AMD & Datacom partnership

Modern devices for the AI-powered workplace.

We help organisations across New Zealand modernise their technology, manage complex IT environments, and prepare for the future of work. To deliver even greater performance and security, we’ve partnered with AMD, renowned for delivering adaptive computing solutions and advanced artificial intelligence (AI).

By combining our local expertise in fleet assessment, Windows 11 migration, and lifecycle management with AMD Ryzen™ AI processors, we enable businesses to adopt AI-powered devices with confidence. This delivers stronger security, higher productivity, and sustainable long-term value.

Unlocking the full value of your technology

Our role goes beyond supplying devices. As a recognised partner in the Windows 11 Strategic Refresh Initiative, Datacom helps you design, deploy, and manage AMD-powered solutions tailored to your organisation’s needs.

With our local expertise, flexible lifecycle programs, and ongoing managed services, your investment in AMD technology delivers measurable outcomes.

Together, Datacom and AMD ensure you don’t just adopt new technology — you unlock the full value of it.
