In January 2026, Praemium acquired Technotia Laboratories, a deliberate step to further strengthen the foundations of the platform advisers rely on. It builds on the capability already in place, adding depth of expertise and proven problem solving capability to support a platform that is resilient, efficient, and well positioned for the rapid advancement of technology including machine learning and AI.
Strengthening the foundation: stability and reliability first
As advice businesses scale and portfolios become more complex, platform reliability is non‑negotiable. Praemium has continued to invest in structural stability and resilience, and the integration of Technotia strengthens this focus by embedding additional engineering depth within the team.
Much of this work happens behind the scenes, but it is critical. By reinforcing core architecture and treating reliability as a design principle, we are ensuring the platform remains dependable and capable of supporting growth without disruption. From an adviser perspective, it remains business as usual, underpinned by a platform that continues to get stronger.
Improving efficiency through automation and straight‑through processing
With strong foundations in place, the next priority is efficiency. Advice businesses need technology that removes friction and supports scale, not systems that add operational complexity.
Praemium’s strategy continues to centre on increasing automation and straight‑through processing across core workflows, allowing more routine activity to be handled by the platform by default. This reduces manual intervention, shortens turnaround times and improves consistency as businesses grow.
The addition of Technotia’s specialist expertise enhances our ability to embed these efficiencies in a practical, disciplined way, ensuring improvements strengthen existing workflows.
Progress across superannuation capability
Our initial work with Technotia has focused on enhancing superannuation capability, with a clear emphasis on reducing administrative pain points and improving usability for advisers and their clients. User acceptance testing is progressing well, and while regulatory approvals remain part of the process, client input is already shaping how this capability evolves. This work reflects the same disciplined approach now being applied across the platform, strengthening the foundations first, then extending capability in ways that deliver practical value for advice businesses.
Adviser insight guiding improvements
Our focus is on ensuring changes are intuitive and deliver a clearly improved experience for advisers and their clients. While much of this work is technical, adviser input continues to shape priorities. Insights from client focus groups and our recent client engagement survey are guiding how core functionality is refined and where development effort is directed, ensuring enhancements reflect the realities of running an advice business.
This approach helps ensure improvements feel natural within existing workflows and enhance the overall experience for both advisers and their clients.
Looking ahead
We are confident that the acquisition of Technotia further strengthens Praemium’s position as a leading platform for advisers, reinforcing a strong foundation while accelerating innovation and the delivery of new functionality that supports more efficient, scalable advice businesses.
We look forward to sharing more of this progress in the coming months and demonstrating how these investments translate into tangible benefits for your business.
