From Whangārei to Wellington, our engineers are based where our clients are – so “we’ll send someone” means today, not Thursday.
Two things our clients often don’t realise we do.
Copilot done properly, AI agents & automation, and the security to do it safely. We run it on ourselves first.
Bookkeeping, payroll & HR from one team, one fixed monthly cost. The team that runs IT Live’s own books can run yours.
In a world where the villains wear names like ‘crypto-virus’ and ‘ransomware’ our experienced senior IT professionals are heroes. Committed to the cause, they consistently flex their muscles, up-skilling and training to ensure they meet and exceed global best-practise standards.
We are serious about what we do, but don’t take ourselves too seriously! Driven by a passion for delivering exceptional, personal, and genuine service, we love a challenge. We’re precise, meticulous, process-focussed and we get to the point. Which is probably why we’re bloody good at darts!

IT Live has been our IT partner for over 8 years. They've been fantastic since day 1. We love their sense of humour - in this industry, you need IT!

Thank you for the concerted effort and great service from all at IT Live during the changeover, it wasn’t a 5-minute job that’s for sure. Very professional, helpful in explaining things and prompt in sorting things out – as indeed Brandon was again today.

Copilot Cowork bills by usage. Why IT Live puts a spending cap on every client's Copilot credits, and what happened when one client nearly ran out.
A Northland CEO ran every customer contract through free ChatGPT. Why the free version is a data risk for businesses and what to use instead.
