AI services

AI that ships real work, governed from day one.

Copilot rollouts that start with readiness, not licences. Custom agents and retrieval over your own data with Anthropic Claude, OpenAI and Azure AI. Usage policy and staff enablement so the whole business pulls in the same direction.

// retrieval grounded in your own knowledge base

How we work

Senior engineer, sensible defaults, no surprises.

You speak directly with the engineer doing the work. The founder is on every engagement. We document as we go, leave a clean trail of decisions and explain the trade-offs in language your business can act on.

  • Discovery first

    We start with a fixed-fee discovery and a written architecture decision record. You decide whether to continue with us.

  • Identity at the centre

    Almost every engagement starts with a clean identity model. Strong identity makes everything else simpler.

  • Backup that works

    Backups configured but never tested are not backups. We run periodic restore drills and document RTOs and RPOs.

  • Plain documentation

    Runbooks, network diagrams and password vault entries that another engineer could pick up without a tour.

  • Predictable bills

    Azure, AWS and Cloudflare spend with tagging, budgets and clear ownership. No surprise invoices.

  • Right-sized software

    Custom software where it pays back, off-the-shelf where it does. We will tell you which is which.

Government

Working with federal and state government.

Secure cloud, identity, software and AI for Australian agencies, delivered by a security-cleared senior engineer, entirely onshore and aligned to the ACSC ISM and the Essential Eight.

  • NV2 security clearance
  • Microsoft AZ-500
  • ITIL v4 Foundation
  • 100% onshore

Quick answers

Common questions

If you do not find your question below, please get in touch directly.

  • What size businesses do you typically work with?

    We focus on Australian SMEs and growing teams of around 5 to 200 people. We are happy to talk to start-ups and to in-house IT teams that need targeted help on a specific project.

  • Do you work with government?

    Yes. We deliver cloud, security, software and AI work for Australian federal and state government. The founder holds an NV2 security clearance and all delivery is onshore. See our Government page for details.

  • Can you help us adopt Copilot or build custom AI tools?

    Yes. We cover the Microsoft AI stack (Copilot for Microsoft 365, Copilot Studio, Azure AI), custom AI agents and integrations with Anthropic Claude and OpenAI APIs, and the governance to roll AI out safely.

  • Do you support businesses outside Sydney?

    Yes. We are based in Sydney and work with clients Australia-wide. Most of our work is delivered remotely, with on-site visits arranged as needed.

  • Can you take on a one-off project, or only ongoing work?

    Both. We do project-based engagements, security reviews, migrations and ongoing managed support. We can also provide a focused second opinion on architecture or a tender response.

  • Do you handle Microsoft 365 and Azure together with AWS?

    Yes. Many of our clients have a mixed estate. We treat identity in Microsoft Entra ID as the source of truth and federate AWS, SaaS apps and other clouds from there.

  • How do you charge?

    Most engagements start with a fixed-fee discovery, after which we agree either a fixed price for a defined scope, a monthly retainer for managed services, or time and materials for evolving work. We confirm everything in writing before starting.
