Each year, our team celebrates important milestones, but this year's celebration is particularly special.
This year marks the 30th anniversary of Office Solutions IT.
Yes, you heard that right!
That’s three decades of dedication, IT evolution, trust, and long-term partnerships with our vendors and clients.
Who would have imagined that what started as an office equipment provider in a small garage in Perth would grow into a Managed Service Provider with over 1,000 clients, focused on helping Australian SMEs use technology in practical and meaningful ways?
Let’s take a quick journey into OSIT’s humble beginnings, the challenges we faced, the milestones we achieved throughout the years, and what’s in store for the next 30 years.
A glimpse into Office Solutions IT’S humble beginnings
Back in 1996, the company was simply known as Office Solutions. The business landscape looked very different at that time. Printers, copiers, fax machines, and office supplies were the mainstream before the digital age introduced networks, firewalls, and servers.
Office Solutions IT’s early days were filled with challenges and changes. However, our focus on creating a positive impact through innovation and technology for our clients remained steadfast, making their paths to success a little easier.
As computers began to become essential tools for business operations, we shifted our focus from office supplies to tailored IT solutions for each client we serve.
Three decades of commitment and partnerships
Over the past three decades, we’ve evolved continuously, built strong partnerships, and collaborated with fantastic companies while ensuring our team has grown along the way. These transformations have placed us among Australia’s top Managed Service Providers, and we’ve stayed true to our mission from day one.
Here are some highlights from our journey:
- Transitioning from reactive support to proactive IT solutions for our clients.
- Implementing proactive support models that keep your business running smoothly.
- Helping clients migrate to cloud environments designed for modern SMEs.
- Building cybersecurity-focused infrastructure for business-grade defences.
At Office Solutions IT, we embrace innovation and adapt to the ever-changing business landscape and IT environment. We are committed to ensuring our clients grow with confidence amid uncertainty, market disruptions, and increasingly complex IT decisions.
So to achieve that, we’ve built long-term partnerships with trusted names in the IT world, such as Microsoft, HP, Dell, Lenovo, Adobe, Logitech, and Fortinet (just to name a few). These partnerships have been integral to our growth and success over the years.
Milestones that shaped our journey to success
Time flies when you're having fun, and over the past thirty years, we’ve had some incredible experiences along the way.
For instance, we’ve moved offices five times to keep up with rapid growth, and in just three years our team has grown from 30 to more than 120 engineers, specialists, and managers. Along the way, we’ve also secured ISO certifications, achieved B Corp status, been recognised as a Carbon Neutral organisation by Climate Active, and become a WALGA Preferred Supplier.
At OSIT, we value growth, face challenges head-on, and embrace new adventures that lead us to bigger and better opportunities. You can explore a comprehensive view of OSIT’s 30-year journey from 1996 to the present in our IT milestones to see the key moments that have defined our success.
Looking ahead to the next 30 years
It’s hard to predict what will happen in the next 30 years, especially in the fast-evolving tech landscape.
However, when it comes to navigating business IT solutions, managing tech costs, addressing cybersecurity threats, and facilitating ongoing digital transformations, you can trust that we will always strive to keep you one step ahead in your industry. We achieve this with practical, secure, and forward-thinking IT solutions built on decades of experience across various industries.
Even as we embrace new technologies, our mission remains the same as it has for the past 30 years: helping Australian SMEs work smarter, stay secure, and with confidence.
