Hi there, I've been browsing these forums for ages and thought it'd be a good time to join. :).

I currently manage a large fleet of 3000+ Blackberry (yes... they still exist) devices from my little office in Wanganui. I've been in IT and retail for 10+ years and doing the Telco side of things for around 4 years.

Hopefully I can make some sort of useful contribution some time.

Welcome to Geekzone. When I saw Wanganui all I imagined is Selwyn Toogood saying "What should they do Wanganui, the money or the bag".

Minimal BES exposure at the moment (we deal with an external company for now)

Welcome! There are a few other W(h?)anganui-ites here who will presumably stick their heads up. I'm a recent import, work remotely for a large NZ startup doing devops stuff.

Welcome!

I left Wanganui 3 years ago and I greatly miss that town. Tauranga is beautiful but Wanganui is unique!
