Creating a platform for growth

As our financial year comes to a close we look forward to a more positive outlook, with the Global Financial Crisis and ensuing recession, hopefully, behind us.

Last year, whilst it provided its challenges, we worked especially hard to ensure we delivered value and we enjoyed great support from many of ourlong-term clients. It was a good year to tighten up our processes and recruit some great quality people. We believe that we are well positioned to take advantage of the new opportunities that we see on the horizon and are very enthusiastic about the year ahead.

We have been investing a lot in developing skills and experience with Microsoft’s new 2010 products. We are lucky enough to have to be working with clients implementing pre-release versions of SharePoint 2010 via the Technology Adopter Programme (TAP) and have been working alongside the Microsoft Product team with Dynamics CRM 5 and Dynamics AX 6. Chris Auld continues to be in demand internationally for his expertise in Windows Azure and we are looking forward to introducing EPiServer 6 to our clients. We expect there to be strong demand for these services this year.

We have made significant progress in developing Managed Services offering over the past few years. We rhave significantly expanded the range and quality of services we offer, and recently appointed Nigel Blair as General Manager, Managed Services. Nigel has a wealth of experience in the New Zealand strong customer focus. Under his leadership we plan to build our Managed Services to a significant business than not only underpins the applications we deliver to our clients but that will also offer a comprehensive managed service covering all aspects of our clients’ IT operations.

True to our 10-year history, we remain focused on the Microsoft platform. The ever-expanding ecosystem around this platform provides us with a range of solutions that is second to none. By combining Microsoft products with third party ISV products and our services we are able to very efficiently provide solutions that previously would have been out of reach of many New Zealand organisations.

While Intergen first went West to Perth in October 2007, we're trebling our head count and opening a new office. Craig Keenan and Nik Johnson will join Perth incumbent, Ben Bishop, for the latest Intergen adventure (and some warmer weather).

The Perth office will offer Intergen's full suite of services, based exclusively on Microsoft technology, including portals, content and collaboration solutions, Microsoft Dynamics financial and relationship management and custom software development.

Intergen is continuously changing, evolving and improving. It is one of the reasons that we enjoy going to work each day. We look forward to sharing our experience with you over the coming year to help you enhance your business and realise your goals.
