Certificate Awarded to First Aurora as "Top Workplace Technology Services in APAC 2026"

What Sets First Aurora Apart At the heart of First Aurora's approach lies a concept we call "Intelligence Transfer" — a philosophy that represents "The New IT," where outcomes matter more than individual technologies. We believe that workplace technology should operate as a consistent, governed system rather than a collection of disconnected projects. Networks, audio-visual systems, security infrastructure, and cabling are too often commissioned independently, leading to inconsistent standards and operational friction across locations. We solve this challenge by unifying all these elements under a single execution framework. "We design IT environments that are easier to manage, more reliable, practical, and intuitive for our clients, allowing businesses to get more effective performance from their most important resource—their people," says Greg Parkhurst, Managing Director of First Aurora. Our clients consistently cite clarity, accountability, and responsiveness as our distinguishing strengths. Every regional project we manage follows seven core principles: consistency across every location, regional delivery with local execution, smart-hands support for global IT teams, technology sourcing and logistics management, lifecycle documentation and asset management, measurable results delivery, and serving as a single partner across the entire region. A Legacy of Excellence Over our 25-year history, First Aurora has had the privilege of working with some of the world's most distinguished organisations, including WeWork, American Express, Uber, Zoom, the International Monetary Fund, Apple, Netflix, Aecom, and the World Bank. These partnerships have spanned both local and regional projects, each contributing to our deep understanding of what multinational enterprises truly need from their workplace technology partners. The results speak for themselves. One multinational client replaced fragmented meeting room setups with standardised environments across multiple countries, reducing delays by 80%, cutting support tickets nearly to zero, and boosting collaboration space utilisation by 40%. Another consolidated multiple regional vendors under our management, improving quotation turnaround by 30-40% while achieving higher system uptime. Looking Forward This award from CIO Outlook reinforces our commitment to delivering integrated workplace technology that transforms how businesses operate across the Asia Pacific region. We remain dedicated to ensuring that information, collaboration, and performance flow seamlessly across workplaces, connecting and leveraging each client's collective intelligence effectively at every point. To our clients who nominated us and to the CIO Outlook editorial team—thank you for this incredible honour. To organisations looking to transform their workplace technology into a strategic advantage, we would love to show you why CIO Outlook recognised us as the leading player in APAC.
