The other team to be affected by the Ecentric acquisition is Technical Services. In
this case it was more an increase in demand than an increase in capacity. The
Technical Services team have been working long hours to migrate the Ecentric
internet hosting in to Intergen’s data centre. Ecentric's former clients now have
a team of six specialists looking after their internet hosting rather than relying
on a single person.
As well as boosting the capabilities of our team, the acquisition of Ecentric has
alleviated the pressures we had on space in our Wellington office. We have made
good use of the office space occupied by Ecentric to house several project teams.
Planning is under way for a move to larger premises later in the year to
accommodate all of Intergen Wellington under one roof.
Last year Intergen also acquired 50% of Microsoft Navision
specialists, Interfusion. We did this because we projected
increased demand for the integration services that
Intergen provides to the Interfusion client base. This is
proving to be correct and the teams are now working
under the Intergen banner with a number of clients and
opportunities. The Navision team are now working from
Intergen’s Auckland and Christchurch offices with the
Wellington move to come later in the year. This new area
of the business is experiencing a lot of success, and has
recently appointed Richard Jacobs as General Manager based
in Auckland to further grow the business.
We are very excited about our increased capabilities and look forward to introducing
you to our new and improved services during the year.

2005 was a year of strong growth for Intergen. Revenue
was up by 25% and there is no sign that things will
ease this year. There continues to be strong demand
across all our offices and markets.
Our team was boosted late last year with the acquisition of
Ecentric. Ecentric’s strengths were complementary to Intergen’s
and the acquisition has allowed us to speed up the evolution
of our business. The most visible area for clients is our
increased support capability with the establishment of a
new business unit called Support Services. The Support
Services team combines a helpdesk/ call centre with
experienced developers, ensuring that we provide the same
quality service and responsiveness after systems are live
as we do during development. The addition of this team has
enhanced our ability to deliver, measure and report on Service
Level Agreements for an increasing number of mission critical systems.
With the Ecentric acquisition came additional capability and capacity for our team
of Business Analysts. Significant effort has gone in to merging and redefining our
methodologies in this area.

We have been busy with web
development recently and some of our
recent successes include:
Northland Regional Council (NRC):
we developed a corporate intranet,
upgraded the corporate Internet website,
including implementation of EPiServer
content management system (CMS) to
manage its content.
CommunityNet: Intergen were actively
involved in the CommunityNet Aotearoa
website winning an inaugural AccEase
Accessibility Tick Accreditation award.
The awards recognise websites that
demonstrate best practice in accessibility.
Navy: The Virtual Frigate part of the
new Navy website won awards for
allowing viewers to tour ANZAC frigate
Te Mana. The virtual tour provides visitors
with the ability to view all decks and get
a 360 degree view of the various sections
of the ship.

What about the role of the much maligned ‘portal’? An enterprise version was on
the strategic agenda of most CIOs at Y2K. The technology was available, but why
were there so few notable success stories? And when there was why couldn’t we
relate to them? Seen through yellow lenses the answer is simple – few enterprise
portals offered ‘mutually reciprocated’ exchange of value. Few
enterprise portals offered employees any genuine upside in the
relationship, most focused on enforcing compliance with apparently
efficient and effective re-engineering processes.
Fast forward to 2006 and consider the situation of an energy company
removing the annoying meal time sales call, providing hassle-free
and prompt fault restoration, lowering prices and improving
its own operating margin in the process. Not an easy task and
one not achieved overnight, but neither is it impossible. The real
challenge however is in understanding how to dissolve the
human barriers, not necessarily how elegantly to architect and build
the solution.
Intelligent business is achievable and more than just a consulting
buzz phase. I’d welcome your views, feel free to send me your comments
on martin.johnston@intergen.com.au.

