Technology should work for your business — not the other way around.
Range is the company behind Range IT and Range IS — two specialist teams solving the exact same problem: information and technology that gets in the way instead of helping.

M-Files, Custom Software & AI Automation
Organising scattered files into connected knowledge, automating workflows, and building software tailored to how your business actually works.

Why most technology engagements fail
Most businesses don't fail because they lack technology — they fail because their information and IT work against them: hours lost hunting for files, systems that don't talk to each other, and IT that only gets attention once it's already broken.
“That's what we've been fixing since 2002, and the standard hasn't changed: we're not measured by how much technology we can sell, but by how much friction we can remove.”
How we work
Every engagement starts the same way: find the friction, then turn it into traction — across your IT, your information, and your systems, not just one at a time.
Friction Audit
We start by finding out exactly where information, IT, or workflow is costing you time, money, or risk — across the whole business, not just the department that called us.
Unify
We connect what you've already got — your network, your cloud, your software, whether that's M-Files or something else entirely — instead of replacing it, so your systems behave like one.
Secure
Access control, compliance, and cybersecurity get built in from day one, not bolted on once something's gone wrong.
Automate
Where repetitive work can be safely handed to a system, we build it — with a person still accountable for what it does.
Traction Check
We check back in on purpose. Ongoing, proactive review, so the friction we removed doesn't quietly creep back in.
Most IT and information management providers design everything up front, hand you a finished system, and move on to the next client. We find the friction first, fix the highest-cost points, and keep checking — so the system gets better the longer we're involved, not just on the day it ships.
Who leads Range today
Direct, engineering-led leadership across our two specialist divisions.
Zaanif Kugashia
Director & Principal Consultant
Leads information management — M-Files enterprise document control, custom software architecture, and the system integrations that make your business information effortless to find, trust, and automate.
Phillip Johnson
Director & Senior Systems Engineer
Leads the managed IT side of the business — cloud infrastructure, cybersecurity, telephony, and the day-to-day operational reliability that keeps your systems running without surprises.
What we do
Integrated solutions across IT infrastructure, document intelligence, and custom software.
Managed IT & Security
Calm in a storm
Managed IT Services
Downtime doesn't announce itself — it costs you a morning or a shift. Direct, local engineering support across Newcastle, Hunter Valley, and Sydney. We manage your cloud, cybersecurity, and telephony proactively so failures are caught before they cost you a day.
Information Management
Find anything in seconds, not folders
AI-Powered Document Management (M-Files)
Powered by AI, M-Files organises information by what it is, not where it's filed. Turn scattered files into connected knowledge that's easy to trust, audit, and automate — across your existing systems with no costly migration required.
Custom Systems & AI
Built around how you work
Custom Software & Systems Integration
Off-the-shelf software makes you adapt your business to fit the tool. We build and connect software around your actual workflow — CRM, ERP, CAD, and custom APIs — so growth doesn't mean starting over.
What's next: AI & Process Automation
AI and automation isn't one standalone product — it's whatever actually saves your team time. That might be document handling built on M-Files, custom workflows connecting your CRM and ERP so approvals move themselves, or AI voice & admin automation — implemented into a process costing real hours every week.
“Most AI tools are only as good as the information behind them — which happens to be exactly what we've spent over two decades getting right.”
Connect M-Files, Salesforce, Microsoft 365, and SAP with vault-grounded AI security.
