UltraServe VP Sales Adam Chicktong International and domestic sales are booming for Australian managed cloud services provider UltraServe after last year’s successful launch of SmartStack, its hybris-based Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS).

As well as more than doubling its contracted base of customers during the past year, UltraServe has recruited an extra 15 people at its "ultra urban" head office in Pyrmont and its NSW Central Coast development centre with continued expansion into Auckland, London, Chicago and Asia.

The company has also successfully entered the enterprise market, winning business from ASX-listed and multinational corporations, building on its previous success in the medium-sized business sector.

UltraServe’s announcement of its PaaS sales success comes in the same week as technology analyst Telsyte released its Australian Enterprise Applications Market Study 2015, which found that 56 per cent of Australian organisations are already using or investigating PaaS to deploy custom software.

UltraServe VP of Sales Adam Chicktong said the company was expanding at an unprecedented rate. “Our growth is on the back of the international success of our globally unique hybris PaaS, SmartStack,” he said.

Professor Paul Delaney More than 50 snowy-haired people with albinism visit Cairns this weekend for a major conference on the causes, challenges and achievements related to the misunderstood genetic condition.

With delegates and speakers coming from throughout Australia and New Zealand, the sixth Albinism Fellowship of Australia Biennial Conference will run from Friday, September 25, to Sunday, September 27, at the Hilton Cairns.

Albinism, a genetic condition caused by a lack of pigment in the skin, hair and eyes, is linked to pale skin, white hair and poor eyesight, often in the range of legal blindness. With an occurrence of one in 17,000, Australia has more than 1300 persons with albinism.

Persons with albinism work in all areas of Australian life. AFA members include an MP, a doctor, business owners and senior executives in the public sector. Former Adelaide man, Professor Paul Delaney, who has albinism, is today a leading astronomer in North America.
