Gen-i, the systems integration business of Telecom NZ, plans to expand its Australian workforce by 30%

Gen-i already employs 200 people in Australia and plans a 30% increase over the next 18 months. All of the company's Australasian clients have renewed their agreements, said Paul Wilson, the company's managing director for Australia said.

The focuses of the expansion will be network and security, collaboration, end user computing, and cloud and virtualisation, he added.

"With employees now expecting to be able to bring their own devices into the workplace, corporate IT departments are coming under increased pressure to accommodate wide diversity in the way IT is being consumed and deployed, with systems complexity often outpacing in-house skills," Mr Wilson said. "Gen-i continues to invest in on-the-ground expertise in Australia, to support the demand we are seeing from clients for sophisticated collaboration solutions that span these complex environments."

The company's Australian offices are in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane.
