For over 25 years, Catalyst has been a trusted technology partner for government, enterprise and non-profits.

We specialise in open source software (OSS) and IT systems that provide data sovereignty and remove licensing fees and vendor lock-in.

Software Development

We’re not constrained by ‘the way it’s always been done’. Instead, we focus on what you want your software to do and use open source software solutions to create infinite possibilities.
