Based in Darwin, working with businesses across Australia. When you email or call, the person who responds is the same person writing the code. 18+ years of real enterprise and government systems behind every project.
Most modernisation projects fail because they try to replace everything at once. Our approach replaces nothing until it is safe to do so.
Before writing a line of new code, we map every integration and surface the undocumented business logic that's living in people's heads. This is where most projects go wrong if you skip it.
We build a clean API layer over your existing systems, including legacy services and mainframe integrations where needed. Your data store keeps running. The manual workarounds stop.
Your users get a modern interface that actually works. We upgrade .NET versions systematically and migrate to Azure where it makes financial sense. You see the result in reduced processing time and lower running costs.
The principle: The mainframe keeps running. The manual workflows stop. The users get a modern interface. The agency reduces infrastructure cost. We have applied this approach on live NT Government systems serving 20,000+ employees without a single unplanned outage during transition.
Hrishi Digital Solutions was founded in October 2021 by a developer who had spent 18+ years building enterprise software across three countries. The career started with software engineering in India, then on-site contracting in the UK from 2010 for clients in finance and publishing, before moving back to India in 2014 to continue UK client work remotely. Then Australia in 2017.
After moving to Darwin in 2017, the next four years were spent as an Analyst Programmer on NT Government digital transformation projects. Budget management systems, grants administration portals, worker screening systems, and employee onboarding platforms. Each project involved the same practical challenge: integrating modern web applications with legacy PIPS mainframe systems running ADABAS databases, without disrupting live payroll and HR operations.
Hrishi Digital was founded because that specific combination of skills, modern .NET development with genuine mainframe integration experience, was in demand beyond what government employment alone could serve. By October 2021 the company had its first external engagement, a contractor role on a state government education platform supporting over 150,000 international students.
NT Government ICT Specialist Services panel approval came in 2023. Since then we have led architectural modernisation of NT Government core HR systems impacting 20,000+ public servants, delivered AI-assisted workflow automation, and expanded to serve clients across NT, Victoria, and New South Wales.

18+ years of production deployments on government systems generates insights you will not find in documentation. Here is what the actual work has taught us.
An NT Government HR system was generating over 500 manual processing tasks every month because three different systems did not talk to each other. The payroll data lived in ADABAS on the mainframe. The right answer was not to replace the mainframe. It was to build an API wrapper using EntireX middleware and automate the workflow layer in ASP.NET MVC on top of it. The mainframe kept running. The manual work stopped.
HR processing time dropped by 60%. The mainframe integration has been in production for over two years without an unplanned outage. The lesson: solve the workflow problem, not the infrastructure problem you were not asked to solve.
A government employee identification system needed to match records across multiple employment episodes and assign unique identifiers, with a full audit trail. We chose Blazor Server over a JavaScript SPA specifically because the matching logic and audit requirements needed to stay on the server. Windows Authentication and claims-based access were already in the government environment. Blazor Server let us keep all of that server-side without building a separate API layer that would need its own security surface.
The system has been processing employee records for 20,000+ government employees since delivery. Zero unplanned downtime. The decision to use Blazor Server was questioned early. It has not been questioned since.
Working as a contractor on a state government education platform used by over 150,000 international students meant that any broken SSIS package was not a development problem, it was a student enrolment problem. The stack was .NET Core 6, Angular 14, Entity Framework, and Azure Blob Storage, with SSIS handling data migration from external systems. Monitoring those SSIS packages, diagnosing failures under load, and managing change requests without breaking live enrolments was the most rigorous production discipline we have experienced.
That scale of production exposure shapes how we approach testing and release management on every project since, including projects a fraction of that size.
Across multiple government projects we have upgraded production systems through .NET Framework, .NET Core 3.1, .NET Core 6, and .NET 8. Each jump surfaces breaking changes in Entity Framework behaviour, middleware pipeline configuration, and third-party package compatibility. Mainframe integration endpoints and claims-based authentication need specific regression testing after every runtime upgrade.
The rule we now apply: never upgrade the .NET runtime and a major dependency in the same release. Separate them. When something breaks, you need to know which change caused it.
When we integrate AI into government or enterprise systems, the useful application is almost never a chatbot. It is extracting structured data from unstructured sources with a verified output: reading a PDF leave form and writing the correct fields to PIPS, parsing an invoice and matching line items to a purchase order, or classifying incoming documents before routing them through an approval workflow. The AI produces a structured output that a human reviews. It does not make the decision.
Every AI integration we have delivered is auditable, reversible, and has a human checkpoint before data enters a production record. Government systems need deterministic outcomes, not probabilistic ones.
Every technology here has been deployed in a live production system for a paying client. Not demo projects.

Approved supplier on the NT Government ICT Specialist Services panel. Pre-qualified with verified security practices, insurance, and delivery history. Government agencies can engage directly without a full tender in many cases.
We follow the ACSC Essential Eight mitigation strategies. For businesses that need to demonstrate security maturity or work with government, this matters. For those that don't, it just means your system is built securely.
Hrishi Digital Solutions Pty Ltd is 100% Australian-owned and operated. All development, data handling, and infrastructure remains within Australian jurisdiction. Sovereign capability for government and regulated industry clients.
No account managers, no offshore handoffs. The same senior developer who scopes the project writes the code, attends requirements sessions, and responds when something needs attention in production.
Based in Darwin with genuine NT Government delivery experience. Remote-first delivery has been our default since 2017. We serve clients across NT, Victoria, and New South Wales with the same standards.
We built the system. We support, update, and improve it over time. That continuity matters when compliance requirements change, .NET versions need upgrading, and new integrations need to be added years after go-live.
"We do not build things that require us to be permanently in the room. The goal of every system we deliver is that the client team could maintain and extend it without us, even if they choose not to. That standard changes how we write code, how we document, and what we consider done."

Questions we get asked regularly, with direct answers.
Yes. Our development practices align with the ASD Essential Eight mitigation strategies. For NT Government engagements this covers application control, patching practices, macro hardening, and multi-factor authentication requirements. These are built into architecture from the start of an engagement, not retrofitted at the end. We have delivered under these requirements on multiple NT Government systems.
Yes. Hrishi Digital Solutions is 100% Australian-owned and operated. All development work, data handling, and cloud infrastructure is within Australian jurisdiction. For NT Government and regulated industry clients, we use Australian Azure regions specifically and document data residency as part of the architecture.
