Catalysts in a new era of productivity growth
For more than 30 years, AirData has been at the forefront of harnessing information technology as a channel for productivity growth. We evolved through innovation from software development in the 1980s to networked computing in the 1990s only to emerge as leading enterprise mobility practitioners in the new millennium.
The past 10 years has seen the dawn of a new era in productivity growth fuelled by the emergence of mobile technology. AirData has led this trend in Australia as the country's largest specialised enterprise mobility systems integrator.
We help drive corporate bottom lines by exploiting the power of mobile technology to improve operations and earnings. Our growing presence and capability has become recognised as a catalyst for leading Australian enterprise practice in this field.
Through an empowering team spirit, acquisition of the highest capabilities and development of key partnerships in our sector, we have emerged as the leading enterprise mobility specialist in Australia.
Complexity: it's our business
To be an expert in enterprise mobility, there can be no limits to one's ability to handle technological, organisational and informational complexity. AirData is not only comfortable in this space, it is deeply familiar with complexity at the very highest level of enterprise practice.
In fact, there is no limit to the complexities we confront on a daily basis. Understanding these is just part and parcel of our role in creating boundary-less information flows which filter through every facet of your organisation.
Through complexity we build interconnected data systems, releasing information from supply chains and placing it at your fingertips - no longer constrained by the office, the data centre or wired networks.
National coverage, international expertise
AirData is a company of ideal proportions: large enough to offer total local support to clients across Australia, small enough to provide tailored solutions and remain responsive to technological innovation. Our national coverage includes:
- More than 50 permanent, full-time staff
- 25 Professional Services staff, from Project Consultants and Project Managers to Installation Engineers, Support Engineers and Software Developers
- Continued acquisition of new staff in the mobility sector from vendors, integrators and telecommunications markets
- Headquarters in Sydney and regional state offices in Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth.
By a factor of 3:1, we are by far the largest specialist enterprise mobility systems integrator in Australia. While very small subsets of a select group of larger companies work in our field, the sum total of their teams and capabilities pales in comparison to our own.
In addition to our national capability, we belong to an international network of expertise through exclusive partnerships with global technology providers such as Motorola. We also have representative offices in Singapore through AirData (Asia Pacific) Pty Ltd.
Trusted Advisers, Chosen Partners
AirData's teams are seen as trusted advisers by our clients and preferred enterprise mobility practitioners by our corporate partners.
People invest in us with full confidence as a complete technology services organisation. Why? Because the totality of what we offer stretches far beyond that of a traditional partner of a hardware vendor. This is reflected in our in-house expertise, national coverage, local support and external resources.
Our partnerships and awards give full credence to our capabilities:
- We are a Premier Motorola Business Partner and Partner of the Year 2007 - recognition of our technical expertise, delivery capabilities, application development skill and national coverage.
- We are a Microsoft Certified Partner in Mobility Solutions and an Australian Government Endorsed Supplier.
- We were recently honoured with the Symbol Enterprise Mobility Solutions Award for the Star Track Express mobility project. This solution covered 27 depots using 2,000 Symbol mobile computers Australia-wide and the single largest wireless Mobility Services Platform deployment throughout APAC.
Trusted by leading and emerging Australian companies
AirData serves Tier 1, household-name companies and innovative, emerging businesses across Australia. While 25% of our clients are ASX 200 companies, our customer base ranges from small to medium enterprises (SMEs) through to some of Australia's largest companies in the manufacturing, warehouse management, transportation, health and retail sectors.
We adopt an engaged, partnership approach to client relationships, reflected in the fact that:
- Some of our customers have been with us for more than 15 years
- 30-40 % of new clients approach as a result of referrals from existing clients.
Rather than simply 'sell' a product or service to you in the short-term, our goal is to ensure the benefits of your association with AirData extend far into the future of your organisation.
