Keeping critical information accessible

A local alternative to Amazon or Microsoft, ATech works with corporate, government and tech organisations to deliver mission critical web systems and digital solutions. Unlike their competitors, ATech is fully Queensland-owned and operated while 79% of their workforce and 70% of their supply-chain are Queensland-based.

“Our commitment to buying and employing locally demonstrates to the wider market that it is possible to deliver world-leading services with a local Queensland-based supply chain and workforce, showcasing Queensland on the global stage,” said Sarah-Jane Peterschlingmann, ATech’s Managing Director.

“ATech’s focus on mission critical websites has undoubtedly resulted in a direct financial benefit for Brisbane City Council as a customer of ATech, as well as an indirect financial benefit for Brisbane residents who are serviced by our customers such as Brisbane City Council, Seqwater and Virgin Australia.”

When South East Queensland experienced devastating flooding in February 2022, two of ATech’s major clients’ websites - Seqwater and Brisbane City Council - were inundated with significant traffic over a very short time. ATech kept both websites online and available for Queenslanders to access crucial information about dam levels, flood warnings, forecasts, traffic alerts and access to support.

ATech has supported a wide range of local Queensland industry organisations through volunteering, mentoring, sponsorship, and donation to the benefit of Queensland’s economy. This has included activities such as positions on Board Executive Committees, speaking and running numerous events for entrepreneurs and technology innovators.

Ms Peterschlingmann said, “Going forward, our strategy includes a strong focus on industry engagement and support, increasing our contribution to the local Queensland technology industry, delivering increased employment opportunities for Queenslanders, and driving diversity for the technology and innovation industry in Queensland.”

“We believe that almost all Australians have engaged with at least one organisation or website that relies on ATech—whether that is through the food they eat, the water they drink, their community safety, or their choice of transport.”
