Remote is the job, not the fallback
Monitoring, patching, security and backups happen over the wire whoever you use. A provider in your suburb does the same thing from their desk.
IT support, Brisbane
We look after Brisbane businesses from the Gold Coast. Most managed IT is remote and always has been, and when a job genuinely needs somebody in the room, we come up.
Sound familiar
Why use a provider based an hour south? Fair question, and here is the honest answer rather than the marketing one.
Are we going to be the client that always comes second to the local ones?
What happens when something needs hands on it and nobody is in the building?
Is this just a Gold Coast company pretending to have a Brisbane office?
No, we will not claim a Brisbane office we do not have. Monitoring, patching, security, Microsoft 365, backups and most support tickets never needed anybody in the room. The part that does is what we drive up for, and we will tell you at the start if somebody closer suits you better.
Why us
What makes IT support good has very little to do with how far away the office is.
Monitoring, patching, security and backups happen over the wire whoever you use. A provider in your suburb does the same thing from their desk.
The same people every time, who already know what you run. Rarer, and worth more, than a postcode.
You reach somebody here who speaks plainly and sorts it out. No offshore queue.
Essential Eight aligned, in every plan. Not a premium tier sold to you after something goes wrong.
New sites, server work, cabling, a move. Planned rather than scrambled, which suits you better anyway.
A fixed monthly plan from a published price. Work out roughly what we cost before you ring.
The honest comparison
Much the same capability. A very different experience on the day you actually need help.
| What is being compared | Coast IT | Larger outsourced providers |
|---|---|---|
| Who you speak to | The same local people, who know your setup | Whoever picks up the queue |
| Where support comes from | Australia | Often an offshore help desk |
| When something breaks | Owned by somebody who knows your business | Logged, queued, escalated |
| On site when it is needed | Yes, we are local | Limited, or chargeable |
| How it is explained | Plain English | Jargon and account layers |
| What it costs | Published rates and a fixed monthly plan | Ring us for a quote |
Plenty of larger providers are very good at this. If you have five hundred staff across four states, that is genuinely not us. This is for the businesses the second column keeps letting down.
What you get
One fixed monthly plan from $119 per user, per month excluding GST, with what it covers written down before you sign anything.
Watched around the clock. Most faults are fixed before anyone notices.
Endpoint protection, email filtering, dark web monitoring and staff training. Essential Eight aligned, not an upsell.
Licensing, email security, permissions and support across your whole tenancy.
Daily backups of your servers and Microsoft 365, held in Australia for seven years.
Phone, remote and in person, from the same people each time.
A written roadmap and a budget, so a replacement is a decision rather than an emergency.
Where we are
We are an hour south of the CBD and we will not dress that up as a local office. If your setup genuinely needs somebody on site every week, we will say so and point you elsewhere.
Across Brisbane and the corridor
Remote support anywhere, and on site through these when the job calls for it.
Book a time
Pick a time and we will go through what you are running and whether we are the right fit from where we are. If somebody closer would serve you better, we will say so.
