Managed IT support in Tygerberg, minus the spots

Early Dutch settlers called these hills Leopard’s Mountain, and leopards are welcome to their spots. Your IT isn’t. Since 1999, we’ve been the friendly team that looks after devices, Microsoft 365, data and security for South African businesses.

Your turn: clear the spots off the hill

Each one is a classic IT gremlin. Fix all 5 and the hill is spot-free.

Who we help around the hill

From medical practices to warehouses, we speak your industry’s language. Pick yours and see if it sounds familiar. You can see everyone we serve too.

“Patient files live on three computers and a memory stick.”

Health information counts as special personal information under POPIA, so it needs extra care. We help put in place the technical safeguards that support your POPIA obligations: access control, backups, email security and staff awareness. For the legal side, we recommend getting legal advice.

Questions we hear a lot

Do you offer IT support in Tygerberg and Bellville?

Yes. Our dedicated technicians support businesses throughout South Africa, including Tygerberg, Bellville, Parow, Durbanville and the rest of Cape Town’s Northern Suburbs. Our head office is at 28 Essex Terrace, Westville, Durban.

What are managed IT services, in plain English?

Instead of calling someone only when things break, a managed IT provider looks after your technology all the time, a bit like a caretaker for your tech. We monitor, update, protect and support your systems under a service level agreement (SLA), so problems are often fixed before you notice them.

Can you help us with Microsoft 365 and Copilot?

Yes. We set up, manage and secure Microsoft 365, and we help businesses get ready for Microsoft Copilot by sorting out data, permissions and training first, so it’s useful and safe.

Can you make my business POPIA compliant?

No IT company can make you POPIA compliant on its own, because compliance also involves your policies and processes. We help you put the technical safeguards in place that support your POPIA obligations, such as access control, backups, email security and staff awareness. Health and children’s information need extra care, so these safeguards matter even more for medical practices and schools. We recommend getting legal advice for the rest.

Can you help a medical practice or school with its IT?

Yes. We look after devices, Microsoft 365, backups, email protection and staff training for practices, schools and training providers, with extra care for the personal information they handle.

How do you protect us from phishing and ransomware?

We set up layers of protection for your email, devices and data, keep your systems updated, look after your backups, and help your team spot dodgy messages. Sensible security, minus the scare tactics.

What happens when something breaks?

You call one number and reach one friendly team who already know your setup. Our support hours are Monday to Friday, 08:00 to 17:00, and your service level agreement (SLA) spells out how we respond. Call us on 087 354 5031.

How hard is it to switch IT providers?

Easier than most people expect. We start with a friendly chat and an IT check-up, build a clear roadmap, then set everything up with minimal disruption, so your team can keep working as normally as possible.

Is NETCONFIG the right fit for my business?

If your team relies on technology to get work done, very likely. We shape our support around your team, your goals and your budget, and we’ll tell you honestly if something isn’t the right fit.

How do we get started?

Book a friendly IT chat through our contact page or call 087 354 5031. We’ll ask a few questions, look at your setup and suggest a sensible next step.
