Net Communications

What Net Communications does

Net Communications Pty Ltd is an Australian IT solutions provider founded approximately 1988 and headquartered in Rosebery, NSW. The company operates a horizontal, segment-agnostic model selling IT hardware and software procurement, managed services, cloud, security, hyperconverged infrastructure, virtualization, and backup solutions to small-to-medium businesses, enterprises, government entities, education institutions, and branch offices across Australia.

Its core technology stack is built around a broad reseller and professional-services portfolio rather than a single proprietary platform. Hardware and software resale covers Lenovo, Dell, HP, HPE, IBM, VMware, and Apple solutions under Gold and Silver vendor partner tiers. The principal proprietary asset is ShareIT, a weekly subscription managed-services offering protected by Australian Innovation Patent No. 2004100533, which delivers dedicated IT engineering, monitoring, and security administration at a flat weekly rate targeting SMBs and branch offices. Supporting products include hosted private cloud and VPS on Australian data centres, Office 365 migration and management, multi-OS virtualization (Hyper-V and VMware), endpoint and network security (Cisco Meraki, Dell SonicWALL, Sophos, ESET, Symantec, Trend Micro, McAfee), and managed print services via Lexmark.

Revenue is generated across four streams: hardware and software resale (margin-based), managed services including the ShareIT subscription (recurring), cloud services (subscription), and project-based professional services (consulting, implementation, migration, network design). Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with quotations typically turned around in 4-6 hours. Distribution is sales-led and direct (phone, email, web enquiry), and panel-approved status with Procurement Australia (since 2016) and the Australian Government Cloud Services Panel (since 2017) enables direct government-sector procurement. The company is family-owned, private, and operates with an 11-50 person team.
