AI, Open Source and Cloud Consulting in New Zealand
BTIT is a Wellington-based technology consultancy helping New Zealand organisations turn artificial intelligence, open-source software and cloud platforms into dependable business capability. We work from strategy and architecture through implementation, integration and ongoing managed support.
Technology consulting grounded in delivery
Good technology advice must survive contact with real systems, real users and real constraints. BTIT combines consulting with hands-on engineering so that roadmaps are technically credible, benefits can be measured and operational teams are able to run what is delivered.
Our work spans public-sector and commercial environments across New Zealand. Engagements can begin with a focused assessment or proof of value and continue through architecture, implementation, integration, security, operations and knowledge transfer.
AI consulting for practical, responsible adoption
We help organisations identify where AI can create useful outcomes, prepare the data and controls it needs, and move from experiments into maintainable services. That includes AI strategy, use-case prioritisation, data readiness, machine learning, generative AI, intelligent automation, decision support, retrieval-augmented generation and agentic workflows.
- AI opportunity and maturity assessments aligned with business goals.
- Data architecture, engineering, analytics and governance foundations.
- Rapid prototypes with clear success measures and production pathways.
- Security, privacy, human oversight, model monitoring and responsible-use controls.

Open-source consulting without unnecessary lock-in
Open source can lower barriers, increase transparency and give organisations more control over their technology choices. It still needs sound architecture, secure configuration, integration, upgrades and accountable support. BTIT helps clients select, implement and operate open-source platforms including PostgreSQL, Keycloak, GLPI, OpenProject, SuiteCRM, Odoo, dbt, Kafka and related data and business applications.
We can support a client-managed platform, provide an assisted service, or operate the application as a managed service. Our approach keeps documentation, portability and exit options visible from the beginning.

Cloud consulting with New Zealand options
BTIT designs cloud and hybrid environments around workload needs rather than fashion. We support cloud strategy, migration, platform engineering, identity, networking, observability, backup, disaster recovery and cost optimisation. Where data location or local support matters, our SiliconKiwi services provide New Zealand-hosted VPS, applications and storage.
We also help connect cloud platforms with existing applications and data, using repeatable automation and open standards so that environments remain understandable and supportable.

How an engagement starts
- Understand: clarify the outcome, users, constraints, risks and current technology.
- Prioritise: compare options and identify a practical first increment.
- Prove: test assumptions with evidence, prototypes or a focused implementation.
- Scale: productionise, integrate, secure, monitor and transfer capability.
Frequently asked questions
Does BTIT work with organisations outside Wellington?
Yes. We are based in Wellington and work with organisations across New Zealand and Australia using a mix of remote and on-site delivery.
Can BTIT start with a small AI or cloud assessment?
Yes. A focused assessment, architecture review or proof of value is often the best way to reduce uncertainty before committing to a larger programme.
Does open source mean unsupported software?
No. Open-source software can be professionally implemented and supported. BTIT provides architecture, integration, security, upgrades and managed support, and works with upstream vendors and partners where appropriate.
