What Makes IBRS Different

IBRS is Australia’s leading local ICT advisory company. For the past two decades, our goal has been consistent: to help Australia’s CIOs and their teams make the best possible decisions. We mitigate yours risks and validate your strategic decisions by providing independent and pragmatic advice while taking the time to understand your specific business issues.

Formed in 2002, IBRS has a broad client base across all industries. Through our advisory, assurance and consulting practices, clients engage with IBRS advisors and are able to deal with the issues that are critical for them. We conduct inquiries covering more than a 1,000 topics a year, review hundreds of projects and case studies, and are briefed by all of the major vendors. Most importantly, we track local vendors and channel partners. We know what’s going on locally and bring that local knowledge to your local issues.

All our advisors have been senior ICT executives and have a passion for making sure that technology benefits Australian organisations. Our high-touch service approach enables our clients to develop relationships with advisors, which in turn builds trust and becomes and extension of staff resources, IBRS model includes frequent contact through regular advisor meetings, inquiries, strategic and project reviews.

How do you tell if you are getting the right advice from your Advisory company? Try implementing it. IBRS focuses on providing actionable, tangible recommendations that will improve your ICT strategy and operations. Our advisory papers all list ‘next steps’ so you know exactly what’s needed. Our vendor analysis focuses on the business context and impact, not just the tech features. Trends are nice, and we have them too. But it is real-world, practical advice that make the difference.
