What SixPivot does

SixPivot Pty Ltd is an Australian technology consultancy headquartered in Brisbane, Queensland, founded in 2015 by Faith Rees. The company delivers bespoke software development, Azure cloud expertise, enterprise integration (including BizTalk migration to Azure Logic Apps), AI implementation, DevOps enablement, and ongoing managed services to four primary customer segments: enterprise and corporate clients (e.g., Coles, Cotton On, ANCA CNC Machines), government and public-sector agencies (e.g., Gold Coast Health), startups and venture builders (e.g., Resource Hub, Social Protect, MotoDNA, Ordo Deploy), and social-impact or not-for-profit organisations (e.g., Crime Stoppers International, James Cook University).

The firm's technology stack centres on the Microsoft ecosystem — .NET, Node.js, React, React Native, Azure cloud, Azure DevOps, Azure Logic Apps, and PaaS integration — underwritten by two on-staff Microsoft MVPs with 30+ combined years of continuous MVP recognition. SixPivot has accumulated a portfolio of proprietary and client-built products: AIly, an AI discovery platform launched November 2025 that structures AI consulting engagements with auto-generated recommendations; PivotPro Release Dashboard, a free open-source Azure DevOps marketplace extension; and client products including Social Protect (AI-powered online-abuse detection), Audrri (waste-management auditing), Cloud Ctrl (Azure cost management), the Bamboo perinatal support platform, and a clinical photography application for Gold Coast Health.

SixPivot operates a project-based consulting model supplemented by managed services contracts; all engagements are quote-based with no publicly disclosed pricing. The company is bootstrapped and founder-controlled, with no known institutional investors, and reports no external funding beyond a 2015 seed round. Distribution is exclusively direct, augmented by Microsoft partner-ecosystem referrals and an annual cadence of AFR Best Places to Work (five consecutive years through 2025) and AFR Most Innovative Technology Companies (#2 nationally in 2025) awards that function as ongoing talent-attraction and client-trust assets.

Partnerships

Five partnerships are on record, tiered flagship, core and minor.

• Crime Stoppers InternationalflagshipStrategic or Co-development Partner · 1 January 2025SixPivot provides pro bono managed services covering operational stability and security for Crime Stoppers International's global anonymous crime reporting platform, alongside funded development work extending CSI's technology capabilities. The partnership began via a Microsoft introduction and spans multiple CEO tenures and expanding global mandates. SixPivot handles all technology infrastructure supporting anonymous reporting across 30+ countries and 25+ languages.
• MicrosoftcoreTechnology or IntegrationSixPivot operates as a Microsoft partner with multiple advanced specialisations including Azure Integration, Data & AI, and Digital & App Development. The partnership includes AWS Partner Network affiliation and Microsoft AI Platform Advanced Specialisation. Microsoft has facilitated introductions to clients including Crime Stoppers International. SixPivot's Microsoft MVPs (Bill Chesnut, 22 years; David Gardiner, 10 years) provide direct access to Microsoft product teams and early insights into technology roadmaps.
• James Cook UniversitycoreStrategic or Co-development PartnerSixPivot provided pro bono development hours to rebuild the Bamboo perinatal support platform from the ground up in under three months, enabling a Queensland Mental Health Commission-funded pilot randomised control trial with 100 North Queensland mothers to proceed on schedule. The partnership was initiated through a connection at the 2025 SomethingTech conference in Brisbane.
• Gold Coast HealthcoreImplementation/ SI/ Consulting PartnerSixPivot was selected following a Microsoft-guided vendor selection process to migrate Gold Coast Health's clinical photography application to Azure within a 12-week window. SixPivot delivered a progressive web application supporting secure capture, storage, and clinical sharing of patient imagery across acute, community, and outpatient settings. Nearly 50% of clinical users self-migrated in the first week with zero disruption to patient care delivery.
• Northern Queensland Primary Health NetworkminorStrategic or Co-development PartnerPartnership connected to the Bamboo perinatal support platform rebuild for James Cook University; the NQPHN partnership with Bamboo was at risk when the platform stalled, and SixPivot's pro bono development rescued the programme enabling the pilot trial.

Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Avanade: Avanade is the largest pure-play Microsoft-focused consultancy globally (Accenture/Microsoft JV), offering Azure, AI, and application services to enterprise and government. It is the most natural scaled comparison to SixPivot's Microsoft-centric positioning, with broader geographic reach but less boutique specialisation.
• Insight Enterprises: Insight Enterprises is a global Fortune 500 technology solutions provider with deep Microsoft partnership and Australian operations, delivering cloud, AI, and managed services. Comparable as a scaled Microsoft partner with overlapping Azure services, but operates a much broader hardware/software distribution model.
• Slalom: Slalom is a global management and technology consultancy with strong Microsoft alliance and Australian presence, focused on strategy, cloud, and AI transformation. Comparable client types and Microsoft-aligned delivery model, but at significantly larger scale and broader geographic footprint than SixPivot.
• Telstra Purple: Telstra Purple (formerly Kloud) is Telstra's enterprise technology services arm, providing cloud, security, and managed services including Microsoft Azure specialisation across ANZ. Direct competitor for Australian enterprise and government Microsoft Azure consulting mandates, but with far larger scale and distribution.
• Accenture Australia: Accenture is the largest global management and technology consultancy with major Microsoft Azure practice and deep Australian enterprise/government relationships. Competes for the same Microsoft-aligned enterprise transformation work, but at vastly greater scale, breadth, and geographic reach than SixPivot.
• Datacom: Datacom is one of Australasia's largest homegrown technology services companies, providing cloud, software development, managed services, and government IT work with Microsoft partnership. Direct competitor for Australian enterprise and government digital transformation mandates, with substantially larger scale and broader service portfolio than SixPivot.

Direct peers

• Bilue: Bilue is an Australian digital consultancy specialising in mobile, cloud, and Microsoft platforms, serving enterprise clients across Australia. Closest like-for-like competitor to SixPivot in size, geography, and Microsoft/Azure focus, with comparable product-development culture.
• Arinco: Arinco is an Australian Microsoft-focused cloud and AI consultancy acquired by Crayon, serving enterprise customers with Azure, Copilot, and data services. Direct competitor for the same Microsoft partner channel and Australian enterprise customer base as SixPivot.
• Versent: Versent is an Australian-born AWS-first cloud and software engineering consultancy, recently expanding into Microsoft Azure, serving enterprise clients across ANZ. Comparable as a similarly-sized Australian engineering consultancy that grew from services into productised offerings (e.g., Stratusphere), though primary cloud alignment differs from SixPivot's Microsoft focus.

Regional players

• Modis (Akkodis Australia): Modis/Akkodis is a global IT staffing and digital engineering services provider with significant Australian operations, competing for Microsoft and Azure implementation work. Comparable as a competing services vendor for enterprise Microsoft stack projects, though structured around staffing-led delivery rather than productised consulting.
