HCTech Pty Ltd (t/a Hopkinson Consulting)

HCTech is an Australian registered business providing Information and Communications Systems support and consultation.

Established in 1999 by Peter Hopkinson to provide a more accessible method for organisations that have no internal I&C Systems staff and limited technical knowledge to gain access to the advantages that such technology can provide.
Liaising with specialist upstream systems and services vendors on behalf of these organisations and providing hands-on support where required, HCtech can bridge the gap that such organisations face.
