This project exemplifies how the right MSP empowered a disability service to achieve its vision of helping thousands of Australians in need by using the right technology.

They have a core team of 24 at the HO, supporting 105 mobile employees delivering essential disability services to Australians.

What Riverlink have to say:

We were looking for a technology partner that could understand our needs, be transparent in our current state and more importantly, assist us in closing out significant technology issues. Platinum did all of those and more. The Board & Management team feel we have a true technology partner in Platinum. They have been proactive in assisting us to deliver our purpose and mission.
