Seven years on from when IT Leaders began, and things have changed in the business technology world. Business is more competiive than ever.

  • Diagnose instantly using this technology, and then fix it remotely, without interrupting your staff.
  • Save ALL your office staff at least 10 hours per year EACH by performing after-hours scheduled maintenance to keep systems humming
  • Simplify management of your business technology to ensure your minimal expenditure of time by your staff
  • Predict your IT costs precisely by screwing them down to a fixed price, and making it simple for you to budget and calculate your ROI

DRIVE! Comes in three tailored plans for SMEs without an IT Department, and one special plan for larger enterprises...


DRIVE! [performance]

Our flagship IT Management Plan is for fast growing and successful businesses
that know it is important to get the best advantage from their IT.

DRIVE! [performance] makes budgeting easy, has no monthly surprises, and delivers you the best possible leverage to maximise return from your expensive human resources.


Using IT to Maximise Return:
 
The [performance] plan combines cutting edge monitoring and management tools with monthly meetings with an IT Leaders Productivity Manager who is an expert at matching your business goals to technology necessities.

Fixed Price IT Management (unlimited remote, onsite, reporting and planning assistance):
We are so confident that the [performance] plan will give you superior reliability and drive your business forward, that we offer it with unlimited Support Desk and Unlimited Onsite Engineering. This means we carry the risk of your downtime costs just like you, and everything about your IT is geared towards ultimate reliability and maximum Return on Investment.

Designed for YOUR Business and Easy to Budget: This Plan is entirely customised for your unique business needs. We perform an in-depth analysis to determine what is important to you and your business, and then we quote a single all-inclusive price for properly maintaining and managing your technology.

Perfect Ethical Alignment:
There is something not altogether right about regular IT assistance, where the more problems you have, the more the labour bill clocks up and profits the IT provider.  With DRIVE! [performance] we become financially responsible for the performance of your systems. If they aren't reliable, it costs us more to maintain them. Both parties are united in the desire to create a highly reliable, highly performing infrastructure.

 

DRIVE! [pace] 

For busy business owners and managers who understand that more reliable computers
and fast problem resolution equals more productive staff and a more profitable business.

Many of our 5-15 computer clients are on this plan
 
Significantly Improved Staff Productivity:
Our Leading edge technology monitors the health of your systems and reports to us on any problems found. In many cases diagnosis is instant, and problems can be fixed remotely, often with no interruption to your staff.
 
Unlimited Support Desk Assistance Included in the Price:
In the [pace] Plan we give you unlimited Support Desk assistance for your entire business. This means it doesn’t matter how many issues we find and fix, or how many times your staff call for help, you will never be charged any more than your single monthly fee. (Onsite engineering and hardware is extra.)
 
Task Management and Monthly Reporting to Save You Time:
Our ticketing system tracks every request and issue through to completion and keeps you updated during the process. We also send you a report monthly on the state of your network, issues resolved, and issues outstanding so you spend less time chasing answers and more time on profitable business activities.
 
The World’s Most Advanced Preventative Maintenance: We perform monthly software maintenance on your systems, without interrupting your staff. This essential tweaking and cleaning stops the “Win Rot” that slows computers to a crawl, and ultimately results in productivity improvements that far outweigh the price of the Plan.  Twice per year we also attend onsite to attend to computer hardware; clearing vents, checking fans and hard drives for signs of imminent failure.
 
 

DRIVE! [economy]

 
An entry-level, 5 star, responsive technology solution that covers your business essentials.
For Business owners with tight cash flow or with very simple needs.

(Most of our 2-7 computer clients are on this Plan)

 
Find and Fix Problems MUCH Faster:
Our Leading edge technology monitors the health of your systems and reports to us on any problems found. In many cases diagnosis is instant, and problems can be fixed remotely (with your authorisation). This saves you money with our cheaper Support Desk labour rate AND no onsite callout is required. You will see that every time there is an issue, it gets fixed faster and cheaper.

Free Yearly Antivirus Software for Your Protection:
We include the supply of a leading antivirus product for each of your computers, valued at $129 per computer. Once installed, you never have to think about antivirus again as our monitoring system will automatically tell us when it is isn’t working or when it is expired and needs replacing.

Automated Backup Checking for Your Peace of Mind:
We understand that it’s hard to remember to check whether your backup is working, so our systems are set to tell us when your backup has failed.

Annual Maintenance to Improve Speed:
Once a year we will attend onsite and clean and check all of your computers’ hardware and software. We recommend this maintenance to be monthly, but if you can't offord that, then at least the [economy] Plan ensures it gets done annually. Maintenance is essential to keeping your computers secure and running well. If you DON’T get any maintenance for your systems they will get slower and accumulate spyware, posing a security threat and also wasting your precious time.
