Super Groups are a heavy machinery company that has been in operation since 1988 and specializes in rentals, as well as new and used sales. For the last 20 years or so, the company has been known as the Victorian Kubota Construction dealer and they have many satisfied customers under their belt. Some of the heavy machinery that Super Groups deals with includes: mini excavators, auger drive units, hydraulic hammers, articulated wheel loaders, plant trailers and alloy loading ramps. The team also maintains a network of service vans and a large inventory of spare parts, allowing them to support most machines. After coming to the realization that their website was a little on the old and out of date side, the Super Groups team decided to contact web design company Zeemo in their search for a new look. Because they have added so many pieces of heavy machinery to their repertoire over the years, it was becoming increasingly important for the website to make these machines easy to find. The Super Groups team also realized that, if they wanted to compete with the flashy sites of their competitors, something needed to change and they needed to update their look before it was too late. The creative web design team at Zeemo are eager to begin work on the new look Super Groups website and have many great ideas about how their wide range of products can be presented. Because the company are still known as the Victorian dealer of Kubota products, it is likely that they will stick with orange (the colour of Kubota) as their accent colour. The website’s current colour scheme of black, white, grey and orange actually works quite well together, so the plan at the moment is to just use them a little better. The product catalogue for rental, used and brand new products will also undergo a complete overhaul. Zeemo is a web design company that has been in operation since 2002 and specializes in the provision of a range of web-based services. They have worked with a number of clients across Australia and are actually the preferred design company for AXA, a renowned financial planner. Some of the services that the Zeemo team is able to provide include: graphic design, mobile web design, search engine optimisation (SEO), content writing, photography and mobile application development. The team is made up of a number of experienced professionals who are committed to providing a unique and successful experience.

Me again “BiG Day In WA” Student Conference - Oversubscribed and Inspiring Careers in ICT!! Innovative businesses urged to join ACS Foundation promotion of the real stories on the future of technology and ICT career opportunities Perth, 15 May 2013: The ACS Foundation’s Big Day In event, held on Friday in the Perth Town Hall to a capacity audience, drew together the real world experiences of technology professionals to inspire young people to explore careers in ICT. This response proves the demand for not only career preparation events aimed at high school students, their teachers and university ICT undergraduates, but the innovative model developed by the Foundation. More than 400 people attended the event!! This will take the number of students, teachers and careers advisors who will be attending four similar events being held nationally by the Foundation in 2013 to more than 1,300. The differentiator for this low cost, high quality event with presentations by key industry players, was that the format was designed by students, for students. From ideas generated by student focus groups, the topic list grew to explore the diversity of opportunities within the Australian ICT sector and cover the realities from a workplace perspective. The ACS Foundation is looking to expand the BiG Day In concept, in partnership with educational institutions and the organisations that represent the spectrum of ICT career paths: technology providers as well as the medium and large corporations with IT infrastructure that is driving their successful operations. The demand for these events can be judged by the pilot event held in 2012 which had a target of 130 attendees and was oversubscribed at 220. The Perth event held on Friday 10 May attracted 17 schools including 350 students, 30 teachers, and tertiary level students. The City of Joondalup, as an example, is developing as a technology hub and its schools’ ICT development officers are now active participants in the WA BiG Day In events. Jim Ellis OAM, Chair of the WA Chapter of the ACS Foundation said: “Is there a need for ‘from the coal face’ stories of where technology is taking us and the exciting career opportunities for Australia’s up and coming ICT professionals? Resoundingly, yes there is! “We are encouraging organisations across Western Australia to join the ACS Foundation’s efforts to get the message out there. We have developed a highly successful formula for events that are immediately relevant and inspiring to potential members of the ICT industry.” Executives and new recruits, as representatives from the broader ICT sector, are needed to present on topics ranging from the future of technology; the professional services environment; examples of innovative careers and projects in specific industries; and how to best prepare for entry into the workforce. John Debrincat, Chair of the ACS Foundation, said: “If we can create and capture high school student enthusiasm as they are making their study selections, then we have a chance to grow the much needed number of ICT graduates coming through our tertiary institutions. “With industry contribution, we can attract talent into our sector and academia who are better able to produce the work ready graduates needed by the ICT marketplace. The BiG Day In events are an excellent way for students, teachers and career advisors to become involved in the work of the ACS Foundation,” he said. Photos of the BiG Day In WA event can be found on the ACS Foundation facebook page.

