Overview

Emantra is an Australian-owned specialist IT Managed Service Provider. The company was formed in 2005 by Ross Dewar and Cameron McFie, who together own and manage the business today.

From the outset, Emantra's focus has been on delivering best-of-industry solutions on the Microsoft Software as a Service model. We are not software developers, we are not system integrators, we are not a website hosting company with "services" tacked on. We are a technical service outsourcer focused on providing the highest available standards of Software as a Service delivery to the Australian market.

Emantra's business has grown to service many large corporations and government entities as well as a great bunch of mid-sized and small business customers. We are proudly a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner and our technical team consists solely of MCSE Professionals. Emantra's facilities include dual high-grade data centres in Brisbane, Australia with an all-IBM and Cisco infrastructure. We guarantee to our customers a reliability and security of performance to match our technical edge.

Emantra delivers its services either directly to our clients or in association with accredited partners. We choose partners who can complement and add value to our services so our customers can enjoy an all-in-one full-scope solution.
