EQUIPPED FOR SCALE, DEDICATED TO CLIENTS
Empowering Businesses Across Australia and New Zealand to Get Far More from Their Technology
If you're looking for a trusted IT partner, you've found them. Our mission is to ensure that your technology is always efficient and effective, so that you can focus on managing your business, not your tools. As your outsourced internal IT department, we offer support across the whole IT lifecycle: from advice, procurement and implementation, to managed services and IT asset recycling. As an established provider with branches in Melrose, North Parramatta, Belrose, Melbourne, Brisbane and Penrith, our Hotlines bring an empowering presence across Australia and beyond.
We are experts in helping SMEs get the best from their technology with a tailored approach that crafts the right solution to achieve your goals and meet your needs, while keeping within budget. We are a carbon-neutral company that values sustainability, social responsibility, and conducting business ethically.
What We're All About
We do IT that helps SMEs to drive strategic success. We do more than just 'lifeline' IT, we're your Hotline for success with all-things technology. We do this by owning, excelling and living.
Own
We take the burdens of managing IT from your shoulders as your fully outsourced internal IT department. We take ownership of managing your tech and focus our efforts on making it deliver ever-more value, helping your team to thrive.
Excel
We focus on creating consistent high-quality processes and solutions for our clients that maximize the value that they get from their full IT estate. We don't stop getting better for our clients, helping them to get the best value from their IT.
Transform
Standing out from the crowd requires using technology strategically and applying new solutions that empower your goals. We don't just make your tech work for you, we help you to translate the world of technology into competitive advantage.
Why We Do It
In an ever digitalising world, we have long recognised that for Australian businesses to remain competitive with the rest of the world, we need to leverage technology. Businesses with less than 500 staff though, often don’t have the budget or need, to have an IT department that can properly investigate, select, implement and manage complex, integrated solutions.
What they really need, is access to a SHARED IT department, where the costs of training, leave coverage, expertise, systems and processes and shared across multiple companies. This is at the heart of our shared risk model of IT management. Our mission is to safely and cost effectively manage your IT so that you can get on with running your business.
Sustainable and Ethical
We're proud to be a carbon-neutral company that brings a true dedication to integrity in our business. We're believers in creating win-win-win outcomes for our business, clients, and the wider planet, by integrating sustainability and social responsibility into our culture and processes.
