Fusion5 Picks New CEO from Capgemini
Fusion5 just got a new boss. He came from Capgemini.
The Problem for NZ Firms
Big IT firms keep buying smaller ones. Your local firm might change hands.
Joe’s Cafe in Auckland lost their IT help. The new team didn’t know his name.
What This Means
When IT firms merge, staff leave. You lose your tech contact who knows you.
It’s like your doctor moving away. The new one needs your full history.
Why Kiwis Should Care
NZ firms need local IT help. Offshore teams don’t get our laws.
The Privacy Act 2020 needs local know-how. Foreign firms often miss this.
The Fix
Pick NZ IT firms who stay. They grow with you, not sell out.
Local teams know your needs. They answer their phones fast.
What To Do Now
- Check who owns your IT firm – Ask if they’ll sell soon.
- Meet your tech team – Know their names and faces.
- Get a local back-up plan – Have a second IT firm ready.
- Review your contracts – Ensure you can leave if needed.
Real NZ Results
Wellington firm Smith & Co stayed local. They kept the same IT team eight years.
Their IT costs dropped 30%. Staff love the personal service.
Pro Tip: Always ask who owns your IT firm. Local is best.
