November 9 -- Hobart -- Insight4 Wins Tasmanian Emerging Business Award

Insight4 was announced the winner of the Emerging Business Category at the 2009 Tasmanian ICT Awards Presentation. The Tasmanian ICT awards recognise Tasmanian companies that excel in the innovative and competitive information and communications technology market.

Insight4 is a vibrant and fast-growing Hobart based software development and ICT consultancy. Co Founder and Managing Director Jared Hill said his company had excelled against the odds, expanding in a market when so many others had retreated in the face of the global financial crisis. "This is an excellent reward for all the hard work by the team over the past 12 months, I would like to thank all our clients for their continuing support and patronage, which has enabled Insight4 to continue growing despite the recent difficulties in the global economy.” Mr Hill said.

Within six years Insight4 has grown from a boutique IT consultancy into a major employer and leader within Tasmania’s ICT industry. Insight4 currently employs 15 full time staff. Insight4 is also a strong supporter of the University of Tasmania and will be employing two undergraduates for summer internships.

The award recognises Insight4's capacity in designing and delivering software solutions with a true focus on emergent and cutting edge technologies. This is a key differentiator for Insight4, which is in constant pursuit of new and better ways of doing things. "We have a young and enthusiastic workforce, with the majority of our staff being under 30, but they have a capacity beyond their years. This is reflected in our strong track record of solving complex problems for our clients.”

Insight4 promotes the effective use of cutting edge technology and is committed to innovation through the Insight4 Emergent Technology Group. "Our Emergent Technology Group is responsible for researching early-stage technologies and trends which can then be used for use in our enterprise technology projects,’’ said Mr Hill. Knowledge gained from the group provides clients with early access to innovative and leading-edge software solutions.

“Insight4 has been an industry leader in promoting adoption of cloud computing, Software as a Service (SaaS) architectures, and rapid prototyping frameworks such as Ruby on Rails.”