2013-05-12T22:51:00Z growing-number-of-businesses-owned-and-operated-by-women

12 March 2013 Growing number of businesses owned and operated by women New Zealand currently has more women than ever in business and they are having a significant impact on the economy — earning more and employing more staff. According to the latest MYOB Business Monitor, a survey of over 1,000+ SMEs, 41% of small and medium businesses in New Zealand are owned and operated by women. MYOB national manager, enterprise division, Allison Fairkettle, says although females are still outnumbered by men in terms of business ownership, the increase of women in business is incredibly positive. “Three years ago, only 37% of SMEs were owned by women, so it’s great to see that a growing number of women are running their own businesses. “Not only are they paving the way for more females to do the same but they are also having a positive impact on the wider economy,” says Mrs Fairkettle. The Business Monitor highlighted that on average, females employ more staff than males — 33% of females have one or more employees, while only 29% of males do the same. “This is fantastic news for local job seekers,” says Mrs Fairkettle. “Although numbers have been rising recently, New Zealand’s current job market can benefit from more women in business who, according to our survey, are more likely to employ staff.” Examining where women choose to run their businesses, the Business Monitor revealed that rural New Zealand has a strong appeal for women, with 25% of females in business working in rural areas compared to only 19% of male business operators. Due to the rebuild, Christchurch has become the engine room of the country’s economy and is the main centre with the smallest gender gap for SME operators. “41% of Christchurch SMEs are owned and operated by females, compared to 39% in Auckland and 37% in Wellington. “Last year, the Business Monitor revealed that businesswomen in Christchurch were disproportionately affected by the earthquakes reporting a higher revenue loss than males and lower levels of optimism. “Despite the challenges of the earthquakes, its great to see so many women in Christchurch still owning, running and starting new businesses,” says Mrs Fairkettle. Some regional areas show even stronger representation of women in business, with 57% of businesses in the Waikato owned by women, 51% in Northland, and 50% in the Bay of Plenty. In Manawatu-Wanganui, however, just 19% of SMEs are owned by women. In addition to a growing representation of women among business owners, the Business Monitor highlighted that women are now earning just as much, if not more, than men in business. A higher number of women are reporting higher revenue gains in the Business Monitor (33%) than men (31%), while fewer are reporting losses (25% of women in business compared to 29% of men). “The Monitor also indicates that a higher percentage of businesses operated by females earn more than $200,000 a year,” says Mrs Fairkettle. “This is despite the fact that on average female business owners work 5.5 hours a week less than males – an indication perhaps that women are finding ways to work smarter in their business. “Overall, it’s inspiring to see that more women are establishing their own highly successful businesses and that they are having a positive impact on the local economy by doing so.” -ends- For further information or to arrange an interview please contact:Gerard Blank Elaine KollerThe Agency Communications Limited MYOBTel: 03 341 5841 Tel: 09 925 3514Mob: 0275 243 629 Mob: 029 777 0256Email: gerard@theagencynz.co.nz Email: elaine.koller@myob.com About the MYOB Business MonitorThe MYOB Business Monitor is a national survey of 1,000+ New Zealand small and medium business owners and managers, from sole traders to mid-sized companies, representing the major industry sectors.

