As we monitor and learn more about the spread of Coronavirus in our communities, we want to be transparent about what we’re doing as a company to protect our customers and employees.

Idea 11 has a well-documented and tested Business Continuity Plan and Pandemic Preparedness Plan to ensure minimal impact on our customers during the pandemic.

Our operations, workforce and support teams are all located in Australia and our employees are fully prepared to continue supporting our customers while working remotely and we have the required capability to execute contingency arrangements if needed.

In response to COVID-19, we have initiated additional measures to reduce the risk of disruption to the services we provide our customers. To date these include:

  • We have encouraged our employees to start working from home while making sure that they have everything they need to continue supporting our valuable customers.
  • To minimise likelihood of catching or spreading infection, we have encouraged our employees to follow the 14-day quarantine rules advised by the Department of Health regarding recent travel or exposure to overseas travellers or exposure to a known case of Coronavirus.
  • We have extensively reduced face-to-face and offsite client meetings, and we’re encouraging our employees to use video conferencing instead.

At this stage, Idea 11 is seeing minimal impacts on business, with no impact on our service delivery capabilities. Should COVID-19 escalate in Australia, we would like to assure our customers and our employees that Idea 11 is prepared to approach the situation with best practice tools and resources.

In the meantime, we encourage both our employees and our customers to follow the advice of the Department of Health on how to protect yourself and respond to the outbreak.

We’re one of the fastest in Australia, once again!

2019 has been an exciting year for us, a year packed with achievements, growth and a lot of happy customers.

We are thrilled to be ending 2019 with a bang by winning not one, but two prestigious industry awards - Deloitte Fast 50 and CRN Fast 50.

Now in its 19th year, the Deloitte Technology Fast 50 Australia ranks the 50 fastest growing technology companies across Australia, based on percentage revenue growth over the last 3 years.

The growth Idea 11 has experienced to date is outstanding and we are delighted to be recognised once again as one of the fastest growing companies in Australia.

It is a significant achievement to make the list at a time when the competition is particularly strong, and it points to significant opportunities ahead for all involved.”

Josh Tanchel, Deloitte Private Partner and Technology Fast 50 Leader

For the first time in Deloitte Technology Fast 50 Australia’s history, a new award category has been created – The Tech Fast Female. This new category recognises the female leaders who are either founders or co-founders of the companies who made it to this prestigious list. Our co-founder and CFO, Bianca Kahn, deservingly won a place in this category.

I’m so excited about this newly created Tech Fast Female category and the recognition it brings to our female leaders in the Australian business landscape. I’m also thrilled to see that this year we had three businesses with female founders/co-founders or CEOs in our top 10, and a 44% increase in female representation overall, which is outstanding.”

Deloitte Private Partner and Technology Fast 50 Leader, Josh Tanchel said today.

The CRN Fast50, now in its 11th year, recognises the fastest growing companies in the Australian IT channel, based on year-on-year revenue growth.

We are excited to have made this list yet again while competing against a big mix of companies from across Australia, with skills in managed services, consulting, software development, networking, security, integration, infrastructure, data centre services, telecommunications and more.

CRN also created three new awards for 2019. One is the Marathon Runners award, which celebrates companies that have made the Fast50 three years in a row. This being our fourth time, we were honoured with the Marathon award as well.

The 2019 CRN Fast50 put up astounding numbers; they grew at least 15 times faster than Australia’s economy.”

We are delighted to have been recognised for the work that we passionately do every single day and we thank our customers for believing in us. The Idea 11 team has always been ambitious, determined and customer-obsessed and we will continue to be laser-focussed at digitally transforming Australia.
