About Us

Customer-focused Solutions

Located in Melbourne, SimplicIT offers an extensive range of IT consultancy, services & products. We focus on creating a seamless customer experience that flows through to your operational models, systems and processes, using a range of strategic and architectural methods and taking a holistic and long term roadmap view to provide direction and guidance to all initiatives around a central theme of Customer first. With these services and products available Australia wide, our aim is to change the approach of IT to be customer focused. Not the internal customer in the business functions that IT supports, but the actual customer. Using this context is at the heart of everything we do and drives us to deliver great results with passionate people that actually care.