2013-05-07T03:49:09Z rimtech-software-rebrands-to-foresiight-following-mcommerce-development

Brisbane, Australia, 7 May 2013 – Rimtech Software, a leading provider of retail software, today announced it has rebranded to ‘Foresiight’ to better reflect its broader offering and strategic direction, as a result of its move into the development of ground-breaking mCommerce technology, Sniip. “Foresiight is a software development company focused on the needs of Australia’s ever-changing retail sector,” said Manny Gill, CEO, Foresiight. “We have always been focused on developing state-of-the-art solutions that truly improve business process management, and aim to create a unique customer experience, utilising all of the advances in technology as they become available. “Our evolution as a business over more than 20 years has culminated in our development of the Sniip technology, as our traditional bricks and mortar retail clients are now embracing an omni-channel strategy. “Sniip is the first true ‘clicks and mortar’ experience – where traditional mediums meet the online world, creating ‘reach’ both in-store and out-of-store.” The most recent advancement in technology complements Foresiight’s existing retail-specific software, and follows the consumer trend that 90 percent of mobile phone users are forecast to own a smartphone as their primary device by 2015. “We have recognised the need to meet the rapidly growing consumer appetite for using mobile devices to do almost everything – from basic web browsing and social media to retail shopping and paying bills,” said Mr Gill. “We have developed this technology so that retailers can now engage their customers anywhere, anytime through their mobile device.” Development of the Sniip mobile application is in its final stages and is on schedule to be launched in August. “Foresiight, along with the names of its core product line, is spelled with two ‘i’s. This is not a mistake – the ‘i’s represent the theme that runs through our entire business – information innovation. We are not just committed to the pursuit of developing robust, fit-for-purpose business software, but to the innovation needed to make the application of information technology truly relevant and adaptive to the modern world,” explained Mr Gill. Foresiight has three separate parts to its business – mCommerce, general retail solutions and business software for pharmacy.

2013-05-03T05:52:47Z zeemo-to-create-new-website-for-machinesafe

MachineSafe are a training company that provides expert solutions for machine and automation safety. Their courses provide participants with the information they need to comprehend and apply the safety standards set out by the local government, as well as outlining the acts and regulations that businesses must comply to. Their courses are on offer all around Australia and New Zealand, from capital cities (including Perth, Adelaide, Auckland, Sydney and Melbourne) to more rural areas (including Shepparton and Launceston). Those who wish to sign up for a course may do so through the website.  After coming to the conclusion that their current website was severely lacking in comprehensiveness and functionality, the MachineSafe team decided to contact web design company Zeemo in their hunt for a solution. Ensuing discussions revealed that the current website was very basic and amateur in appearance and that there were plenty of ways that it could be improved. Whilst MachineSafe were committed to sticking with their existing logo, they gave the Zeemo team free reign to modernise it slightly. A new and improved look is really what was needed to improve this website.  The creative team at Zeemo are currently hard at work putting together the new design for the MachineSafe website. The yellow and white colour scheme has been swapped for a much more sophisticated dark grey, yellow and off-white one, which makes the courses offered by the team the focal point. The logo has undergone a slight revamp – whilst it still features the same shape, the font has received a bit of an update and the red has been swapped for white. The new design also makes it easier than ever for potential participants to find and enrol in courses that they are interested in.  Zeemo are a website design company that are committed to providing the best web solutions to their clients. They are located in the Melbourne suburb of Clayton but have worked with clients located all over Australia and even overseas. Their online solutions also extend to a number of additional services, including: search engine optimisation, graphic design, web development, content writing, mobile web design, online marketing and social networking.

