About Us: Award-Winning New Zealand IT Services

IT Should Drive Business Success

Our philosophy and approach have remained consistent since  day one: focus on business outcomes, maintain independence, and always take the “Closer Look” that others miss.

U

The “Closer Look” Approach

We dive deeper than other outsource IT providers to identify inefficiencies, waste, and optimisation opportunities that directly impact your bottom line and competitive advantage.

“Why, Not What” Philosophy

Since 2001, we’ve focused on understanding your business goals first, then aligning technology to achieve those outcomes rather than pushing specific products.

True Independence

We don’t sell hardware or software, ensuring our recommendations are always in your best interest. When we suggest a solution, it’s the right answer, not just what we have to sell.

Leading Edge, Not Bleeding Edge

We’ve been early adopters of cloud technology since 2005, but we implement proven solutions that deliver business value, not experimental technology.  That’s been proven over and over so we’re taking the same approach to AI.

No-Term Contracts

We believe in earning your business every day. Our premier no-term agreements mean if we’re not delivering value, there’s no barrier to changing providers. We also ensure all documentation belongs to you

Continuous Investment in Expertise

Qualified engineers, with 75% updated within the past two years. We maintain more Microsoft specialisations than any IT provider of similar size in New Zealand.

Why Experience Matters

Good engineers learn by experiencing the lifetime of their decisions and implementations. Our team has navigated Y2K, the rise of the internet, virtualization, cloud adoption, cyber-security and now AI integration.

This wealth of experience, combined with continuous learning and current qualifications, means we can anticipate challenges, avoid common pitfalls, and implement solutions that deliver long-term value.

Our founding principle: Hire engineers with both experience and qualifications, then invest continuously in their development to maintain cutting-edge expertise.

After over 15 years in Penrose, Kinetics moved into new offices in Newmarket, purpose built for our business requirements.
