Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
Compuware has appointed of senior industry executive to drive its business strategies across the Australian, New Zealand and Japanese markets with the objective of growing its “leadership position” in each market.
The company today announced the appointment of
Steve Jobson, who has relocated from the UK to Sydney, to the position
of vice president responsible for Australia, New Zealand and Japan, and
with the key responsibility to execute the company’s business service
delivery strategy across the region and to “help customers optimise
both the performance of their business applications and aligning their
IT investments with their business.”
Jobson, a qualified biochemist, has worked for 20 years with Compuware,
including three years as vice president Asia-Pacific and five years as
vice president, Compuware UK and Ireland, responsible for Northern
EMEA, leading operations in the UK, Ireland, Scandinavia and South
Africa.
According to Jobson, “organisations have two major IT challenges -
ensuring that the performance of applications meets the expectations of
their customers and the business, and making sure their IT investments
are “ruthlessly directed to where they add most business value.”
“Compuware’s core expertise is protecting our customers’ bottom line
when it comes to IT,” says Jobson, adding that “competition across the
board has never been more intense. At the same time, money is hard to
come by, particularly for IT. It really is about doing more with less
in a very tough environment.”

investments are ruthlessly directed to where they add most business
value.”
Jobson also reckons that poorly performing applications make companies
less responsive, less competitive and less productive, and he maintains
that “new, disruptive technologies like Web Services, virtualisation
and cloud computing only increase the difficulty of getting
applications to deliver value back to the business.”
