Technology Consultancy: Driving Business Growth at DWS | DWS

Reimagining What’s Possible Since 1991

For over three decades, DWS has helped organisations across Australia reimagine what’s possible through innovative technology, business, and management consulting. With offices in Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide, Brisbane, and Canberra, our 300+ consultants bring deep expertise, local insight, and fresh thinking to every project.

We are a subsidiary of HCLTech, a globally recognised and award-winning technology company providing IT services and solutions to some of the world’s biggest companies.

Through our brand, we deliver end-to-end solutions spanning IT consulting, Staff Augmentation, Managed Delivery, Data & Analytics, Cloud, AI and Automation.

Leveraging HCLTech, we can also help reduce cost & quickly scale development capacity via our unique “Locally Managed Hybrid Offshore Development” model.

Our strength lies in our people. Each consultant is carefully selected for their expertise, creativity, and commitment to excellence. Together, we deliver impactful solutions that drive innovation, efficiency, and long-term value.

At DWS, we don’t just meet expectations – we redefine them.


What We Stand For

Since 1991, DWS has been built on the values of Integrity, Honesty, and Transparency, principles that continue to guide everything we do, every partnership we build, and every solution we deliver.

A Business and Management Consultancy with Heart

At DWS, we believe in making a difference beyond the workplace. Through our Workplace Giving Scheme, employees can support Australian charities like Beyond Blue and Kids with Cancer via salary donations with every contribution matched dollar-for-dollar by the company. Together, we’re creating impact that truly matters.


Commitment to Quality

At DWS, quality isn’t just a process it’s a promise. Our Quality Management System, “Spinnaker One”, underpins everything we do, ensuring consistent, high-standard delivery for our clients, with our Head Office certified under ISO 9001:2015.

Spinnaker One ensures that we utilise proven and repeatable processes, templates, policies and procedures to ensure we provide the highest quality of service to our customers. The system is audited regularly to ensure it stays relevant and adapts to change and to meet the evolving needs of our clients and industry.

  • Measure, review, and continually improve our performance so we not only meet but exceed expectations

At DWS, quality is embedded in our culture, driving innovation, trust, and long-term success for our clients.
