Starting a new business is an exciting journey filled with opportunities and challenges. Among the many decisions you will make, one of the most critical is setting up the right technology infrastructure to support your goals. Whether it’s choosing the right IT hardware or ensuring your software licenses are in order, having a solid tech foundation can make or break your business operations. At CNX, we specialise in IT support and consultancy, helping businesses across Aotearoa/New Zealand get started on the right foot.

Business Goals – The North Star of Your Tech Setup

Before diving into specific technology solutions, aligning your tech needs with your business goals is essential. Are you planning to offer online services? Will your team work remotely? Do you need to manage sensitive customer data? Identifying your priorities will guide your hardware, software, and IT support choices.

The Basics: Reliable Hardware and Software

1. Windows 11 and Beyond: Windows 11 is a great starting point for businesses looking to leverage modern operating systems. With enhanced security features, intuitive design, and seamless integration with Microsoft 365, it’s an ideal choice for startups. At CNX, we can help you upgrade to Windows 11 and ensure it’s optimised for your needs.
2. Reliable hardware: The proper hardware can significantly impact productivity. From desktops and laptops to tablets, your devices should match your business operations. We’ll guide you in selecting durable, high-performance equipment tailored to your industry.
3. Software Licenses and Subscriptions Whether it’s Microsoft Office, design tools, or CRM systems, having the correct licenses is crucial for compliance and functionality. CNX offers support to ensure your software is licensed correctly and up to date.

Efficient Files and Data Management

Efficient file management is a cornerstone of any successful business. Cloud storage solutions like OneDrive, SharePoint, or Google Workspace can help you organise and securely access your files from anywhere. With our consultancy services, we’ll help you choose and implement the best file management system for your business.
