CodeBlue increases South Island footprint

CodeBlue has expanded its South Island footprint, and its national reach, with the opening of a new branch – CodeBlue South – in Invercargill serving the Southland and Central Otago regions (including Queenstown and Wanaka).

CodeBlue now has eight branch offices, operating in Auckland, North Shore, Hamilton, Bay of Plenty (Tauranga), Hawkes Bay (Hastings), Wellington, Christchurch and Invercargill. 

CodeBlue South’s Branch Manager Ian Edwards says the new South Island branch will leverage CodeBlue’s national IT support network to provide clients in the Southland and Central Otago regions with state-of-the-art support services.

“We look forward to delivering the personalised, localised, ‘Trusted Advisor’ service CodeBlue is known for, while leveraging the national network to also deliver state-of-the-art services including Helpdesk, remote network monitoring and support, and automated monitoring systems – all designed to lower costs while improving service levels,” he says.

CodeBlue CEO Ken Davis says CodeBlue’s ability to successfully deliver enterprise-level IT service management and support systems to small- and medium-sized businesses at affordable fixed prices is key to the company’s stellar record of continued growth.

He says the largest companies typically spend 40% less ‘per seat’ on IT than smaller businesses do by tightly and methodically managing each phase of the IT infrastructure lifecycle. They have the systems and processes to manage their IT in an organised way.  CodeBlue makes this capability available to small- and mid-sized businesses as a fully managed proactive service, for a transparent, fixed price. Businesses can budget precisely, and not spend a dollar more – no exceptions, even in the case of hardware failure.

Davis says there is a noticeable and ongoing trend amongst customers towards fixed prices for everything from PC and network management, to disaster recovery.
“CodeBlue’s mission is to take hassle out of IT and reduce overall costs for our customers – and to keep ongoing costs fixed and completely transparent,” he says.

“We’re delighted to be able to bring the CodeBlue ethos to more of the South Island – enabling small and medium sized firms to cut their IT spend and achieve a superior level of more stable, reliable computing.  Proactive IT management for a fixed price is a proven, winning formula for us in the other centres, and we’re looking forward to bringing substantial savings to local South Island businesses.”
