GO365

What GO365 does

GO365, legally GO Data Centre Pty Limited, is a Perth-based managed service provider specializing in fully managed cloud hosting built on Microsoft Azure and Office 365. Founded in 2010 (incorporated 2012) by Mark Di Ciano and Nic Rosato, the company serves small to large businesses across Western Australia with select Asia-Pacific reach, addressing pain points such as server downtime, IT infrastructure costs, in-house expertise gaps, and scalability constraints. The platform combines two Perth data centres with Microsoft Azure's public cloud to deliver subscription-based managed hosting with 24x7x365 support, business-hours on-premise assistance, and bundled security, backup, and networking services.

The core product offering comprises three primary plans — GO Office 365 (per-seat Microsoft 365 subscription with support), GO365 Remote Office (cloud-hosted Windows desktops with Office 365), and GO365 Hosted Virtual Servers (Windows/Linux) — supplemented by modular add-ons including Azure Virtual Desktop, Files, Recovery Services, Networking (VPN, virtual firewall, ExpressRoute), and end-to-end Managed Services. The company also hosts GO Business, an ERP/accounting application originally developed in-house and now delivered on Azure. Pricing follows a per-seat or per-server subscription model with monthly and annual cadences, and the firm sells exclusively through direct sales and a website-based quote request flow. Revenue is recurring in nature, with churn exposure mitigated by long customer tenures (multi-year relationships dating back to 2014).

GO365 operates within Microsoft's Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) ecosystem via distributor Rhipe, and integrates complementary technologies from SkyKick (backup), Trend Micro (security), Cisco and Fortinet (networking), and Veeam (recovery). The firm is privately held by its founders, with no external funding, no disclosed revenue, and a headcount of 1-10. Its competitive positioning rests on local Australian support, deep Azure/Office 365 specialization, and the operational leverage of Microsoft's global infrastructure, rather than proprietary technology.
