Something breaks. You call someone. They come when they can.
No one monitoring anything. Issues surface when staff complain. The IT person bills two hours, fixes the symptom, and leaves. Same thing happens in six weeks.
Stack2 manages IT for Australian small businesses — helpdesk, Microsoft 365, device setup, security, and backups. One fixed monthly fee per seat, engineers answer the tickets, no offshore script.
The basics, done properly — so IT is never the reason a day goes badly.
Something's broken — email us. Median first reply 18 minutes during AEST business hours. Same engineer follows the issue through. No call centre, no script, no waiting two days for a callback.
Email, Teams, and OneDrive set up properly and kept that way. New staff provisioned, departing staff offboarded, licence changes handled. You never need to log into the Microsoft admin portal.
New computer arriving Monday? We configure it before your staff member's first day — email, apps, access, security settings. No waiting a week while someone works from a borrowed machine.
Endpoint protection on every managed device, MFA enforced across Microsoft 365, anti-phishing policies configured. The security basics that stop most small business incidents before they happen.
Business files backed up off-site, Microsoft 365 data backed up independently of Microsoft. If a device fails, ransomware hits, or a file is accidentally deleted — you're back up within hours.
Every three months we look at what's running, flag anything worth changing, and give you a clear picture. No surprise invoices, no "we recommend upgrading everything" out of nowhere.
What distinguishes proper managed IT from the way most small businesses handle tech.
No one monitoring anything. Issues surface when staff complain. The IT person bills two hours, fixes the symptom, and leaves. Same thing happens in six weeks.
Endpoints monitored, backups checked, security alerts reviewed. Most problems flagged before staff notice. When something does need fixing, we're on it within minutes.
Staff have a question about their laptop. It'll be $120 to have someone look at it. They work around the problem. Small problems compound into big ones.
Raise anything, any time. No question is too small, no ticket has a price attached. Staff ask, we fix it — and issues don't sit unresolved because someone didn't want to spend money on a call-out.
First reply from a different person each time. Re-explain the problem from scratch. Escalation queue. Eventual fix from someone who's never seen your environment before.
The same engineers handle your account. They know your setup, your software, your team. Median first reply 18 minutes in AEST hours. No re-explaining, no offshore transfer.
If your question isn't here, contact us — an engineer will reply, usually within a few hours on business days.
Typically 2–50 seats. Most of our clients are small businesses — professional services firms, trade businesses, retailers, and operators — that need proper IT without the overhead of a corporate IT department. Single-person businesses are welcome too.
No minimum. A one-person business can sign up for a single seat. Seats are billed monthly and can be added or removed as your team changes.
Unlimited remote helpdesk, Microsoft 365 management, endpoint protection, user onboarding and offboarding, email security, backup monitoring, and quarterly reviews are all included. The only thing billed separately is project work — major migrations, new infrastructure, or office moves — quoted upfront before any work begins.
They email or submit a support ticket — that's it. Median first reply 18 minutes during AEST business hours (Monday–Friday). The same engineer handles the ticket from start to finish. No call centre, no script, no re-explaining the problem to someone new.
No lock-in contract. Month-to-month billing with a standard 90-day cancellation notice. Prices are held for 12 months from sign-up — no surprise increases at renewal.