Anthea Whitlock
What do you do?
I am a member of the Support Services
Team in Wellington and manage service
delivery supplied through the Intergen
helpdesk. My role is to ensure that all
our clients are provided with a consistent
and high quality support service to meet
their needs.
How do you make a difference?
I am committed to service excellence
and strive to always understand the
client and end-user view of the world.
I work with the Support Services team
to identify new ways to help clients and
continuously strive for improvement in
the services and benefits that we provide.
What do you love about your job?
Helping people and seeing them go
away satisfied. On top of that, no two
days are ever the same. I never know
what’s going to happen next and I’m
lucky enough to work in a great
environment with very motivated and
talented people.
A bit about me
I am a lover of nature and the great
outdoors and have recently made a
move to rural living where I will no
doubt end up with an eclectic farmyard
of animals! I believe personal growth
is an important part of living life and
enjoy seeing both myself and others
succeed in challenging themselves and
their boundaries.
We provide a helpdesk service with both analysts and experienced developers
permanently situated within the support team. Issues are resolved quickly using
the most effective approach and with no impact on other project delivery work.
Our strong track record in support provision and working with third parties means
that we really understand what it takes to support systems. We get involved
early in the development phase to ensure that Intergen-developed systems can
be easily supported, so that by the time an application is released into production
we generally know it well, minimising the support upskilling time that is required.
We look forward to working with you in the future, to help understand your
support requirements and how we may together identify ways to improve the
value obtained from your systems.

Keeping systems
running smoothly
With organisations investing significant time and resource into systems
development, high quality post-implementation support is crucial. This is
more than just ensuring system access is maintained and problems dealt
with on a reactive basis – systems need to be proactively managed to keep
on top of emerging issues and to continue evolving to meet needs and
achieve critical success factors.
Intergen operates a dedicated support function within the Support Services
team. Its role is to ensure that production systems work effectively and to service
a wide range of customer requirements – from direct end user support to technical
escalation, defect fixes and small enhancement projects.
INTELIGENT BUSINESS… meaningful concept or
just another consulting buzz phrase?
Engaging in business models in which entities collaborate to mutual advantage
sounds intuitively intelligent. But is it little more than a pipe dream?
When observed through ‘Intergen’s yellow lenses’ communities are collaborative
in nature and this inclination has influenced businesses to seek opportunities
to engage more with customers, employees and suppliers. ‘Intelligent business’
recognises and exploits the opportunity offered by collaboration to lower costs,
enhance customer experience and extend service offerings.
The internet evolved as a ‘mechanism to facilitate collaboration’, in an environment
where it provided mutual benefit to the participants. Initially developed as a
‘translation service’ the focus soon turned to the ‘transport service’ as its benefits
were recognised by a wider audience. As it became popularised the basic
philosophy of fostering collaboration was suppressed as considerations such as
reliability, security and protection of competitive advantage crept in.

It shouldn’t be a gamble
Security and lawlessness problems mean the
Internet can be a risky place to play. As an Internet
hosting provider Intergen’s challenge is to be aware
of these problems and continuously review our
capacity to manage them on behalf of clients.
Highlighting this challenge, a major security organisation, the US
Government Computer Emergency Readiness Team (CERT), has
published the top three attack strategies; automation, increasing
sophistication and faster discovery of vulnerabilities.
Together these strategies mean a smarter intruder is
capable of discovering and attacking vulnerabilities
faster than ever before. The duration between a
vulnerability being discovered and a hacker exploiting
it is quickly diminishing. It is now imperative that vulnerabilities
are understood and security patches applied to Internet-connected
devices as soon as possible.
Effective security can only be achieved with a combination of technical
excellence and the implementation of meaningful policies and procedures –
this forms the basis of Intergen’s Security Framework. The key elements are:
>> MULTILAYER FIREWALL SECURITY
Providing multiple layers of firewall security from diverse vendors is a key strategy
in accomplishing robust Internet security.
>> PERIMETER INTRUDER DETECTION & PREVENTION
Intergen has implemented two high availability Intruder Detection and Prevention
(IDP) appliances which scan all internet traffic entering and leaving our hosting
facility. Using this approach intrusions are terminated before the attack reaches
our hosted platforms.
>> INLINE ANTIVIRUS PROTECTION
An effective approach to computer antivirus protection is similar to New Zealand’s
bio-security safeguards. The most effective place to block pests is at the border.
Intergen’s scanning service searches for viruses within all of the data entering
and exiting our hosting facility. It identifies viruses, worms, trojans, adware and
other threats, at the border and denies them entry into our hosting facility.
>> HOST BASED SECURITY
Although Intergen’s perimeter security framework delivers exceptional protection
it would be complacent to assume that any system was foolproof. As a further
layer of security, hosts within the environment are protected by local antivirus
and intrusion prevention applications.
>> RAPID CYCLE SOFTWARE UPDATE PROCESS
Intergen has implemented a proactive automated process to
gather critical and important software updates and distribute
them to servers within our hosting facility. Although
there is a risk that the implementation of an update
may adversely affect hosted solutions, this is
significantly outweighed by the risk of security
breaches caused by an implementation delay. The risk
is partially mitigated by our three day implementation cycle.
Updates are applied to hosts supporting our testing and stage
environments within 24 hours of the update’s release. Following
this they are applied to Intergen’s production platforms (which include
our shared hosting environments), within 48 hours. Finally, 72 hours after
release, updates are applied to all other hosts.
>> PROACTIVE SECURITY SCANNING & INTRUSION SIMULATION
Malicious Internet hackers utilise a vast array of tools and techniques to probe,
prod and compromise Internet hosting facilities. By regularly simulating the
increasing array of attacks available we can identify potential weaknesses and
react accordingly.
Client confidentiality precludes us from giving too much detail about what we
have done for some of our hosting clients, but if you want to discuss how your
hosting can be improved then talk to us about stacking the odds your way.

