ICSGlobal Limited began in 1990 as Infrastructure Control Services (ICS), a boutique engineering and IT consultancy. Its founder, Tim Murray, had an engineering construction background and saw an opportunity for applying engineering and project management disciplines in the information technology arena.

Over the next five years, ICS developed a reputation for getting virtually any IT job done on time and on budget through a proprietary Project Management methodology called SMARTpro®.

ICS grew rapidly during the nineties to become ICS Group, which had sales in 1998-1999 of around $20 million, and over 200 people completing projects in 33 countries out of offices in London, Hong Kong, Singapore and most Australian capital cities.

ICS Group listed on the Australian Stock Exchange as ICSGlobal Limited in 1999 [ASX: ICS]. Since then, the company has used proceeds from the float and applied its core consulting experience to reposition its core business as the ownership and operation of THELMA (Transactional Health Exchange Linking Multiple Applications).

Since 2000, ICSGlobal's core business has been the unique "any-to-any" health industry clearing house technology THELMA (Transactional Health Exchange Linking Multiple Applications), which ICSGlobal built, owns and operates. THELMA creates interoperability between the broad range of new and legacy software systems that typically exist in health systems. This enables health industry business partners in any country to conduct financial, clinical and administrative transactions electronically over the Internet.

THELMA went live in Australia in 2001, and the customer base has grown steadily, now standing at over 60% of private health insurers and over 35% of private hospitals. THELMA also processes a range of bulk bill claims into the national Medicare system.

THELMA went live in the UK in July 2005 and has been certified to operate in the US following successful completion of a Proof of Concept in November 2005.
