The same trade, more tools

<P>The current catch-cry seems to be about <EM>doing more with less</EM>. We have been extending the tools in our toolbox to help do just that. Same trade, more tools.</P>

Our Rapid Results and HealthCheck initiatives have been very successful. So much so that our initial Rapid Results for CRM offering has been joined by Rapid Results for SharePoint, Rapid Results for iGovt Logon service and Rapid Results for Enterprise Search. These offerings provide certainty over price and deliverables and allow you to take the fi rst steps without having to bet the farm. Just what you need to keep moving ahead in these uncertain times.

We have been working on some fantastic projects across all of our practices. We have a number of signifi cant Dynamics AX projects underway and some exciting Dynamics CRM projects. We have recently completed a new website for New Zealand Trade and Enterprise using Microsoft SharePoint and have another signifi cant website nearing completion along with some great intranets being delivered using SharePoint. We have extended our experience in Microsoft Silverlight by delivering – in a very short timeframe – a website for Microsoft’s up-and-coming Office 2010.

The www.office2010themovie.com website was developed entirely in Silverlight in less than three weeks and displays our talents fairly and squarely on the global stage.

As we continue to extend our capabilities to ensure that we are able to offer our clients a range of services across the Microsoft “Stack,” we are very keen to help our clients exploit the full potential of Unifi ed Communications, not just as a stand-alone concept but as a truly embedded business solution. We are pleased to have David Porta join us as our Service Line Leader for Unifi ed Communications to provide us with a strong platform of experience for us to build upon. Our goal is to extend our clients’ investment in the Microsoft Platform and Unified Communications through application integration and innovative solutions. Watch this space.

In July, we welcomed Richard Westlake to our Board of Directors. Richard brings with him a wealth of experience in corporate governance and will greatly assist Intergen in becoming world class, not just in our solution delivery, but also as a company. We have a huge number of opportunities in front of us and having Richard on board will help ensure we follow the best opportunities and take maximum advantage of them. The year is more than halfway through and there is an awful lot to do before it’s over. We have some exciting things happening and look forward to sharing more with you and helping you to achieve your goals over the coming months.
