About CCL

CCL supports clients at every step in the management and modernisation of their business technology.

From government departments, local governments and DHBs to energy providers, insurers, and special projects, CCL’s end-to-end IT management, cloud platforms, and technology services are tested and proven by some of New Zealand’s most demanding organisations.

CCL is also part of the Spark group of companies, New Zealand’s largest digital services provider, helping New Zealand business win big in a digital world.

At CCL, our mission is to become New Zealand’s most trusted multi-cloud and IT services partner.

Our clients trust us to do the right thing, and our success is built on this trust. We work together with our clients to help them address business and technology challenges in ways that maximise opportunity – and minimise risk.

Clients call on CCL because they want a safe pair of hands to navigate an uncertain future. We’re respected for doing what we say we will – and often deliver more than we promise.

That means thinking harder and working smarter to deliver results that often delight with unexpected savings, greater agility, and faster return on investment.

We work with you to select the right solutions to achieve the outcomes you want – that solve for today’s challenges, but that also set you up for future success, regardless of your capability and expertise.

Trust our team of experts to support your team, that can grow and work with you to adapt to change, take advantage of opportunities, and deliver the outcomes you expect.

Together with Spark, Spark IoT, Spark Health, Qrious and Digital Island, CCL is part of Spark Business Group, our country’s largest technology and transformation partner.

The combined capabilities of Spark Business Group enables us to be precisely the kind of partner you need on your digital modernisation journey.

Together we can transform your organisation by helping your teams adopt and embrace the cloud, and the opportunities it can deliver. And with data-driven innovation designed to help unleash intelligence and uncover entirely new possibilities. We’ll help you innovate and deliver value on your terms, with foundations in place to evolve as your needs change.

Together we enable your team to focus on, and excel at, their core activities. We do this by deploying our leading certified specialists across data, networks, cloud, collaboration and more. And we combine it with our ability to maintain, modernise or even revolutionise your platforms.

Together we connect your organisation to a brighter future. By building strong operational foundations with our world-class, high-speed data, mobile, and IoT networks. And by using them to create seamless, secure connections.

As a group, we help you take control of your businesses and set a foundation for the future, by giving you the insights, tools and capabilities that can serve your team now – and into the future.

Quite simply, we help New Zealand business win big in a digital world.

To help more organisations embrace hybrid cloud and use multiple cloud technologies and platforms, we have simplified the way we show up for our clients, providing a more seamless experience.

Bringing together our cloud services (CCL) and consulting business (Leaven) together, in October 2023 we merged Leaven into CCL and retired the Leaven brand. We continue to offer the same services that Leaven provided within CCL, and remain just as committed to public cloud, our public cloud partners, and continuing to develop our public cloud capabilities..

We pride ourselves on our people, and their ability to live our values and make a difference to our clients.

Founded by Darryl Swann in 1990, Computer Concepts Limited grew quickly from its IT engineering origins, opening a data centre in Christchurch in 2003, providing the launchpad for continued expansion and the formation of an IaaS platform serving 500 clients, including iconic South Island business such as Farmlands, Ravensdown, HW Richardson, LINZ, Lyttelton Port Company, Christchurch City Council, and Canterbury District Health Board.

As Christchurch-based Swann brought his vision to reality, in Auckland, Revera founders Roger Cockayne and Wayne Norrie – then Hitachi Data Systems managers – saw the future and built a ‘one-to-many’ IT services platform. It was the genesis of New Zealand’s cloud infrastructure build-out and next generation cloud services.

Revera was acquired by Spark (when it was previously known as Telecom) in 2013, while CCL was acquired in 2015, with both acquisitions helping Spark further establish its IT services and cloud capabilities.

In early 2019, Computer Concepts and Revera merged, to create CCL, and a combined team of more than 700 people delivering ICT and cloud services for organisations – public and private, small and large – across the country.

In mid-2020, CCL partnered with cloud and business transformation consultancy Leaven, another member of Spark Business Group, helping establish an end to end cloud proposition that encompasses cloud adoption and migration, digital innovation, and business transformation – complementing the pre-existing managed service offerings to deliver a comprehensive proposition to clients.
