Our History

Frame was incorporated in 2000, marking the start of its journey as a professional ICT services company. The company initially established offices in Sydney and Canberra.

In 2003, Frame underwent rebranding and introduced the slogan "The Advantage of Clarity" as a core value. This year also involved the development of new rigorous Business Systems and various strategic business plans. Frame was led by Brad Ferguson and a group of experienced shareholders, who contributed to the company's growth with their industry knowledge and vision.

Frame expanded its footprint by opening a Melbourne office in 2007, broadening its presence in key Australian markets.

In 2008, Frame established its Brisbane office, continuing its growth across key regions and strengthening its national presence.

During these years, Frame expanded its service offerings, including a stronger focus on project governance, systems design, integration, and training services, catering to both the public and private sectors. Frame also evolved to position itself as more service-oriented, providing comprehensive ICT software solutions to clients.

The company honed its client-first approach, further solidifying its position as a trusted advisor to businesses across Australia.

The 2014-2015 business plan aimed at increasing profitability, with a focus on tighter controls and a greater emphasis on advisory. The company also planned to enhance its sales strategy and diversify into emerging technologies like cloud services and software-defined networks.

Frame’s focus on innovation continued, with the development of new digital solutions for cloud migration and security services.

Frame launched new offerings in cloud migration, security services, and data privacy, addressing the growing need for digital transformation in its client base.

The company opened a new office in the Phillipines and significantly enhanced its remote work capabilities in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, further driving its cloud-based service offerings.

Frame was acquired by GH Varley, a privately owned Australian company founded in 1886. With a strong engineering heritage and success across multiple industries, Varley strategically expanded its portfolio by integrating Frame into its Systems division. This acquisition brought ICT and program management expertise to the forefront of Varley’s capabilities. Post-acquisition, Frame remained focused on strengthening its core services, including cloud migration, security, data privacy, and managed services, while also exploring emerging technologies such as AI and IoT. By continually investigating new technology and innovative use cases, Frame is bridging the gap between its expertise and the broader Varley Group, driving innovation across the business.
