Leichhardt’s commercial character sits somewhere between the creative inner city and the practical Inner West: design, architecture and media studios in converted terraces and warehouses, a long-established hospitality strip, small professional and medical practices, and trades serving the surrounding suburbs.
Kinsoft provides managed IT support, cybersecurity and cloud services across Leichhardt, Annandale, Lilyfield, Haberfield, Petersham and Rozelle.
What tends to be different about a Leichhardt business
Terrace and warehouse offices resist cabling. Heritage buildings here were never meant to hold a network. There is often one incoming service, no riser worth the name, and no sensible path between floors, so what is achievable varies enormously from one address to the next.
Design and architecture studios move very large files. Drawings, renders and video punish a connection built for email. Upload speed matters far more than download, and whether people work over the network or copy locally decides how the whole setup should be arranged.
Project staffing means access churn. Studios bring in contractors for a project and release them afterwards. Accounts created for a six-week engagement routinely survive for years unless they are given an end date at the outset.
Hospitality trades when IT support usually does not. Evenings and weekends are the busy hours, and that is precisely when a weekday arrangement is unavailable.
Managed IT support
Monitoring, unlimited helpdesk, patching, backup verification and quarterly reviews for a predictable monthly fee, typically $80-$200 per user per month. See managed IT support.
Cybersecurity
Endpoint detection and response, email filtering, MFA, phishing simulation and Essential Eight alignment. See IT security and cybersecurity and the free security assessment.
For a studio the two realistic exposures are client material held under confidentiality and the shared account — one login for an asset library or social platform, the password passed around, no way to revoke it when someone leaves.

Can internet speed be improved in an old terrace?
Often, and it depends on what is available at the street as much as the building. Upload speed is usually the real constraint for a studio, and it is worth checking the address properly rather than assuming.
How should we handle contractors who work on one project?
Accounts with an end date and access scoped to that project, so removal is automatic rather than something somebody has to remember.
Can you support evening and weekend trading?
Cover outside standard hours is arranged per site. Tell us your actual trading pattern and we will quote to match it.
