Innovating from the lake’s edge

LakeMac.Tech

Technology is advancing at a pace we’ve never experienced, and with this growth comes turbulence for the average SMB. What do you embrace, what ought to be ignored, and how do you know who to trust in this rapidly-evolving always-connected world.

Experienced professionals can often be the hardest to find, though will almost always be your most reliable assets to leverage in business.

Turnkey help, around the Lake.

LakeMac.Tech has been forged to provide a simple turn-key panel for businesses looking for any number of technical services/solutions to engage with. Tech is a very broad sphere, especially these days – we’re working to make it easier to approach as a business, especially when you’re not quite sure which solutions are best-suited to your status quo and objectives. Our holistic approach lets you engage with member/s without being locked into any form of contract – you can say g’day to any number of consortium members without stress or obligation!

If you’re at the beginning of your business journey, you have access to design and branding, domain name and hosting, and cyber security services. You also have the ability to start dialogues about any in-house software, hardware or other technical engineering requirements you may have. Our members are passionate about providing the right solutions – built such that you can depend on them – without having to re-build your systems later on, when you realise it wasn’t built properly.

Conversely, if you’re experienced operators in your space our consortium members are just as strong with providing SMB/Enterprise-level assistance where you have scoped or high-level requirements in the VR/AR/Product spaces and are in need of engineering, polish & admin to execute. Beyond that, every member has connections!

We’re respected professionals in our respective domains, and welcome other like-minded tech firms in Lake Mac to make contact.

Do it nice, or do it twice.

We’re here to support businesses within Lake Macquarie and the Greater Hunter – it’s a stunning place to trade, and has reach far beyond our LGA. The diversity within Lake Mac is a thing of beauty and it’s important to us that LakeMac.Tech members are the sort of businesses you’d be happy to sit down with for a coffee, a wine/beer, or a Zoom-y natter. Quality relationships make for quality business.

All of our members are passionate about working to understand your status quo and goals, as it helps to make sure the right solutions are delivered the first time. This means more time spent on “discovery” work up-front, though in the longer term it means less stress for you and more tenure for the solutions – it pays to do it right the first time, and we embody that methodology.

Locals helping locals.

‘Let’s Lake Mac’ is one of the fantastic initiatives that Lake Macquarie City Council operate. They’re supported by Dantia, a powerhouse of professionals working to unlock Lake Mac’s immense potential.

They’ve come together to support LakeMac.Tech, recognising the power of what a group of dedicated local businesses can achieve.

Empower your business’ technology today by saying g’day to the Lake Macquarie Technical Consortium – LakeMac.Tech!
