Christmas Message

It seems like only last week that we were forecasting a busy 2009 and no doubt this observation confirms that it truly was.

Within the space of a few days earlier in the year, The Online Workshop secured orders from the Ports of Auckland and the Australian Wheat Board for SmartAsset.

These activities have required a presence of our resources in New Zealand and in the wheat-growing regions of Australia for a period that would easily exceed 5 man-months in the provision of installation, training, user-acceptance and go-live assistance.
And this does not include the effort that was expended at our offices in Melbourne and Brisbane in the ongoing development process that has ensured the continued evolvement of SmartAsset.

Additionally, the ACT Emergency Services Agency is poised to roll-out the hybrid FMMS/SmartAsset solution that sees the traditional Openroad Clients connecting to a SQL Server database that is also home to the SmartAsset Browser Deployment for requisitioning materials and raising job requests and the Mobile Deployment Capability that involves the use of PDAs for executing jobs in the field and for stock replenishment and stock take functions in central and satellite warehouses.

Despite all of this, Geoff managed to reduce his working hours in order to smell the roses, Keegan toured Europe for a couple of months, Anna wowed her teachers with an outstanding academic performance at university and Seya had a baby!

As per another article in this newsletter, Port of Napier have just implemented SmartAsset and we have commitments from two existing FMMS customer to migrate to SmartAsset during 2010.

So let’s all take a breath to enjoy the forthcoming festive season!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year,
