About us
Simplifying IT Since 1987
Making technology simpler and more secure, so SMBs can stay ahead in an ever-evolving digital world.
Our Story
Founded in Melbourne
BusinessWorks opened in Melbourne in 1987, back when IT looked more like fax and printer sales, servicing and support. Throughout the years, we’ve evolved with technology, cyber security and innovation so small to medium-sized businesses can be confident in IT that supports resilience and success. Today we’re proud to still be going strong – and we’ve grown from a Melbourne-based business into a proven technology partner supporting more than 150 businesses across Australia.
But not everything’s changed. What’s stayed consistent is a focus on building genuine relationships with our team and clients (many have been with us for decades), and making IT simple, secure and reliable. This no-nonsense approach has stood the test of time for good reason, and it’s still at the heart of how we operate today.
The BusinessWorks Difference
Why We’re the Long-Term IT Partner of Melbourne and Sydney SMBs
Local support. A proactive approach. Transparent next steps. Trusted experience. And people that actually make time for you.
These are just some of the reasons we’ve built a solid name as the IT partner local SMBs rely on, and have earned and kept a customer satisfaction rating of 99.99%. Because we know IT’s more than just fixing something once it breaks. It’s about working alongside our clients to tailor solutions and continually improve their technology environment. The result is strategic IT that stays reliable and secure, so you can take on what’s next.
Our Values
Proactive IT and proven expertise delivered at a cost-effective price point. Combined with monthly ICT health checks, so you see where IT stands and know where to go next.
Making IT Simple
We remove complexity from technology, helping our customers work smarter, faster and with confidence.
Security First
We build practical, customer-focused security into everything we do, protecting businesses without adding unnecessary complexity.
Supporting Growth & Giving Back
We provide exceptional support that helps our customers grow, while using our success to support charities and strengthen our communities.
At BusinessWorks our care extends beyond our clients – because we strongly believe in making a positive impact, creating opportunities, and building stronger communities. We’re a proud partner of Pancare, a charity improving outcomes for people affected by pancreatic cancer, and Igniting Change, a charity committed to sparking meaningful change for people doing it tough in our community. We’re honoured to support their missions, and to play a part in making a real difference.
