Independent Brisbane technology consultancy
About Aurora ICT
Aurora ICT is an independent Brisbane technology consultancy led by Andrea Romano, helping growing businesses make clearer technology decisions through practical IT consulting, technology strategy and Virtual/Fractional CTO guidance.
Clients work directly with Andrea on technology priorities, risk, systems, vendors and transformation decisions — connecting senior-level guidance with practical implementation and support considerations.
Andrea works directly with growing businesses to make technology easier to understand, govern and improve. Through Aurora ICT, his work spans technology strategy, roadmaps, cloud and systems decisions, cybersecurity risk, vendor coordination, digital transformation and practical AI adoption.
The approach is deliberately independent. Technology recommendations start with the business problem, available options, cost, risk and operational requirements rather than a predetermined vendor stack.
Engagements can range from a focused Technology Health Check or technology roadmap through to ongoing Virtual/Fractional CTO guidance and practical technology support.
Work directly with the person advising your business
Aurora ICT is deliberately hands-on. The person discussing your technology priorities is also involved in shaping the advice, roadmap and next steps.
Vendor-independent advice
Recommendations are shaped around the business need rather than a fixed vendor stack.
Strategy connected to delivery
Technology decisions are considered alongside implementation, supportability, risk and operating reality.
Plain-English guidance
Complex technology choices are translated into clear business priorities and practical next steps.
How Aurora ICT works
Business first
Start with the business problem, constraints and desired outcome before selecting technology.
Independent
Assess options based on fit, value, risk and supportability rather than vendor incentives.
Practical
Turn recommendations into clear priorities, sequencing and realistic next actions.
Security-minded
Consider cybersecurity and operational risk as part of technology decisions rather than as an afterthought.
Technology advice backed by real delivery
Aurora ICT's advisory work is connected to practical technology delivery — from long-term infrastructure modernisation to cloud architecture, cybersecurity improvement and ownership of business-critical integrations.
Legacy Infrastructure Transformation
A five-year technology transformation that eliminated physical servers, moved suitable workloads to SaaS, introduced targeted Azure and AWS services, modernised CMS and CRM platforms, reduced complexity and improved cybersecurity and supportability.
ERP & Customer Portal Integration
A business case, AWS architecture and migration program that brought business-critical ERP and customer portal integration services back under the organisation's control, reducing third-party dependency and broadening future support options.
Talk through your technology priorities with Andrea
If your business needs clearer technology direction, better control of risk and vendors, or senior guidance without a full-time technology executive, start with a conversation about what is happening today and what needs to improve next.
