About CJI Systems
Technology leadership for complex environments.
Some technology decisions are routine. Others carry real risk: to compliance, to customers, to safety, to the business itself. CJI Systems exists for the second kind.
Where we come from
CJI Systems was co-founded in 2016 by Craig and Lynda Irving. Between them they bring more than 25 years in some of the most regulated and scrutinised environments there are.
Craig's career has been spent inside complex technology change: aviation e-enablement, electronic flight bags, inflight connectivity and maintenance systems, alongside infrastructure and integration programmes in financial services, government and media.
Lynda came into technology through a non-traditional path, from business support into ten years of IT testing, quality assurance and project delivery across banking, insurance and aviation.
Why aviation matters to every client
Aviation taught us that good technology leadership is never guesswork. Decisions are documented, risks are tested, and nothing goes live on hope. We bring that same discipline to law firms, insurers, financial services providers and any organisation where getting technology wrong has consequences.
We know what compliance-ready looks like
If your organisation operates under FMA, RBNZ, the Privacy Act 2020 or Civil Aviation Authority requirements, you need a technology leader who already understands those obligations – not one who needs to get up to speed.
That same regulatory grounding applies to AI. When your board asks what your AI policy is, you need an adviser who can already answer – not one working it out alongside you.
How we work with you

- Quality without shortcuts
Rigour is how we protect clients in regulated environments. We test before we trust.
