Working With PlanetWeb
Learn more about who we are, the businesses we work with, and how we approach every project.
It depends on what you are trying to achieve and how your business currently operates. We look at your existing systems, workflows, business requirements, and the problems you need to solve before recommending a service or combination of services. You do not need to know exactly what technology you need before contacting us.
We work with businesses and organisations across a range of industries, including financial services, healthcare, legal, oil and gas, telecommunications, professional services, hospitality and tourism, non-profits, and startups. The technology we recommend depends on the organisation's needs rather than applying the same setup to every client.
Yes. We regularly work around existing systems rather than assuming everything needs to be replaced. We can assess how your current technology, applications, websites, documents, and workflows fit together and identify where changes or additional systems would actually help.
Yes. The size of the organisation is only one factor we consider. A small business may need a simple technology setup that can grow with it, while a larger organisation may need help with multiple systems, locations, users, security, or information management.
We start by understanding what you need, what you are currently using, and where you are experiencing problems. Depending on the project, we may recommend an assessment or consultation before proposing a solution. This helps ensure that any recommendation is based on your actual requirements rather than a predefined package.
Yes. Where a project requires assessment or planning, we can first review your requirements and current environment and explain the options available. This gives you a clearer basis for deciding what should be done before committing to implementation.
Yes. We can work alongside an existing IT team where you need additional capacity, specialist support, implementation assistance, or help with a particular project. Our role can range from handling a specific deployment to providing ongoing support around the systems we implement.
Yes. Support does not necessarily end when implementation is complete. Depending on the service, we can provide ongoing maintenance, monitoring, troubleshooting, updates, and technical support to help keep the system or website reliable as your business changes.
Services & Solutions
Explore the technology services we provide and how they can work together to support your business.
We provide IT and digital services covering areas such as IT support and infrastructure, website development, business applications, cloud services, cybersecurity, document and information management, and ongoing maintenance. The services used depend on what your business needs rather than a fixed package.
Yes. We can support both areas where required. This can include website development and maintenance alongside IT infrastructure, applications, user support, security, and other technology needs. Having one provider can also make it easier to manage systems that need to work together.
Yes. Where systems need to exchange information or work together, we can assess the available integration options and help connect applications and workflows. The approach depends on the systems involved and what you need them to accomplish.
Yes. We can help businesses use cloud services where they make sense for their operations. This may include cloud applications, storage, collaboration tools, hosted systems, and migration from existing environments.
Yes. We can work with an existing website where the better option is to improve, maintain, or restructure what is already there. Depending on its condition and your requirements, this may involve redesign, content changes, performance improvements, new functionality, or technical maintenance.
Yes. Security can form part of our IT and digital services, including access controls, system security, backups, data protection, and other measures appropriate to your environment. The specific measures depend on the systems, information, users, and risks involved.
Yes. We can help your team understand and use the systems and services we implement. The level of training depends on the solution and your team's needs and may include guidance for administrators, users, or both.
Yes. Many businesses need more than one type of technology support. We can combine services where they need to work together, such as website development with hosting and maintenance, or IT infrastructure with business applications, security, and ongoing support.
Projects, Support & Getting Started
Find out what to expect during a project, how ongoing support works, and how to move forward when you are ready.
The timeframe depends on the type and scope of the project. A straightforward website or service setup may take considerably less time than a larger implementation involving multiple systems, integrations, users, or locations. We establish the expected timeframe once the requirements are clear.
Yes. We explain what we recommend, why it is appropriate for your requirements, and what the implementation involves before work begins. This gives you a clear picture of what will be delivered and what is required from your team.
This varies by project, but you may need to provide access to existing systems, business information, content, user requirements, or key contacts within your organisation. We will identify what is needed and when rather than leaving you to work it out yourself.
Yes, where migration is part of the service and the existing system supports it. We can assess the information or systems involved, plan the migration, and help move the required data or content while taking appropriate steps to minimise disruption.
Not necessarily. We plan implementation and migration around the systems involved and the level of disruption that can be tolerated. Where downtime cannot be avoided, we can plan the work for an appropriate period and communicate what to expect beforehand.
We can continue supporting the solution after completion. Depending on the service, this may include changes, updates, troubleshooting, maintenance, or additional functionality as your requirements develop.
Support arrangements depend on the service you use. We can provide ongoing support and maintenance for systems and services we manage, giving you a defined way to raise technical issues and get assistance when required.
Yes. Your technology needs may change as your business develops. We can start with the service or project you need now and add other services later where they fit your existing environment and requirements.
