We’re pleased to bring you some exciting news today – Smile IT’s acquisition of Trimble Networks has been made official!
This is a significant milestone for us as Smile IT continues on it’s growth trajectory. It’s also the beginning of a new chapter, one where the combined resources and skills of two established tech companies join to create further opportunities, growth and innovation.
What Trimble Networks Brings to Smile IT
Peter Trimble and Peter Drummond from Smile IT
Trimble Networks have been operating in Brisbane for nearly 20 years. Based in Milton, they’re a team of talented individuals with a customer-centric agenda of progress and innovation. They’ve got a great reputation for providing simple solutions to complex problems, empowering organisations to be more competitive and cyber secure in the process.
First and foremost a managed IT services provider, Trimble have a solid foundation in the Microsoft suite, cloud services, cybersecurity and IT consulting. Their main verticals are the legal, engineering and strata industries, but they have assisted businesses of all sizes and from all industries in their IT journey.
We’re excited about uniting Trimble’s skills and resource with those of Smile IT and seeing the synergy that follows.
United Skills and Resources
The ethos of Smile and Trimble aligns in many ways, from our focus on customer success to our progressive, future-thinking mindset and delivery of customised solutions. This merger will improve on our consulting capabilities, as well as improving our cloud telco resources.
The overlap in our vision and approach will contribute to the benefits for our client base and our teams in a number of ways, including:
Skills Growth: Absorbing the Trimble skillset and their knowledge of different industries will strengthen our capabilities and help us make a positive impact on the industry.
Broader Services: A bigger team, a larger knowledge base and an increased infrastructure combine to better position us to solve a wider range of IT, OT and telecommunications problems for our clients.
Growing but Staying the Same: While we’re growing, our commitment to personalized, customer-focused service remains unchanged. You deal with the same smiling faces and the same local help desk.
What’s Next?

The coming months will see a physical merging of the two teams and resources. It’s business as usual for everybody in terms of looking after clients, and we’ll ensure this is a seamless transition for all stakeholders.
Integrating Trimble into Smile IT will help us expand our offerings for our clients, and we’re excited about the possibilities this presents in the future. We’re looking forward to making new relationships and building on existing ones with Trimble and their clients, and we’re confident the merger will bring powerful benefits to all involved.
We’re committed to continuous growth and improvement at Smile IT, and would like to thank all our clients and other stakeholders for your support in our journey so far. We’d also like to welcome the Trimble Networks team and their clients to the Smile IT family – it’s very exciting to have you onboard!
