    • Construction

      Licence-free, adaptable and scalable technology for construction companies and industry organisations across Aotearoa.

    • Cultural heritage

      Rōpū kohinga is a specialised team at Catalyst that works alongside you. We can help you create trusted technology solutions that care for your collections, make them easier to explore, and assist you with digital preservation guidance.

    • Education

      We've helped New Zealand education agencies and organisations, from the Ministry of Education that serves 800,000+ students, to universities, polytechnics, and training providers, with platforms that simply work. 

    • Energy & utilities

      The technology behind New Zealand's energy infrastructure should be as reliable as the infrastructure itself - designed to last, built to adapt, and grounded in long-term stability. We build for that reality.

    • Healthcare

      We can help you modernise systems, support new ways of delivering care, retain talented staff, protect personal health information beyond compliance minimums, and free up your team to focus on excellent care.

    • Media, telecoms & entertainment

      For nearly 30 years, we've worked alongside telecommunications providers, regional publishers, and media and entertainment organisations serving millions of New Zealanders.

    • Public sector

      For nearly 30 years, we've helped New Zealand local government and central government agencies take control of the technology that serves their communities - so it stops being something that happens to you, and starts being something you can shape.

    • Tourism & hospitality

      There's nowhere in the world like Aotearoa. We build the systems to help you showcase it. Platforms that attract discovery, are designed to support direct bookings and reduce third-party channel dependency, scale with demand, and can be easily updated.

    • Transport & logistics

      Map a route to modern, resilient systems without disrupting your operation. Technology that fits the way you work and keeps pace with your business as demands change.

    • Science & research

      We're the partner helping New Zealand researchers build solutions that last, respond when it matters most, and stay focused on discovery instead of systems. 

    • Software engineering

      Our software engineering experts thrive on solving the most challenging software projects that drive value for your business.

    • Strategy and consulting

      Our expert IT consultants focus on helping you streamline workflows, optimise your IT systems, and drive down costs while boosting productivity.

      We help you to create a secure, fully-customisable Content Management System (CMS) that is free from license and zero vendor lock-in, and works the way you need it to.

    • Learning technology

      Student success. Workforce capability. Compliance confidence. Our learning technology solutions are built to empower and backed by decades of expertise.

    • Libraries, collections and archives

      Rōpū kohinga provides trusted technology solutions to help care for your physical and digital collections for generations to come. We specialise in library, collections and archives solutions including Koha, DSpace, VuFind, and Islandora.
