Local IT Support — East Auckland
IT Support for Howick Businesses
Howick has one of the highest concentrations of long-established professional practices in East Auckland: GPs, dentists, specialists, lawyers, accountants and financial advisers, many operating from the village and the streets around it for decades.
Long-established is the operative phrase. These practices frequently run systems chosen years ago that have simply kept working, supported informally by whoever was most confident with computers. That is fine until the day it is not — and the day it is not usually involves patient or client records.
What matters here
How we help businesses in Howick
Systems nobody has reviewed in years
A practice management system, a server in a cupboard and a backup that has been running since 2018 without anyone testing a restore is a very common picture. We start by establishing what is actually there and whether the backup would work, rather than recommending change for its own sake.
Patient and client confidentiality
Health information carries duties under the Health Information Privacy Code 2020, and legal and financial practices have their own professional obligations. The practical requirements are similar: controlled access, MFA everywhere including shared clinical logins, tested backup, and enough logging to establish what was accessed.
Succession and knowledge transfer
Practices where one long-serving person held all the IT knowledge are exposed when that person retires. Documenting the environment properly — what runs where, who the vendors are, where the passwords live — is unglamorous and genuinely valuable.

Outstanding services from this company — no matter who you select. These guys jump to at very short notice, are unflappable and can handle just about any IT challenge (and we have sprung a few on them!)
Ashley is a very personable, dedicated and professional — it has been a pleasure working with him sorting out our AV requirements and getting it deployed across our 9 offices.

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!
