What NRI ANZ does

NRI ANZ is a Sydney-headquartered IT services and digital transformation consultancy operating across Australia and New Zealand, wholly owned by Tokyo-listed Nomura Research Institute (TSE: 4307). The firm traces its origins to ASG Group, founded in 1996, which was acquired by NRI in 2016 and rebranded as NRI Australia & New Zealand in 2023. With 3,500+ staff distributed across offices in Sydney, Perth, Melbourne, Adelaide, Canberra, Brisbane, Wellington and a Manila delivery centre, NRI ANZ delivers end-to-end digital transformation programs to large enterprise and federal/state government clients, including SAP, Oracle, Salesforce, AWS, and Microsoft implementations, cloud migrations, security, data and analytics, application development, and managed services.

The company's core offering is organised into twelve capabilities under four pillars (Understand, Assure, Build, Manage) spanning Strategy & Advisory, Innovation & Emerging Technologies, Business Analysis & Change, Program Delivery, Security, Quality & Testing, Enterprise Applications, Applications Development & Integration, Data & Analytics, ICT Asset Management, Cloud, and Managed Services. Notable technical components include the proprietary Amplify GenAI quality engineering platform (acquired with Planit in 2025), the Service Management Framework (SMF) aligned to ISO 20000-1 and ITIL, and the Project Management Methodology aligned to PMI-PMBOK and PRINCE2. Six subsidiary brands extend capability depth: Planit (quality engineering, 1,700+ specialists), Velrada (Microsoft Gold Partner), M&T Resources (recruitment), Group 10 Consulting (ICT advisory), Pragma Partners (government services), and 1ICT (Apple/education). NRI ANZ holds elite partnerships with SAP, Salesforce, Oracle, AWS, and Microsoft plus 15+ secondary technology vendors, and maintains ISO 9001, 14001, 27001, and 20000-1 certifications that anchor federal and state government procurement eligibility.

NRI ANZ monetises services through a blend of fixed-price and time-and-materials professional services engagements, managed services contracts under SLA, and the ELEVATE subscription bundle offering pre-paid 100/250/500 hour post go-live support packages for SAP Cloud ERP, Oracle Fusion Cloud, and Salesforce customers. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales augmented by co-sell motions through hyperscaler partners and government procurement frameworks; the firm pursues thought leadership through Platinum Partnership at Gartner IT Symposium/Xpo 2026, an active media and insights practice, and a central website lead-generation funnel. Marquee customers include Airservices Australia ($94M renewal), Department of Education WA, Honda Australia, CleanCo, Powerlink Queensland, VenuesWest, Main Roads WA, the Australian Electoral Commission, and a leading Australian bank, suggesting a deliberate vertical mix of government, energy/utilities, education, and regulated enterprise.
