I'm Derick Payne, and I stand behind every job.
I founded Rizonetech in George, Western Cape. We look after IT, email, websites and business software for businesses across South Africa.
My story
Someone who knows how the whole system fits together
I'm the founder and director of Rizonetech. My work combines software development with the practical demands of running and supporting business technology.
A website, email service or business application depends on more than its own code. Hosting, security, access and the systems around it all matter.
I look at those connections as one job, so a fix in one place does not break something else.

How we work
The same four steps whether it is a website, a workflow or your Microsoft 365.
- 01
You describe the problem
In your own words. A screenshot or a forwarded email is plenty.
- 02
We come back with questions
Or a first view of what is going on, if it is already clear.
- 03
You get a written scope
What is included, what is not and what it costs, before any work starts.
- 04
You see the work as it happens
Working versions and short updates, then a proper handover. The logins and the reasoning stay with you.
