What Solentive does

Solentive Systems Pty Ltd is a privately held Australian technology consulting firm headquartered in Surry Hills, Sydney, founded in 1993 by Kareem Tawansi and operating continuously for more than 30 years. The firm delivers professional services across four pillars — Strategy & Advisory (digital strategy, discovery and design, AI assessment), Automation & AI (Microsoft Power Platform, Custom AI & Copilot Studio, InRule Business Rules Engine), Secure Modern Workplace (Microsoft 365, Dynamics 365, Copilot), and Data, Analytics & Insights (data platforms, Power BI) — supplemented by custom software development, system modernisation, systems integration, and change management services. Its core technology stack is built on the Microsoft ecosystem (Power Platform, Dynamics 365, M365, Copilot, Azure AI) plus an exclusive APAC partnership with InRule for the InRule Business Rules Engine, positioning Solentive as a vendor-independent implementation specialist rather than a single-platform reseller.

The company generates revenue primarily through professional services engagements (project-based and time-and-materials) covering consulting, implementation, and integration, supplemented by ongoing managed services for delivered solutions; no standardised public pricing or rate cards are disclosed. Go-to-market is a hybrid enterprise field sales motion and channel partner model, with direct consultation-led discovery sessions targeting enterprise and mid-market clients across Australia, augmented by NSW Government preapproved supplier status for public-sector engagement. The customer base spans hundreds of organisations across private health insurance (HCF, HBF, NIB), manufacturing (Clipsal by Schneider Electric), aviation and telecom (Qantas, Optus), government (Australian Department of Education, ABC), education (UTS), and not-for-profit and association segments (Consult Australia, Kennards Hire, Medianet). Marquee engagements include AI-driven productivity work for Meat & Livestock Australia and systems integration for OPSTAR, with documented outcomes of 3-5x productivity improvements.

Solentive is independently owned with no disclosed external institutional investors, parent company, or acquisition history. The business is small (11-50 employees), operates within Australia under ABN 56 624 155 237, and has not pursued public listing or venture funding. Strategic posture emphasises long-term client partnerships, capability building over resourcing arbitrage, and expanding an AI services line on top of the existing Microsoft and InRule delivery foundations.
