// Our story
From a technology provider to a technology platform.
Be Digital Limited builds and runs the technology New Zealand businesses depend on — eight specialist brands, held together by one managed core called DigitalShield.
// How we got here
-
01
Where it started
Nobody owned the problem
Be Digital began as an IT services business with a simple frustration. Customers were buying websites from one company, phones from another, cloud from a third and security from whoever had shouted loudest that quarter — and when the pieces did not fit, nobody owned the problem.

02
What we did about it
We built the pieces ourselves
One brand at a time, each with its own specialists, its own website and its own pricing — and each designed to hand work to the next. A domain becomes a website. A website becomes email and Microsoft 365. A phone line becomes an AI receptionist. A camera becomes access control. A laptop order becomes a managed device.

What holds it together
One managed core, not eight products
DigitalShield runs, monitors and secures whatever mix of those capabilities a business takes. Customers do not buy eight products. They join through the one thing that hurts today and add the rest at their own pace — on one bill, with one team, and one number to call.

Where we are now
New Zealand first, and in-house
The Be family serves New Zealand first, with Australia and India for the brands whose customers reach across borders. We stay founder-led and keep engineering, telecommunications and security in-house, because that is what makes "one accountable partner" a fact rather than a slogan.
// Our vision
Being small should never mean settling for worse technology.
We want a New Zealand where a five-person firm runs on the same calibre of technology as the largest company in its industry — secured, monitored and kept current — without hiring a department to look after it.
- Enterprise-grade, SME-sized
- No IT department required
- Priced per user, not per project
// Our mission
Own the whole stack, so our customers never have to.
Bring every layer of business technology under one accountable partner, run it properly enough that it stops being something you think about, and keep proving it every month.
- One bill
- One team
- One number to call
// The ecosystem
Eight brands, one managed core.
Each brand has its own site, specialists and pricing. DigitalShield is the core they all plug into — and the reason a customer can take four of them without four relationships.
// What we stand for
Five things we actually mean.
Be curious
Keep learning. The technology that was right three years ago is rarely right today.
Be bold
Challenge the obvious, including when the obvious answer is the one that makes us money.
Be human
Technology is about people. Explain it in language that respects them.
Be accountable
Own the outcome. No hand-offs, no blaming the other vendor.
Be better
Always look for a better way, then write it down so everyone gets it.
// Where we work
New Zealand first, then across the Tasman and beyond.
New Zealand
Home market for every brand: local engineers, 0800 support and NZ pricing.
Australia
Be Cloud, Be Screen and Bea serve Australian customers, with accredited local partners where hands-on work is needed.
India
Be Cloud and Be Screen serve India for cloud licensing, content production and multi-site deployment.
// Let’s talk