What do you do?
I am a Senior Developer Consultant
at Intergen Auckland working in the
Development & Integration team. I
specialise in the both the portal and
content management space utilising
products such as Microsoft Office
SharePoint Portal 2003 and CMS.
How do you make a difference?
Provide a professional service to clients
and try to exceed their expectations.
I believe in doing whatever it takes to get
the project completed so I am always
happy to tackle any issue head-on doing
whatever is required.
What do you love about your job?
Getting to work with the latest technologies
gives me a real buzz. Transforming new

Kirsten Bockett-Smith
What do you do?
I’m a business analyst, part of the
Professional Services team. My role
involves eliciting and managing business
requirements for our clients. I am the
line of communication between the end
user and the development team.
How do you make a difference?
I am involved at the beginning of a
project. I coordinate stakeholders and
bring a consensus on requirements which
will then be translated into an
application. Listening to customers and
understanding their problem is one of
the key skills of being a business analyst.
What do you love about your job?
I love the fact that I get to work with
a large range of clients, private and
public sector, and get to learn about
their organisation along the course
of a project.
A bit about me
I have recently taken up golf and am
getting used to searching in the woods
for golf balls rather than driving down
the fairway. I’m looking forward to
progressing to an under 10 handicap!
I spend far too many of my weekends
doing DIY house and landscaping
projects. I think our next house will have
to be new with no maintenance required.
Business Analysis:
the key element to gain
a competitive advantage
Unclear about the direction your project should
take? Unsure who the stakeholders are or how to
get their buy-in? Know what the outcome should
be, just don’t know how to get there or what it will
look like? So how can you resolve these dilemmas?
Fortunately the solution is easy.
It starts at the beginning
When it comes to finding the right solution to your business problem, putting the
right effort in upfront helps to reduce cost and increase the likelihood of success.
The initial analysis of client requirements or investigation of business processes
done by a business analyst are the most important tasks in ‘getting the project
off on the right foot’.
‘When too many cooks might spoil the broth’, your business analyst will help you
prioritise, balance interests against constraints, and ensure stakeholder buy-in
that helps focus the project.
Just as ‘there’s more than one way to skin a cat’, there’s no one method to
perform analysis. A good business analyst will use the right tools for the job –
from workshops, business and use case design to structured documentation.
Even if your organisation has business analyst resource, there is benefit in working
with external analysts to complement each other or provide mentoring to ensure
project success.

