What Simient does

Simient is a provider of customized information management systems to commercial, government, and not-for-profit organizations, founded in 2004 and headquartered in Brisbane, Australia. In January 2022 Simient was acquired by Brennan via its parent company Clade Solutions, and now operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary with the Simient brand retained within Brennan's national portfolio. Existing Simient customers continue to receive support services through Brennan, accessing the group's 24/7 service desk and broader digital transformation capability set spanning advanced networking, cloud and infrastructure, cybersecurity, data and AI, Microsoft Dynamics, modern workplace, and hardware and software procurement.

The broader Brennan group, of which Simient is part, is Australia's largest sovereign-owned systems integrator and managed IT services provider, founded in 1997 in Sydney and now employing 1,000+ team members across Australia, India, and Sri Lanka. Brennan serves 1,700+ business, enterprise, and government customers using a vertical-led go-to-market concentrated in government, enterprise, transport and logistics, mining and resources, and utilities and energy. The business model combines recurring managed services (monitoring, maintenance, service desk, backup, endpoint and security controls) with project-based professional services for digital transformation and hardware/software resale, priced via custom annual enterprise agreements and delivered through direct enterprise field sales, inside sales for mid-market, and a 60+ vendor technology partner ecosystem that includes Microsoft (Gold), Cisco (Premium), Sophos (Platinum), and Fortinet.

The group has compounded revenue at a 21.5% average annual rate over 28 years, retains customers at 95%+, and scores 80+ NPS versus an industry average below 35. It holds ISO 27001 certification, AGSVA security clearances for federal work, and PSPF/Essential 8/ISM compliance expertise. Recent strategic activity includes a December 2025 strategic investment by Macquarie Capital Principal Finance, the February 2026 Securonix MSSP partnership for AI-driven SOC services, and the April 2026 full integration of acquired CBR Cyber, which expanded the SOC customer base to 50+ and added six new federal agency customers in Q1 2026.
