Executive summary

When listed biotech company Circadian Technologies Limited recognised that preparing its half-yearly financial reports for the Australian Stock Exchange was becoming a financial and administrative burden, the company decided to replace MYOB with Microsoft Dynamics NAV, deployed by national ERP software specialist Evolution Business Systems (EBS). Since installing NAV, Circadian has reduced reporting times, lowered administrative overheads, eliminated errors and provided finance staff with their first ever chance to take annual leave during Christmas. Benefits delivered by Microsoft Dynamics NAV and EBS include:

Cutting two days from the time required to prepare half-year financial reports
Consolidating five separate databases into one integrated system
Greater accuracy through the elimination of manual processes and external spreadsheets
Managing project budgeting and expenditure more effectively than other solutions
Availability of consolidated reporting at the click of a few buttons

“EBS put a lot of time into the upfront understanding of what we wanted.”

Adelaide antique dealer Peter Jenkinson has located a rare whale’s tooth – a sacred artifact known as a tabua - from Fiji.

Last year, Mr. Jenkinson bought the whale’s tooth from the son of an Australian Methodist minister, the Reverend Charles Dadds, who had received it as a gift from indigenous Fijians when he was a missionary from 1918-1920.

Mr. Jenkinson said the tabua was intricately interwoven in traditional Fijian cultural life. “Its relationship with the sacred is the key to its understanding,” he said.

IT executive Klaus Bartosch has traded in his tie for treadly tyres to lead a team that will ride pushbikes 200km over two days to raise funds for a major Conquer Cancer event in Queensland.

The Conquer Cancer ride is raising money and increasing visibility for the work of the Queensland Institute of Medical Research, which is one of the world’s top cancer research centres.

Klaus, a senior executive of cloud computing services specialist Virtual Ark and formerly of Hostworks, will join more than 1500 participants on the Conquer Cancer ride, which starts on August 20.

After a strong start to his own fund-raising effort, Klaus has formed a team of 14 riders, each of whom has committed to raising at least $2500 in donations for the cause.

Cancer is a disease with a huge impact in this country. With an estimated 115,000 new cases of cancer diagnosed in Australia in 2010, cancer is the second leading cause of Australian deaths and affects almost 20 per cent of the population. More than 43,000 people are expected to die from cancer in 2011.

Klaus said the Conquer Cancer ride was his chance to make a difference. “It’s a cause I feel passionately about, being a cancer survivor myself and having lost friends, family and work colleagues to this horrible disease that sadly touches almost everyone,” he said.
