Mantel Group

What Mantel Group does

Mantel Group is an Australian-headquartered technology consultancy operating ten hubs across Australia and New Zealand with 850–900+ staff, organized around seven core practices: Data and AI, Cloud, Digital, Cyber Security, Customer Experience, Applications, and Platforms. The firm delivers enterprise-scale advisory, build, and managed services to large organizations in banking, retail, insurance, healthcare, media, and the public sector, with named clients including Commonwealth Bank, Woolworths, Wesfarmers, Coles, Bupa, Macquarie Group, REA Group, Iress, and HBF.

The company's technical platform spans hyperscaler partnerships at the premier or strategic tier with AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft, Databricks, Snowflake, OpenAI, and Anthropic, and includes proprietary IP such as the Mantel AI Readiness Framework, the AI Factory accelerator, the 2x2 cloud governance product, and the runAWS managed-service platform. Mantel is one of the first ANZ services partners for OpenAI and a strategic partner of Anthropic, and it co-invested with AWS in the Generative AI Innovation Centre and committed $2M alongside La Trobe University to a regional AI upskilling program.

Revenue is generated through time-and-materials consulting, fixed-price transformation programs, and recurring managed services anchored to enterprise contracts, with multi-year engagements providing revenue visibility. The group is privately held following a 2022 investment by Five V Capital, has expanded via acquisition (including Itty Bitty Apps in 2022) to eight operating brands, and has won AWS Consulting Partner of the Year for AU/NZ in each of the four years through 2026.

Closest direct peer: similar professional services DNA, comparable delivery model, and overlapping enterprise customer base (banks, insurers, healthcare, retail).

Broad incumbents
