LAN Creation joins A Corp

Same team. Same numbers. More behind them.

A Corp has acquired the managed services client portfolio of LAN Creation. There are no immediate changes to your day-to-day experience — you’ll continue working with the same LAN Creation team you know and trust, with Rod Arthur closely involved. Our role is to strengthen what sits behind that: more support, more capability and more resources where you need them.

What this means for you Speak to your team
LAN Creation
A Corp Computers

Newcastle since 2001. Muswellbrook since 2008. Two Hunter businesses that have spent their whole lives looking after organisations in the same part of the world — now working from the same bench.

The short version

Three things worth knowing

If you read nothing else on this page, read this.

Your team

The same people

The LAN Creation team is joining A Corp. The engineers who understand your environment are the same ones you’ll speak to next week.

Your service

Nothing for you to do

No forms, no new agreements, no re-onboarding. Your services continue as they are, and you keep using the contact details you already have.

Your upside

More depth when you need it

A larger engineering team, a 24/7 service desk and ISO 27001-certified security practices — available to you at the point you want them, not imposed on you.

What changes, what doesn’t

What stays and what improves

A change of ownership is a fair thing to be cautious about. Here is the split between what stays exactly where it is and what genuinely improves.

Staying exactly as it is

  • The people Same faces, same names, same understanding of your environment. The team you deal with stays with you as part of A Corp.
  • The way you’re looked after Practical, personal and local. Both businesses were built the same way, which is a large part of why this made sense.
  • Your contact details Same phone number, same email, same escalation path. If any of that changes, you’ll hear it from us well in advance.
  • Your agreements Existing services continue on their existing terms. Nothing to re-sign, nothing to renegotiate.
  • Local, on the ground Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, the Hunter Valley, Port Stephens and Sydney — still covered by people who can turn up in person.

Getting noticeably better

  • Support that doesn’t clock off A service desk operating 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. A problem at 2am stops being your problem.
  • Security we hold ourselves to A full security practice, run by a business that is itself ISO 27001 certified. We ask nothing of your environment that we haven’t been audited on in ours.
  • AI you can actually use Copilot readiness, permissions cleaned up first, and governance that holds — so AI helps your people rather than leaking your data.
  • A larger engineering team Specialists across infrastructure, cloud, connectivity, print and procurement, rather than one generalist stretched across all of it.
  • Performance you can check 98% of jobs completed on time within SLA, and a customer satisfaction score we publish rather than describe.
24/7 Service desk hours Support, every day of the year
98% Jobs on time Completed within standard SLA
94.6 CSAT score From 74 reviews in the last 90 days
ISO 27001 Certified since 2025 Independently audited security management

Cyber, AI and IT support

These are the three areas where joining A Corp makes the most immediate difference to a LAN Creation client.

SecureIT

Cyber security

Small and medium businesses too often compromise their security because enterprise tooling is priced out of reach or nobody in-house can run it. Our SecureIT suite gives you enterprise-grade protection, managed by people who do it every day — from a business that holds ISO 27001 certification itself.

  • Security as a Service — device and network security, managed end to end
  • Dark web monitoring for compromised credentials and client data
  • Internal and external vulnerability monitoring and reporting
  • Cyber security auditing, proactive or on demand, with an action plan
  • Governance, risk and compliance support for tenders, insurers and boards
AI enablement

Useful AI, not hype

Your staff are already using AI, with or without a policy. The job is to make that safe and genuinely productive, and that starts with your data and permissions rather than the tool. We help you switch it on in the right order — and we’ve written about why governance comes first.

  • Microsoft 365 Copilot readiness — what it will and won’t do for you
  • Permissions and data hygiene cleaned up before anything is turned on
  • Acceptable use and AI governance policy your team will follow
  • Visibility over which AI tools staff are using and what they’re feeding them
  • Automation of the repetitive work that quietly eats your week
ManageIT

IT support

Proactive and on-demand support for all IT environments. We act as an extension of your business, keeping the lights on — catching the things that were about to break, and moving fast on the things that already did.

  • On-call and on-demand support, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week
  • Endpoint monitoring and maintenance, so faults surface before you do
  • Support by email, phone or in person — whichever suits the problem
  • Co-ManageIT if you have internal IT and want backup, not replacement
  • A published service status page, so you’re never guessing

From Rod and from Alex

“This transition allows our clients to retain the personalised service they value while gaining access to deeper technical capability and broader coverage. A Corp shares the same practical, client-first approach to technology, and I’m looking forward to continuing to support clients as part of the wider team.”

Rod Arthur Founder, LAN Creation

“Rod has built an exceptional business with deep client relationships and a reputation for doing things the right way. We’re excited to welcome these clients into the A Corp family and to continue delivering the high standard of service they expect, while expanding the capabilities available to them.”

Alexander Slade Chief Executive Officer, A Corp Computers

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to sign anything?

No. Your existing agreement carries across as it is. There is nothing to sign, nothing to set up and nothing to re-onboard.

Who do I call when something breaks?

Exactly who you called last week. LAN Creation clients can keep using (02) 4947 4445, or reach the wider A Corp service desk on 1300 879 226. Both routes reach the same team.

Is my team changing?

No. The LAN Creation team is joining A Corp and the engineers who understand your environment stay on your account. That continuity was the point of this, not a side effect of it.

Who is A Corp, exactly?

A Hunter Valley business, founded in Muswellbrook in 2008 and grown steadily across the region and beyond over the 18 years since. A native managed services provider — it has never been anything else, so there is no legacy of old technology to work around.

Five values run the place: human-centric service, integrity, security, innovation and excellence. The business is ISO 27001 certified and was named in Australia’s Top 50 Fastest Growing IT Companies in 2025.

There is more at acorpcomputers.com.au.

Are there any changes to my agreement, including pricing?

Your existing agreement is not being changed. It continues on its existing terms through to your renewal, unless there is a requirement to engage with you on a new model.

Any discussion about pricing happens at your Technology Business Review, not by surprise.

What happens to my invoices and billing details?

Billing has moved across to A Corp, and clients have been sent the new remittance details directly. We’ll never send new bank details by email alone — if you receive something claiming to be from us that you weren’t expecting, call us on 1300 879 226 and check before you pay it.

For any question, concern or change to your billing, email accounts@acorpcomputers.com.au or give us a call.

What about the cyber and AI services?

Nothing is changing immediately. Your services continue as they are.

Over the coming period the A Corp team will be in touch to talk through the services that apply to your business — to make sure you’re covered under the right support agreement, that you’re protected against the threats we’re currently seeing, and to give you practical advice on where AI does and doesn’t belong in your organisation.

I’ve got a concern this page hasn’t covered.

Then we’d rather hear it now than later. Call 1300 879 226 or email sales@acorpcomputers.com.au and we’ll talk it through properly.
