Thebarton IT Support for Research and Light Industrial Teams

Thebarton holds Adelaide's bioscience and research precinct in among its older industrial fabric. Laboratories, medical research spin-outs and university-linked engineering tenants occupy buildings a few doors from workshops, small manufacturers, breweries and creative studios. It is an unusual combination: almost no corporate tenancies, mostly small organisations, and yet compliance and data-handling obligations that would not look out of place in a tower.

That calls for process rather than improvisation: changes recorded, maintenance in agreed windows, and work that can be explained to a lab manager or a research lead afterwards, not only to whoever happened to raise it.

Lab and research tenants generally carry heavier formal obligations than the brewery two units along. Essential Eight work and security controls here are built to be demonstrated to a funder, an ethics committee or a partner institution rather than simply asserted. The light industrial businesses next door need none of that ceremony, and they do not get charged for it either.
