Inside ASI-AP

I was in Sydney last Thursday and Friday trying to get back to a regular monthly visit to Sydney. On Thursday I met up with Finsia for a brief project status update following their renewals being run, and then I attended the project kick off meeting for National Breast Cancer Foundation.

Friday I met for breakfast with Nasser - who used to work with ASI Consulting - and has now setup his own consulting business (Avion Software www.avion-software.com) and has signed up as an iMIS Authorised Consultant. We are already using Nasser for a number of ASI projects and will continue to help him build his iMIS business as he starts to work directly with iMIS customers. Nasser's business partner is Sashank Kotcherlakota; and Sashank is also iMIS experienced as he worked for a few years at CPA Australia as a developer and he worked on both iMIS web and marketing suite projects while there.

After breakfast I was back at Finsia meeting the key business owners following the departure of their CIO/project manager and getting everyone up to date with the project. Then it was off to lunch for the first Sydney quarterly MD's recognition lunch in almost a year. This quarter we went to Rockpool Sydney - and my award winning guests were Amanda S (5 year anniversary), Jason (two Excellence awards) and Peter (Excellence and Respect awards). We enjoyed some great food, some good wine and although Amanda arrived a little late (but just in time for desert) some great company. It is always a pleasure for me to celebrate the achievements of ASI'ers.
