Information Technology is a super-fast-paced industry combined with a changing world and IT can be incredibly daunting for even the most seasoned tech-focused people to keep up with. Where do you start your conversation about the challenges you face in business? The smart team and ManawaTech have organised a Tech Solutions Expo. We love an opportunity to support Tech Week 2023 so we’ve chipped in and have supported this event.


To have an opportunity for market-leading companies to come together in one room is an awesome opportunity for YOU and YOUR business to meet IT professionals within the local business community.


Most expos are about what a company can do for you. What brilliant new products are available, what new tech products can businesses WOW you with. Often companies spend huge amounts of money to dazzle, entice and demand your attention. There is nothing wrong with that, that’s just “business” right?  Let’s just think about that for a moment….in today’s world business owners are inundated with marketing, invites to events, meetings, teams’ calls, “networking” ……. the list doesn’t really stop. We seem to clear our emails and then magically we have another wave of people trying to “reach out” to us, or who are checking in to let us know they “haven’t forgotten” about us and that’s just from the people who “know” us let alone the spamming and phishing emails that bombard us daily.


The YORB team want this Tech Expo to be about something even more important than IT, we want this to be about YOU and YOUR Business. Let’s have a conversation.


Having the right IT infrastructure, the right hardware, being secure with data, solid cybersecurity protection, and using IT to help us in business are all incredibly important, no doubt about that, but what is even more vital in business is people. That starts with YOU. We want to know about You.  Does YOUR IT business partner know who YOU are?


Business is all about people, we’re local, you can phone us, and we will answer and listen, you can come to us, and we will find time and listen. You don’t have to be a technical genius to have a conversation with the Yorb team.  We believe finding tech solutions is about understanding you and your business first and less about technology.   It’s likely that the very first thing we will do is ask YOU about YOU. Who YOU are and what YOU do matters to us……please don’t be shy, come and talk to the YORB team, because everything starts with a conversation.

Cyber security in small-town NZ: why it’s time to pay attention

March 26, 2025
If you think cybercriminals only go after big corporations in major cities, think again.  The majority of incidents recorded by the NCSC impact individuals and small to medium businesses, proving that cyber threats don’t discriminate based on location - they target opportunity. With over 23,000 reports to the Netsafe helpline, and $17.8M in losses reported last year, small-town businesses are very much in the spotlight. In the past few months alone, three local accounting firms in regional New Zealand have suffered a data breach,and local ISP - Inspire was recently the target of a malicious cyber attack.

What's happening at Yorb - Q1 2025

March 21, 2025
We've had a flying start to the year, and given we're really just past the point where you start to realise what day it actually is, we thought we'd share everything we've been working on lately. 2024 In Review As we reflect on 2024, it's clear that this year has been one of remarkable achievements and significant advancements for Yorb. We were very proud that we won the Reseller News Innovation Awards in the Regional Partner Category, a testament to our commitment to excellence and innovation. AI has continued to dominate the headlines, with some businesses making great strides in how they work and interact. However, the majority are still grappling with understanding the full impact of this technology on their business, industry, and society. As we navigate this evolving landscape, companies must adapt to the security implications, ensure the integrity of data, and adjust to changing work and consumer patterns. In line with our commitment to security, we launched our new Security Platform, Yorb Defender 2.0. Designed from the ground up to be Essential 8 compliant, we believe this solution is now a best-in-class product that meets the requirements of modern business. 2025 Looking Forward Looking ahead to 2025, we have set ambitious goals following the EOS business framework. Our recent Annual Planning has helped us develop our 10-year, 3-year, and 1-year goals, with a strong focus on several key areas: Client Experience: We are dedicated to ensuring that every interaction with Yorb meets and exceeds your expectations. Automation Platforms: We will continue to develop our automation platforms to provide more consistent and efficient service. Investing in New Technologies: Our focus will be on AI, Hyper-Automation, and Data Governance to stay ahead of the curve. Team Development: We are committed to investing in our team, ensuring they receive the best skills training in technical, people, professional, and business areas. We will are also excited to be launching business peer groups focussed around AI, bringing together business owners and leaders from across the regions to explore what the future holds for all of us. This year we are injecting new energy into our Total Support agreement, we believe there is more to our partnership than phones calls, Teams Conferences and remote support. We are therefore introducing ongoing scheduled visits as part of the contract, alongside a productivity focus with scheduled access to our development team. Kicking off this year will be monthly seminars on topics such as Security, AI, Productivity, we want to hear what topics matter most to you. Look out for your invite in the coming weeks. I’m incredibly excited by 2025 and the opportunities it brings, we call breath a collective sigh that 2024 is behind us lets get cracking on what promises to be a great year. Daniel Goymer CEO
