HCLTech

HCLTech is a global IT services company that has operated in Australia since 1999. Its local teams, which include the DWS and Symplicit businesses, work from offices in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide and Canberra. Clients are mainly large enterprises and government agencies, including banks, utilities, retailers, health providers and sporting bodies.

For AI work, the Australian teams draw on the group's global offerings: AI Advisory, AI Labs, AI Foundry, the AI Force platform and a Responsible AI practice. Typical projects take a use case from strategy and proof of concept into production, then run it as a managed service. HCLTech builds generative AI features on Microsoft Azure AI and Azure OpenAI, and it also partners with AWS, Google Cloud and OpenAI.

Much of its local AI work starts with data. It moves legacy data platforms to the cloud so that banks and other large firms can run analytics and machine learning at scale. Alongside AI, it offers application modernisation, cloud and infrastructure services, cybersecurity and digital workplace support. It suits organisations that want one large provider to plan, build and operate AI systems together with the platforms that feed them.
