Our History

Management Systems | ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management System | ISO 27001:2013 Information Security Management System

Overview

The early 2000’s was an exciting time for IT. Digital technology was transforming our lives, and with each innovation, it became clear that digital was the future. Genisys was born into this pioneering time. Created in May 2001 with one goal: deliver innovative services and solutions to enterprises with an active, ethical and compassionate approach to our partners, clients and the communities where we live and work.

Our core values of Trust, Integrity and Professionalism (TIP) are demonstrated in the work that we do each day, delivering high quality solutions and services across a diverse range of industries.

With a successful history spanning almost 2 decades, Genisys has become a trusted partner in the mid-size, enterprise markets and public sector, with clientele traversing multiple industries.

At Genisys, we understand that success is all about sustaining long-term relationships. We understand that every business is different. We listen to you and pride ourselves on our ability to tailor our approach to suit your business. The methodologies we use are broad, ranging from those that are well-known and trusted, to our clients’ own proven methodologies.

Our professional yet adaptable approach allows our staff to integrate into your business and we work in partnership with you right from the onset. We offer business and technology consulting services covering the entire lifecycle of a program.

We shape your vision into an executable plan, manage your development, and work intimately with your team to ensure that you achieve your outcomes. Our experience and expertise will be there to support you and your business from concept to delivery.

Humble Beginnings

Genisys was founded in 2001 as one of the first true Managed Service Providers providing unlimited support to small businesses. We grew steadily, primarily through word of mouth, to support about 40 businesses and 1000 end users across Sydney. Our early success was due to our value-driven and results-oriented approach; we went above and beyond to get the job done, we delivered on the promises we made and we were smart about the technology we recommended to save our customers money.

Our Break

In 2004, Genisys gained our first of many “Enterprise” customers – delivering professional services and support to the 600 staff of a multinational aviation solutions provider with offices located across Australia (nationwide), New Zealand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Hong Kong, China and United Arab Emirates. This customer was growing tired of the inflexibility and lack of responsiveness of the traditional large IT outsourcers and was referred to Genisys by a mutual client. They took a risk by going with a small provider and we repaid it by delivering a huge increase in end user satisfaction, successful delivery of projects and delivering at a significantly lower price point.

Maturity

We’d proven that we could deliver better service and pricing than some of the largest and better-known IT companies in Australia. This event was the catalyst for us to overhaul Genisys from the ground up.

Every system and every process were refined and tested against our new philosophy of bringing enterprise quality with small business agility. We committed to mature as an organisation and achieved the following soon after –

We implemented Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL) methodologies
We became an Internet Service Provider (ISP), bringing Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) networking in-house to guarantee quality
We recruited experienced support and management staff
We upgraded our ticketing system to support our processes and add flexibility
We allocated full time staff to ongoing process improvement roles

Innovation

In 2006, Genisys started to see an increasing trend in the market where organisations were opting to extend hardware maintenance agreements for Information Communication Technology (ICT) infrastructure in favour of upgrading as part of their normal refresh cycles.

With our passion for innovation and commitment to deliver value to our customers, Genisys decided to find a way to address this growing trend. We embarked on an idea to build out a secure and scalable hosted infrastructure platform that was managed by experts, with the goal of providing customers the ability to consume resources and applications “as a Service” in the form of an operational expense. This ensured that our clients could still have access to the latest technologies without having to commit to expensive capital expenditures and human resources to manage them.

As it turns out, we were one of the first ICT companies to launch an Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) cloud computing product in Australia, branded “Terra”, which is a true testament to our vision of being innovators.

Genisys has partnered with Equinix to ensure the “Terra” platform is securely hosted in top tier data centres that maintain compliance with international and regional standards including ISO 27001, PCI DSS and SOC1-Type II and have an industry-leading track record of uptime greater than 99.99999%.

Quality

Fast forward to 2016 and Genisys is now a growing team of highly skilled individuals located across 3 offices in Sydney and Melbourne, supporting a growing list of diverse customers in the public and private sectors.

With our unwavering desire for continual self-improvement, we decided to up the ante and prove to ourselves and demonstrate to our customers that our commitment to uphold the highest standards was important to us. We embarked on a journey to attain dual certification in ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management System and ISO/IEC 27001:2013 Information Security Management.

With the entire Genisys team up for the challenge, we set ourselves an aggressive target of 10 months to achieve our goal.

In 8 months we achieved the following:

September 2016 – The process of constructing our management systems begins
December 2016 – Genisys attains certification in ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management System
April 2017 – Genisys attains certification in ISO/IEC 27001:2013 Information Security Management

ISO certification is more than a compliance exercise. The ISO/IEC 27001:2013 Information Security Management System provides a systematic approach to managing sensitive company information so that it remains secure. The standard defines how organisations should manage and treat information securely, including applicable security controls.

It also encompasses people, processes and IT systems by applying a robust risk management process. Companies that comply with ISO 27001 have demonstrated that they manage risks and use processes that allow new risks to be detected and be proactive before issues can be caused.

Genisys harbours a culture of security awareness within our policies, procedures and controls, allowing us to maximise the efficiency and quality of our services and ensure the information of our clients remains safe and secure. All employees are fully engaged in the system and are made aware of their responsibilities through company inductions and ongoing awareness training.
