About us

Leaders in transitional technologies

During the last 30 years Essential has been at the leading edge of providing expertise and solutions that allow enterprises to integrate, migrate and optimise their mission-critical email, calendaring and collaboration systems.

In the early 90’s we enabled organisations to connect their propriety systems with the Internet.

Now, as the ‘modern workplace’ is evolving at lightning speed, we are helping enterprises transition their legacy data and infrastructure to the cloud and then build on their investment to deliver successful outcomes for their business and their workforce.
