Technology does not just create efficiencies in your business. It inspires innovation. It retains talent. It delights customers. Perhaps most importantly, good technology makes a business more adaptable, able to handle any challenge and opportunity that comes its way. It’s a powerful advantage.

We manage and develop your IT services so you can work with greater insight and efficiency toward keeping your own customers satisfied. With unlimited local support when you need it, you can be sure we’ve got your back. After all, our business name comes from the ‘help key’ – so it’s in our DNA.
Since 1996 we have been helping businesses of all sizes to stay ahead of the technology curve, from cloud solutions to enterprise networks, and from best-in-class security to Desktop as a Service (DTaaS). Our passion for IT offers you competitive advantage, and our Australia-based support brings deep confidence.
The increased resilience, scale and performance adds up to less expense, greater security, fewer disruptions and better business.

Your data. Your systems. Anywhere. Any time.
Cloud computing is a simple but powerful and highly affordable proposition. It is about the delivery of all your computing requirements – from servers to storage, software to backups, security to analytics and much more – over the internet. A must-have for continuity, rapid scaling as your business grows, and developing a consistent customer experience across all touchpoints, cloud computing increases performance, innovation, flexibility and adaptability. F1 Solutions designs and implements cloud service via Amazon Web Services or Microsoft Azure.
The global leader in cloud solutions, AWS puts businesses in an environment where they can scale at speed, enjoy greater computing power, have fully integrated systems and processes, increase flexibility and adapt in real time to changing markets.
As an AWS Select Consulting Partner, F1 Solutions professionally manages every step of the cloud process, from engagement and discovery to cloud readiness and assessment, and to migration and management/maintenance of the solution itself. We begin with the ‘why’, before designing, developing and implementing a cloud solution unique to you. In doing so, we introduce to your business sophisticated functions and processes that increase efficiencies, automate time-consuming processes and offer deep, data-driven insight.
If your business utilises Microsoft platforms, we can introduce an entirely new level of functionality, visibility, flexibility and analytics by architecting your cloud computing strategy within Microsoft Azure.
Azure’s numerous applications, trusted by enterprise, start-ups and government, allow F1 Solutions to design a cloud architecture that utilises business intelligence to drive better decisions, sets disaster recovery options so you’ll always be up and running, enables high-performance computing, digital marketing and much more.
Professional services with all the trimmings
F1 Accelerate, the software development channel of the F1 Solutions business, delivers quality, custom software solutions to help organisations deliver a more sophisticated and streamlined user experience. Challenges faced in business, government and not-for-profit are unique, individual and powerful. So are our custom software solutions.
We have developed online shops, business process systems and project management software. F1 Accelerate produced Australia’s first electronic polling place management system, which is still in use. We’re also proud of the fact that our own OmniStar software, the sophisticated system that drives much of the nation’s grants, research and ethics programs, is still experiencing powerful growth after more than a decade of industry use and development.
