How we look after you
No ticket-number maze, and no trek down the N2 for the little stuff. Here’s what usually happens when you ask us for help.
You tell us what’s up
Call, email or log a request in your own words. No tech-speak needed.
We start remotely
Most problems are fixed from our service desk, so nobody waits around for a visit.
We visit if it needs hands on
When something has to be done in person, we arrange for a technician to come to you.
We fix the cause, not just the symptom
Once you’re running again, we work out why it happened so it’s less likely to come back.

Ballito business, Ballito problems
We know what tends to keep people up at night along the coast, and we’d rather help you sort it out before it does.
Power cuts haven’t disappeared
Load shedding is on a break, but outages still happen (and a good North Coast thunderstorm doesn’t help). We help with backup power for key equipment, backups that run on their own and cloud tools so work carries on. Fibre differs from street to street, so we help you check what suits your address.
Wi-Fi and network helpScam emails and dodgy calls
Invoice and banking scams keep getting cleverer. We set up email protection and multi-factor sign-in, and run short, friendly training so your team can spot the dodgy stuff.

POPIA expects you to protect personal information and to act quickly if something goes wrong. We help with the IT side: who can see what, backups, device protection and records.

Questions we hear a lot
Do you offer IT support in Ballito?
Yes. Our head office is at 28 Essex Terrace, Westville, Durban, and we have been looking after people and businesses since 1999. We support Ballito and the North Coast with everyday IT support, Microsoft 365, cyber security, backups and training, and dedicated technicians support our clients throughout South Africa.
Do you have an office in Ballito?
No. We work from our head office in Westville and look after Ballito remotely, with a technician visit when something needs hands on. That keeps things quick and joined up, with one team that knows your setup.
Is your IT support remote or onsite?
Both. Most problems are fixed remotely by our service desk, which is quicker for everyone. When something needs hands on, we arrange for a technician to visit. How visits work for your area is agreed when we set up your support.
What are your support hours?
Our office hours are Monday to Friday, 08:00 to 17:00. If you need cover outside those hours, ask us whether after-hours support would suit you.
Can you help with power cuts and internet outages?
Yes. We help you plan for them with backup power for your router, firewall and key devices, a mobile-data fallback, files kept in the cloud so work can carry on, and backups that we test. Fibre coverage differs from street to street, so we also help you check what suits your address.
Can you help us get our IT ready for POPIA?
We help with the IT side: who can see what, backups, device and email protection, and keeping records. POPIA also has legal and process requirements, so we work alongside your Information Officer or legal adviser. We do not give legal advice.
Can you help us with Microsoft 365 and Copilot?
Yes. We set up, secure and look after Microsoft 365, help teams get started with Microsoft Copilot, and run practical training so people use what they are paying for.
How do we switch from our current IT provider?
Start with a free IT assessment. We look at what you have, what is working and what is not, then plan the move in stages so your team keeps working while we take over.
Who is the purple cow?
That is Bexie, our mascot. Her name stands for “Be Exceptional In Everything”, and she keeps us honest. She is inspired by Seth Godin’s book Purple Cow, which is about being worth talking about. She has been known to take a day trip up the N2 to Ballito for the sea breeze.
Let’s have a chat about your IT
Tell us what’s bugging you. We’ll listen, ask a few questions and suggest a sensible next step. We’ll handle the speed; you handle the sundowners.
