Who we are

ABOUT PACKED APPS

Packed Apps brings big business technology to small business at an affordable price. Founded in 2001, we bring together specialists in hardware, software and networking to solve technology problems with solutions that work.

Being a small business ourselves we appreciate the challenges of yours. That’s why we value personal client relationships over one-off trouble shooting. We’re the kind of company you can pick up the phone and call for straight answers, free advice, and tech support you can afford.

WHAT WE DO
Our services

IT CONSULTING

Independent tech specialists you can count on — from a one-off migration to acting as the IT department you don’t have.

Migration Services

We move workloads safely and securely with minimal disruption to your core business. Application dependency mapping and other best practices mitigate the risk of data corruption and keep transfers predictable.

IT Project Management

On-demand CIO services that help you keep perspective on the big picture while still dealing with the everyday challenges inside your company.

Integration & Deployment

We simplify building new IT infrastructure so your environment is built right the first time and fully optimised for employees, partners and customers.

Application Packaging

Operating systems, packages and deployment methods never stop changing. Staying on top of it is slow and costly — so the Packed Apps team does it for you.

Platforms we build on

SOLUTIONS

The platforms that run a modern business — designed, deployed and supported by people who work with them every day.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

IT asset management and support
Day to day

TECH SUPPORT

Organizations are often overwhelmed by the challenge of managing their IT assets. Most have a mix of old and new equipment and software that changes constantly through upgrades, repairs and refurbishments.

An asset management solution automates that: a central repository updated whenever procurement, leasing, upgrades, IMACs or repairs happen. IT managers and business operators get to manage inventory proactively and optimise the return on their IT investment.

And when something simply breaks, you can still pick up the phone and reach someone who knows your setup.

NOT SURE WHICH PLATFORM FITS?

That’s the conversation we like having. Tell us what your business needs to do and we’ll tell you honestly what it takes — including when the answer is “keep what you’ve got”.
