SIAX was created to raise the standard of managed service providers. To prove that integrity, technical depth, and long-term thinking still matter.
SIAX began in 1985 as a locally owned break/fix provider. The work was hands on. The relationships were personal.
In 2004, David Turner took ownership of the business. Having worked within SIAX, he saw that it could be more than reactive support. He believed it could become a disciplined, accountable technology partner.
Through sustained investment, technical depth, and a refusal to accept average standards, David reshaped the company. What began as a small local provider became a managed services organisation known for reliability, security, and long-term client relationships.
As SIAX entered its next phase of growth, Milan Maricic joined the company in 2013 and carried on David’s legacy in accelerating SIAX’s transformation. Bringing commercial focus, strategic clarity, and an uncompromising standard for execution, his leadership has driven operational maturity, strengthened vendor and partner alignment, and sharpened SIAX’s market positioning. This ensured the business has grown with structure, accountability, and conviction.
We are still locally owned and Australian operated. But today, we stand as a national partner delivering structured, security led IT with conviction.
Ethical

100% Australian
Long-Term Partnership
Constructive
We build trust through ethics, and protect what matters through expertise. We believe that true partnership means doing what is right, not what is easy.
This mission guides every engagement we undertake.
Our clients trust us with their critical systems, sensitive data, and operational continuity. That responsibility is not taken lightly.
We exist to protect organisations with discipline, technical strength, and clear advice. When we say we are your partner, we mean we share the responsibility for outcomes.
When partnering with SIAX, how technology translates to customer outcomes & enhanced services is a priority. SIAX have established a variety of value added services based upon this premise & offer a professional MSP engagement for any organisation. SIAX are a great team & a trusted partner of Carbonite.
Alan Bull – ANZ Channel Account Manager (Carbonite)
Our firm has used SIAX since January 2018. All the staff are very friendly, do not use complicated IT talk and attend to our needs in a prompt fashion. Regular reviews are conducted to ensure our safety requirements are met. I would recommend SIAX to any company, big or small.
Lisa O’Brien (Partner – Jim Pickersgill & Associates Pty Ltd)
We do not choose the convenient path. We choose the correct one.
If a shortcut introduces risk, we will say so. If a request compromises compliance or security, we will not proceed. That stance has cost us opportunities, but more importantly, it has earned us long-term trust.
Integrity is not a slogan inside SIAX. It is a filter for every recommendation and every engagement.
Security is considered at the beginning, not after deployment.
Architecture decisions, access controls, device standards, backup strategies and governance frameworks are designed with protection in mind. We assume accountability from day one.
This approach creates environments that are resilient, auditable and aligned to recognised standards.
We are not here for one-off projects that end in silence.
We build enduring relationships with leadership teams and operational stakeholders. We take time to understand business priorities, and remain accountable after implementation.
Partnership means shared responsibility and showing up consistently.
We always question assumptions, especially when they introduce exposure.
That may mean challenging legacy architecture. It may mean advising against underfunded initiatives. It may mean recommending change that requires effort.
We do this with respect and clarity. Not to criticise, but to strengthen outcomes.
At Siax, certifications and recognised frameworks guide how we assess risk, design controls, document environments and report on performance.
Our clients operate in regulated and high consequence sectors. Our responsibility is to help them meet those obligations with clarity and discipline.
SIAX operates from a single Australian office and supports organisations across the country.
We do not offshore support. Every engineer, consultant and security specialist is based in Australia. That decision is deliberate. It protects context, communication and accountability.
When clients call, they speak to professionals who understand their environment and their regulatory landscape. When an incident occurs, response is coordinated locally, not passed between time zones.
We remain locally owned. We remain accessible. And we remain personally accountable for the environments entrusted to us.
