About

Advantage is at the forefront of technology, striving to deliver greater value and results to our partners since 1986!​

As an organisation, we are very different to what we were nearly 4 decades ago. What has remained consistent and continues to shape our direction, is our values. They encapsulate everything we stand for.

We are a team of 70 and we are growing. With offices located across the north island, we serve hundreds of clients spanning the breadth of New Zealand, Australia, and the Pacific.

We have an audacious vision; one that our talented and diverse team is dedicated to achieving.

Exciting challenges lie ahead – new regions, technologies and the ever evolving world of cyber-security. Guided by our 4 core values, we will meet these challenges creatively!
