Origins

The business began as F&J Professional Computer Services.

Brian Ford and Frank Jenkins founded it on the Gold Coast in 1993.

Jay McDonald joined as a partner in 2008, and the business took the Evolve Technologies name in 2016. The Southport office has supported legal firms, medical practices, builders, accounting practices and strata managers throughout.

Philosophy

We plan your IT as well as fix it.

Each client has a strategic review with their leadership team, and a roadmap that is updated at it.

The helpdesk handles the day to day. The review covers budget, renewals, security and the projects for the year ahead. Technology solutions, powered by human partnership.

The industries

Most of our clients are in six industries.

Legal, medical, construction, accounting, strata and automotive, with the practice software each one runs on.

We have supported each of them for years, including the practice management systems and compliance rules particular to each.

Our values

Our four values.

Excellence

Precision in the work, keeping to the time we quoted, and transparency in what we report. We only recommend what we would run on our own systems.

Drive

We keep training and certifying as the platforms change, and we put the same effort into a five-person office as a multi-site operation.

Accountability

When we say we will fix something, we fix it, and when something goes wrong we report it to you straight, with what happened and what changed.

Respect

Your time and budget are ours to respect, and a small request gets the same attention as a large one.

What clients say

Clients who have stayed for decades.

Several of these clients have been with us for more than twenty years.

Rhythm has trusted their IT support to the team at Evolve since 2008. Throughout this time we have undergone huge structural changes as a business and no challenge has been too much for the team. I would highly recommend their support to anyone needing outsourced IT support.

Evolve focuses on preventing problems before they occur. Having an Evolve Managed IT Service plan means we are able to keep our eyes on our business, not our IT. With our managed services plan, you always know what your IT budget is, no hidden fees whatsoever.

Evolve's managed service option has been the perfect solution to managing all our IT requirements. They are responsive, helpful both remotely and onsite when needed, and have assisted us to implement appropriate measures in response to emerging cybersecurity issues within our industry. I would recommend Evolve to any business.
