AdvantageNZ

Advantage exists to provide peace of mind in an evolving technology reliant world. We were created by visionaries who for nearly 4-decades have been passionate about providing world-class solutions to meet the changing IT landscape. Since inception, we have successfully pivoted between hardware supplier, virtualisation specialist, private cloud provider and digital consultants. This wide history has given Advantage an excellent understanding of infrastructure, business risks, and technology concerns, providing a solid base from which to build our market leading services. Undeniably, the true value of Advantage lies in our New Zealand based team. We have an extraordinary depth of experience and skills and continuously invest in personal and professional development. Although experiencing high growth over the years, we have maintained our personable approach, agility and team culture, and we are consistently leaders in bringing new solutions to New Zealand. There are three distinct elements to Advantage's business: • Managed IT • Managed Security • Cloud solutions through our S5 Datacentre. The Managed IT team provide services to customers across New Zealand, supporting both enterprise and SMB clients. Typically, services include helpdesk and project delivery/support but due to skills shortages, we are increasingly providing VCIO support. Advantage has a distinct advantage in the market due to its in-house Security Operations Centre which operates 24x7x365. We apply a security-centric approach to our solutions, ensuring your data is kept safe. Advantage has built a successful, leading Managed Security solution, specifically targeted at New Zealand organisations. This solution has been created using best of breed security products, woven into a holistic protection suite that caters for organisations of all sizes – all backed by a New Zealand based team of security professionals.
