Latest news and updates

We had a fantastic time celebrating our 30th anniversary a few weeks ago and enjoyed a fun, friendly (and slightly competitive) evening of 90s-themed quizzing across all our offices.

July also marked Red Nose Day for Cure Kids, and it was great to host Rod, a Cure Kids representative, at our company update. Rod's presentation reminded us about Cure Kids' essential work and the impact we can make as an organisation. We've enjoyed various fundraising activities this year and are looking forward to our upcoming adventure races, which are our key fundraising events for the year.

We recently launched an internal GenAI competition, inviting our team to share how they're integrating GenAI technology into their daily work. This initiative has revealed some really fascinating use cases and allowed us to explore some of these with our customers.

And we welcomed our recent interns from the Student360 programme to learn more about cyber security and UI/UX, as well as getting to know more about the IT industry in general.

Highlights in this edition

I'm pleased to share our latest Annual Report, which highlights our performance, practice achievements and key customer projects from last year.

And we welcome our newest Te Ao Māori scholarship recipient, Jess Wilson.

Our latest podcast episode featured Ron Chan from Nova Security. Ron, a prolific bug bounty hunter, was featured in Forbes as one of the elite few to surpass $1 million in rewards from ethical hacking programs. It's a conversation you won't want to miss!

Congratulations to our Microsoft MVPs - Soheil, Tharanga and Sudeep - who have once again been recognised for their outstanding knowledge in specific Microsoft technology areas.

And good news - our visitor management system, EVA Check-in, celebrated another win with the latest Info-Tech software reviews.

Lastly, you can explore our new Microsoft Fabric package, which enables your organisation to quickly build a minimum viable product to prove the value of Fabric across your organisation before committing to a full rollout.

Regards

Rob Lee, CEO
