Welcome to Resilient iT

Resilient IT was founded in April 2015 by Simon Jordan.  After working as more of a generalist in  the Enterprise space for the last 12 years Simon discovered his passion for Business Continuity when he joined Plan B (being responsible for their largest key accounts).  Having worked there for over 2 years he left and formed Resilient IT to specialise even further in this space.

Resilient IT is formed off the basis that our customers no longer want to deal with generalist providers with large bags of product based tricks.  They need partners that are the ‘best’ at what they do, understand their domain completely and partner where skills are required outside this domain. Resilient IT is totally focused on Business Continuity, Disaster Recovery and Security and back this up with a strong and broad knowledge of ICT technologies and enterprise governance.

We can help to implement programmes or assist by training your own staff and guide them through the implementation of successful BCM programmes. We believe there is no other organisation in New Zealand with the depth of knowledge we have in our chosen area of expertise.
