Common issues
Common IT problems for Redfern businesses
Scale-up outgrowing ad-hoc IT
As a Redfern technology business scales, break-fix IT stops being manageable. We move teams to a managed arrangement with proactive monitoring and predictable costs.
No secure staff onboarding process
Fast-moving start-ups need repeatable onboarding. We manage account creation and device setup so new staff are productive and secure from day one.
Mixed Mac and Windows creative environments
Creative and technology teams run Macs alongside Windows. We configure cross-platform file sharing so both work together cleanly.
No tested backup for development and business data
Technology businesses hold code, client work and business data that cannot be recreated. We configure and test local and cloud backups.
Wi-Fi that cannot handle a growing team
A growing office full of devices needs reliable coverage. We design business Wi-Fi that scales with the team.

Microsoft 365 support in Redfern
Redfern technology businesses and start-ups rely on Microsoft 365 for email, documents and collaboration. We administer the tenant, enforce multi-factor authentication and conditional access, and manage secure onboarding and offboarding as teams scale.
Microsoft 365 underpins email, calendars, documents and collaboration for most small and medium businesses. We set the tenant up properly from the start, match licensing to what each user actually needs, and configure security settings such as multi-factor authentication and conditional access. As your team changes we handle onboarding and offboarding, adjust licenses, and keep email and file sharing working smoothly. We can also coordinate with your specialist software or internet provider when an issue crosses between systems.
Cybersecurity and backup for Redfern businesses
Redfern technology and creative businesses hold development work, project files and business data that cannot be recreated. We layer endpoint protection and multi-factor authentication with tested, isolated backups so a failed device or a ransomware attack does not mean lost work.
Protecting a business means layering practical measures that genuinely reduce risk rather than adding complexity. We put endpoint protection on every device, enable multi-factor authentication on key accounts, review access controls, and keep software patched. Backups are the other half of the picture: if ransomware or a hardware failure strikes, a tested and isolated backup is what gets you back to work. We configure local and cloud backups, test restores on a schedule, and document a recovery plan so you know exactly what to do and how long it should take.
Business networks and Wi-Fi in Redfern
A Redfern office or co-working space needs Wi-Fi that scales with a growing team and keeps any guest access separate. We design business-grade coverage and test it across the space.
Reliable connectivity underpins everything a team does. We design networks with business-grade access points positioned for full coverage across an office, workshop or retail floor, and configure switches, cabling and security so the foundation is solid. For venues that host customers we segregate guest Wi-Fi from the business network. We test coverage before we finish and can monitor the network on an ongoing basis to catch issues before your team notices them.
Mac and Windows support in Redfern
Redfern creative and technology teams often run Macs alongside Windows machines. We support both platforms equally, configure cross-platform file sharing and manage mobile devices across the fleet.
Many businesses run a mix of Apple and Windows hardware, and both need to work together. We set up and support MacBooks, iMacs and Windows PCs to the same standard, configure cross-platform file sharing so everyone can collaborate, and handle email, printing and mobile device management across both platforms. When something goes wrong we troubleshoot the whole environment rather than pointing you toward one vendor or the other.
Onsite and remote support in Redfern
Most Redfern issues are resolved remotely, which suits fast-moving start-ups and scale-ups. We come onsite by arrangement for hardware, network setup and office fit-outs.
Most day-to-day issues can be resolved remotely, getting a team back to work without waiting for a visit. When hands-on work is needed — hardware installation, network setup, or a problem that resists remote diagnosis — we come to you. Support is available by arrangement as both remote and onsite, and we keep you informed throughout rather than leaving you to guess what is happening.
Getting started
How IT support works

A paid review of your devices, Microsoft 365 setup, security, backups and network that gives you a clear picture of what is working and what needs attention.
- 2
Agree the right level of support
We agree on the support that suits the business, whether that is ad-hoc help as issues arise or a managed services agreement with proactive monitoring and predictable monthly costs.
- 3
Day-to-day help when you need it
Your team contacts us when they need help. Many issues are resolved remotely; we come onsite by arrangement when hands-on work is required.
- 4
Review and plan ahead
We document the environment, explain what we did in plain language, and review things regularly so IT keeps pace as the business grows.
