“Our mission is to simplify the complexity of creating value from data.”
“Our vision is to become the global standard in unifying business, science, and engineering.”
Intellify was born in January of 2018 when our founders came together with a shared passion for solving Australia’s hardest business problems through advanced data and machine learning solutions.
They sought to build a specialist consultancy that was able to deliver measurable ROI in weeks, not months, by combining the business acumen of management consultants, the algorithmic knowledge of Australia’s best data scientists, as well as the data and cloud skills of leading DevOps professionals.
After growing from our 4 founders to over 15 staff in early 2019 and delivering many successful projects for large enterprises and government along the way, Intellify was named Amazon Web Services Partner of the Year in 2019 for Data, Analytics, and Machine Learning. This achievement was due to Intellify’s customer obsession, experienced consultants, and several high-impact machine learning projects across the areas of telecommunications, energy, and transport.
In 2020, with over 25 consultants, Intellify was awarded Amazon Web Service’s Machine Learning Competency, only the 2nd consulting partner in Australia and New Zealand, through our demonstrated best practice of machine learning on Amazon Web Services cloud computing platform.
In 2021, Intellify has expanded to 50 staff across data engineering, data science, analytics, business intelligence, and DevOps to meet our clients’ growing requirements across the full spectrum of data-enabled services. Intellify was further recognised as Databricks Partner of the Year in 2022 & 2021.
Most recently, and in a reflection on how we come together as a team, Intellify received recognition for our workplace culture as a Great Place to Work® Certified company in June 2021.
To safeguard our future generations, we hold ourselves accountable for the ethical and unbiased use of data.
When relevant, we build technical and process guardrails and improve them with every iteration to avoid laying the wrong AI foundations.
We believe that constraints lead us to better solutions.
We turn constraints into opportunities and consider them as creativity stimulants rather than blockers.
Using lean thinking, in every decision, we ask ourselves, can I do more with less?
We have an exceptional ability in choosing what to say no to.
In our decisions, we focus on a few activities that bring the highest return to our customers in the long run.
With fewer distractions, we take more calculated risks and grow our capabilities in a nonlinear fashion.
We believe the most valuable solutions come from diverse opinions.
We passionately debate, challenge, and disagree with each other, always with mutual respect and emphasising the facts.
However, we have exceptional talent in converging on a final decision, accepting it wholeheartedly and then executing it to the best of our ability.
We think big, make bold plans and use them to inspire the market. However, the bolder the plan, the more humble and critical we are about it.
We work tirelessly to confirm or disprove our assumptions and theories, and we are willing to change our opinions with the new data that we seek out.
We worry less about looking smart and instead use that energy for continuous improvement and walking the path of mastery.
There is great power in simplification, and the ability to strip away unnecessary complexity is an attribute we strive for in all aspects of our work.
There is nothing simple about simplicity, and achieving it requires a thorough understanding of the problem space and the needs of the intended audience.
The right people are our most valuable asset.
We believe in the “who” before “how” or “what“; therefore, it is everyone’s job to hire and develop bar-raising talent continuously.
Speed and profit matter in the business, but we willingly trade-off short-term gains to find and continue to develop the right people.
Our job does not finish with hiring but only starts. We develop our teams and encourage skills diversity through our cross-functional delivery structure.
As builders, we are peculiar in our approach to learning and applying. We learn by doing, we build to last, and we are comfortable thinking counterintuitively.
There is no challenge too complex because we get a kick when solving problems with no blueprints. No matter what role we play, we are builders, and we enjoy the process as much as the result.
Our proudest badge of honour is to be our customer’s trusted advisors.
We obsessively examine our decisions to ensure the highest delivery quality, and we tie our success to the sustained value we create for our customers.
When needed, we drop everything else to earn and keep our customers’ trust.
We work with leading technology providers to build and deliver solutions that solve our customer’s most challenging business problems.
