Telstra Platinum Enterprise Partner OneStep Group has acquired Brisbane-based managed IT, cloud solutions, and cybersecurity provider C5 Technology.
The acquisition strengthens the Queensland presence of OneStep Group, which also has offices in Melbourne, Sydney and Perth, where OneStep Group acquired cybersecurity and Microsoft consultancy ES2 in 2023.
The deal brings OneStep Group’s workforce to more than 200 people and strengthens the company’s managed IT services, cloud migration and management, and cybersecurity offerings, according to its announcement.
It also expands OneStep Group’s data security, business continuity, and digital transformation capabilities.
OneStep Group touts more than 1,000 customers and experience in retail, government, enterprise, and healthcare. OneStep Group was Cradlepoint Partner of the Year in 2023 and Cisco Enterprise Partner of the Year in 2022.
C5 was a strong cultural fit and brought “significant further technical talent”, said OneStep Groups Chief Executive, Andrew Field, in the announcement.
“We are very pleased that the C5 Technology team will be joining our group. They are highly talented and give our group a strong presence in Brisbane,” he stated.
C5 founder Mark Osborne and CFO Ashika Lala will join the OneStep Group executive team.
“Joining OneStep Group is a great fit for C5,” Osborne stated. “The consolidated company will have a very strong set of capabilities. We are excited to be the Queensland presence for the wider group which in turn enables a positive step change in capability and scalability for C5, and I am looking forward to playing my part in the future success of the team.”
