DigiRen

What DigiRen does

DigiRen (legally Digital Renewal Pty Ltd, ACN 634670027) is a 100% Australian-owned boutique technology advisory consultancy founded in 2019 and headquartered in Sydney, with additional offices in Canberra, Melbourne, and Perth. The firm does not build or implement technology; instead it architects the organizational capability required for enterprises to adopt cloud, data, and AI investments at scale. Its core offering spans three domain advisory practices — AI Advisory, Data Advisory, and ERP Advisory — each anchored by a proprietary framework: the AI Capability Blueprint, the Data Constellation (nine disciplines) and Data Capability Framework (five pillars, twenty-one capabilities), and the Five Disciplines ERP approach. These are complemented by five cross-cutting service lines: Strategy, Program Leadership & Assurance, Operating Models, Governance & Management, and Commercial & Sourcing.

The company operates across four named verticals — Banking & Financial Services, Energy & Resources, Government, and Tertiary Education — with named client engagements at ANZ, Commonwealth Bank, NAB, AMP, IAG, BHP, INPEX, the Department of Employment and Workplace Relations, UNSW, and Kmart, among others. It is vendor-agnostic across Microsoft Azure, AWS, Google Cloud, Snowflake, and Databricks, positioning its independence from hyperscalers and system integrators as a core differentiator. Disclosed client outcomes include a 200%+ increase in cloud migration velocity for a Big 4 Bank, 25% YoY reduction in per-app migration cost, 95% cloud tagging compliance (from a 14% baseline), 22% per annum cloud cost savings, 20x faster deployments at a university client, and an AI Governance framework aligned to ISO 42001 for a Pension & Market Services provider serving 12.5M+ customers.

DigiRen's revenue model is pure professional services: bespoke consulting engagements with pricing negotiated on scope, team composition, and duration, delivered by senior consultants embedded in client teams. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales targeting CIO, CTO, and CDO buyers, supported by thought leadership content (whitepapers, eBooks, video explainers, case studies), a LinkedIn presence, industry conference speaking, and a careers page. The firm is privately held by its founders and management team — Executive Chairman Paul O'Rourke, CEO Mark Ollerenshaw, CTO George Watts, CFO Tristan O'Connell, and CPO Chris Hall — with no disclosed external venture or private equity investment.

Core offering

DigiRen is a boutique technology advisory consultancy that helps large enterprises and government organisations architect the organisational capability required to adopt cloud, data, and AI technologies. Rather than building or implementing technology themselves, they provide independent advisory services — including strategy, program leadership, operating model design, governance frameworks, AI governance, FinOps, and sourcing — by embedding senior consultants into client teams. Their engagements are structured around proprietary frameworks such as the AI Capability Blueprint, Data Constellation, Adoption Equation, and Five Disciplines ERP approach.

Product overview

DigiRen is a 100% Australian-owned specialist technology consultancy that offers advisory and professional services rather than a software product. The core portfolio consists of three technology domain advisory services — AI Advisory Services, Data Advisory Services, and ERP Advisory Services — each supported by proprietary frameworks and methodologies. The AI offering is anchored by the DigiRen AI Blueprint for enterprise AI governance and adoption. The Data offering is built on the DigiRen Data Constellation (nine disciplines) and Data Capability Framework (five pillars, twenty-one capabilities). The ERP offering provides independent governance and delivery control using a Five Disciplines approach. These domain services are complemented by five cross-cutting service lines: Strategy, Program Leadership & Assurance, Operating Models, Governance & Management, and Commercial & Sourcing. The company operates across four industry sectors: Banking, Tertiary Education, Government, and Energy.
