New Zealand Tech Sector Focuses on Managed Service Growth
Published
The technology landscape in New Zealand is shifting as businesses increasingly rely on external experts to manage their digital needs. Waruna Kirimetiyawa, the CEO of Lyra for Australia and New Zealand, recently outlined a strategic vision focused on the expansion of Managed Service Providers (MSPs) across the region.
As companies face complex cybersecurity threats and the need for faster digital transformation, many are choosing to outsource their IT operations. Kirimetiyawa suggests that the role of an MSP is no longer just about fixing broken computers, but about acting as a strategic partner that helps businesses grow and remain competitive in a digital-first economy.
For New Zealand businesses, this trend means better access to high-level technical skills without the need to hire large internal IT departments. By partnering with specialized firms, local organizations can implement cloud solutions and advanced security measures more efficiently, which is essential for staying protected against global cyber risks.
Looking ahead, the focus for the industry will be on building stronger relationships between service providers and their clients. As the demand for reliable IT infrastructure continues to rise, the ability of MSPs to provide consistent, high-quality support will be a key factor in the success of the New Zealand business sector.
