Engineered for Apple Driven Teams
We design and support IT systems tailored for New Zealand organisations that depend on Apple — combining reliability, security, and smart integration with the tools you already use.
Education
Schools and tertiary institutions need secure, scalable IT that supports both teaching and administration—without creating helpdesk overload.
Example use case:
Manage 500+ student devices with zero-touch deployment and automated compliance checks, reducing IT support tickets by 70%.
Challenges We Solve
- • BYOD policies with inconsistent device security
- • Wi-Fi that can't handle peak loads during exams or events
- • No unified identity system across Google Workspace, local apps, and network
- • Student data privacy and compliance pressures
- • Limited IT staff managing hundreds or thousands of devices
How We Help
- Apple School Manager + Jamf for zero-touch iPad/Mac deployment
- 802.1X Wi-Fi with device posture checks and NAC
- Cloud-based or open-source identity platform for unified identity and SSO
- Network segmentation (students, staff, guests, IoT)
- Automated backups and disaster recovery planning
- Compliance frameworks aligned with NZ Privacy Act and education requirements
Creative & Media
Creative studios, production houses, and agencies rely on Mac-heavy workflows with Linux back-ends for rendering, storage, and media management.
Example use case:
Keep Final Cut Pro and Adobe Creative Suite running flawlessly across 50+ workstations with centralised asset storage and automated backups.
Challenges We Solve
- • Mac workstations with inconsistent configurations
- • Large media files overwhelming consumer-grade storage
- • No centralised backup or version control for project assets
- • Freelancers and contractors needing secure remote access
- • Render farms and transcoding pipelines running on Linux
How We Help
- Jamf Pro for standardised Mac configurations and software deployment
- High-performance Linux file servers with SMB/AFP and ACLs
- Veeam backup with versioning and off-site replication
- VPN or Zero Trust remote access for contractors
- Docker-based render pipelines and media processing workflows
- Network-attached storage (NAS) with 10GbE for post-production
Professional Services
Law firms, consultancies, and professional practices need secure, compliant IT for client confidentiality, billing integrity, and regulatory requirements.
Example use case:
Enable secure remote work for 30-person law firm with MFA, encrypted file access, and audit trails that meet ISO 27001 requirements.
Challenges We Solve
- • Mix of macOS and Windows with no unified management
- • Client confidentiality and document security requirements
- • Remote work without compromising access controls
- • Compliance mandates (ISO 27001, GDPR, or sector-specific)
- • Email and document retention policies
How We Help
- Hybrid MDM for macOS (Jamf) and Windows (Intune or JumpCloud)
- MFA and SSO across Microsoft 365, Xero, and industry-specific apps
- Encrypted file storage with audit trails and access logs
- Conditional access policies enforcing device compliance
- Backup and eDiscovery-ready archiving
- Incident response planning and security awareness training
SMB
Small and medium businesses outgrowing ad-hoc IT need structured systems that scale without enterprise complexity or cost.
Example use case:
Scale from 10 to 50 employees without infrastructure chaos. Implement enterprise-grade security and backups at SMB-appropriate costs.
Challenges We Solve
- • No clear IT roadmap or security baseline
- • Staff bringing personal devices or using shadow IT
- • Outgrown consumer tools (Dropbox, personal Gmail)
- • No disaster recovery plan or tested backups
- • Reliance on a single "IT person" with undocumented systems
How We Help
- Right-sized MDM and identity platform (JumpCloud, Jamf Now)
- Business-grade file storage and collaboration (Linux NAS or cloud)
- Automated backups with tested recovery procedures
- Network upgrades with Wi-Fi that supports growth
- Documentation and knowledge transfer to reduce single points of failure
- Virtual CTO advisory to build an IT roadmap aligned with business goals
Common themes across all sectors
Apple deserves enterprise treatment
Apple devices are mission-critical, not "nice to have." They need the same level of automation, security, and lifecycle management as any enterprise platform.
Identity is the new perimeter
With remote work, BYOD, and cloud apps, the network edge is gone. Unified identity with MFA and device posture is your security foundation.
Wi-Fi is infrastructure, not amenity
Unreliable wireless kills productivity. Enterprise-grade design, capacity planning, and 802.1X authentication are non-negotiable.
Linux for the backbone, not the desktop
File services, identity, backups, and automation run best on proven open-source platforms—leaving users free to work on the tools they prefer.
Every Sector Has Its Own Challenges
Whether you're managing a school network or a design studio, we'll help you navigate regulations, data protection, and platform integration with practical, Apple-led solutions.
