OUR STORY
When Convergecom was established in 2008, in the family home of Austin Payne, it had just one employee and one client. Today, it has eight staff and has worked with hundreds of small and medium businesses, in many different industries, throughout Australia. But one thing has never changed – Convergecom has always provided simple solutions to complex communications problems. And we’ve got the testimonials to prove it.
OUR TEAM
Again and again, we get two pieces of feedback from our valued clients: we really care and we really know our stuff.
Thank you. That means a lot to us. So who are the Convergecom team?
AUSTIN PAYNE
Director
During his quarter-century in the telecommunications industry, Austin has learned an important lesson: it doesn’t take any longer to do a job right the first time. Austin brings this mindset to all his customer interactions.
“I like to listen to what a customer’s pain points are, and show them how they can use the phone system they have to not only resolve these pain points but also work more efficiently,” he says.
Austin loves going to work, because Convergecom has such a positive culture and his colleagues are so supportive. “I consider most of them my best friend, and the support I get both at work and outside of it is something I have never had before,” he says.
Austin once represented Australia in touch football… but that doesn’t mean he’s the most talented athlete in his household. “Something I am more proud of was as a family we had four out of five of us win a national championship in the same year each in a sport we love!”

RACHEL PAYNE
Financial Controller & HR Manager
Rachel, as a co-owner, has been officially with Convergecom since 2010. While most of her colleagues live and breathe phone systems, Rachel can’t get enough of compliance, accounts and HR.
“My job is to motivate and manage my team,” she says. “I am constantly looking for ways to improve our delivery and the customer experience.”
Working with her team is the very thing Rachel most loves about her job. She has a very open, transparent leadership style, because she’s found that’s the best way to create a harmonious, high-performing team.
A fun fact about Rachel is that she’s an eight-time national champion in ‘drill dance’, a sport most people have never heard of. Rachel brings this same mindset to her role. She always strives to be her best, and wants her colleagues to do the same. That said, she also wants everyone to enjoy their work, because a happy team is a motivated team.

MARTIN LOWRY
Senior Technician
Martin is so smart that he almost joined MENSA. Luckily, we snapped him up instead. Martin began his career journey in telecommunications at 16 years old (as an apprentice), and has worked with names you might know, like LG and IP Office.
“What I love most about technology is how flexible it can be,” he says. “When I speak to a customer, I enjoy listening to their concerns, and advising them on the best solution to solve their problem.”
Having travelled from the United Kingdom to join our South Australian team, Martin really loves coming to work each day because, as he says “the Convergecom family makes him feel at home.”
JACOB MYATT
Technician
Jacob loves his phones – but, on the weekend, he might be out of reception. That’s because he likes to head outdoors, to go bushwalking, camping, mountain biking and four-wheel driving.
Jacob has been in the telecommunications industry for six years. During that time, he’s acquired a lot of knowledge about Avaya phone systems, customer service and troubleshooting.
“What I love most about phone systems is they allow you to communicate with anyone, anywhere,” he says. “My job is to help the customer fall in love with their phone system – and the way I do that is to make sure they’re fully informed and trained about all the system’s features.”
The thing Jacob enjoys most about working for Convergecom is its family atmosphere and positive culture… and telling everyone about his latest adventure.
PHIL HILL
Technician
Phil has got so much telecommunications experience, he actually joined the industry last century. The thing he most loves about technology is how it enhances the human experience.
“I love that phone systems allow people to connect with each other,” he says. “I love making people’s lives easier – I listen to customer requirements and show how they can use their phone system features to improve communication.”
Why does Phil enjoy working at Convergecom? “Even though we all have different skill sets, we work together as a team to provide a professional experience in all of our interactions,” he says.
NATHAN JANSZ
Technician
Nathan is one of those people who loves his job so much, he kind of does it for free after hours. In his spare time, Nathan loves to build, tinker and repair. He built his own computer from individual parts, put together a keyboard and customised his console controllers.
Nathan started in the industry as an apprentice and has since taken part in countless installations and tech rollouts. During that time, he’s fallen in love with phone systems, and the creative ways you can program them to achieve different outcomes.
“I always encourage customers to add new features to their system when I feel it might benefit them, and I always try to explain how things work so they can get the most out of their system,” he says.
LILLY PAYNE
Admin Assistant
Lilly is young and fun, but she’s also very mature and takes her work seriously. The thing Lilly most enjoys about her job is interacting with her colleagues and learning about new technologies. Lilly works in admin, rather than in a tech role, so, for her, a phone is just a device for chatting with her friends or booking an appointment.
When Lilly’s not working, she loves reading books, watching anime and playing sport. She’s a national champion in drill dance, and plays rugby league and rugby union with a local club.
JOANNE RYAN
Delivery Manager
Joanne has seen it all – she joined the telecommunications industry way back in 1993 and has worked in a wide variety of roles. Joanne prides herself on her customer service.
“I like getting a frustrated client who is really unhappy with their current system or provider and turning them around to loving their telephone system by fixing whatever issues they’re experiencing,” she says.
Joanne manages Convergecom’s technicians – a responsibility she takes very seriously. Joanne works closely with the techs to make sure they’re fully trained, and across all the latest products and processes. Joanne loves the fact that even though Convergecom works with big clients all over Australia, it’s still a family-owned business with values to match.
