About Avec
The origins of Avec began in Perth, Western Australia in 2007 where it delivered Project and Software based solutions to a range of government agencies and mining corporations. Frustrated with the costly big global players and concerned about the lack of scale of the small local providers, we believed there was a way to deliver IT projects in a better and more responsive way.
Today this holds true more than ever as we have seen the large consultancies become bigger and the independent local Consulting landscape become increasingly marginalised.
With a passionate commitment to provide flexible delivery based on trust, independence, and care Avec has something to say about this.
With this conviction, supported by a tried and tested practical delivery methodology and an abundance of simple, yet effective delivery enablers, Avec is ever more certain of its purpose.
This means delivering projects for end customers who are great in their core businesses but struggle with implementation. It means delivering projects for software vendors who are great at developing software but not so great at implementing it.
Traditional resourcing companies provide capacity. Traditional consulting companies provide you capability. We look to blend both with first rate delivery the outcome.
This is the soul of Avec. It’s delivery with people with proficiency. Most importantly, we work in partnership with our clients. We are an extension of their business. We don’t deliver a project and leave them unable to sustain it on their own. Their success is our success.
We are fresh, we are independent, and we deliver.
