Our Story
Conexxia was founded in 2015 with a simple but powerful belief — that Australian businesses deserved better IT consulting. Not consultants who arrived with pre-packaged answers, but genuine problem solvers who took the time to understand each client's business, challenges, and goals before recommending a single line of technology.
That belief has guided everything we have built since. From our first engagement in Sydney to our expansion into the Netherlands and India, Conexxia has grown by doing right by our clients — delivering outcomes that are measurable, sustainable, and genuinely valuable.
Today, Conexxia operates across 4 global offices with a team spanning 28 nationalities. We have delivered 350+ enterprise projects, maintained a 95% client satisfaction rate, and grown year on year by 35% — not through aggressive sales tactics, but through the quality of our work and the relationships we build.
Our three core values guide every engagement:
-
Value — we optimise business value for every client
-
Merit — we encourage growth and recognition based on merit
-
Worth — we treat every individual with respect and dignity
These are not words on a wall. They are the standard we hold ourselves to every day.
Together, these two words signify
