Leading IT in Lake Mac

Published on 17 September 2024

Dynamic Business Technologies (DBT) has recently made waves in the local business community by winning Business of the Year at the Lake Macquarie Business Excellence Awards and receiving a Highly Commended Award for Employer of Choice at the Business Hunter Awards. This recognition is a testament to their commitment to innovation, community, and excellence in IT services.

A Journey of Passion and Innovation

Founded in 2006 by Nathan Franks, DBT began as a one-man operation driven by a passion for technology and a vision to humanise IT. Nathan noticed a gap in the market for IT providers who could deliver not only technical solutions but also meaningful relationships with clients. “From the beginning, our focus was to humanise IT by simplifying the complexities and building trust with businesses,” Nathan shared. Today, DBT has grown into a dedicated team offering a full suite of IT services and solutions across Australia and beyond.

Rooted in Lake Macquarie

Nathan has called Lake Macquarie home since 2000, and the area has played a significant role in DBT’s growth. “Lake Macquarie provides an amazing lifestyle and is home to a thriving and diverse business community,” Nathan explained. The local support has been crucial, allowing DBT to build lasting relationships and collaborate with other local businesses.

Community Influence and Support

The local community’s support has been a cornerstone of DBT’s success. Many of their clients are based in Lake Macquarie, and the strong business network has facilitated collaborations that enhance their services. “It’s inspiring to see local businesses grow and to know that we’ve played a role in their success,” Nathan said.

Advice for Aspiring Businesses

Nathan’s advice for other local businesses aiming for success is to stay true to their values and always put clients first. “Success doesn’t happen overnight, so be prepared for the long haul. Surround yourself with a talented team that shares your vision, and don’t be afraid to invest in relationships — with both clients and your local community,” he advised.

A Vibrant Community

Lake Macquarie is described by Nathan as a vibrant, thriving community that balances natural beauty with business growth. “It is a place where innovation is encouraged, and there is a strong sense of community support,” he noted. The region offers a great lifestyle for both businesses and families.

Active Community Participation

DBT regularly participates in local business networking events and sponsors various community initiatives. They are proud participants in the Lake Macquarie Business Excellence Awards and are always looking for ways to give back through sponsorship and mentorship programs. Their current work experience program provides hands-on experience for IT and business students completing their TAFE certifications.

Recognition and Future Prospects

Winning at the Lake Macquarie Business Excellence Awards has boosted DBT’s visibility and credibility in the local business community. “It has helped us build stronger connections and credibility, and we’ve had several new clients approach us after seeing our success,” Nathan shared. Receiving a Highly Commended Award in the Employer of Choice category at the Business Hunter Awards further validates the hard work and dedication of the DBT team. This recognition marks the next step in their journey, showcasing their commitment to creating an exceptional workplace and delivering top-notch IT services.