Sydney, 2 May 2013 — Australian organisations are forecast to spend almost A$70 million on business process management suites (BPMS) in 2013, an increase of 10.4 percent over 2012, according to Gartner. Worldwide spending on BPMS is expected to reach US$2.8 billion, up 9.5 percent compared to 2012. Speaking ahead of the keynote presentation at the Gartner Business Process Management Summit in Sydney this month, Gartner vice president and distinguished analyst Janelle Hill said: “Significant changes in the BPMS marketplace over the last two years have altered the market landscape, especially growing interest in open-source BPM-enabling technologies, market consolidation driven by several acquisitions and the advent of next-generation intelligent BPMSs (iBPMSs). The market is now mainstream and experiencing continued, healthy growth. Total revenue in the global BPMS software market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 10 percent over the next five years, according to Gartner analysts. Although the BPMS mainstream market continues to grow, it is maturing and changing. Gartner market research has shown that the market grew at double-digit annual percentage rates for every year between 2006 and 2010 before slowing to a single-digit rate of 9.7% in 2011. This slightly slower growth can be attributed to economic conditions and a maturing market, as well as to consolidation driven by recent acquisitions. Several significant changes have occurred during the past two years. Once a leader, Adobe made a major step away from the market in late 2011 when it announced that it would ramp down its investment in its LiveCycle BPMS and restrict its focus to the public sector and financial services. Progress Software made a similar shift in 2012 with its sale of Savvion, a Leader in Gartner's 2010 BPMS Magic Quadrant. Other significant changes include several acquisitions of BPMS vendors or products. “As public companies in a market full of privately held companies, these exits have raised red flags for customers and prospects, and will impact overall market revenue growth,” said Ms. Hill. “Some of this installed base may be replaced in the two years following these vendors' announcements. Despite consolidation pressures; however, we also continue to see many new BPMS market entrants.” Another significant trend has been the growing interest in open-source, BPM-enabling technologies. BonitaSoft, for example, was founded just three years ago and has already reached more than 1.5 million downloads of its open-source BPMS. Red Hat also acquired Barcelona-based Polymita, highlighting its recent acceleration of its move into the open-source BPMS market with technology that compliments jBPM. In addition, an open-source ECM vendor Alfresco, has an open-source workflow engine project called Activiti.org. Gartner has seen an increase in BPM client inquiries about these market developments. The advent of the next generation of BPMSs (iBPMSs) has also affected the market. An iBPMS expands traditional BPMS capabilities by adding new functionality, such as near-real-time process intelligence, advanced and embedded analytics, complex-event processing (CEP), support for social collaboration and support for mobility. A number of vendors have updated their products to become iBPMSs. “Business managers and knowledge workers are being asked to make faster and better decisions in an ever-changing business context; however, they cannot do so without improved visibility into their operations and environments,” said Ms. Hill. “To meet this challenge, leading organisations are seeking to make their business operations more intelligent by integrating analytics into their processes and the applications that enable them. This trend towards intelligent business operations represents a significant shift in BPM tool capabilities and is being adopted rapidly.” Additional information is available in the report "Market Update: Match BPMS Vendors to Your Usage Scenarios."

2013-04-29T01:13:30Z victorian-economy-receives-more-than-1-billion-every-year-from-live-music

Perth, WA, April 23, 2013 - Music Victoria, the state’s music body, recently conducted the Victorian Live Music Census, in partnership with NMIT and the City of Melbourne. In addition, over 100 student volunteers participated in gathering data for the census. The census was the largest of its kind ever conducted in Victoria, and Music Victoria’s CEO called it, “the most accurate snapshot of what our world-renowned industry looks like.” In the face of countless obstacles facing the Australian live music scene, such as encroaching residential development, noise complaints, and an uneven economy, the numbers from the census indicate that live music has nearly twice as many patrons now as it did during the previous generation. This is welcome news for an industry that has had a pessimistic outlook the last few years. According to the census, the average Saturday night sees 97,000 people attending live music shows and gigs, and spending an average of $745,000 to get in the door. Those people are then spending $3.7 million on merchandise, food, drinks, and transport. On any given Saturday night, an average of 900 musicians, 2,730 venue staff, 237 production crew, and 740 DJ’s are getting paid for their work. Projected over a year, it works out to over 62,000 gigs, with 14.4 million patrons spending $1.04 billion. This includes major concerts, Melbourne-based festivals, and small venues. Over a year’s time, 18,200 musicians, 77,391 venue staff, 6437 production staff, and 14,150 DJ’s are being paid for providing music. Dobe Newton, who managed the project, feels that these numbers prove that Melbourne is one of “the world’s greatest music cities.” Newton compares the music scene in Melbourne to cities such as New York, Tokyo, and Paris.  Patrick Donovan, CEO of Music Victoria, feels that numbers uncovered by the census are extremely important as a verification of the relevance of the live music scene in Melbourne. Donovan noted that nearly three times as many people watch live music in Melbourne as those who watch the AFL. Donovan encourages those in the area to become members of Music Victoria during their “Jump on the Bandwagon” membership drive. Danny Achurch, teacher, musician, and owner of Monster Music, feels that the study vindicates the dedication of many fellow musicians in their efforts to provide a vibrant live music scene, not only in Melbourne, but all across Australia. According to Achurch, “I am very happy to see these numbers, but I’m not surprised. Even though it seems like there have been less opportunities for live musicians this decade, in reality, the opportunities are there; you just have to look for them. At this point in time, musicians have to work hard to create their own opportunities, but it is worth it.” Achurch continued, “Look at all of the great things that have happened to Australian music in the last few months. We are seeing millions of dollars being spent on developing musicians and enabling them to play in live venues, and a lot of time and effort is being spent in growing Australian music. Now, finally, we get a great study like this one, justifying that time and effort.” Achurch concluded, “The future of Australian music has never looked better.” Monster Music provides many music lessons in most cities across Australia - violin, singing, guitar and keyboard lessons in Brisbane, Sydney, Adelaide, Melbourne, Perth and more. They specialise in getting great results while always remembering that music is supposed to be fun. To get started today, call 08 9335 8881 or visit their website: http://www.monstermusic.com.au/

