Melbourne-based online solutions company, DC123 Group has appointed former EDS executive and NAB, Westpac and Ansett CIO, Michael Coomer as chairman, following the company's recent launch of its web-based MyRecruitOnline software.

Schulze claims that the MyRecruitOnline software is set to 'transform and reform the recruitment industry.'

Coomer has more than 30 years experience in the IT industry. As well as his time with Ansett, NAB and Westpac, he was executive vice-president for the Asia-Pacific and Japan region for EDS prior to the company's merger with Hewlett Packard in 2008.
