What Makes Us Different

Our mission and how we work

Our mission is to give every New Zealand organisation access to world-class digital capability. We achieve this by aligning technology investments with business goals, designing secure and scalable architectures, delivering practical roadmaps for AI adoption, and embedding governance and visibility into every engagement.

We believe technology only creates real impact when it’s understood, managed, and measured properly. That’s why we focus on transparency, collaboration, and accountability in every partnership.

Where we can help

Unisphere provides support across every core area of modern IT. Our expertise includes virtual CIO and technology leadership, cyber security and risk management, AI and digital transformation, and solution architecture and infrastructure. Whatever stage your organisation is at, we help you move forward with confidence and control.

Clients and Sectors We Serve.

We support organisations across Central Auckland, the North Shore, West Auckland, East Auckland, and throughout New Zealand. Our clients value clarity, independence, and measurable results.

“It’s the ability to validate decisions, knowing the person you're validating them with is looking out for the best solution for you, taking into consideration your size and your costs and your risk appetite – everything.”

“Unisphere is an extension of the WorkSafe team. The team trusts and values the input that James provides.”

“They have an independent view. James is also very strong on the security side of things. He brings new things to the table that a lot of IT service providers don't – others tend to be stuck in a bit of a groove sometimes.”