2013-04-24T01:04:42Z aerator-pumps-play-important-role-for-australians

Perth, WA, April 24, 2013 - In a recent blog post, Pump Solutions Australasia explained how aerator pumps work and how important they are to our way of life in Australia. Aerator pumps are crucial to waste treatment and to aquafarming. Since fish farms and adequately processing our sewage are important parts of modern society, it can safely be said that Australia would have to make some pretty big adjustments if there were no aerator pumps available. Aerator pumps are used to provide oxygen as part of the sewage treatment process, and for water whose oxygen has been depleted, compromising its ability to support aqueous life. Their primary applications are in sewage treatment and aquafarming. Small aerator pumps are used for aquariums, and provide a miniature model of what larger aerator pumps accomplish. In sewage treatment plants, aerator pumps are used to provide oxygen for the second stage of the treatment process. In the second stage of the waste treatment process, microorganisms are used to remove organic waste material from sewage. Those microorganisms must have oxygen to live. The aerator pump provides oxygen to the microorganisms, allowing them to consume the organic waste material and thus remove it from sewage. In aquafarms, aerator pumps provide oxygen to water where oxygen has been depleted due to too much demand. A fish farm, for example, produces too many fish for the amount of oxygen that would naturally be present in the water supply. When the oxygen becomes depleted, it is then necessary to supplement the oxygen in the water, or the fish will die. Aerator pumps provide oxygen by drawing air from above the surface of the water, and releasing it at the bottom of the water, where the bubbles rise to the surface. On their way to the surface, the bubbles interact with the water, and oxygen is transferred into the water. This process is known as subsurface aeration. Pump Solutions Australasia carries a full line of Tsurumi submersible water pumps, including their line of water aerator pumps. Tsurumi, located in Kyoto, Japan, has manufactured pumps since 1924. Since their first submersible pump, produced in 1953, Tsurumi has been responsible for many innovations and advancements, and have developed an impressive resumé in the field of submersible pumps. Tsurumi now manufactures 500,000 pumps per year, with a capacity of as many as one million if the demand arises. They currently make submersible pumps than any other manufacturer in the world, and export them to every major international market. Mike Hurlbatt, owner of Pump Solutions Australasia, is proud to be Western Australia’s distributor of Tsurumi pumps: “Tsurumi is an old, respected name in submersible pumps. It is not a stretch to say that almost everybody’s way of life has been influenced, either directly or indirectly, by a Tsurumi pump. You don’t notice them, but they are the most popular option for submersible aerator pumps in waste treatment facilities and fish farms everywhere.” Hurlbatt continued, “Aerator pumps fill a vital role in treating waste and in making sure that anything produced in aquafarm has enough oxygen to live. The smaller pumps are also great for small ponds that need a little oxygen boost to keep the marine life alive.” Hurlbatt concluded, “If you need an aerator pump, large, small, or in between, we have exactly what you’re looking for.”  Pump Solutions Australasia is Western Australia’s foremost distributor of Tsurumi submersible water pumps.

