Synechron continues Australian expansion with new office in Melbourne

Global digital transformation consultancy Synechron has continued its expansion in Australia with a new office launch in Melbourne – eighteen months on from the firm’s official arrival in Sydney.

Founded in the US in 2001 with a focus on tech solutions for the financial services sector, Synechron has since rapidly spread around the world, now boasting almost 15,000 professionals stationed across more than 40 countries worldwide.

Australia, however, has been one of the firm’s more recent frontiers, only officially launching in the country at the start last year via an office in Sydney, albeit with an earlier on-the-ground presence courtesy of its 2020 acquisition of payments consultancy Attra.

Still, the consultancy appears to be all in, picking up Adelaide-based sister consultancies Chamonix IT and Exposé in a double strike in the middle of last year (in a deal advised on by Technology Holdings), and now adding a Melbourne office to its Australian footprint just eighteen months on from its full-blooded launch downunder.

Again, Synechron’s new office, located at Melbourne Quarter Tower in the Docklands opposite the likes of Capgemini, Infosys, and management consultancy Nous Group, won’t start life unpopulated and devoid of buzz, as the firm also last year acquired local cloud and data specialist iGreenData, which at the time had a headcount of around 200 professionals in Australia and India.

“Our new Melbourne office marks an important step for Synechron in Australia, and brings our Australia-based teams together into one space,” said co-founder and CEO Faisal Husain. “This space gives us the best environment to deliver high-impact solutions and to drive long-term success, reflecting our commitment to both our people and our clients.”

Synechron said the modern new office will include a FinLab, one in a worldwide network of innovation spaces designed to allow easy collaboration with clients on the co-creation of cutting-edge solutions, while staff will benefit from access to high-end facilities such as a business lounge and wellness hubs, along with extensive public transport links via bus, train, tram and ferry.

“Our new office in Melbourne allows us to work more efficiently and creatively while strengthening collaboration, and it will enable us to tap into the large talent pool in the area.” said Peter Cambden, Synechron’s managing director for the A/NZ and Asia Pacific regions. “We're excited about the possibilities this move brings for both our employees and our clients.”
