Communications Evolution"
The company was founded in Hong Kong in 1996; in the earliest years of the World Wide Web.
The Digital Tsunami name refers to the massive wave created by ocean-floor tectonic or volcanic activity; as a metaphor for the immensely powerful new wave of digital technology which has transformed the corporate and social landscape within a single generation.

The events of late 2004 reinforce the metaphor, both by the impact of the tsunami and the application of the Internet as a mass medium to confirm information and to alert coastal populations of future events.
In global social and economic terms, the advances in information technology and the impact of the World Wide Web since its inception in 1994 has been even more substantial.
With a multi-lingual staff, and located in the heart of Asia, it was natural that Digital Tsunami developed a robust capacity for designing sites in double-byte (Chinese, Japanese, Cyrillic, Thai, etc.) character sets.
The company rapidly built a portfolio of international clients including Internet start-ups and globally recognised brands. The client base includes corporations based in Hong Kong, London, New York, Sydney and Tokyo.
The establishment of the Sydney operations of the group occurred when the company founder returned to Australia after a decade in Asia. The founder's history prior to Digital Tsunami included Fortran and COBOL programming an ICL 1901 mainframe computer in the late sixties!
In recent years, Digital Tsunami has focused on applications of database-driven and e.commerce sites. The company has developed DeployControl™, a proprietary CMS (Content Management System) which can be integrated into each new online presence.
To ensure rapid access and high-level support for clients, Digital Tsunami operated dedicated web and mail servers in the USA from 1996, and in Australia from 2000, progressively upgrading hardware and software on these servers. Co-location or 'mirroring' of servers in Australia and China has been implemented for extremely high-volume, nationally localised websites. Tech Support is provided online and via telephone for clients around the globe.
