Our Story

We are an independent technology advisory team who put our clients at the centre of everything we do.

Trusted Partnerships, Digital Strength

Strong relationships are the foundation of our success
with our clients, our people, and our partners. Our approach is personal, values-driven, and built on trust. We don’t just provide solutions; we form long-term partnerships that evolve with our client’s needs.

We are proud to be trusted by some of New Zealand’s most successful private and public sector organisations.
As an independent firm, we stand by the highest standards of integrity and accountability, ensuring that every decision we make is grounded in transparency.

We understand that technology is the means to empowering people, not the end in itself.
While technology underpins our multi-disciplinary skills, we know that at the heart of every digital journey is an organisation’s most valuable asset: its people. Our mission is to help businesses and their teams unlock their full digital potential.

Our strength lies in our people.
The Ara Digital team is comprised of multidisciplinary experts who combine real-world pragmatism with consultancy analysis and insight.

Our vision is clear
we are committed to building a digitally strong Aotearoa New Zealand
