Cymax finalist in $250.000 Greentree software contest

Cymax is in the running for a $250,000 business software makeover and its chances will be boosted if it can drum up enough votes for itself as part of Greentree International’s Game On competition.

Cymax of Cooper Plains, Queensland is one of 10 Australian finalists and public votes will help decide if the company will win the valuable Greentree business software, implementation support and Cloud hosting services.

Greentree CEO Peter Dickinson said the Game On competition is unusual in that finalists were chosen not simply for being the “best business” but rather for having great potential hindered by acute business systems “pain points” that could be healed by applying Greentree software.

Dickinson said choosing the finalists from the dozens of entries was not easy for him and fellow judges. “The calibre of the entries was impressive and the finalists are each special in their own way.

“While their work is diverse, they share common issues of running out-dated, non-integrated systems. They all want better visibility of their performance, and are confident they can grow stronger with better computing power.”

The other nine Australian finalists are:

Asthma Foundation

Caesars

Central Diesel

GMW Group

Hydro International

Kimberly Accommodation

Mecrus Group

Newcastle Airport

Southern Cross Oil

The competition is now in the hands of the judges, and the public vote, which counts for 50 per cent of each entrant’s final score. The winner will be announced on December 7^th.
