Software@Scale named Deloitte 2024 Fast 50 Rising Star

Software@Scale, an Australian technology solutions provider, has been named a Deloitte 2024 Fast 50 "Rising Star".

The company has demonstrated significant revenue growth, achieving a 2,356% increase over three years, despite challenging market conditions. This achievement is notable against a backdrop where access to capital and investment rates have declined across the tech sector.

Software@Scale provides tailored technology solutions across several sectors, including financial services, retail, and healthcare. Its services encompass cloud implementation, cybersecurity, and AI integration, aimed at maintaining secure and scalable platforms. The company employs a team of engineers who bring experience from leading tech firms like Google, Microsoft, and AWS.

The expertise within Software@Scale extends to scale-ups, helping them maximise their technology investments. The company's unique approach and toolkits enable minimal ramp-up time and increased project velocity, addressing the complex challenges faced by their clients.

Patricia Droguett, Partner, Co-founder, and Director of Digital Transformation at Software@Scale, highlighted the importance of a human-centred approach. "Achieving this scale of growth in the tech space requires more than just great products. We believe in a human-centred approach, building strong client relationships through transparent communication and a constant focus on continuous improvement. We're not just delivering technology solutions; we're building partnerships that help businesses reach their full potential," she said upon accepting the Rising Star award.

The company is also committed to "doing business for good," ensuring that its operations have a positive impact. This philosophy is exemplified by their collaboration with GoFundraise, a digital fundraising platform for charities. Software@Scale rearchitected and tested GoFundraise's platform, facilitating their global scaling efforts. This led to GoFundraise setting a new fundraising record at the San Francisco Marathon with a more than 40% increase over previous years.

Droguett also emphasised the company's dedication to diversity and inclusion. She remarked, "It's a reminder that we have a responsibility to lead the way in diversity and inclusion in the tech industry. It's not enough to simply have a few women in leadership roles – we need to create a culture where everyone feels valued, respected, and empowered to reach their full potential. We're not just talking about it; we're actively building it."

Software@Scale's focus on diversity is represented by Droguett's leadership, setting a precedent for gender balance in the tech industry. The company's efforts in championing diversity and their proven business model demonstrate their commitment to fostering lasting improvements in both business practices and industry standards.
