Partners Kaz – “The opportunity for Aspect staff to work closely with Microsoft staff and have access to their internal resources has provided a great opportunity for skills transfer. So much more can be learnt about the inner-workings of a product and the best way to implement it by tapping into the knowledge of the people who build the product” – Stephen Laheney, Consultant, Kaz Strategic Data Management - “Through the Innovation Centre, we’ve had tremendous exposure not only to several South Australian Government departments, but also to different markets outside of South Australia – including Microsoft in Redmond, with whom we’re having ongoing business discussions. The commercialisation of the products we developed for the Innovation Centre has also led to us doubling our revenues and hiring an additional 26 staff, bringing staff numbers to 45, to cope with the increased workload in the past year.” Jamie Potter, Marketing Manager, Strategic Data Management.

Partners EDS EDS’ involvement in the Centre was on the Executive Knowledge System (EKS) project within the Department of Treasury and Finance. “As the manager of the Government’s IT infrastructure EDS is always looking for new and innovative ways to add value to the client. This project has allowed us to work with Microsoft in a collaborative way to provide better Executive communication within the Department of Treasury and Finance.” Bruce Linn, Manager of EDS. OBS Melbourne based partner OBS launched an office here in Adelaide on 5 December 2002, as a result of the SharePoint Portal Server solution they developed for the Department of Treasury and Finance, through the Centre. This solution, ‘DTF Central’ has been showcased at Microsoft national events both in Sydney and Adelaide.
