About Evolve Technologies

Your IT team since 1993.

We started in 1993 with a simple idea: businesses deserve IT support from people they can trust, talk to, and rely on. That hasn't changed.

Our own, on-shore, local team. No offshoring. No outsourcing. Every engineer based on the Gold Coast or in Toowoomba.
01 · Origins

Built on the Gold Coast. Still here.

We started in 1993 as F&J Professional Computer Services, founded by Brian Ford and Frank Jenkins on the Gold Coast.

Jay McDonald joined as partner in 2008, and the business rebranded as Evolve Technologies in 2016. Thirty-plus years on, the tools and team have changed. The purpose hasn't. We've supported legal firms, medical practices, builders, accounting practices, and strata managers from our Southport office.

02 · Philosophy

We humanise the relationship between business and technology.

Most IT providers sell you a product and disappear. We do the opposite.

Our job is to bridge the gap between your people and their tech - make it personal, understandable, and easier. You call a real person. They know your name, your systems, your business. That's what "humanising technology" means.

03 · The industries

We know how your industry works.

Legal compliance requirements. Medical practice management systems. Construction site connectivity. Accounting practice management. Strata management platforms.

We've supported them all, and we understand the technology challenges each one faces.

Our values

What drives us.

01
Excellence

Good enough isn't. Precision, time management, and transparency in everything we deliver. If we wouldn't run our own business on it, we won't recommend it for yours.

02
Drive

Technology doesn't stand still and neither do we. We stay current, stay curious, and bring that energy to every client, five-person office or multi-site operation.

03
Accountability

When we say we'll fix it, we fix it. When something goes wrong, we own it. Honest reporting, no finger-pointing. Trust gets built one commitment at a time.

04
Respect

Your time, your budget, and your staff's frustration with a printer that won't connect all matter equally. Every request gets the same care, regardless of size.

What clients say

Gold Coast businesses, years of trust.

We partnered with Evolve in 1998 and since then they have been solely responsible for the supply, maintenance and upgrading of all of our technology. Evolve excels and continuously exceeds my expectations, particularly in customer service and response times.

Evolve has been supporting our IT needs since 2012. Their managed services model gives us continuity of service and the fixed monthly fee ensures there are no budgeting surprises. We would have no hesitation in recommending their services.

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.

Director · Three Balls Red
Client since 2015
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.
