What Arcology does

Arcology Pty. Ltd. is an independent Australian IT consulting firm headquartered at 14 Redwood Avenue, Marcus Beach, Queensland, that designs and delivers bespoke eCommerce and eBusiness software solutions. Founded around 2005 and led by Principal Craig Miles, the firm serves government clients (including Sunshine Coast Council, Queensland Government, NSW Parliament, the European Commission and the European Space Agency), mid-market to enterprise private-sector organisations (Eagle Boys, City Beach, Audi Australia, Telstra, Oracle, Warner Music), and industry associations (ARIA, Australian Rugby Union, Football Federation Australia). Arcology reports incorporating over 20 years of cross-jurisdiction consulting experience across the UK, Europe, and Australia.

The firm's core offerings are custom eCommerce platform development, custom eBusiness platform development (e.g., the award-winning MyCouncil platform for Sunshine Coast Council), data warehousing and business intelligence implementations (delivered in conjunction with Business Objects, including the Audi Australia engagement), industry-wide consolidated web applications (notably ARIA's music-industry product database), and multi-technology implementation services spanning Microsoft .NET, Drupal, and PHP stacks. Delivery is governed by Agile/Scrum/UML methodologies with Test Driven Development and automated testing as quality disciplines. Arcology holds no packaged software product or recurring platform IP; every engagement is a bespoke build, and the firm is differentiated by its requirements-led process discipline and ability to coordinate complex arrays of third-party products and vendors within aggressive timeframes. Credibility is anchored by two industry awards: the 2010 ORIA Best Use of Technology award (City Beach) and the 2013 Australian Government Excellence in eGovernment (Application Development) award (Sunshine Coast Council).

Commercially, Arcology operates a direct, principal-led sales motion with all enquiries routing through Craig Miles via a WordPress-hosted Contact Us page, email, and phone. Revenue is generated per project under quote-based, bespoke pricing — typically professional services engagements scoped to client requirements, with multi-year contracts possible but no disclosed recurring or retainer model. The firm has 1–10 employees, no external funding, no parent company, and a marketing footprint limited to a static brochure website with social-share integrations. Distribution is entirely direct with no channel partners, resellers, or marketplace presence.
