// Transmission: capabilities
Everything your tech needs. Nothing it doesn't.
If it plugs in, beeps, or mysteriously dies at 4:59pm on a Friday, it's on my desk. One human to call, no finger-pointing, no "have you tried turning it off and on again." Every card links to the full detail.
Managed IT & Helpdesk
I watch your systems so you don't have to. Patching, monitoring and a real human on the other end of the phone, most issues get sorted before you even notice.
Managed IT Procurement
You tell me the problem, I plan, source, price and deploy the right gear, then run the warranty claims. Buying tech, taken off your plate.
Internet & Phone Provider
I'm your provider, not just your installer. Business NBN, fibre and phone lines, one supplier, one bill, one number to call when something's up.
VoIP & Phones
Cloud phone systems that follow your team anywhere. Auto-attendant, queues, recording and Teams integration, enterprise comms, small-business bill.
Security Cameras & CCTV
4K cameras with smart analytics, alarms and access control. Watch your place from your phone and decide exactly who gets through the door.
Cloud Solutions
Microsoft 365 and cloud infrastructure without the headache. Migrations done out of hours, and secure remote work from anywhere in the galaxy.
Networking & WiFi
WiFi that reaches the back office and the car park. Business-grade networks, VLANs, firewalls, VPNs and multi-site links that just stay up.
AI & Automation
Let the robots do the boring bits. AI assistants, workflow automation and document processing, less busywork, more knock-off-early.
Integrations
Integrations that finally make your apps talk to each other, POS, CRM, accounting and phones working as one. Double data entry, abducted.
Custom & Bespoke Builds
Off-the-shelf doesn't fit? Good. I build to spec, dashboards, automations, monitoring, designed around exactly how you work.
Hosting & Data Centre
Websites, email and servers in my own data centre, 99.98% guaranteed uptime. Your stuff lives on my planet, where I can keep an eye on it.
Cyber Security & Monitoring
The internet's full of little green men with bad intentions. Firewalls, MFA, endpoint protection and real-time monitoring, I keep them out and your data home.
Backup & Disaster Recovery
Backups that actually restore, tested, documented, rehearsed. When the worst happens you're back in minutes, not weeks.

// Why Alien IT
Most IT companies sell you products. We solve your problems.
One accountable human
Internet, phones, network, cameras, cloud and support from a single point of contact. When something breaks, there's no finger-pointing between vendors, we own it, end-to-end.
Tailor-made, never templated
We don't force your business into a package. We design around how you actually work, and if the right tool doesn't exist, we build it.
Vendor-agnostic advice
We recommend what's genuinely right for you, not whatever earns the biggest kickback. Sometimes the honest answer is "don't spend money on this."
Our own infrastructure
We host from our own data centre with 99.98% guaranteed uptime, so your websites, email and systems aren't at the mercy of a faceless third party.
Evidence, not excuses
Documented work, monitored systems, logged tickets and clear reporting. You'll always know what was done, when, and why.
Proactive, not reactive
From NBN and VoIP migrations to practical AI automation, we keep you ahead of the technology curve, without the buzzword tax.
// Flight plan
How we make contact.
Four stages from "my tech is doing my head in" to "huh, it just works now."
Recon
I learn your business, poke around the existing setup, and find where tech is quietly costing you time and money.
Blueprint
A plain-English plan and a fixed quote, scoped to your goals and budget. No surprises, no fine print from outer space.
Touch down
I build and roll it out carefully, after hours where it matters, so your team barely feels the switch.
Orbit
Ongoing monitoring, support and improvements. I stay in your corner of the galaxy for the long haul.
// Questions
Frequently asked questions.
Do you only work with businesses in Sydney?
No. Sydney's our home base and the greater Sydney metro is our day-to-day on-site patch, but we're not bound to it. When a job calls for someone physically on the ground, we travel and fly to wherever the client is, interstate or overseas, to get it done. For everything that doesn't need a physical visit, our remote monitoring, cloud tooling and own hosting infrastructure support clients Australia-wide.
What size business do you support?
Our sweet spot is small to medium businesses, typically 1 to 100 staff, who want big-business-grade IT without the big-business price tag or bureaucracy.
Can you take over from our current IT provider?
Yes, we handle provider transitions regularly. We audit and document your environment, take over licences, domains and credentials in a controlled handover, and make sure nothing drops in the changeover.
Do we have to move everything to you at once?
No. Many clients start with one pain point, say phones, cameras or backup, and expand once they see how we work. There's no all-or-nothing lock-in.
How fast do you respond when something breaks?
100% of incidents logged with our helpdesk get a response within 60 minutes, and our real-time monitoring means we often see (and fix) problems before you do.
