IT support in Hillcrest that keeps going, even uphill

We keep your devices, Microsoft 365, data and security running smoothly.

Hills are lovely. Patchy Wi-Fi and dodgy emails are not.

Hillcrest is a place people choose for the views, the green and the slower pace. Your IT shouldn’t be the thing that makes you huff and puff, even if the Comrades runners do it every year.

NETCONFIG is a South African managed service provider (MSP), which is a fancy way of saying we’re a caretaker for your technology. We look after your devices, Microsoft 365, data, security and staff training under a clear service level agreement (SLA), so you know what to expect and who to call.

Our head office is at 28 Essex Terrace, Westville, Durban, and we provide support throughout South Africa via dedicated technicians.

Sunday browsing, Monday sorting

Pies, plants, pottery and a happy crowd. When the queue builds, card machines and Wi-Fi need to keep up. We look after the tech behind the counter so you can look after the customers.

Great views, patchy bars

Brilliant for the soul, not always brilliant for connection. If your Wi-Fi gives up the moment someone walks to the garden office, we’ll help sort it out.

Race day, remote help

The route runs through Hillcrest and Botha’s Hill, so race-day roads get busy. A lot of IT help can be done remotely, so closed roads are less of a problem. We don’t hit the wall either.

Sound familiar?

If you’ve said any of these in the last month, you’re in good company.

“The Wi-Fi drops the moment I walk to the back office.”

We look at how your network is set up and sort out the weak spots, so you stay connected wherever you work.

“Is this email real, or a scam?”

Phishing emails keep getting sneakier. We add layers of protection and help your team spot the fakes.

“Our IT person is also our office manager.”

Someone kind volunteered once and now they’re on call forever. We’ll take that off their plate and give them their weekends back.

“When something breaks, who do we even call?”

One number, one friendly team, and people who already know your setup. No explaining it from scratch.

Tap “That’s me” on any that sound familiar and we’ll show how we help.

What you get when IT is our job, not yours

  • Fewer fires, more focus. We monitor, update and look after your systems all the time, so many problems are sorted before you notice them.
  • One team to call. People who already know your setup, so you never explain it from scratch.
  • Tech your team actually uses. We help you get more from Microsoft 365 and Copilot, and train your people so it sticks.
  • Straight talk, no jargon. Clear advice and honest recommendations. If you don’t need something, we’ll say so.
  • Costs you can plan for. A clear SLA means you know what to expect, with no nasty surprises at month-end.

Questions we hear a lot

What are managed IT services, in plain English?

Instead of calling someone only when things break, a managed IT provider looks after your technology all the time, a bit like a caretaker for your tech. We monitor, update, protect and support your systems under a service level agreement (SLA), so problems are often fixed before you notice them.

Can you help if we can’t get to the office, say on Comrades day?

Quite often, yes. A lot of IT help can be done remotely, so a closed road doesn’t have to mean a closed business. If something does need a person on site, we’ll plan around it with you.

Do you have an office in Hillcrest?

Our head office is at 28 Essex Terrace, Westville, Durban. We support businesses in Hillcrest and throughout South Africa via dedicated technicians.

Can you help us with Microsoft 365 and Copilot?

Yes. We set up, manage and secure Microsoft 365, and we help you get ready for Microsoft Copilot by sorting out data, permissions and training first, so it’s useful and safe.

Can you make my business POPIA compliant?

No IT company can do that on its own, because compliance also involves your policies and processes. We help you put the technical safeguards in place, such as access control, backups, email security and staff awareness. We recommend getting legal advice for the rest.

How do we get started?
