Hi, we’re Adaptiv

Adaptiv empowers businesses with world-class data integration, expert consulting, and advanced analytics and AI services to unlock their full potential. With deep expertise in cloud transformation, we help organisations worldwide streamline operations, enhance decision-making, and drive growth.

Pioneering data innovation across borders

Welcome to Adaptiv, an independent, solution-agnostic integration practice founded in 2010. We recognised a gap in the market for a consultancy that specialised in integration and offered independent advice, free from vendor bias. And so, Adaptiv was born.

Over the years, we have gained extensive experience in integrating systems, applications, and data. Our expertise has helped clients across New Zealand and Australia seamlessly transition to cloud platforms, delivering clear and measurable value to their bottom line.

As businesses increasingly rely on data for smarter decision-making, we expanded our expertise in 2022 to include advanced data, analytics and AI services. This allows us to help clients gain deeper insights, improve efficiency, and drive innovation—a natural evolution of Adaptiv’s mission.

As a proudly Australasian consulting partner, we have been delivering world-class integration, consulting, and execution services to our clients for over a decade. With significant operations across New Zealand and Australia, our team operates from offices in Auckland, Christchurch, Wellington, Brisbane, and Melbourne. Adaptiv is co-owned by Ashley Helm (Chief Executive Officer) and Nikolai Blackie (Chief Technology Officer), with Phil Cullen serving as Chief Operating Officer.

At Adaptiv, we are known for our broad and deep knowledge of everything data. Our clients appreciate our ability to quickly deliver outcomes they can bank on. We are fast, friendly, agile, and no-nonsense—earning a reputation for providing professional service that is second to none.

We understand that our primary focus must be excellence in everything we do, from delivery and people to thought leadership and outcomes. Our range of flexible partnering models means that we can lead the way on implementation or provide valuable guidance and support to your teams and partners.

When you work with us, you get results faster and for less. Our specialisation in system, data, and application integration for enterprise clients means that, in many cases, we can deliver your projects twice as fast and for half the cost of internal development teams.

We specialise in:
Integration & Automation – Seamlessly connect your critical business systems.
Data, Analytics and AI – Unlock actionable insights and smarter decision-making.
Cloud Migration & Strategy – Secure, scalable, and cost-effective cloud solutions.
Technology Consulting & Execution – Fast, reliable, and cost-effective project delivery.

"We engaged Adaptiv to build out what seemed to be a complicated integration between SAP Business One and SimPRO. The Adaptiv team broke down the process and made it easy to work through the solution [..] Not only did Adaptiv nail the solution but provided suggestions/ideas for improvements and also catered for future improvements by building structure/detail in the coding. Adaptiv also provided dashboards and monitoring capability for the API processes. [...] Any issues are also quickly flagged/resolved as required. Finally Adaptiv have been a valuable partner whenever we have been considering updates to business processes, which require changes to customisations/processes within SAP or SimPRO.  Adaptiv have helped us find efficient solutions and have had the capacity/response to rapidly implement changes to the API when required. Would definitely recommend Adaptiv for any API solutions and ongoing management."

"Adaptiv’s bedrock engagement style is based on professionalism and capability. And the fact that they are just good people. They just fit in. Adaptiv stands out for their technology leadership and ability to create genuine, measurable value using MuleSoft and Solace. They’re also not afraid to tell us constructively when we’re not doing something right. That’s the sign of a good partner, and we really value that."

"A project of this size can be exhausting. The drain on morale and focus can be relentless. But Adaptiv was one of the easiest and lowest-risk partners to work with; they worked well with others and remained completely engaged throughout the entire project, despite it taking several years from start to go-live. Every speed bump was addressed or smoothed, regardless of who we were working with at Adaptiv or their level of seniority. Everyone was invested in our success."

Rachel Shaw, Programme Director- PGG Wrightson

"They are flexible and easy to work with, and the contract side of the engagement was simple. With other suppliers, we’ve had to spend up to six weeks just negotiating a statement of work, but with Adaptiv, it was a nice, quick, simple process which met the expectations of both parties."

Alex Zaicu, Head of Digital Platforms- The University of Waikato

"Adaptiv has been a key partner in transforming how we leverage our existing integration platform. They showed us how to optimise Boomi’s capabilities, allowing us to maximise the platform’s potential across our operations. Their proactive approach and deep understanding of the technology have enhanced our system’s performance, making Adaptiv an invaluable partner in driving both efficiency and future growth"

"I think Adaptiv comes with a unique proposition, and that’s its focus on integration and data. They’re not trying to be everything to everyone. Compared to some of the other partners out there, Adaptiv’s capabilities and skill sets are outstanding."

Glenn Penfold,Associate Director for Architecture & Digital Platforms-University of Waikato

"I was also delighted when Adaptiv suggested ways we could optimise our monthly Azure consumption costs. They weren’t contracted to do that – they were just trying to do the right thing for us. I think that shows the culture and the value that Adaptiv bring to the table beyond a transactional engagement."
