Escape IT was founded on the premise that small to medium-sized companies needed an IT support company that was flexible and offered customized programs & support that meet the unique needs of their business. In 2011 Sotek Information Systems & Escape IT merged and continue to trade under the "Escape IT" banner. Escape IT was originally founded in 2003 by Tony Mcloughlin and Sotek Information Systems was founded in 2002 by Scott Schulze. Both of these companies originally started as "boutique" style, Adelaide based, IT service companies and have continued to grow year in year out whilst continuing to provide that same quality of service and support.
