- Who is CT Business Solutions? and what is their relationship to Computer Troubleshooters?CT Business Solutions is a sub-brand of Computer Troubleshooters. Just as Coke Zero is to Coke or McCafe is to McDonald's. The brand was formed in 2012 to better enable those Computer Troubleshooters who wanted to, to identify more with the Business to Business market. The obvious tie is the CT used in the name, and the colours and slogans used in our branding.
Currently, in New Zealand, Computer Troubleshooter locations that identify as CT Business Solutions are Hamilton, Glenfield and Dunedin. That is not to say that other locations don't do business to business work, it was just a matter of individual CT franchisees being more comfortable with their "perceived" place in the market. CT Business Solutions in Hamilton is currently (2020) the longest-serving franchisee in the global Computer Troubleshooters organisation.
