At PTG Global, we
make technology work by getting the design right the first time.
Hi!
March
has been another month of solid achievement for PTG Global. But
before I get to that, on the personal front, I married the love of
my life, Kylie Flower, in South Australia's wonderful Clare
Valley, on March 18th!
Back in the office,
our 'IT Blueprint ' was featured in the March Edition of ‘Better
Buying’, the Quarterly Newsletter that helps NSW government buyers
make better decisions. The IT Blueprint is our thoroughly proven
answer to the shockingly high rate of major IT project failure (in
excess of 80% according to most noted industry watchers).
Currently, we are relying heavily on our IT blueprint in a number
of large engagements to deliver Enterprise User Interfaces. Craig
describes Enterprise UIs in detail in a white paper in this issue.
On the staff side
of things, we are hosting four outstanding post graduates, three
of whom, Jalal, Erin and Claudia,have recently accepted permanent
positions. Welcome back to Alex from his extended trip to Africa,
UK and India, and to Zaz our new office administrator!
Finally, we are
also very excited to be exhibiting our new products and eyetracker
on the NSW Department of State and Regional Development stand at
CeBIT in May!
Cheers
and have a great month!
