Complex change, delivered with certainty
We build, observe, secure and innovate the systems Australian ASX-listed, enterprise and government clients rely on.
WHAT WE DO
Services across the whole lifecycle
We offer end-to-end services across the technology lifecycle. From strategy and build through to security, operation, and ongoing optimisation — so you're never left stitching together point solutions from multiple vendors. Our sector and technical experts embed their knowledge into your teams, so they can run things independently. Some of our largest clients choose to keep us on to run their environments long-term, and we’re equally happy to do that too.

INNOVATE IT
Data and AI
Applied AI, data platforms, and machine learning built to earn trust before they earn scale.

Answers for organisations just like yours
We help organisations deliver complex IT change with certainty. Our work spans software development, quality engineering and DevOps; cyber security and observability; Data and AI; and managed services.
It means you can trust Avocado to deliver what you need, even when the work is complex. Delivering with certainty isn’t about promising nothing will ever go wrong. It’s about knowing your team has the expertise, experience and judgement to anticipate risks, handle issues as they come up and keep delivery on track. You get experienced consultants who have solved similar problems before, clear visibility of progress and decisions, and proven approaches across observability, cyber and operational resilience, quality engineering, DevOps, data & AI, and managed services. That’s what more than two decades of delivery across Australia gives you.
Software development and integration, quality engineering and test automation (including AI-powered testing), DevOps and CI/CD, cyber security, observability, Data and AI platforms, managed monitoring services, and change management, project delivery.
Yes. Avocado is tool agnostic, so we start with the tools you already have rather than forcing a rebuild. We work across common CI/CD, container and testing stacks, and we’re partners with Splunk, Dynatrace, Red Hat, CyberArk (a Palo Alto Networks company), AWS and Azure. If your tool landscape has grown over time, we can also review it with you to find overlap and gaps, and help you consolidate where it reduces cost and complexity.
We combine test strategy, execution and automation, increasingly with AI-assisted testing, to shorten cycles and catch defects earlier while keeping coverage clear and auditable.
Yes. Our security work spans strategy, risk optimisation, resilience uplift, threat assessments, penetration testing and identity security.
Most engagements begin with a short assessment, such as a Quality Engineering Maturity Assessment or a Gap Assessment, to set a baseline and a clear set of next steps.
