Transform Conference Silver Sponsors the I.T. Team have a clear vision for this year’s TechSoup Conference, and they’re ready to bring it to life in Auckland this August 15-16.

Led by Sue Wilkinson, the I.T. Team were a significant presence at the 2018 TechSoup NZ Conference as delegates - and were so impressed by what they saw that they decided to sponsor Transform 2019.  

Based in Christchurch, but with a strong network and engagement across New Zealand, the I.T. Team has a strong reputation for delivering reliable, well managed and cost-effective IT services around the country.

They offer a great combination of services and community-centred values that Sue feels will resonate with charities and non-profits, and which makes them an ideal sponsor for Transform 2019.

“We love the work that TechSoup NZ does in helping charities and non-profits with technology, and the I.T. Team shares many of those community-centred values, plus we have the same vision of more effective use of IT, so we’re absolutely thrilled to be able to support the Transform 2019 NZ Conference,” says Sue.

“It’s been a really busy couple of years for the I.T. Team and we’ve seen lots of growth in our business, including new offices opening in Dunedin and Auckland, so we’re in a great position to be able to help the charitable sector, which is what the TechSoup New Zealand Conference is all about.”

“As Silver Sponsors, we’re stepping up our involvement this year, and we’re confident that conference delegates will be very interested in what we have to offer, we really want to help them to maximise their productivity. Our great managed services model provides them with the best opportunity to maintain and protect their IT infrastructure.”

“That means more confidence, more productivity – and best of all, it means more people across New Zealand receiving help and support thanks to the amazing work non-profits and charities do.”

“For us, that’s what it’s all about, and we can’t wait.”
