With AI creating both excitement and uncertainty for Kiwi SMEs, Hamilton-based tech firm Dynamo6 is helping businesses cut through the noise. Founder Igor Matich offers up some pragmatic, people-first digital solutions that he hopes will help drive real transformation and long-term growth.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

For many of Kiwi SMEs, the promise of AI remains more theoretical than practical. While 32 percent of SMEs have now started using AI tools, nearly double the figure from the year prior, a significant portion still feel the technology is not relevant to their operations, or simply don\u2019t know enough about it to get started.<\/p>\n

Yet, those who have invested in digital tools are seeing rapid returns. According to MYOB\u2019s latest Business Monitor, nearly half of SMEs that measure return on their tech spend reported a positive impact within six months, including improved efficiency, reduced workload, and greater marketing effectiveness. Still, confidence gaps, resource constraints, and fear of the unknown continue to hold many back.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s where companies like\u00a0Dynamo6<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>come in. Founded in Hamilton by tech strategist\u00a0Igor Matich, Dynamo6 helps businesses navigate the complex, often noisy world of digital transformation with a pragmatic, human-focused approach. Cloud-native from day one and now increasingly focused on AI enablement, the company delivers technology solutions that support smarter operations, scalable growth, and long-term capability \u2013 particularly for those who don\u2019t know where to begin.<\/p>\n

From Zagreb to NZ<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Igor\u2019s journey started in the former Yugoslavia, where he grew up in Zagreb during the turbulence of the Balkan conflict in the 1990s. In 1995, his family moved to Auckland, New Zealand, and it\u2019s here that he found his footing \u2013 and eventually, his future in tech.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy dad was a computer programmer, so tech was in the house. But I wasn\u2019t interested in the same way. I was more drawn to engineering and systems thinking,\u201d Igor says.<\/p>\n

Like many teens, he experimented with risk \u2013 but ultimately found focus through study, completing a diploma in IT and rising quickly through the ranks in the industry.<\/p>\n

Before long, Igor had earned a CTO role while still relatively young \u2013 working for major integrators like HP and building service teams for clients across New Zealand. But something was brewing.<\/p>\n

\u201cI could see the cloud was coming,\u201d he says. \u201cAnd with it, a whole new business model. The traditional way of doing IT \u2013 selling hardware, charging CapEx \u2013 it didn\u2019t fit anymore. To me, sticking with that would\u2019ve been like trying to hold back the tide.\u201d<\/p>\n

So, in 2012, he left the executive path behind and founded Dynamo6. The timing couldn\u2019t have been better.<\/p>\n

Betting on the Cloud<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Dynamo6 was born cloud-first \u2013 not just in name, but in ethos. While many IT providers were still trying to replicate on-premise infrastructure in new clothes, Igor says that he saw the power of hyperscale platforms like AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure to fundamentally reshape the industry.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can\u2019t compete with the scale of those global platforms. Trying to host locally and call it cloud just didn\u2019t make sense,\u201d he says. \u201cSo from day one, we aligned with the best of breed.\u201d<\/p>\n

That clarity paid off. Over time, Dynamo6 built a strong reputation across public and private sectors, delivering cloud migrations, infrastructure upgrades, security improvements, and custom software solutions for organisations including Fisher & Paykel Appliances, Hamilton City Council, and educational institutions.<\/p>\n

But what really set the company apart was its approach to solving business problems \u2013 not just tech ones.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re not just developers or engineers. We look at your processes, your goals, your data structure. It\u2019s about how you actually operate as a business.\u201d<\/p>\n

Today, that approach is more relevant than ever, especially as AI introduces a new wave of disruption.<\/p>\n

Cutting through the AI hype<\/strong><\/h2>\n

With the explosion of AI tools and LLMs like ChatGPT and Gemini, many business leaders are scrambling to figure out where to start. Igor\u2019s advice? Start experimenting with AI, but also get your house in order.<\/p>\n

\u201cAI that integrates with your company data isn\u2019t just plug-and-play,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt needs more consideration. You need the right cloud foundation, secure data, governance policies, and people who understand how to innovate. Otherwise, you\u2019re just creating risk.\u201d<\/p>\n

For Dynamo6, AI is already baked into their operations, from developers using it to speed up code and automate documentation, to delivering AI-powered solutions like image recognition and search interfaces for clients.<\/p>\n

