blueAPACHE

What began in 1998 as a strategic initiative by founder Chris Marshall to address a critical gap in IT standards for the SME sector has evolved into one of Australia's leading global Managed Service Providers. Recognizing that mid-sized organizations often lacked the enterprise-grade technology and support they needed to thrive, Marshall established blueAPACHE with a clear mission: to democratize access to sophisticated IT solutions. From its headquarters in Melbourne, the company has grown organically, expanding its footprint across Australia, New Zealand, Asia, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

Central to this evolution is the company's proprietary 'emPOWER' portfolio, a revolutionary reference architecture that integrates network, voice, cloud, and managed services into a seamless, scalable offering. This innovation has allowed blueAPACHE to shift the paradigm from traditional capital-heavy IT investments to a flexible 'IT as a Service' model, empowering clients to pivot and grow with agility. Today, blueAPACHE is celebrated for its technical excellence and customer-first approach, consistently recognized in industry awards like the MSP 501 and ARN Innovation Awards. With a team of over 250 professionals, the company continues to drive business transformation, ensuring that organizations of all sizes can leverage world-class technology to achieve their strategic goals.
