History

Alphawest can trace its roots back to 1986 when Edcom Pty Ltd commenced operations in Perth specialising in sales and support of personal computers.[1]

Through a number of mergers and acquisitions, Alphawest was formed in 2003 and in 2004 was listed on the Australian Stock Exchange as Alphawest Limited (ASX code: ALW). The company focused on hardware sales and maintenance, network management, and development of financial and document management systems.

In July 2005 SingTel Optus announced it would acquire Alphawest Ltd. for A$25.9 million [2] and the buyout was completed in November 2005. Alphawest Services Pty Ltd is formally owned by Optus Networks Pty Ltd. Optus Business Division transferred a number of staff into Alphawest and it is now a business unit within Optus Business, closely aligned with Optus Business sales and service operations.
