Business IT · Far North & Northland
Business IT support that actually turns up.
Microsoft 365, networks, security, cloud — run properly by someone local, who's been doing it at a serious level for twenty-five years. No call centres, no offshore ticket queues. Just your systems, working.
Based in the Far North. On-site across Northland.
Most IT companies that rank online can't actually get to you.
Search for IT support in the Far North and you'll find Auckland firms and offshore help desks — none of whom can stand in your office when your network's down or your email's stopped sending. True North IT is based here. We support businesses in person across Kerikeri, Waipapa, Paihia, Kaikohe, Kaeo, Kaitaia, Kawakawa, Mangonui and Doubtless Bay — the wider Far North is home turf, and we work across Northland by arrangement. And we run the kind of systems most local providers don't touch: proper Microsoft 365 tenants, multi-site networks, business-grade security.
This is business IT — built for owners and teams who need their technology to just work, so their people can get on with the job.
What we look after
Everything your business runs on.
Two halves of the same job: the platforms your team works in every day, and the foundations that keep them secure, fast and ready for what's next.
All product names and logos are trademarks of their respective owners; shown to indicate the platforms we support.
Group 1 · The platforms you work in
Microsoft 365 & SharePoint
The full Microsoft stack — email, Teams, SharePoint and OneDrive — set up, migrated and administered, with security and licensing kept tidy instead of left to drift.
Google Workspace
The same done properly for Google's suite — Gmail, Drive and shared docs — for the teams who run on Workspace instead of Microsoft.
Domains, DNS & email deliverability
Registration, DNS records and routing — the plumbing that decides whether your email lands in the inbox or the spam folder, whichever suite you're on.
Group 2 · The foundation underneath
Networking
Firewalls, VPN, wireless and multi-site connectivity. The difference between "the internet's slow again" and a network you never have to think about.
Security & data protection
Backups, access control and the everyday discipline that keeps your business safe — and keeps it safe to build on.
Cloud & infrastructure
Cloud setup and automation-ready infrastructure: the stable platform everything else — including AI — stands on.
Why us
Enterprise-grade experience, at the end of a local phone.
True North IT is Dave Turley — IBM-trained, with twenty-five years running production systems for national transport operators, healthcare providers, banks and not-for-profits, in the UK and New Zealand. That's not the usual background for a local IT provider, and it shows in the work: the same standards that kept a 24/7 healthcare network running get applied to your Microsoft 365 and your office network.
IBM-trained · Scottish Citylink · NZ Red Cross · Westpac · Steel & Tube · Whangaroa Health (8 years, ongoing)
"Dave's taken us from constant IT headaches to having systems we can actually rely on. When he recommends something, we know it's because it will help us, not because he wants to sell us something."

And when you're ready
Sound systems aren't the finish line — they're the starting line.
Here's the thing twenty-five years in IT teaches you: once a business's systems are solid, that's exactly when the interesting work begins. Reliable foundations are what make AI safe to put on top — automating the quoting, the admin, the customer enquiries, the paperwork that eats your week. Most businesses never get there because their systems can't carry it. Yours can.
Finding where AI would actually save you time and money is exactly what an AI Discovery session does — a structured engagement that turns your day-to-day pain points into a costed, prioritised roadmap.
Local, business-grade IT —
with somewhere bigger to go.
Whether you need your Microsoft 365 sorted this week or you're ready to ask what AI could do for your business, it starts the same way: a conversation.
