Perth
Custom software and AI development for Perth businesses
DevPro has no Perth office and will not pretend otherwise. What it has is a Perth client, a build that ran entirely inside that client's own Microsoft 365 tenant, and a straight answer about how two hours of time difference actually works.
There is no Perth office, and that is the honest version
DevPro's office is in Queensland. There are no DevPro people in Perth, and a serviced address on this page pretending otherwise would be the first thing to find out and the last thing you would forgive. So here is what a Perth engagement actually looks like.
Perth is two hours behind south-east Queensland, which cuts the working day you share to roughly six hours rather than eight. In practice that is better than it sounds and worse than nothing: a Perth business gets a team that starts before them and is available through their whole morning, and loses the late afternoon. It is a real constraint, and it is a smaller one than an offshore team eight hours out of phase.
The part of this work that genuinely benefits from a room is the first stage, mapping how the operation runs with the people who run it. That is a trip, and it is planned as one rather than pretended away.
The Perth build
A Perth-headquartered resources business needed access to its documents governed: requested with a reason, approved by whoever actually owns the content, expiring on a clock rather than accumulating forever, and reportable so somebody could answer the question of who can see what.
The hard part was the platform rule. Their security posture rules out any application that holds their documents outside SharePoint, which removes the obvious answer of building a web application. So the governance was built inside the tenant instead, as SharePoint Framework extensions in the page the user is already looking at, and Power Automate flows behind them. Nothing custom sits outside their Microsoft 365 tenant holding a copy of anything.
The whole build is written up, anonymously at the client's protection: access that expires by default, under a no custom code rule. If your own security team has a rule like that one, it is worth reading as evidence that the rule is a workable brief rather than a dead end.
Who this fits in WA
Businesses whose constraint is not the budget but the platform standard: the resources sector, anything with a serious compliance obligation, and any organisation whose security review has already killed a good idea because it involved a vendor holding data. That is the situation the Perth build was designed around, and it is the one DevPro is most useful in.
If your systems are all off the shelf and working, this is the wrong purchase and DevPro will say so. Where Microsoft 365 and SharePoint already fit, they get configured properly rather than replaced.
What DevPro builds
- AI workflow systemsEnd-to-end processes with the manual handling taken out and the approvals automated.
- AI agents for operationsAgents that monitor, chase follow-ups and work inside the systems you already run.
- AI integration and orchestrationOne controlled execution layer across your tools, APIs and data, with oversight intact.
- Custom AI platformsThe build for when nothing off the shelf fits the way the business actually runs.
Common questions
- Do you have anyone in Perth?
- No. The office is in Queensland and the team is 100% Australian-based. We would rather say that than list a Perth address nobody works from, and the client work on this page was delivered on exactly those terms.
- How does the time difference work in practice?
- Perth is two hours behind south-east Queensland, so the shared working day is about six hours and it sits across your morning. Sessions that need everyone get booked in that window. Delivery work does not care.
- Our security team will not approve a vendor holding our data. Is that the end of it?
- No, and the Perth build is the reason we say so. Everything ran inside the client's own Microsoft 365 tenant, so the security review was about what the code does rather than about our hosting. There is a great deal that can be built inside SharePoint and Power Platform without anything leaving.
- Do you fly over?
- For the first stage, yes, when the work warrants it. Mapping how an operation actually runs is worth being in the room for. The rest is delivered remotely, in the same country and close to the same timezone.
