Orlo One

What Orlo One does

Orlo One is a South Australian managed IT services provider operating as a trading name of Hood Sweeney Technology Pty Ltd, headquartered at 167 Fullarton Rd, Dulwich. Founded as a brand in 2024 but drawing on more than 20 years of prior technology services experience, the company delivers seven interconnected service lines to small and medium-sized businesses across Adelaide and regional South Australia: IT Strategic Advisory, Cybersecurity, Cloud Solutions, Infrastructure, AI & Automation, Support, and Data Governance & Information Management. The technical stack is anchored on Microsoft 365, SharePoint and M-Files, supported by partner vendor relationships with Trend Micro, Veeam, WatchGuard, Dell, 3CX and Exclaimer, and the company holds Microsoft Solutions Partner status.

The business model combines recurring Managed Service Agreements (subscription-based proactive monitoring, support and management) with project-based engagements for cloud migration, security implementations and infrastructure upgrades. Go-to-market is sales-led and consultative, delivered through Technical Relationship Managers rather than traditional salespeople, giving SMB clients direct access to senior technical specialists. Customers span wineries, healthcare practices, local government, agriculture, recruitment and professional services in South Australia, with eight named SMB logos disclosed. Senior leadership comprises Adrian Crossing (Director & Cyber Security Specialist), Jock Duncan (Chief Operating Officer) and Manning Bailey (Associate & Technical Relationship Manager). Pricing is custom and not publicly disclosed, and no external funding, revenue figures or enterprise-scale contracts are reported.
