Industry estimates place 45 percent of IT revenue in Australia spent in Sydney. The CRN Fast50 hit this number almost right on the head.
NSW pulled in 46 percent of the total revenue with $343 million. It relied on fewer resellers to do this, however, with 18 resellers instead of last year's 23.
The state that showed the most improvement was Queensland, which delivered eight resellers making $73 million, up from five last year. Analysis of the Queenslanders' customer base reveals some surprises. Mining drew an average 9 percent of revenue, well behind manufacturing, 23 percent, and government, 13 percent.
In comparison mining (23 percent) helped Western Australia's six resellers ($14 million total)
hold their own.
Hats off to ISW Development (No.18), the list's first from Tasmania. ISW, which is a majority software and services business, had a terrific year with 54 percent growth to $7 million revenue.
Victoria contributed 14 resellers and $290 million to the CRN Fast50, but they were on average the most successful, just pipping the NSW contingent. Victorian resellers generated on average $20.7 million to NSW's $19 million.
