We want to grow our business and be more digitised and efficient, but we don’t know where to start. Can you help us?

Probably! We love helping people grow and integrate technology into their networks. In fact, it brings us a great deal of super-nerd joy. We would love to help you.

Do you provide second opinions?

Sure thing. Whether your company is small or large, sometimes you just want to know you are on the right track before investing time, money and physical assets into a project. Having worked with technology transformations over the last several decades, there are often many circumstances where we’ve already done what you are trying to do. Putting our experience to work for you will short-cut your learning curve, avoid costly mistakes, and provide the certainty that you are implementing appropriate solutions.

Do you work with developers?

You bet. NIS has new construction experience, from technical oversight to designing and implementing infrastructure on lab and data centre build-outs. We’ve also helped smaller projects such as setting up security cameras on construction sites, and fixing random technology problems after no one else could figure it out.

We have our own IT department, but they need a strategic plan. Can you help us?

Yes! Having worked with executive teams for years, we understand that sometimes decision-makers have differing skill sets. NIS consulting services work with upper management to create technical road maps to guide internal IT departments. This can be project-based or long-term vision-based, with the option to remain available as needed throughout the process.

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.

We feel ya! While this is not a question per se, building custom high-end gaming machines is a fun side quest for us. If you find yourself wanting a better gaming experience or to gift the gamer in your life a badass gaming rig, just holler. We can help.

I have no idea what any of your acronyms mean, but I have XYZ internet problem at work or XYZ connectivity dream. Can you make it better?

It’s your lucky day! We’re well versed in helping people translate their issues or goals into technical objectives and implementing the solutions. For those who want to understand how everything works, awesome. You’ll get clear communication and a non-patronising education about what is happening. We’ll also provide options for your situation and any insights to remember for your particular situation. For those who prefer to just know the blinky lights will work without any of the boring details, we’ve got you, boo. Let us know your needs and the wizard will work magic to create a solution for you.

Can you help me with my house, too?

Sure! We can provide network support if you have a large residential property or need a home office/home automation network integration.

Where are you based?

While currently based in Auckland, New Zealand, we do travel for certain projects. We can also provide consulting services remotely, such as for our clients in Christchurch, Wellington, and Whangarei, as well as U.S.-based MSOs.

How does billing work?

An initial phone call to determine whether we can help is free. After that, we usually set up a site visit or an introductory consult to assess your situation. From there, a game plan is set up. Hourly rates start from $175 per hour, project-dependent.

Do you still work with U.S. MSOs?

We’d be happy to consult for most U.S. based MSOs. Have your people get in touch with our people. 

Will you fix my printer?

Unless you are talking about a call centre with network issues hosting printers, probably not. They’re too annoying.
