History
McCluskey Digital Enterprises (MDE) was founded in response to a recurring truth witnessed across government and industry: too many organisations struggle to extract value from their data and digital systems—not for lack of vision, but due to complex infrastructure, fragmented integration and a lack of practical examples when executing digital strategy.
After delivering large-scale digital transformation and data projects across state and federal departments and agencies—including infrastructure procurement reform, cloud platform delivery, data warehousing delivery, data science initiatives and waste system modernisation—our team saw the need for a different kind of partner. One grounded in experience, shaped by delivery and able to cut through noise with clarity.
MDE exists to help organisations unlock the value in their data. We combine modern Azure infrastructure, proven integration practices and pragmatic strategy to deliver scalable solutions that empower decision-makers, uplift teams and accelerate outcomes.
Founded by Rory McCluskey, a respected program manager, integration specialist and data strategist, MDE is a compact team of practitioners who bring technical expertise and delivery mindset to every engagement.
