Specialist ICT solutions from New Zealand

New Zealand’s information and communications technology (ICT) sector can add great value to your business. Our ICT companies are perfectly placed to meet growing world demand for specialist applications.

New Zealand has a proven track record of delivering solutions that are commercial winners. We enjoy particular success with applications for specialist markets. For example, more than one-third of British dental practices now use specialist dental software provided by a New Zealand company. And New Zealand customer information system technologies have captured a 37 percent market share of all North American retail energy marketer installations.

Our companies stand out because of their willingness to apply new thinking. They offer fast response times, cost- competitive results, and operate in an excellent business environment. New Zealand’s location and demographics create a small but well-defined environment that is excellent for market testing and research and development.

Multinationals recognise the value New Zealand offers and work with our ICT sector to deliver world-leading solutions to customers - and results to investors.

New Zealand and multinational partnerships deliver commercial success

Many multinationals already profit from a partnership with New Zealand.

Singapore Technologies Electronics Limited has leveraged off our ability to 'do more with less' by investing in a New Zealand e-commerce company. This global partnership now supplies credit card-compliant terminals to one of Singapore’s largest taxi fleets.

United States-based GeoVector Corporation benefits from our willingness to apply new thinking. GeoVector’s New Zealand research and development centre pragmatically mixes technologies and disciplines, creating bold solutions from innovation and flexible ICT environments.

Global internet company Allied Telesyn Group was attracted by the broad skills and responsiveness of our developers and managers, and their ability to see the big picture. Allied Telesyn has expanded numbers at its New Zealand research centre from 25 to 200 in three years, attributing this growth to New Zealand’s global connectedness and the availability of specialist skills.

United States-based Symantec Corporation benefits from New Zealand’s cost-competitive labour force, and its ability to develop solutions for global markets. Symantec’s New Zealand investment runs the United States company’s only development centre outside North America and Europe.

Symantec kept the development centre in New Zealand because of the high quality of our university graduates. Flexible immigration policies also mean overseas recruits can be employed when specialist expertise is not readily available.

EDS recognises our excellent business environment, which includes a world-class communications infrastructure, political stability, and a secure intellectual property regime. EDS has added EDS New Zealand to its ' Best Shore' programme which highlights high quality, cost competitive environments.
