rhipe Empowering Partner Success for Over 20 Years. At Crayon we are at our partners’ side of the table. Always.

Crayon is a leading distributor of cloud solutions and services in APAC, providing partners with business advisory and deep domain technical expertise to thrive in the growing cloud market. With over 4,000 team members across 46 countries, we have extensive experience servicing channel partners’ needs around software licensing, cloud cost management, and optimizing revenue streams for businesses like services providers, system integrators, and software development companies. Our Story

Crayon’s growth in the Asia-Pacific region is testament to the value of combining direct enterprise consultancy services with a strong partner ecosystem in the channel. Since opening our Singapore and Malaysia offices in 2013, we have steadily expanded Crayon’s field presence into Australia and New Zealand, Indonesia and the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Japan and South Korea. By 2022, a series of strategic acquisitions merged Crayon’s regional operations with the leading cloud solutions distribution and services capabilities of Australian-based rhipe Limited, cybersecurity specialists, emt Distribution, cloud managed services firm, Parallo, and with Oracle specialist, Navicle. The successful integration of these organisations reinforces our ability to scale Crayon’s service capabilities into advanced Cloud, Data and AI technology domains, and deliver increased value to Crayon customers and partners in Asia Pacific.

One Combined Channel. More for Every Partner.

SoftwareOne and Crayon have unified their channel businesses across APAC under the SoftwareOne brand.

We've brought two established channel organisations together into one, with complementary strengths in Software asset management, cloud, cybersecurity, data and AI, and managed and technical services.

For our partners, nothing changes about the people they already work with or the customers they own. What changes is how much expertise, how many services and how many opportunities they can now reach through those relationships.

One channel business with more capability behind every partner.

10 finalist recognitions. One approach behind them: Distribution Done Differently.

We’re proud to be named a finalist in 10 categories at the ARN Innovation Awards 2026, recognising the work we’ve put into building a distribution business around what our partners need.

Our finalist categories span Creativity, Specialist, Software, Marketplace, and Innovation for Good, reflecting everything from AI, security, and Copilot enablement to Cloud-iQ and our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion.

We’re just as proud to see five of our people recognised for the work they do every day:
• Mathew Howard: Management Excellence
• Karen Cheng: Marketing Excellence
• Alphi Augustine: Channel Excellence
• Ben Skuditis: Sales Excellence
• Ksenia Turner: Technical Excellence

These recognitions come as we prepare for our next chapter as SoftwareOne. We’ll have greater scale and more support behind us, but the thinking that got us here stays the same: be on our partners’ side, build around what they need, and help them grow.

Distribution built for partners, now with even more behind it.

𝗢𝗻𝗲 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸 𝘁𝗼 𝗚𝗼𝘃𝗪𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲

Cybersecurity is entering a new era.

The next wave of cyber risk won't be driven solely by human users. It will come from AI systems, AI agents, and automated workflows that require access to vast amounts of organisational data.

As organisations race to accelerate AI adoption, three priorities are becoming increasingly connected:
• Identity security
• Data governance
• AI security

That's why we're excited to be part of GovWare 2026 next week.

Join Crayon, a SoftwareOne Company, together with Quest Software and Varonis, at 𝗕𝗼𝗼𝘁𝗵 𝗞𝟯𝟴 to explore how organisations can strengthen cyber resilience while enabling innovation.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗮 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗯𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆?

For us, the answer has always gone well beyond software procurement.

That approach has earned Crayon, a SoftwareOne company, three finalist spots at the 2026 Reseller News Innovation Awards across the Distributor Creativity, Specialist, and Marketplace categories.

From building capabilities that help partners take on bigger opportunities, to bringing our Microsoft expertise directly into partner and customer conversations, to developing Cloud-iQ into a cloud commerce platform that helps partners run and grow their businesses, each recognition represents a different way we’re putting partners first.

It’s what we call Distribution Done Differently.

And as Crayon transitions to SoftwareOne, that commitment isn’t changing. We’re bringing it with us, backed by greater scale, expertise and opportunity for our partners.

We are a proud sponsor of the Reseller News Awards in Auckland on October 15 where the winners will be announced.

The countdown begins.

On 12 October, Crayon, A SoftwareOne Company, becomes SoftwareOne across APAC — the final step in a transition announced in January and rolled out market by market since our two businesses combined last year.

The same trusted relationships.
The same partner-led approach.
The same commitment to helping you grow and succeed.

Two organisations. One stronger future for the channel.

This next chapter isn't about changing how we work with you. It's about strengthening what already works — and creating even more value, together.

We’re proud of our ANZ team to have taken home the Advancing Diversity in Technology Leadership Award at the 2026 GTIA ANZ Spotlight Awards!

This win belongs to the many people who keep finding ways to make our industry more inclusive, from our Tech for Good and Crayon Catalyst work to Women in Tech, our Reconciliation Action Plan, First Nations engagement, and the community partnerships our teams continue to build.

And even more to celebrate, a huge congratulations to our Solution Sales Specialist Nathan Chau, who was Highly Commended for the Future Leader Award.

Nathan has spent more than a decade in technology while still under 35, building and sharing his expertise to help partners make sense of what’s next in cloud, data, and AI. His recognition reflects something we believe strongly at Crayon: expertise has more impact when you share it and help others grow.

Congratulations to Nathan and everyone behind this win. And thank you to GTIA and CRN Australia for a great night celebrating the people and organisations shaping our industry!

Demand in data and AI is about to surge — and blueAPACHE intends to be at the front of it.

"We anticipate a massive demand in the data and AI space, and we're making sure we're at the front of that," says Jonathon Tini, Practice Lead for Microsoft at blue APACHE

Staying ahead of that curve takes specialised expertise, and increasingly, the right partner to bring it. With SoftwareOne (and now Crayon) behind them, blueAPACHE has the scale, technical depth, and shared accountability to respond to whatever customers need next.

"SoftwareOne has proven to be a true partner to blueAPACHE, sharing the responsibility and accountability required to deliver successful outcomes for our customers."

Because in a fast-moving technology landscape, MSPs don't have to navigate change alone.

Better together. Explore how SoftwareOne backs its partners: https://ow.ly/MQ1h50ZOA12

What makes a distributor worth partnering with? For Dominic Gopal at Hypernix Sdn Bhd, it comes down to one thing: investment in people.

"Most distributors sell licences. Crayon invested in our people through upskilling programmes and hackathons that actually made us better at what we do."

That's the difference between moving product and building capability is the mindset behind "Distribution Done Differently." Rather than stopping at the transaction, the focus is on making partners genuinely stronger: sharper skills, deeper technical expertise, and the confidence to take on more for their customers.

In October, Crayon is becoming part of SoftwareOne in APAC — giving partners like Hypernix the opportunity to scale even further, with more resources, more expertise, and more ways to grow.

As Dominic puts it: "That's what 'Distribution Done Differently' looks like in practice, and it's why we're excited for the next chapter with SoftwareOne!"
