Equinox Client Feedback

FutureSelves Limited

"Equinox took a pragmatic, practical approach. The intelligent software design has provided us with a world class product that has transformed our business and opened new markets."

Dr Geoff Plimmer, Director, FutureSelves Limited, 2007.

Maritime New Zealand

"Equinox provides an IT architectural oversight capability to our current program of work, running over the next 2-3 years. By facilitating and overseeing the work of the other IT vendors and our internal staff in an objective and pragmatic fashion, Equinox has provided an excellent cost effective service that has enhanced our overall IT capability and helped us to deliver to the goals of the program.

Equinox has been very straightforward and professional to deal with and I look forward to continuing the relationship over the next few years.”

Peter de Wit, Information Services Manager, Maritime New Zealand, 2007.

New Zealand Venture Investment Fund Limited

“We were impressed with the pragmatic rigour that Equinox brought to the process of the selection of core IT applications for our business. Through Equinox’s business focussed architectural approach, we are very confident that the solutions chosen fully meet the requirements of our organisation now and in the future. I would not hesitate to use them again."

Richard Palmer, Programme Manager – Seed Co-investment Programme, New Zealand Venture Investment Fund Limited, 2007.

Schering-Plough Animal Health New Zealand

"Ten years ago Equinox developed an application for us. The existing system has proven to be highly reliable and the team who built the original system is still employed at Equinox.

Equinox has continued to work with us since then to acquire an in-depth understanding of our business. When we needed to upgrade the system, we trusted Equinox to redevelop this application.

This redevelopment project was a 'meeting of minds' between the way the Equinox process was run and the way we wanted to do things. I valued the excellent communication, the interaction, the structured yet flexible process and the methodologies employed. I would not hesitate to recommend Equinox to other companies."

Martyn Phillips, Country Director, Schering-Plough Animal Health New Zealand, 2007.

The Open Polytechnic of New Zealand

“Equinox brought their extensive practical performance testing expertise to bear in a way that allowed us to deploy our new enterprise wide system with the confidence that it would perform under our peak loads.

The Equinox team went above and beyond the call of duty working late into the night and sometimes on into the morning within very tight timeframes to deliver the results that we required. I was extremely impressed with their professionalism and would not hesitate to use them again.”

Colin Cumming, Director, Information Services, The Open Polytechnic of New Zealand, 2007.

Equinox Learning Client Feedback

Intergen

“We selected Equinox Learning to deliver our agile project training based on their market reputation and because they were able to respond and deliver at such short notice. The training itself was excellent and met all our needs.”

Matt Scrafton, Project Manager, Intergen, 2007.

New Zealand Post

"New Zealand Post is adopting a more agile approach to development activities, with the objective of delivering solutions of higher business value, in reduced timeframes. We selected Equinox Learning – a leader in iterative and agile software development training – to train our team in agile project management, planning and approaches.

Equinox Learning provided us with an in-house 'agile software development overview' training course, delivered by two excellent and experienced instructors. This overview provided us with the opportunity for pragmatic discussion about the implications and risks of agile development for New Zealand Post project management, governance and supplier relationships.

The training has been very valuable in helping us to understand current agile practice – and as a result we are about to commence a pilot project to introduce a number of these techniques."

Clare Kernot, General Manager International, New Zealand Post – Postal Services Group – International, 2007.

Optimation

"I received very positive feedback about the Equinox Learning business analysis courses attended. My business analyst commented that the real world experience of the instructor was invaluable and that the course notes were very thorough. I will definitely send staff on Equinox Learning training courses again."

Steve Cohn, Head Of Software Services, Optimation, 2007

Tertiary Education Commission

“Our business is undergoing rapid change and traditional IT methods are simply not responsive enough in our environment. Equinox has successfully worked with us to introduce and apply agile values, principles and practices that are changing the way we deliver IT solutions in our organisation.

Equinox has operated at an organisational level to deliver an integrated package of agile training and mentoring to all our staff in the IT group. As we seek to embrace change through closer collaboration with our business, Equinox's consultative and pragmatic approach is making a major contribution to successfully anchoring this critical initiative.”

Greg Smith, Chief Information Officer, Tertiary Education Commission, 2007.
