TechnologyOne's $12 million investment in its new international R&D centre and corporate headquarters in Brisbane has attracted plaudits from local government in Queensland, with the company awarded the Brisbane lord mayor's National Australia Bank award for new investment.

The NAB award for new Investment recognises companies which have made a strategic investment in their future. The $12 million fit-out of TechnologyOne's new building, which brings together three offices from across Brisbane, is designed to enhance collaboration, innovation and creativity amongst the international software provider's 450 staff.

TechnologyOne operating officer sales & marketing, Roger Phare, said that the new R&D centre and corporate headquarters was an 'investment in the people of TechnologyOne,' and company executive chairman, Adrian Di Marco, said TechnologyOne employed 'some of the country's most talented software developers right here in Australia, providing them with a viable and attractive alternative to moving abroad to use their skills and qualifications.'

'We knew that in order to continue to attract and retain the best software developers and executive staff, we needed to invest in accommodation that would inspire our staff to continue their innovative and collaborative approach to delivering the world's best software solutions,' Di Marco noted.

Brisbane lord mayor, Campbell Newman, acknowledged the achievements of all ten award winners who he said had been recognised 'not only for their outstanding contributions to the growth of Brisbane's economy, but also for their ability to enable innovation, create and attract talent, and connect to the national and international marketplace.'
