Our Heritage.
At Geeks On Tap, our heritage isn’t defined by dusty archives, but by a decade-plus of leading the charge into the digital frontier. Since our founding, we have been more than just an IT company; we have been the bridge between complex global technology and the real-world needs of Australian businesses.
The Journey: From Local Roots to Global Reach
Founded in 2009 by Stephen and Anne Leonard, Geeks On Tap began with a clear mission: to simplify IT and help businesses move forward with confidence.
While many IT providers were still tethered to physical servers and traditional setups, we saw the horizon.
We were among the first Google Cloud partners in Australia, pioneering the transition to Google Apps (now Google Workspace) before "the cloud" was a standard business term.
Over the last 15 years, that vision has expanded far beyond our original borders. What started as a focused local operation has grown into a specialised consulting team that now supports over 24,000 cloud users across 19 countries, with a physical presence spanning Australia, New Zealand, and Malaysia.
Our Stories: “Famous at Google for Doing Hard Things”
Our reputation wasn’t built on the easy wins; it was forged in the “hard things.” We have earned a seat at the table with global tech giants because we thrive on solving the migration and infrastructure challenges that others shy away from.
The Transition Pioneers:
We’ve guided over 100 major businesses through the seismic shift from legacy systems to the cloud, ensuring that productivity never skipped a beat.
The Trusted Educators:
We don’t just “fix” things. Our story is one of education. We’ve always believed that technology is only as good as the people using it, which is why we’ve dedicated ourselves to being the “helpful educators” who make tech feel like a friend, not a burden.
The Crisis Solvers:
From protecting confidential data in the finance sector to securing law firms against ransomware, we’ve spent 13+ years adapting to cyber threats before our clients even see them coming.
The Values That Drive Us
Our heritage is anchored in a simple, non-negotiable set of principles that guide every consultation and every support ticket.
Outcome Before Income:
This is our core belief. We are a solution-first business. We adopt a consulting culture over a selling culture—if a solution doesn’t genuinely improve your operation or fit your budget, we won't recommend it.
Making Technology Your Friend:
We believe technology is too hard for most businesses. Our job is to take you on a pleasant journey to a better place with your tech, removing the friction and the jargon.
Local Experts, Global Experience:
We bring the standards of global technology leaders like Google and Sophos to the local Australian business space, combining high-level expertise with accessible, honest advice.
Looking Ahead
Today, from our headquarters in Erina, NSW, we continue to grow through one thing: client trust. We are proud of our history as cloud pioneers, but we remain relentlessly focused on the future—helping modern teams build secure, future-ready environments that scale.
