Founded by industry experts, DigiRen focuses on helping large commercial and public sector organisations build and scale new capabilities and ways of working to realise the benefits of new and emerging technologies leveraging the power of public cloud.
With decades of combined experience, we know that for large-scale organisations to fully leverage new technologies, they need to adapt their enterprise IT operating model and build new internal capabilities—embedding the use of the new technology, tools, and processes, and scaling new ways of working across the business.

We anchor our engagements on the orchestration of change and the delivery of strategic customer outcomes. As trusted advisors, we help our customers build new organisational capabilities, become self-sufficient, and take control of their journey.
DigiRen operates a flat, highly collaborative, and supportive working environment. Our focus on people drives our company culture. We are an inclusive team that nurtures our people for the long term. We value diversity of experience and anyone who can drive outcomes that deliver value to our customers; DigiRen is a community that enables great work and accelerated learning.
