Expert IT Consulting Melbourne
For Growing Businesses

Making the right technology decisions is critical as your business grows, but not every organisation needs a full-time IT manager or another vendor selling solutions.

Our IT consulting services in Melbourne provide clear, independent advice to help small and mid-sized businesses plan, optimise, and invest in technology with confidence.

Whether you need strategic direction, a second opinion, or help choosing the right systems, 1300 INTECH delivers practical IT consulting focused on business outcomes.

Hiring a full-time IT manager in Melbourne costs $141,750-$178,500 annually plus benefits and recruitment costs. Without dedicated IT leadership, businesses make uninformed technology decisions costing an average of $45,000 (30% of their IT budget)  annually in inefficiencies and poor vendor choices.

With 1300 INTECH:

Our IT consulting services for small businesses in Melbourne provides strategic IT leadership at 60-70% less cost than hiring internally.

You gain access to senior-level consultants with diverse expertise across security, cloud, networking, and business systems. We help you to plan, prioritise technology spend, and make confident decisions that support your business goals.

Recent surveys from the SMB Group and Deloitte consistently show that roughly 60% to 70% of SMBs operate without a clear technology roadmap, resulting in inefficiencies and tools that no longer fit the way the business operates.


With 1300 INTECH:

We help you develop practical IT strategies and roadmaps aligned to your objectives, budget, and growth plans.

Every recommendation is focused on measurable business value,   not technology for technology’s sake.

43% of cyberattacks target small businesses, with the average breach costing $2.98 million in 2024. Additionally, non-compliance with Australian Privacy Act and industry regulations can result in fines up to $50 million and severe reputational damage.

With 1300 INTECH:

Our comprehensive Security & Compliance Audit service evaluates your entire IT environment against industry standards and regulatory requirements. We provide a detailed risk assessment, gap analysis, and prioritized remediation roadmap.

Over 85% of vulnerabilities identified in our audits can be resolved within 60 days, significantly reducing your risk exposure. 

IT providers sometimes recommend unnecessary upgrades or oversized solutions that benefit their margins rather than your business. Small businesses overspend an estimated $43,500 annually on technology they don't need when they lack independent validation.

With 1300 INTECH:

As an independent, vendor-agnostic IT consulting firm in Melbourne, we will help you with clear, unbiased advice.

We review proposals, validate recommendations, and help you make decisions that are right for your business — and definitely not driven by sales targets. We review quotes, validate technical specifications, assess whether solutions match your actual needs, and identify potential cost savings. 

There are over 150,000 business software solutions available, and choosing the wrong one costs an average of $25,000-$75,000 (2–3x the annual licensing cost) in implementation, switching costs, and lost productivity.

70% of software implementations fail to meet business objectives due to poor selection processes.

With 1300 INTECH:

We can guide you through a structured software selection process — from defining requirements to evaluating vendors and planning implementation.

The result is software that fits your workflows, your people, and your budget.

Let’s be real — why do you need an IT consultant?

Running a small business means wearing a lot of hats and maybe IT has been one of them. But, now IT is getting far more complicated, and it's dangerous to rely on unprofessional support. Without expert guidance, you risk:

  • Costly downtime from unreliable systems or poor configurations
  • Cyber threats and data breaches that could cripple your business overnight
  • Wasted spending on the wrong tools, licences, or IT providers that don’t deliver
  • Stalled growth when your systems can’t scale as fast as your business

They look after our company from start to finish, from setting up of our technology, monitoring and maintenance, problem resolution, and advice.

Emily D.

It has been great working with 1300 INTECH.

Emmanuel and the team have shown expertise in installing equipment and seamlessly integrating our systems into a new website and email platform.

Their team's prompt and helpful support has been greatly appreciated, not only delivering on time but also ensuring a smooth transition.

We highly recommend 1300 INTECH to anyone seeking reliable IT services.

Emily H.

Manager | Orana Neighbourhood House

1300 INTECH are my all round go to for all my IT requirements.

They have always supplied me with different options and prices for all hardware required and prices always prove to be at a competitive rate.

Most importantly, to me, is that their service and assistance with any technical issues is exceptional. The IT team are always quick to respond to my calls for assistance and their professional knowledge of the IT world is outstanding.

I have been dealing with 1300 INTECH for over 10 years for both my personal and business IT requirements and have never had any issues.

Great work, 1300 INTECH.

Trish H.

Business Manager | Eastern Underground

Over the years we have worked with many of their specialists, and they all have been so friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful, they always find a solution to every issue we have had.

I can call and within no time they are on board helping us. They have access to work online with all our computers, which enables them to fix the problems remotely. This has been a huge advantage for us as we all work in different locations.

We have also bought our laptops and computers and security systems from INTECH, we receive them promptly and they set them up, another painless transition always. WE have just had them transfer our company from using a server to the Cloud, this was done over a weekend, thus there was no interruption to our work.

Their advice and help over the years have been invaluable and we can highly recommend them.

Sharon B.

Manager | Chess Ideas

I have been working with 1300 INTECH for over 16 years as they have been the provider of IT support for our organisation, South East Volunteers (SEV). We are a non-profit organisation and as such money can be a bit on the tight side. 1300 INTECH have taken that into consideration and have provided us with first class service that we can afford.

They have supported our programs and sometimes our lack of IT understanding and have not worked for us, but with us. When I first commenced at SEV, there were only 2 email addresses and very little Internet service. 1300 INTECH provided us with advice and support to bring our organisation in line with best practice. They advised us on software, hardware and answered our many concerns with patience and, to some extent, kind humour.

We did have a time many years ago, that we were hacked and held to ransom. InTech stepped up, worked long into the wee hours of the morning to secure our systems, and updates us with extra firewalls – and more training for staff on what NOT to do.

At the commencement of lockdown, Intech jumped into action and got all 15 of our staff connected to MS Teams, laptops and gave us Zoom lessons – all within about a 48-hour time frame. There was no such thing as too many phone calls or silly questions.

1300 INTECH took SEV from an organisation with only 2 email addresses to what we are today, with the latest technology (MS Teams phones, WIFI, Remote Working Spaces, VPN) and ensures that we are cybersafe at all times.

I have worked with all of the staff at 1300 INTECH , and I must say that I have not found a lemon amongst them. They all have their “specialties”, but they work well as a team, and complement each other. They provide personal service and extremely professional work ethic, but not forgetting that we are not IT gurus and sometimes we need a bit more explanations.

I cannot recommend Emmanuel and his team at 1300 INTECH highly enough and I am extremely grateful for the service they have provided for us in the past and will continue to provide us into the future.

Shirlene S.

Manager | South East Volunteers

Before we partnered with 1300 INTECH, we had an outdated computer system that wasn’t meeting our needs. 1300 INTECH came in and redesigned our entire system, sourcing hardware and software, meeting our needs, now and into the future, exceeding our expectations all whilst coming in on budget.

They kept us informed every step of the way and have supported us since the installation, making sure we have minimum downtime and disruption in resolving any issues that arise. The technicians at 1300 INTECH always provide unmatched customer service and we would highly recommend using them.



Adele S.

Office Manager | Zerella Group

We had no idea what to do when ‘Cryptolocker’ infected one of our computers a few Friday’s ago. But a single call to our IT Support Group, 1300 INTECH, was all it took to get the ball rolling to fix our problem.

We were back up and running on Monday morning and didn’t lose a single file.

They’ve looked after our Computer Networks for over 5 years now and their service is always exemplary.

Rating: Highly recommended
