Dear valued Kiandra supporter,
Welcome to the July/August issue of Advantage.
The last few months have been particularly busy for Kiandra, we were named a Partner of the Year Finalist in the Microsoft Australia Partner Awards - receiving two award nominations in the Software Development category, ranked at number 16 in BRW’s Best Places to Work list, we were appointed to the new Whole of Victorian Government eServices Panel as well as the WA Government’s Information and Communications Technology (ICT) Common Use Agreement (CUA) 14008 and of course there was the end of the financial year – which I’m sure had most of you run off your feet as well!
