Evan Harridge

Managing Director

Evan’s passion for innovation is about much more than just technology. He has the heart of an entrepreneur, with the proven business acumen of having delivered hundreds of corporate online solutions over the past 10 years, energetically finding ways to “join the dots’ between what a business needs and what online technology can deliver. In 1998, he created Immersive, a company dedicated to delivering uncommon business results through making business work better online.

In 2001, Evan and the team won a major international contract to deliver a mobile technology solution for the Staples Center, where the Lakers play basketball in the US. Evan has since worked with hundreds of major brands, and set up client relationships and links with significant players in the international IT industry such as OpenText, FAST Enterprise Search and Microsoft.

Evan has more than a decade of experience with online technology, including everything from billing applications, to process mapping and innovation, to enterprise integration. While attending a postgraduate research program at RMIT’s Interactive Information Institute, he worked with Silicon Graphics and realtime 3D technology. He believes that it is only by gaining a deeper understanding of what business really tick ‘behind the user interface’ that you can really deliver lasting value to clients through IT projects, and he is dedicated to helping them achieve the same success that he wants for his own business.
