Small team. Big mission.
We are a small team of specialists who believe South African businesses deserve better than overpriced software and IT vendors who treat them like ATMs.
Because someone has to say it out loud
Every person on this team has the same story. We spent years watching businesses get taken for a ride. Vendors locking them into contracts they didn't need. Consultants billing for problems they created. Enterprise software priced for London and sold to Limpopo. We got tired of pretending it was normal, so we built something different.
Imbertech isn't a startup chasing funding or a consultancy chasing billable hours. Every person here is a specialist, not a generalist reading from a script. When you work with us, you talk to the people doing the work. No account managers between you and the answer.
Who We Are
A small team of highly specialized individuals who would rather lose a deal than oversell one.
Specialists, not generalists
Deep expertise in cybersecurity, compliance, development, and infrastructure. We don't dabble.
Builders, not resellers
We deploy, configure, and maintain systems ourselves. If it breaks at 2am, we fix it.
Honest, not polished
If something won't work for your business, we'll tell you. We've walked away from profitable deals that were wrong for the client.
Growing, not rushing
We grow because clients come back, not because we overpromised. Every hire is someone who cares.
Sybrand de Kock
15 years in IT across infrastructure, networking, security, development, and compliance. I started Imbertech in 2022 because I kept watching good companies hand over R20k, R50k, R100k a month to vendors who'd sold them a problem disguised as a solution. That money could have gone to hiring, to growth, to keeping the lights on during a rough quarter. So I stopped watching and started building. Open source, smarter architecture, eliminating redundant tooling. If it solves your problem and saves you money, we can run it.
How We Work
Every engagement follows the same five steps. No exceptions.
Assess
Audit your current setup: software costs, infrastructure, pain points, manual processes. Free for first engagement.
Recommend
Written recommendation with costs, timelines, and expected savings. No obligation. You decide what happens next.
Implement
Parallel running where needed. Your team keeps working while we build, migrate, or fix. No surprise downtime.
Support
Ongoing maintenance and support. You're not left holding a system nobody understands.
Measure
Track promises against delivery. We show you the actual number, not a vague claim that things improved.
How We Price
We don't bill by the hour.
Hourly billing punishes efficiency. If we solve it in two hours instead of ten, you pay less, so we'd be stupid to be fast. That model is broken. We don't use it.
You pay per phase.
Every project gets split into phases. You pay for Phase 1. We do Phase 1. You check the work. Happy? Pay for Phase 2. Scope changes? We re-quote before moving forward. You always know what you're paying for and what you're getting.
You can stop any time.
If after Phase 1 you decide it's not worth continuing, you stop. You've paid for what you received and nothing more. No exit fees. No penalty. No awkward conversation.
What You Actually Get
One team. Twelve services. One relationship.
Most businesses juggle five vendors for what we handle under one roof. Fewer handoffs, lower costs, and one team that understands your whole stack.
We'd rather show you than tell you
30 minutes. We look at your setup. You get an honest opinion and a real number. No pitch, no pressure.
