EDS Origins

EDS was founded by Graham and Cynthia Harper in 1991 in Queensland. Graham and Cynthia started EDS following Graham's success as CEO of Elpro Electronics in which he started in the early 80's. Elpro is now one of the worlds largest SCADA supplier. The establishment of EDS was carried out in conjunction with the release of EDS flagship product Pump Station Manager (PSM). 

1991, the beginning of Environmental Data Services.  Graham Harper enjoyed the challenge of creating a business, from Elite Electronics in the early 70's to Elpro Technology all leading to Environmental Data Services.

Environmental Data Services beginnings fed the need to expand and push the boundaries of technology, for Graham.  From the designing and manufacturing of batching plants which gave both Graham and Cynthia an opportunity to travel.

Graham went on to develop EDS Data Logger for the Bureau of meteorology, which are still used today. Graham then continued into the flow side of the business, with the then Marsh McBirney, now known as HACH, product range. 

His determination drove Environmental Data Services to new boundaries including The Amberley Fire Training Facility which EDS, under the leadership of Graham built in 2001/2002.  

To this day Environmental Data Services continues to service and monitor the Australian Defence Facility under a contract which has been in place since 2003.

Graham sadly passed in 2005. Today with unwavering stewardship of Cynthia and the support and hard work of all of the team, Environmental Data Services continues to thrive. Since 2005 EDS has grown to be Australia’s largest supplier of equipment for the water and waste water industry. This has seen continued success, being awarded of the largest sewer monitoring project in Australia in recent years. 

EDS continues to strive to deliver the level of service and professionalism that was part of Grahams founding ethos.
