DSTC was established in 1992 as a centre of excellence in distributed
systems technologies and quickly gained an international reputation
as one of the most effective and influential IT research organisations
in Australia.
DSTC is proudly vendor-independent and our
applied
research is primarily focused on providing technology services
to the Government, Defence and Healthcare sectors.
DSTC supplies our
industry partners and clients with new technologies, consulting
services, business development opportunities and professional
IT advice. Their association with the centre allows them to grow
faster, service customers more efficiently and break into new
local and international markets through exclusive services and
product offerings.
DSTC is supported by the Australian Government's Cooperative Research
Centres Program, and a dynamic consortium of Government, Industry
and University organisations.
Core research & development is undertaken by a large network
of
experienced scientists, university academics and industry secondees.
Today, DSTC remains a unique national asset and continues its
work to improve the competitiveness of local business and foster
the growth of new Australian-based IT companies.
Our ideas, our expertise and our core philosophy of applied, industry-specific
research ensures that our research program remains relevant and
responsive to Australian organisations looking to grow and improve
their business through the innovative application of new and emerging
technology.
