About Exodesk
Exodesk is a New Zealand owned IT company that has looked after South Island business technology since 1989.
Christchurch and Dunedin. Support teams here, not offshore.
What does Exodesk do?
We look after the technology a business runs on: day to day support, the servers and cloud services behind it, security, phones, and in many cases the software the business works in.
We work with organisations from teams of five through to several hundred staff across multiple sites. Some hand us everything and treat us as their IT department. Others have their own IT person and bring us in for specific parts.
- Managed IT services. Support, monitoring and maintenance on a fixed monthly plan.
- Cyber security. Protecting systems, accounts and data.
- Cloud solutions. Microsoft 365, hosted servers and New Zealand hosting.
- Business phone systems. Cloud calling and phone systems.
- IT consulting. Technology planning, budgets and roadmaps.
- IT hardware leasing. Devices and infrastructure on a monthly cost.
- AI solutions. Automation and Microsoft Copilot.
- Business software. Our own products, and systems we host, integrate and support.
How did Exodesk start?
Exodesk began in Dunedin in 1989 as Willis White & Co, founded by Chris Willis and Andrew White. The work then was supplying and supporting computers for local businesses.
The business grew with the technology: networks, then servers, then internet connectivity, then the shift to cloud. Each change added skills rather than another supplier.
We opened a Christchurch office in 2009. Willis White & Co Limited remains the registered company name and some long-standing Dunedin clients still know us by it, but both offices now operate as Exodesk. Same company, same offices, same people.
Where is Exodesk based?
Exodesk has two offices, both with staffed teams. On site when the job needs a person, remote when it does not.

Most clients are in Canterbury and Otago. We also support organisations elsewhere in New Zealand, and staff working from home, from vehicles and from sites.
How does Exodesk look after a client’s IT?
Most of the work happens before anyone notices.
- We watch. Servers, workstations, backups and security tools report in, so problems raise themselves.
- We maintain. Patching, updates and licence renewals run to a schedule.
- We fix. One number to call, owned through to resolution.
- We review. Regular sessions on what has gone wrong, what needs replacing, and what to budget for.
And when something does go wrong, we make it right.
What technology does Exodesk work with?
We work mainly with Microsoft: Microsoft 365, Windows, Entra ID, Microsoft security tooling and Copilot. We supply and support Lenovo hardware, and deploy and support 3CX phone systems.
We also develop and support our own software:
- Transsend. Mobile forms and data capture.
- Zinform Logistics. Freight and consignment management.
- Zinform Accounts. Business management software with an accounting core.
- finPOWER Connect. Lending and finance software. We are an Authorised Reseller for Intersoft Systems.
What does it cost to work with Exodesk?
Managed IT is a fixed monthly cost per user, with support included rather than metered. Projects, hardware and software are quoted separately.
The monthly figure depends on how many people you have, what you run, and how much of it you want us to carry. An IT assessment gives you the number. No charge, no obligation.

We will look at what you are running, then tell you what we would change and what we would leave alone.
