Celebrating 20 Years of Growth and Transformation at Seisma

November 11, 2024

This year marks a significant milestone in our journey—Seisma is celebrating its 20th birthday! Over the past two decades, we have grown into a leading IT service provider in Australia and New Zealand, committed to delivering exceptional solutions and services that meet the evolving needs of our clients.

A Journey of Growth and Transformation

Seisma was founded with a vision to transform the IT landscape in our region. Our commitment to being Australian and New Zealand owned means that we prioritise local expertise and understanding of our unique market challenges. Since our early days, we have focused on creating local employment opportunities, thereby contributing to the tech competency in our communities.

As we celebrate this milestone, it’s essential to reflect on how far we’ve come. From expanding our service offerings to adopting innovative technologies, our team has been at the forefront of the IT revolution. We have navigated industry changes, embraced new challenges, and continuously adapted to ensure we provide the highest level of service to our clients.

Strategic Acquisitions: Enhancing Our Offerings

In recent years, strategic acquisitions have played a crucial role in broadening our services and strengthening our market presence. The acquisition of Online One prior to its resale was a pivotal moment for our companies Modernisation practice, enabling us to become the top NetSuite reseller in New Zealand for several years. This partnership not only enhanced our capabilities in cloud-based enterprise resource planning but also reinforced our commitment to delivering tailored solutions that meet the evolving needs of our clients.

In 2020, Liverpool Partners invested in Seisma, marking another significant milestone in our journey. This investment provided us with the resources to expand our capabilities and accelerate growth, enabling us to enhance our service offerings and better meet our clients' unique challenges.

Following this, Seisma continued to diversify through acquisitions, including coIB, Smartapps, Braestone, Fronde, and Data Addiction, enhancing our services and expertise across several key areas. coIB added Cloud, Infrastructure and Workplace Modernisation to our capabilities, as well as expanding our presence into NSW. The addition of Smartapps strengthened our Salesforce capabilities, while Braestone expanded our presence in Western Australia, enhancing our Strategy & Architecture practice. The acquisition of Fronde further bolstered our modernisation services, particularly in New Zealand, allowing us to offer a comprehensive suite of solutions, including expertise in AWS and Google technologies. Data Addiction contributed specialised knowledge in Microsoft technologies, including data analytics and artificial intelligence, enabling us to deliver advanced solutions that harness the power of data and AI.

More recently, the acquisition of Q1 Group in March 2024 added a critical cybersecurity dimension to our capabilities. This acquisition allows us to innovate securely in line with  regulatory environments, providing our clients with the confidence that their data and systems are protected.

These strategic acquisitions have enriched our service offerings and strengthened our team with new talent and expertise. They represent our proactive approach to growth, allowing us to stay ahead of industry trends and continuously improve our ability to deliver high-quality, innovative solutions. As we continue to evolve, these partnerships will remain integral to our success and commitment to meeting the needs of our clients and the industries we serve.