2013-04-24T00:03:00Z fireeye-research-reveals-increasingly-global-nature-of-advanced-cyber-attacks

MILPITAS, Calif. – FireEye®, Inc., the leader in stopping today’s new breed of cyber attacks, today announced the release of “The Advanced Cyber Attack Landscape” report and interactive maps that provide detailed insight into the global nature of malware communication activity related to sophisticated cyber attacks. The research highlights:· The 184 nations that house communication hubs, or command and control (CnC) servers, with Asia and Eastern Europe accounting for the majority of activity. · Technology organizations are among the most frequently attacked. · The majority of Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) attacks—89 percent—are associated with tools developed and disseminated by Chinese hacker groups. “The threat landscape has evolved, as cyber threats have outpaced traditional signature-based security defenses, such as anti-virus, and permeated around the world, enabling cybercriminals to easily evade detection and establish connections inside the perimeter of major organizations,” said FireEye CEO David DeWalt. “The FireEye research puts in proper perspective the global pandemic of this new breed of advanced cyber attacks.” CnC servers are used heavily during the life cycle of an attack to maintain communication with an infected machine by way of callbacks, enabling the attacker to download and modify malware to evade detection, extract data, or expand an attack within a target organization. “The Advanced Cyber Attack Landscape” draws from blocking more than 12 million callback events from 184 countries logged by the FireEye platform across thousands of end-user appliances during 2012. The FireEye platform is deployed behind firewalls, next-generation firewalls, intrusion prevention systems (IPS), anti-virus (AV), and other security gateways, representing the last line of defense against advanced attacks that bypass traditional signature-based security infrastructure. Key findings from “The Advanced Cyber Attack Landscape” include: · Cyber attacks have become a global activity – Over the past year, callbacks were sent to 184 countries. FireEye found that CnC servers are hosted in 184 countries—a 41 percent increase when compared to the FireEye findings in 2010 with 130 countries. · Asia and Eastern Europeare attack hotspots – Looking at the average number of callbacks per company by country, the Asian nations of China, South Korea, India, Japan, and Hong Kong accounted for 24 percent of global callbacks. Not far behind, the Eastern European countries of Russia, Poland, Romania, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, and Latvia comprised 22 percent. · Technology companies are highly targeted – Technology companies experienced the highest rate of callback activity associated with the next generation of cyber attacks. Technology companies are targeted for the theft of intellectual property, sabotage, or modification of source code to support further criminal initiatives. · The majority of APT callback activities are associated with APT tools that are made in China or that originated from Chinese hacker groups. By mapping the DNA of known APT malware families against callbacks, FireEye discovered that the majority of APT callback activities—89 percent—are associated with APT tools that are made in China or that originated from Chinese hacker groups. The main tool is Gh0st RAT. To review the interactive CnC callback maps, please visit – http://www.fireeye.com/cyber-attack-landscape About FireEye, Inc. FireEye® has pioneered the next generation of threat protection to help organizations protect themselves from being compromised. Cyber attacks have become much more sophisticated and are now easily bypassing traditional signature-based defenses, such as next-generation firewalls, IPS, anti-virus, and gateways, compromising the majority of enterprise networks. The FireEye platform supplements these legacy defenses with a new model of security to protect against the new breed of cyber attacks. The unique FireEye platform provides the industry’s only cross-enterprise threat protection fabric to dynamically identify and block cyber attacks in real time. The core of the FireEye platform is a signature-less, virtualized detection engine and a cloud-based threat intelligence network, which help organizations protect their assets across all major threat vectors, including Web, email, mobile, and file-based cyber attacks.
