Managed IT Services

managed it services

Technology has come a long way since the days of break/fix IT, and the reality is that most companies are not equipped to keep up with the pace of technology. As a result, many organizations find their IT to be reactive rather than proactive, and their systems struggle to keep up with the demands of a growing business in a digital world.

Falling behind on IT security, infrastructure and data backup and recovery is detrimental to organisations. As reliance on IT grows each year, the means to support it needs to ultimately evolve.

Hear from our happy clients

"We have utilised the services of Alex Locatelli and Computer Services for more than 20 years. We have been unfailingly grateful and appreciative for his competence, professionalism and commitment to keeping us operational with a minimum of downtime. Alex has become a valuable member of our "team”
Alex Witten-Hannah
Witten-Hannah Howard
We operate a medium-sized law practice, which has complex information technology requirements; firstly relating to our business having been the amalgamation of three separate practices into one business, secondly because we operate from two distinct locations (Auckland and Warkworth). On top of that we operate with several remote workers, and both partners work from out of the office at least as often as they would work in any office. Added to all of this is the essential requirement for all law practices as to protecting information and being able to ensure absolute confidentiality. Five years ago we were very happy with our then IT providers; Stephen Dudding as the IT Partner tried as hard as he could to stay on top of IT and to analyse our potential vulnerabilities. But he’s a layperson, and as we all know the IT world is one of experts and is far too complex for normal people to fully understand, right?
A chance recommendation led me first to Alexey Bogachev and through him to Alex Locatelli. Those first meetings were an absolute eye-opener. Firstly I no longer felt like the idiot in the room – computing concepts were made crystal clear, and clever analysis and questioning allowed me to articulate my fears as to our potential vulnerabilities. We regard Computer Services as a partner in our business; they are intrinsic to our profitability and success

"Alex Locatelli installed new computer Servers into our business 16 years ago. During the whole process of decision making, purchasing, installation and ironing out the details, Alex provided excellent advice; service in a very competent manner. Alex continues to monitor our servers on a monthly basis and is always professional, attentive, reliable & easy to get along with. He is very good at making 'computer-speak' easy for the layman to understand. In the past we have had the misfortune of dealing with a computer companies who promise much & deliver little. We were very pleased to be referred to Alex; have had no complaints at all in our dealings with him. I have no hesitation in recommending Alex to anyone looking for an all-round computer solution."
Reneé Lubbe

"Computer Services has made good recommendations when we have gone through the process of ordering new equipment. This has helped the business grow and enabled downtime for our computer gear to progressively reduce to a minimum over time. Success in business is all about successful relationships based on dependability and trust. Our working relationship with CSIT goes back to its formation in 2004. When computers do break down from time to time, Computer Services has always been there on often very short notice to put things right."

“Ignorant bliss” - defined as a world where businesses exist without realising they are hurtling toward an IT train smash.All was well at Burns & Ferrall Ltd on the IT front until a change in ownership at the incumbent provider prompted a retender. It became abundantly clear as soon as Alex and his team came in to review the entire IT platform and service/support delivery that a change was way overdue.In a few short months Alex and his team have completely overhauled and vastly improved every single aspect of our IT environment, not only from smart, economical changes to hardware, software and backup but to the key element of first rate customer service from true IT experts.As CEO of the group my simple measure of a good partner is when all staff without prompting are offering glowing reports, and for Alex and his team they have been flowing from day one. The productivity yields from the changes Alex has made are clearly evident and tangible in the daily operations of B&F.Its now certainly all systems go at Burns & Ferrall thanks to Alex and his FAB team. I cannot recommend highly enough the experience of dealing with Alex and his team, truly world class!!
Chris George
CEO Burns & Ferrall Ltd

"Alex has worked very professionally with us to the point of over and beyond the call of duty, liaising with our techno staff in Holland, their representatives when here in NZ, and always with a can do attitude. Throughout his many hours of working with us we have now built up a relationship of blind faith and total reliance on Alex to ensure we have the most efficient running system backed up by his system maintenance contract to fix anything should something go down, his Naverisk contract and computer off site back up support. My endorsement is absolute because he deserves it, especially when compared to some of the other pretenders I have had to deal with during my time."
Wally Dalgliesh

“I started my business from scratch in late 2012, and was bewildered by the choice of operating systems and hardware. Because I am out and about for much of the week, I needed portability, synchronicity and economy. Alex provided prompt and accurate advice, and set me up with the essentials: domain name, Dropbox and Office 365 and well as a fast and well-priced CPU. The whole system has never missed a beat. Any queries are answered quickly. Alex and his team are reliable, courteous and highly competent. I couldn’t recommend them more highly!"

Computer Services has looked after our support and hardware program since Alex set up business on his own account. It is a joy to have one area of the business that we never have to be concerned about. Our computer network has been incredibly reliable under Alex's care as his maintenance program identifies problems and corrects them before we are even aware of the issues.We have enough experience with Alex to rely on his judgment totally when it comes to our upgrade and enhancement requirements – what he recommends is always cost effective and suited to our needs.
