Christchurch is a great place to build an international software business, says Pivot Software managing director Philippa Youngman, whose company sells human resources software to large businesses throughout Australasia.

"We can access exceptional staff, be part of the dynamic local IT community and enjoy an excellent lifestyle. Because our business is basically online, we can largely service big organisations in Sydney and Melbourne from the comfort of our Christchurch office," she says.

Taking a smart approach to business by outsourcing functions such as marketing and software development has put Pivot in a better position to grow, Youngman says. "We could perform these functions ourselves cuff watches for men in-house but, by adopting this model, we are able to concentrate on our core set of skills and focus solely on what we know."

She says this highly productive business model is one that could be replicated by many Canterbury software companies, delivering the high staff productivity rates and good baseline revenue per employee that Pivot enjoys.

Pivot's software-as-a-service (SaaS) solutions are used by organisations with workforces ranging from 400 to more than 13,000, in sectors such as banking, insurance, professional engineering, utilities, retail and government. More than 40,000 staff throughout large New Zealand organisations such as IAG, Christchurch City Council, New Zealand Post, Westpac, Meridian Energy, The Warehouse and Fulton Hogan use Pivot's software.

Performance management and remuneration-review processes are at the core of Pivot's focus. Organisations use Pivot's solutions to gain more control over these complex and often emotional human- resource processes. "These are what we call 'moments of truth' in any organisation. They are closely connected with the productivity, efficiency and morale of any labour force," Youngman says.

Organisations can take a smarter approach with Pivot's solutions - automating time- consuming tasks, empowering line managers and providing greater visibility of the processes.

Last year, Pivot grew export sales by more than 200 per cent, and secured some well-known clients in its target markets of finance, energy and engineering sectors.

StrongMail Awarded Patents for Its Delivery Technology as It Passes the 500 Customer Mark With Key Enterprise Customers That Include AT&T Interactive, Tesco and TV Guide Digital

Corum Bubble XL Diamond Steel Purple Mens Watch 396-257-47-F166-FW30R REDWOOD CITY, Calif. -- StrongMail, a leading provider of online marketing solutions for email and social media, today announced that it has passed the 500 customer milestone and has been awarded multiple patents on its innovative delivery technology, which pushes its performance above competing solutions in terms of throughput, reliability, intelligent delivery, and real-time optimization and reporting. Recent StrongMail customers who helped push the company past the 500 mark include renowned global brands such as AT&T Interactive, Tesco and TV Guide Digital.

StrongMail's rapid growth among medium- to large-sized enterprises is being driven by its break-away email marketing and social media solutions that are unique in the industry, and give marketers definitive control to effectively engage consumers over email, social media, mobile and other digital channels. Companies that understand the value and criticality of their customer communications are turning to StrongMail as the only provider offering dedicated, cost-effective solutions alongside a comprehensive array of strategic, creative, deliverability and technical services. This blend of unique technology and broad services is a key component of StrongMail's success, which is challenging the status quo presented by traditional outsourced providers.

Since the company's founding, StrongMail has continued to drive innovation in the industry. With the release of its first email products, StrongMail reengineered the standard email delivery engine to address the crippling email deliverability challenges facing the industry. As a result, many of the world's largest brands are getting their email delivered with StrongMail's patented, groundbreaking technology, which facilitates the rapid, reliable and intelligent delivery of high-volume email.

In addition to investing in its email technology and services, StrongMail has also demonstrated its commitment to emerging channels by being the first top-tier email solution provider to integrate its Christian Louboutin solutions with social media, made possible by StrongMail鈥檚 acquisition of San Francisco-based Popular Media last year. StrongMail is also leveraging innovative new ways to better serve clients with the recent launch of its Spark online community, which provides direct access to StrongMail and industry experts.

"The typical StrongMail customer comes to us after hitting the wall with their current provider, at which point they quickly realize that we can easily address their challenges with powerful and cost-effective solutions that go above and beyond their needs both today and in the future," said Sam Cece, CEO of StrongMail. "From two of the three world's largest retailers, to some of the most popular brands in entertainment, financial services and the Web, StrongMail has amassed an impressive customer list that we are working hard for every day to maximize their investment in smart, effective online marketing."
