Latest Press Release

4 July 2023 – Sydney, Australia. Australasian business solutions company Fusion5 today announced the acquisition of Vigilant.IT, a successful managed services business and respected Microsoft partner.

Formed in 2006, Sydney-based Vigilant.IT has over 60 managed services customers and significant experience in the manufacturing, financial/insurance services, and government sectors. Their team of over 20 consultants and engineers will join Fusion5’s Enterprise Cloud & Security practice.

Tom Ward, Owner and Head of Technical Operations at Vigilant.IT says, “We chose to become part of Fusion5 as they offered a clear path forward for our customers and people. Stephane [Stephane Budo, Co-owner and Director Innovative Solutions of Vigilant.IT] and I have always fostered a strong learning environment within the company and needed more opportunities for our team to shine in their chosen field. And that meant finding ways to grow and work in the areas we’re passionate about – and providing our customers access to a wider range of innovative business solutions. Fusion5 offered us that. They feel very much like kindred spirits.”

Kris Jackson, Fusion5 General Manager – Enterprise Cloud & Security (ECS), says the acquisition of Vigilant.IT will grow Fusion5’s ECS practice across Australia and NZ to over 70 people.

“Vigilant.IT has a highly skilled and passionate team with significant infrastructure, security, networking, and Microsoft Modern Work expertise,” says Jackson. “They were the first company in Australia to achieve Microsoft’s Gold Security Competency in 2019 and have specialised skills in hybrid-cloud solutions. The new combined skillsets, and the addition of another Microsoft MVP (Most Valuable Professional) to our business, will also strengthen our managed services offerings across our Australia and New Zealand customers. And with Vigilant.IT’s dedicated service desk capabilities we can enhance our end-to-end IT support across the board.”
