The Integration Benefits Clients
The partnership between Kinetics Group and OutSource IT has become effective as of April 2025, expanding the combined company’s technical capabilities and offering clients a broader range of services. The integration aims to achieve greater economies of scale, reduce service delivery costs, and position the new entity to meet the growing demand for managed IT solutions in New Zealand.
Benefits for Clients
- Increased economies of scale, reducing costs for clients
- Broader technical capabilities, supporting a wider range of IT services
- Enhanced ability to deliver locally tailored IT solutions
Expertise Expands
OutSource IT brings with it a team of engineers and the CloudSource service, a New Zealand-hosted data centre solution. CloudSource is designed for businesses running legacy software or requiring local cloud control, and is supported by engineers with direct knowledge of client systems. The combination of Kinetics’ existing cloud and IT infrastructure services with CloudSource aims to address the growing need for secure, locally hosted data management.
Support for Emerging Trends
The managed services market in New Zealand is experiencing growth driven by increasing demand for IT outsourcing, cloud services, cybersecurity, and artificial intelligence. Businesses are placing greater value on access to specialist knowledge across areas such as licensing, configuration, and optimisation. Kinetics has expanded its capabilities to support these emerging trends, including artificial intelligence tools such as ChatGPT, Copilot, Midjourney, and Gemini.
Training and Development
Kinetics has introduced a workshop series focused on artificial intelligence (AI) tools, aiming to show clients practical uses for these technologies. The workshops will focus on change management, user acceptance, and AI usage policy.
| Product | Description |
|---|---|
| Microsoft 365 | A suite of productivity tools, including Office applications, email, and collaboration features |
| SharePoint | A platform for collaboration and document management |
| Power BI | A business analytics service for creating interactive visualisations and business intelligence reports |
| Copilot | A tool for AI-powered writing, coding, and other tasks |
Kinetics will be launching a new client portal in late 2025, providing customers with real-time ticket tracking, system reporting, and access to knowledgebase resources. The portal will enhance the client experience, allowing clients to easily manage their IT services and support requests.
Despite the integration, there are no changes to client contact details or the existing service delivery model. OutSource IT employees have relocated to Kinetics’ Newmarket office, and engineers and helpdesk staff will continue to support existing clients through the transition.
The combination of Kinetics and OutSource IT enables the group to deliver greater expertise and resources, helping clients leverage technology to achieve their goals in a dynamic market. With the expanded capabilities, Kinetics is better equipped to address New Zealand’s IT challenges, from cybersecurity to digital transformation.
Philip Adamson, former Managing Director of OutSource IT, said, “This move provides our clients and team access to greater resources while preserving the personalised service OutSource IT is known for.”
Andrew Hunt, Managing Director of Kinetics, added, “This integration makes Kinetics better equipped to deliver locally tailored IT solutions to clients handling these industry changes. Our focus is accelerating how our customers adopt, use, and automate IT within secure and well governed frameworks.”
