Editor's Note

There are lots of unsung technical heroes behind Australian tech partner businesses - this is their opportunity to earn the Technical Specialist of the Year Award in our 2026 Impact Awards.

We are looking for a technician that truly made an impact in calendar 2025. For example, perhaps they:
- solved a complex technical problem others couldn’t
- played a key role improving systems or uptime; or
- made a critical difference in a challenging, high-pressure situation.

Do you know someone who fits this description? Nominate them here by May 26.
