Mac in a
managed fleet.

Deployment and management of Mac, iPad, and iPhone at work: enrolled automatically, configured to a standard, and managed alongside Windows rather than beside it. It is for organisations with Apple devices that are currently unmanaged, because the tooling was built for Windows.

Yes. Macs sign in against Microsoft Entra ID, enforce conditional access, run Microsoft 365 natively, and can be managed through Intune or a dedicated Apple management platform. The gap is rarely technical. It is that the Windows tooling was set up first and the Macs were quietly left outside it.

Yes. The idea that macOS does not get malware is out of date, and in a business the bigger exposure is credential theft and browser-based attacks, which are entirely platform independent. A Mac in a managed fleet should carry the same endpoint detection, encryption enforcement, and update policy as everything else.

The purchase price is higher. Over a four or five year life the total is usually closer than people expect, because Macs hold their resale value, tend to last longer, and generate fewer support tickets once managed properly. Where the cost genuinely appears is in specific software that only runs on Windows, and that is worth checking before a switch rather than after.

It is Apple’s free portal for organisations, and it is what makes zero-touch enrolment and volume app licensing possible. Without it, every device has to be set up by hand and apps are tied to personal Apple accounts, which becomes a real problem the day someone leaves. If you buy Apple hardware for staff, you should have it.

Yes, with app-level policies that protect the work data without giving anyone visibility of the personal side of the phone. Work email and files live in a managed container that can be wiped independently, so a departure or a lost phone does not mean wiping someone’s family photographs.

Yes, and it is a common starting point. We enrol the existing devices without rebuilding them, bring them to a standard, and take on the support. The first pass usually turns up a few machines without encryption and a few running an operating system two versions behind.

We quote after scoping rather than before. Anyone pricing this work without looking at your environment is guessing, and the guess is rarely in your favour. Scoping itself is quick, and we tell you what it costs before we start it.

A first conversation takes about half an hour and costs nothing. Scoping is usually a week or two of our time depending on the size of the environment, and we agree the delivery dates with you before anything is booked in.

Yes, and it is common. We are happy to work as an extra pair of hands under your internal team, or alongside an incumbent provider on a defined piece of work. We will set out in writing where the responsibilities split, so nothing falls between us.

No. This can be delivered as a standalone piece of work for an organisation we have never worked with before, or folded into a managed agreement if you already have one with us. Plenty of clients use us for one thing and keep everything else where it is.

Our team is based in Auckland and we attend sites across the wider region. Most of this work is delivered remotely, so we support organisations throughout New Zealand, and we will say up front where being on site genuinely matters.

Named people, not a queue. You get a lead who knows your environment and stays with it, which is the difference between explaining your business once and explaining it every time you make contact.

You keep the documentation regardless, and anything registered in your name stays in your name. Whether we stay involved is your call. Some clients take it in house from there, others move it onto an ongoing agreement with us. We would rather you left cleanly than stayed because leaving was difficult.
