 National broadband company Internode has become SA's 23rd largest company according to the annual inBusiness T100 report, after reporting revenues of $170 million for the past financial year.
Internode, and its associate company Agile Communications, have climbed from position #31 on the T100 chart in the past year, a period when its employee numbers have topped 320. About half of the company's revenues come from outside its home state of SA.
Internode is the largest technology company on the list, significantly ahead of memory manufacturer Legend Corporation and communications manufacturer Codan Ltd.
Internode's Chief Executive Officer Patrick Tapper said he expected Internode's rapid growth rate to continue for the foreseeable future. "Internode has grown by about $30 million annually during the past two years," he said. "We expect to maintain that volume of growth as the company diversifies its products and services to meet the needs of our customers, especially corporate and government organisations.

 National accounting firm RSM Bird Cameron has recruited information
security veteran Jo Stewart-Rattray to head up its new Risk Management
Services team in Adelaide.
Jo has 20 years experience in the IT field, including as a Chief
Information Officer for a major utility. She has worked in the
information security arena for 12 years. In her most recent role, at
Vectra Corporation, Jo provided strategic advice to organisations
across industry sectors including banking and finance, utilities,
automotive manufacturing, tertiary education, retail and government.
Jo specialises in consulting in information security issues with a
particular emphasis on governance in both the commercial and
operational areas of businesses.
As RSM Bird Cameron’s Director for Information Security, Jo said her
focus was on the business side of risk management rather than the
technical element. “Information security is all about risk management,
so my role is to identify where the risk lies and to reduce it,” she
said.
“People at the coalface are doing a good job of managing risk, but
that has the effect of quarantining risk management rather than
inculcating it through the organisation. Executive management and
senior management must become more aware of the issue of risk. We need
more executive focus.”

Many retailers are basing business strategy and investment decisions on inaccurate data gained from poorly-calibrated or malfunctioning people counting systems warns industry leader Beonic.
The Melbourne based company, a world leader in people-counting and retail intelligence systems, has launched a new service called Accuracy Counts , which will benefit users of all people counting technology, regardless of the sensor type or manufacturer.
Beonic operations manager Adam Barrow said the Australian marketplace had a wide variety of people counting technologies available. "Regardless of the technology you use to measure your foot traffic, you still need to know how accurately it is performing," he said.
"A surprising number of retailers are basing decisions such as marketing effectiveness or sales conversion results on incorrect or outdated accuracy benchmarks."
