes, with security controls, recovery and handover prepared before cutover.
03
Operate and support
We run monitoring, support, maintenance and incident response through the agreed service, with documented responsibilities and escalation paths.
04
Review and improve
We review what’s working with you and agree what to improve next, including where AI or automation could take manual work out of your processes.

02Monitoring and incident responseSystems monitored around the clock, with a 15-minute response for P1 incidents under our SLA. Optional SOC & MDR extend this to security investigation and response.
03Security controls maintainedWe manage MFA, patching, endpoint protection, Microsoft 365 security and administrator access reviews as part of the day-to-day service.
04Essential Eight alignmentCore controls are aligned with Essential Eight according to your requirements, with a gap review and uplift available when you need recorded findings and an improvement plan.
05Backup oversight and recovery planningWe monitor backup status, investigate failures and maintain recovery records, with restore testing and additional recovery work following the requirements agreed for your environment.
06Escalation to the right expertiseComplex issues go to engineers who know the systems involved, with documentation and support history available to whoever takes on the work.
07Service reporting and reviewsA monthly service snapshot and quarterly reviews where we agree what improves next, with system records and known issues kept current.

Where your business can take AI next

With the foundations running well, our clients are putting AI to work in applications and agents that review documents, prepare quotations, record job progress and manage approvals.

We build on Microsoft Foundry, Copilot Studio, Power Platform or custom development, with Claude and OpenAI models chosen for the work. Each solution has a defined owner, clear limits on what it can access, human approval where it matters and support after go-live, and it sits in your tenant and stays yours. Where staff are already using AI tools, we bring that use onto approved platforms with the right controls.

For Microsoft 365 Copilot, we check permissions and information access before rollout and support adoption across the business, including a Microsoft-funded 30-day Copilot trial for up to 25 users.

In production

Where automation connects to operational technology, we assess the network connections and permissions it needs, how changes will be tested and the effect on production if it fails.

FAQ

Common questions

These are the questions we’re usually asked first, when you’re reviewing providers, planning a project or looking at AI.

Q.What size organisations do you work with?

We support organisations from around 10 users through to large multi-site and co-managed environments.

Fit depends more on complexity than headcount. Multi-site businesses, regional operations and internal IT teams that need more depth usually get the most from working with us.

Q.Can you work alongside our internal IT team?

Yes. We agree which responsibilities your team will retain and where we will contribute. That can include daily support, escalation of complex issues, management of particular systems or project delivery.

Explore co-managed IT →

Q.Can we engage you for a project or individual purchase?

Yes. Each service can be bought on its own, whether it’s a migration, a security uplift, an application, a hardware purchase or a licensing renewal. Ongoing support afterwards is your choice.

Q.How do you manage a change of IT provider?

We review access, documentation, systems, suppliers and outstanding issues, then plan the transfer of responsibilities in stages. The transition covers user support, security, licensing and the information needed to manage your environment.

Q.How much do Managed IT services cost?

Pricing depends on your users, sites, systems, security requirements and the responsibilities we take on. Our Managed IT pricing calculator gives an indicative estimate. The proposal sets out the managed service, licensing, project work and any additional services separately.

Q.Where should a business start with AI and automation?

Start with a real business problem. We look at where time is being lost, where information is difficult to find, where workflows rely on manual steps, and what data and permissions are involved.

The answer may be Copilot, Copilot Studio, a custom agent on Microsoft Foundry, workflow automation or a simpler process fix. The first project should be useful, contained and easy to run.
