About Autosports Group

The Autosports Group, established in 2006, now encompasses over 55 retail businesses across ANZ with a diverse portfolio of luxury automotive brands. They have grown from a single dealership to a significant presence with 2000 users across 100 sites after being listed on the ASX in 2016.

What Autosports Group have to say:

Our experience with Platinum Technology was transformative. Their technical expertise in upgrading our complex systems to a secure Microsoft public cloud environment was outstanding. The team’s professionalism and the seamless collaboration in redesigning our firewall and switching infrastructure underpinned a significant modernisation without impacting our daily business operations. Their ability to meet deadlines and ease of partnership sets them apart. Standardising our networks and computing environment has brought immense efficiency gains.
