Announcement posted by POINT Australia 09 Dec 2004
Australian CRM software vendor now provides Business Process and Relationship Management solutions to roster of high-profile international customers
POINT Australia, a leading provider of Relationship Management and Business Process Management solutions, today announced that it was renaming itself POINT Global Solutions and adjusting its business model so it can compete more effectively in global solutions markets. The changes are effective immediately.
POINT Global Solutions was established in 1995 under the name of POINT Australia as the Australian subsidiary of Dublin-based CRM firm Point Information Systems. After a successful management buyout in 1998, the company quickly grew beyond its original product offerings and market reach to establish a strong international customer base for Relationship Management and Business Process solutions across multiple industries.
POINT built its reputation on the successful distribution and implementation of the e-Point CRM solution in Australia, said John Thompson, Chief Executive Officer, POINT Global Solutions. But we have evolved into a solutions provider, not just a software company, and we serve customers in a wide variety of sectors including retail, financial services, energy, professional services, and telecommunications. The renaming of the company as POINT Global Solutions reflects the great progress we have made.

The company has expanded its relationship with Edify a leading global supplier of voice,speech and contact centre optimisation solutions to become reseller and solutions partner for the Edify e-point CRM solution in the Asia Pacific. Its previous agreement with Edify covered Australia only. Other key POINT Global Solutions partners are LogicaCMG and Macquarie Telecom.
