FAQ

IT & Software, answered.

Do you work as a white-labelled extension of our MSP?
Yes. We work under your brand, in your RMM and PSA, so to your clients it’s simply your team — with more capacity and coverage.
How do you protect our code and client data?
Role-based access, signed NDAs, secure environments and onshore oversight on every engagement.
Can you work in our stack and tools?
Yes — we match engineers to your languages, frameworks, RMM/PSA and monitoring tools, and train on your processes before go-live.
Who manages the team day to day?
You set direction and priorities; a Tandem lead owns delivery, quality and security so nothing slips.
Can we scale per project or per sprint?
Flex up for a migration or release and down between — month to month, without permanent headcount.
How much does an outsourced engineer cost?
A dedicated engineer starts from about NZ$3,400 per month — typically 60–80% less than a NZ$120k+ per year local hire. You get the output without the salary, super, recruitment or downtime.
How fast can you onboard?
Most engagements are live in about two weeks, including training on your RMM, PSA and internal processes before go-live.
What does 24/7 coverage actually mean?
We monitor your fleet 24/7/365 with real-time alerting, and respond during your business hours to your agreed escalation process. Fully staffed round-the-clock response is available on request.
