About Solution Minds

Nearly two decades of data and analytics consulting in Perth, Western Australia. IBM Gold Partner. Anaplan Partner. Databricks Partner. And proudly local.

Our Story

Proudly Perth-based since 2006

Solution Minds was founded in Perth, Western Australia, with a singular mission: to help local organisations make smarter decisions through better data. Nearly two decades later, that mission hasn't changed — but the technology certainly has.

We started as IBM TM1 specialists serving WA's booming resources sector. As our clients' needs evolved — and as cloud, AI, and connected planning emerged — so did our capability. Today, Solution Minds delivers end-to-end data and analytics services across IBM, Anaplan, and Databricks platforms.

What hasn't changed is our commitment to WA. We're not a global systems integrator with a Perth outpost — we're a Perth firm, through and through. Our consultants live here. Our clients are here. And we're invested in the long-term success of Western Australia's economy.
