Akiva, is your one stop technology shop. We are a small but effective team who pride ourselves on answering the phone quickly, providing you with the right answers to your technical questions and if we can’t, we’ll point you in the direction of someone who can, then deliver the best technology solution for your business.
With over 20 years – and some very large Earthquakes under our belt, we embraced Cloud services early, so we are REALLY, REALLY good at delivering them.
You can ask any of our customers if you want!

Hayley Guglietta
Director/Environmental Warrior
Hayley started out her working life in hospitality and big game logistics, she has been working in telecommunications for over 30 years, and started The Phone Guys in 2005, then in about 2012 she merged it with a couple of other Technology companies to become Akiva. After completeing her MBA in 2011 Hayley decided she wanted a business with a triple bottom line and set about creating products and a business that enabled this to happen.
NOW 100% of Akivas profits go back into supporting Bee Awesome, and getting Hayley out working hard to clean up our waterways, advocating for our country to be the most food resilience in the world and working with the post earthquake communities in Christchurch to encourage community led activation.
