Local IT Support — North Shore
IT Support for Devonport Businesses
Devonport's business community is shaped by its character and its geography: hospitality and tourism serving ferry traffic and visitors, boutique retail along Victoria Road, and professional practices and consultancies, much of it in heritage buildings.
Two things follow from that. Hospitality and retail here are seasonal and weekend-weighted, so the busy periods are exactly when systems must not fail. And heritage premises make cabling and Wi-Fi genuinely harder than a modern building would.
What matters here
How we help businesses in Devonport
Heritage buildings resist networking
Solid walls, split levels and protected fabric you cannot drill through mean a single router in the corner will not cover the building. Properly placed access points, and wireless bridging where cabling is not permitted, are usually the workable answer — but it is site specific enough that we would want to look.
Weekends and summer are the critical windows
For hospitality and retail here, a payment system failing on a busy Saturday is the worst case. We plan changes around your trading pattern, and we are straight with you about what support looks like at the weekend rather than implying more than we deliver.
Guest Wi-Fi kept away from the till
Cafes and retail offering customer Wi-Fi frequently run it on the same flat network as payment and back-office systems. Separating them is inexpensive and removes a whole category of risk, as well as stopping guest traffic slowing your own connection.

We have utilised the services of Anvil Solutions to manage our IT needs — MS365 accounts, hardware, network, anti-virus, etc. They provide a timely and efficient response to acute situations, regularly send health check reports and supply advice for actions we may need to take to keep our system up to date and secure.
The team at Anvil Solutions are always responsive to my needs as a small business owner and I don't think I could run my business without them. Vinodh is really approachable and doesn't mind when I have to ask silly tech questions!

Ash and his team at Anvil are by far the best IT company we have come across over the years. Great people to work with, they are thorough in getting the best solution to suit your business and quick to take care of things.
