Adelaide printer specialist Domain Technologies has announced its appointment as a Lanier-Ricoh Authorised Copier Dealer for South Australia.

Domain Technologies promotes itself as a one-stop shop for all business IT hardware and supplies, with one of Australia's largest ranges of IT products and peripherals at the lowest prices.

Established in 2001, Domain Technologies has built strong relationships with many of Australia's leading printer vendors including HP, Lexmark, Samsung, Canon and Fuji Xerox.

Company founder and Document Solutions Manager Peter Foulger said the Lanier-Ricoh dealership extended Domain’s ability to meet the needs of its customer. “Our goal is to provide what the customer wants, both in terms of performance and price,” he said.

Klaus BartoschExecutive Chairman of 1stAvailable.com.au, charity cyclist and cancer survivor Klaus Bartosch will this week travel halfway round the world to ride 260km in Canada’s Enbridge Ride to Conquer Cancer.

Klaus, well known for his successful tenure at Hostworks, in August last year embraced cycling a great way to raise money and awareness for the fight against cancer by joining the inaugural Rio Tinto Ride to Conquer Cancer. Prior to preparing for this ride he had never ridden more than 5klm in his life!

In a 240km ride over two days, Klaus led a 15-strong team of cyclists that raised $50,000 toward cancer research. In total, 1366 riders took part in the Brisbane event, raising $4.7m – and breaking the Queensland fundraising record in the process.

Klaus’ team is now called Vision Crusaders, which will again raise many thousands of dollars in this year’s Rio Tinto Ride to Conquer Cancer, in August.

However, first, Klaus will travel to the Canadian fundraising ride to contribute his enthusiasm and energy to promote awareness of the event. Already, he has been invited to appear, with his bike gear, on the Morning Live Show of Toronto TV station CHCH on June 7 http://www.chch.com/index.php/morning-live-blog/itemlist.

 

Impress Media Australia has completed the $100,000 “green” renovation of its office building in Norwood by installing 26 solar panels on its northern roof.

The 4.94-kilowatt system, comprising an array of 26 190-watt Suntech photovoltaic panels and an SMA SunnyBoy 5000TL inverter, is expected to pay for itself through reduced power costs within five years.

As well as producing power for offices in the 120-year old, six-room Norwood villa, the solar system will feed electricity to the South Australian grid during weekends and public holidays.

Impress Media Australia is an Adelaide-based public relations agency that specialises in providing media communication services for technology companies and fast-growing businesses.

Impress Media Australia founder and managing director John Harris said the solar panels were the final stage of a renovation project that started when he bought the property in 1999. “We’ve turned a drafty old building into a state-of-the-art office,” he said.

Matthew Franceschini When Entity Solutions recognised that it had outgrown its accounting software, the multi-award-winning professional engagement (contractor management) services company turned to Evolution Business Systems (EBS) and the Microsoft Dynamics NAV enterprise management software to meet its needs.

With turnover growth of nearly 50 per cent in 2010-11, Entity Solutions choose Microsoft Dynamics NAV because it offered the ability to immediately meet its current needs and the flexibility to meet all requirements for the foreseeable future. For Entity Solutions CEO Matthew Franceschini, the Microsoft Dynamics NAV project was “the single most successful technology implementation I have ever seen” – on time, within budget and delivering more than EBS initially promised.
