Business Critical Software for Australian Organisations
Microknot designs, builds and supports business critical software for Australian organisations. We work with established businesses and funded ventures that need software built properly the first time: platforms that scale, integrate with the systems you already run, and stay maintainable for years.
Our Sydney team leads every engagement, from discovery workshops and architecture through to design, quality assurance and launch. Microsoft technologies and .NET sit at the core of what we build, with AI and data built into the solution where they create real value.

Who we work with
Our clients are typically businesses with $10M+ annual turnover, or new ventures with a committed software budget of $100k or more. They include enterprise organisations, not for profits, health and aged care providers, financial services firms, retailers and fast growing product companies across Australia.
Common reasons clients come to us:
- Spreadsheets and disconnected systems are slowing the business down
- A legacy application has become risky, expensive or impossible to change
- A new product idea needs a reliable MVP built to scale
- A previous developer has left a project unfinished or unstable
- Leadership wants to use AI and data, but needs a partner who can deliver it securely