But much of the company\u2019s current AI work is still in the \u201cpreparation\u201d phase; helping businesses safely enable tools like Microsoft Copilot or Google\u2019s Gemini, setting up data access and privacy controls, and advising on internal policies.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re often asked to help organisations write AI use policies, check their security, or explore safe adoption paths. Sometimes it\u2019s about building something bespoke; like an AI-powered search that helps a manufacturer access decades of documentation and specs instantly.\u201d<\/p>\n

And while AI gets the headlines, the real transformation work still often comes down to digital basics; better security, smarter data management, and cloud \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0readiness.<\/p>\n

Solving problems, not just selling tech solutions<\/strong><\/h2>\n

One of Dynamo6\u2019s key strengths is its ability to move between cloud infrastructure and software development with ease, providing integrated solutions that aren\u2019t locked into vendor-specific thinking.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe don\u2019t build or implement tech solutions just because someone asks us to,\u201d Igor says.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe carefully understand the business requirements first and offer trusted advice. For example, if a customer asks us to build a custom application, and if their requirements point to a SaaS solution that does 80 percent of what they need, we would suggest they use it and leverage software APIs to build the remaining 20 percent or adopt their business process.<\/p>\n

For Dynamo6, this problem solving approach extends to implementing and optimising core business systems like Microsoft 365, to building secure customer\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0portals and digital dictionaries to bespoke applications for logistics firms, the company is focused on creating long-term value, not short-term revenue.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve got the scale and skills to build enterprise-grade solutions with global reach from day one. Because we\u2019re already operating in that cloud-native, [DevSecOps] way of thinking.\u201d<\/p>\n

That technical capability is matched by a clear people-first culture. Something Igor, an avid footballer, credits to his passion for team dynamics.<\/p>\n

\u201cFootball is life,\u201d he laughs. \u201cYou can\u2019t just have superstars. It\u2019s about balance, trust, and getting the best from each role. That\u2019s how I think about teams at Dynamo6 too.\u201d<\/p>\n

One of the most distinctive aspects of Dynamo6\u2019s story is that it is headquartered in Hamilton. At a time when many tech firms were Auckland-bound, Igor saw an opportunity to do things differently.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe moved from Auckland to Hamilton for family, and just stayed. There\u2019s an amazing tech community and energy here. And when you combine that with remote capability, there’s no reason you can\u2019t scale nationally or globally from the Waikato.\u201d<\/p>\n

That vision is reflected in Dynamo6\u2019s team structure. While headquartered in Hamilton, the company also has offices in Auckland and Wellington working with clients across New Zealand and growing connections in Australia and beyond.<\/p>\n

The next few years will be all about scale. With an advisory board now in place and a plan to expand, Igor is looking at organic growth, strategic partnerships, and possibly acquisitions to take Dynamo6 to the next level.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re only scratching the surface. There\u2019s huge demand for what we do, especially from businesses that don\u2019t want the \u2018same-old\u2019 approach to IT.\u201d<\/p>\n

Igor recently spoke on the topic of AI and tech at the NZBusiness Future Tech & Your Business event.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

NZ tech\u2019s moment<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Beyond Dynamo6, Igor is vocal about the potential (and challenges) facing New Zealand\u2019s tech sector. While he praises our niche innovation strengths, particularly in Medtech and Agritech, he\u2019s also realistic about what needs to change.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need bolder leadership. More investment in people, in real capability. Tech is now part of every business, but too often it\u2019s still underfunded, under-prioritised, or misaligned.\u201d<\/p>\n

He believes CTOs and CIOs need a stronger seat at the executive table \u2013 not just to maintain infrastructure, but to lead strategic transformation.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not enough to keep the lights on. You need to be changing processes, improving customer experience, and driving real innovation.\u201d<\/p>\n

And when it comes to AI, that means not just experimenting with prompts, but building habits and systems that integrate AI into the core of how businesses operate.<\/p>\n

For businesses looking to level up their digital capability, whether it\u2019s cloud, security, software, or AI, Igor\u2019s advice is consistent: start with curiosity and a clear view of your business context.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou don\u2019t need to dive headfirst. But you do need to explore. Be inquisitive. Build a team that\u2019s willing to try new things. And most importantly, work with partners who don\u2019t just sell you tech, they help you solve the right problems and innovate.\u201d<\/p>\n

That mindset has driven Dynamo6 since its earliest days. And with AI now opening new frontiers, Igor says that he and his team are just getting started.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
