Designertech: Putting Customer Experience at the Forefront
Ray Delany, CEO The emergence of new age software solutions has played a significant role in elevating corporate activities across the globe. With software developers successfully addressing technological challenges that have occurred with time, introduction of newer solutions and innovative methodologies has given a boost to the working strategies at an enterprise level. As a consequence, several large and small software solution providers have come to the fore, however very few have managed to carve a niche in this competitive sector. Designertech is one among those few who have been successfully mitigating software related issues and rendering outstanding solutions to its clients since 1994. “Out of our software competency we built and marketed one of the first successful NZ software exports during the dot-com boom. Our product, Mail Marshal, captured a significant portion of the world market for Internet security products before being purchased by NetIQ in 2002,” says Ray Delany, CEO of the company. It was the success of Mail Marshal that has enabled Designertech to expand its software practice deliver ables including highly innovative medium and large enterprises who understands the process of using technology for their competitive advantage.
Headquartered at Auckland, New Zealand, Designertech has significant understanding and experience in a number of sector verticals, notably transport/logistics and healthcare. “We prefer not to think of our core competencies as being limited to any one sector. Rather we find that our services are best suited to companies who want to use tech as part of their competitive advantage.
Technology should be looked at as an asset to be managed strategically rather than a cost to be minimized, and we work best when customers share that view,” adds Ray. However, Designertech has the ability to work the way its customers need and also develop software that delivers business differentiation in its clients’ working sphere. Successfully working with some of NZ's leading exporters, the company has developed an outward looking approach and is focussed on growing its offshore services. “Our customers grew by facing the business challenges and thus we introduced our business consulting services in order to help with streamlining processes and ensuring efficient delivery of projects to our valuable clients,” illustrates Ray.
