Why Applecross is different

Why Applecross businesses need

more than generic IT support

Applecross’s business mix — medical, financial and legal practices in premium office space along Canning Highway and Riseley Street — creates IT needs a one-size-fits-all provider isn’t built for.

Confidentiality

Confidential client data as standard

Medical practices along Canning Highway, financial planners and wealth managers on Riseley Street, and legal practices across the suburb all handle sensitive personal and financial information daily. A security lapse here isn’t just a technical problem — it’s a regulatory or professional conduct issue.

Team size

Small, lean teams in premium office space

Many Applecross businesses operate from serviced offices and coworking spaces around the Canning Bridge precinct — 2 to 10 person teams who need enterprise-grade reliability without an enterprise IT budget or a contract sized for a much bigger business.

Client-facing

Reliability your clients can see

Whether it’s a financial planning consultation, a specialist medical appointment, or a client meeting in a serviced boardroom, unreliable WiFi or a frozen laptop in front of a client reflects directly on the business’s credibility.

Buildings

Old double-brick and new developments alike

The Canning Bridge precinct mixes established double-brick commercial buildings with newer premium office developments — each with different network and WiFi coverage challenges that a one-size-fits-all setup won’t solve.

What’s included

Small business IT support services

in Applecross

Reliable, confidentiality-first, and matched to how a small practice or consultancy actually runs.

01

Network & WiFi setup

Reliable, business-grade wired and wireless networks for offices, consulting rooms and serviced office suites, including eero mesh WiFi for multi-room practices or older buildings with coverage gaps.

02

Microsoft 365 setup & migration

Email, calendars, cloud file storage and correctly configured user permissions, built for practices and firms that handle confidential client information.

03

Backup & disaster recovery

Automated, tested backups for client files, financial records and case documents, so nothing is lost to hardware failure or ransomware.

04

Cyber security hardening

Firewall configuration, endpoint protection, multi-factor authentication and phishing-resistant email, particularly important for practices bound by professional confidentiality obligations.

05

New starter & device setup

Laptops, phones and consulting-room devices configured and ready before day one.

Phone, remote or on-site support across Applecross and the Canning Bridge precinct, pay-as-you-go.

Getting started

What’s included in our

Applecross IT support

Step 1

Site assessment

We assess your office layout, building type and existing setup — whether you’re in a standalone consulting room, a serviced office suite, or a full commercial tenancy along Canning Highway.

Step 2

Upfront quoting

Defined projects like network setup or Microsoft 365 migration are quoted flat-fee before work begins. No surprise invoices.

Step 3

Confidentiality-first setup

Given how much of Applecross’s business community handles sensitive client data, we configure systems with data protection and access control front of mind, not as an afterthought.

Step 4

Device migration

Every existing device reconnected and working correctly, from reception PCs to consulting room laptops.

Step 5

Direct line to Sia

No ticketing system, no call centre. You call, Sia answers, and it’s the same person who already knows your setup.

Ongoing

Pay-as-you-go support

Phone, remote or on-site troubleshooting whenever you need it — or a small monthly plan if you’d prefer proactive monitoring.

Pricing

Transparent, pay-as-you-go

pricing for Applecross
