blueAPACHE Victoria have moved into their new home

Our 10 July 2017 announcement reported the move of our Victorian operations to 436 Johnston Street, Abbotsford. It brought the team together and provided infrastructure for future expansion.

Note on current details: Our Melbourne head office is today located at Level 21, 242 Exhibition Street, Melbourne. The move described here is a point in our history rather than the current address.

From a spare bedroom in Vermont South

The move is best understood against where the company started.

We were ASIC-registered on Thursday 30 July 1998 and founded in Vermont South, in Melbourne's eastern suburbs — beginning from a spare bedroom, with a vision of making enterprise-grade technology more accessible and more accountable.

The distance between that and a floor of a city tower is the distance between an idea and an institution.

Why growth forces the move

The 2017 announcement explained the reason for the move: bringing the Victorian team together under one roof while allowing for future expansion.

These are dated reports, not current workforce or growth figures.

What a head office does in a services business

The 2017 announcement describes the office layout rather than comparing remote and in-person performance. It highlights an open plan intended to encourage collaboration, natural light, custom-fit meeting rooms, a workshop and acoustic privacy pods for calls or video conferences.

The national and international footprint

Melbourne is head office. We also operate from:

Our published contact information lists data centres in 165+ locations across Australia, New Zealand, the United States, the United Kingdom and Singapore. Our company history records Points of Presence in London (2019) and Singapore (2020). The available facilities and locations depend on the service.

The historical account of network funding

In a July 2023 Moxie Insights profile, Marshall said network investment had been funded through cash flow and explained his preference for long-term investment decisions. This historical account does not establish how the office move was financed.

Frequently asked questions

Where did the company start? In Vermont South, in Melbourne's eastern suburbs, from a spare bedroom. We were ASIC-registered on Thursday 30 July 1998.

Why does growth force an office move in a services business? The 2017 announcement said the move would bring the Victorian team together under one roof and provide infrastructure for future expansion.

What was the growth trajectory? Published reports from this period describe the company's growth in both headcount and revenue terms. The 2017 article's 32% figure refers to business growth, not a headcount increase. These are historical figures and do not describe the business as it stands today.

Why does a physical office still matter when hybrid work is normal? The 2017 article describes an open plan intended to encourage collaboration, with meeting rooms, a workshop and acoustic privacy pods. It does not compare engineering, training or incident outcomes between office and remote work.

Our contact page lists Sydney (Level 7, 219 Castlereagh Street), Brisbane (Level 2, 16 Marie Street, Milton), London (128 City Road, EC1V 2NX) and Miami (382 NE 191st Street), plus data centres in 165+ locations.
