Fifteen years in the same city, doing the same thing properly

- Apple Authorised Reseller
- Apple Premium Technical Partner
- 4× Ivanti Partner of the Year

CDTS was founded in 2010 to provide consulting, design and technology services to organisations that could not afford to get it wrong. Fifteen years later that is still the shape of the business: a Canberra team, working for Australian government, defence and enterprise customers, on the platforms their people depend on every day.
We grew up around mobility. When most managed service providers still treated phones as telephony, we were building enrolment architectures, migrating fleets between platforms and arguing about certificate chains. That became a specialist practice — and it is why organisations with difficult mobile estates tend to find their way to us.
The rest of the managed service grew because our customers asked for it. Service desk, cloud, networks, backup, security and procurement — because a fleet that works and an environment that does not is only half an answer.
Our team brings over 30 years of combined experience across State and Federal Government, Defence and Enterprise, with deep expertise in enterprise mobility, cyber security, compliance and infrastructure.
See what we doWhat makes us a different proposition
Specialists in mobility and endpoint management, with the local presence, the delivery record and the personnel arrangements that public sector work demands.
MDM & UEM specialists
Mobility and endpoint management is a specialist practice here, not a line item. Ivanti, Intune, Jamf and SOTI in production across Australian government.
Security-cleared resources
Australian-based team with security-cleared personnel available for engagements that require them, and onshore delivery as standard.
Canberra-based
On the ground in Bruce, ACT — in the same city, same time zone and often the same building as the agencies we support.
Proven delivery
Four-time winner of the Ivanti / MobileIron Partner of the Year award, and an Apple Premium Technical Partner.
Indigenous-owned SMB
100% Indigenous-owned Australian small-to-medium business, listed on the BuyICT Digital Marketplace.
One accountable partner
Procurement, deployment, security and support under one agreement — with escalation to the engineers who built it.
Security-cleared people, onshore
Working in Australian government and defence environments is not only a technical question. It is a question of who is in the room, where the work is performed and where the data lives.
CDTS is an Australian-owned company based in Canberra. Our work is performed onshore by Australian-based staff, and we maintain security-cleared personnel for engagements that require cleared resources.
Clearance levels and personnel requirements are confirmed per engagement. Talk to us about the specific requirement in your contract or security plan.
- Australian-owned and Australian-operated, headquartered in Canberra
- Security-cleared personnel available for engagements that require them
- Delivery performed onshore — no offshore service desk or remote administration
- Data residency mapped per service, before you commit to anything
- Vetted, named engineers assigned to your environment rather than a rotating pool
