Established in 2007 in Melbourne, Australia ICT 4 YOU had its roots in a 1994 start-up called SINERGIA PC Founded by Jorge Andres CARDENAS MACHADO in Bogota Colombia. From 1994 to 2007; SINERGIA PC commercialized computer hardware for "End -Users". By 1998 the company moved to the Small and Medium Businesses market.
