09 SEP 05 | Launch of Techvendor website
|
This website was launched on September 9, 2005. The idea behind Techvendor is a simple one, promote leading IT products and services available in Australia. More specifically, organisations with a business need may struggle to find available solutions - Techvendor aims to provide information that helps. In addition, vendors of particular solutions may struggle to find like minded organisations they can partner with to deliver combined solutions - Techvendor aims to build a network that facilitates integration of product deliverables to achieve even greater outcomes.
The website has just been launched and will take some time to reach a critical mass. Please support this website by either trying one of our vendors, or if you are a vendor yourself, get in touch and include your product or service here.

22 JUL 05 | Techvendor idea conceived
|
A vote of thanks must go to the Australian Information Industry Association (AIIA) who on July 22, 2005 launched their inaugural Developing Business Skills for ICT Entrepreneurs Program. The leaders of twenty-four small but successful Australian IT companies converged at Macquarie Graduate School of Management to commence the first of four residential weekends, spread over 12-months, aimed at building ICT business skills and moving these individual businesses and ICT in Australian forward.
|
In addition to all of the other great outcomes of this program, two limiting factors stood out for ICT businesses in Australia:
|
| • | Great Australian ICT solutions needed to be better promoted. |
|
| • | Networking at an ICT company management level that enabled the combination of solutions to deliver integrated outcomes for customers was poor. |
|
|
The Techvendor website was concieved to address both of these issues, promoting Australia ICT solutions and encouraging cross-company networking to facilitate joint deployments.