The Quality Assurance
Team: butterfly collectors
on a bug safari
< S M A R T S - T H E I N T E L L I G E N T B U S I N E S S M A G A Z I N E . I S S U E E L E V E N > >>5>> Q U A L I T Y A S S U R A N C E
As the complexity and scale of projects at Intergen
has increased over time, we’ve increased our
dedicated Quality Assurance team to help projects
of all sizes benefit from a focus on building quality
into applications and services.
While many people can’t fathom why we might enjoy bug hunting, I like to tell
them that we’re butterfly collectors – we never know what kind we’ll catch next,
or if we’ve ever seen it before. There is something fascinating in the fact that
bugs are elusive and unpredictable. You get some good hauls from using a purely
scientific approach, but the most colourful ones are caught by creative and
out-of the-box thinking.
I keep the best ones stuck down with pins in a little drawer.
S t r a n g e l y s a t i s f y i n g
All the good quality analysts I’ve ever met have an obsessive streak. We’re
naturally curious and inquisitive people. We were the kind of children who took
complicated machines apart to work out “Why?” It’s a vocation.
While no-one wants any bugs, it is our job to find them. We usually get a feel
for the ‘overall goodness factor’ or OGF pretty early on, but we need to gather
solid information to identify and solve any problems. Where there are issues that
need work, there is some consolation that we’ve successfully prevented any bugs
from entering the production environment. Where things are working well, we
like to recognise the good work done by the project team and give them some
positive feedback.
P r o c e s s i m p r o v e m e n t
Bugs live in little gaps. These gaps can be introduced anywhere in the project, between the specification and the solution,
between the documentation and the interpretation, or between the client request and their actual need. No-one intends to
introduce a bug – but we have to recognise that humans (and developers) will make mistakes. By encouraging a strong core
of interlocking documentation, we PREVENT bugs. Obviously, this is quicker and cheaper than reworking something that
isn’t built quite right.
P e a c e o f m i n d
Of course things do sometimes slip through, so extensive testing is done – mainly to get CONFIDENCE that the solution
will fly (and not just on the developer’s machine!). We catch the occasional issue but there tends to be more butterflies than
hagfish, and we have a very talented development team behind us to sort them out. The type of testing we do depends
on the nature of the system and its intended purpose. We have skills in testing techniques across the board – everything
from system testing to test automation and performance.
H e l p i n g o u r p a r t n e r s
We encourage our clients to look hard at the solutions we deliver. To promote their adoption of the system, it helps to get
familiar with it and prove that it meets their needs. Our team will guide clients through the planning and execution of their
own testing process and supply tools and approach to make this as painless as possible.

Business intelligence across the business
– yeah right!
Key improvements are:
>> Integration: SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) replaces SQL Server 2000 Data Transformation Services (DTS). DTS
provided a limited toolset and was challenging for developers to create complex interfaces. SSIS is a completely new
product and solves many of the problems with DTS.
>> Business Performance Management: Business performance visibility is increased by using Key Performance Indicators
(KPIs) where rich supporting information is used to compare metrics to goals and provide visual indicators of status
and trends.
>> Self Service Reporting: SQL Server 2005 extends ad hoc reporting to business users through a new interface known
as Report Builder, which provides report writing functionality over a business centric data model. This encourages end-
user independence and eliminates requirements for database familiarity.
NEW TOOLS FOR DEVELOPERS
A new development environment separates development tasks from operations. BI developers can now enjoy integration
with Visual Studio 2005. Solution components can be developed and tested before any server deployment. This enables
greater rigor in application testing and increases the speed of the development cycle.
Visual Studio 2005 integration provides a consistent experience for developers encouraging cross-training and extends
existing development practices such as source control, versioning, change management and deployment to BI solutions.
< S M A R T S - T H E I N T E L L I G E N T B U S I N E S S M A G A Z I N E . I S S U E E L E V E N >
Business Intelligence (BI) is a powerful tool for organisations that
transforms overwhelming quantities of data into a meaningful, useful
and valuable resource.
Historically BI has been expensive and undertaken only by larger organisations. The release of Microsoft SQL Server 2005
provides an organisation running SQL Server with a powerful BI platform previously available only to larger enterprises. SQL
Server 2005 is based on the solid architecture of SQL Server 2000 which ensures a natural upgrade path and protects existing
investments. SQL Server 2005 delivers dramatic feature and performance enhancements with minimal investment.
UBIQUITOUS BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE
Excel helps all knowledge workers access, process, analyse, share, and display
the information they rely on to run their businesses. Excel can be used to work
with data stored in SQL Server 2005 Analysis Services.
Microsoft Reporting Services is a complete report authoring and delivery platform
that ships with SQL Server 2005. Many organisations deploy third party reporting
solutions – now SQL Server has its own out of the box.
Microsoft Business Scorecard Manager (BSM) is a comprehensive scorecard and
dashboard application that provides greater visibility into business metrics.
Microsoft SharePoint Technologies can be leveraged to develop a BI Portal using
a combination of Microsoft Business Scorecard Manager, Microsoft SQL Server
Reporting Services and Microsoft Excel web parts.
Businesses of all sizes can benefit from Microsoft SQL Server 2005. Integration
with familiar knowledge worker tools allows a wide cross section of an organisation
to interact with and derive beneficial information from the rich business data
available.

Groovy!!
Later this year Microsoft will release the next installment of its Office suite,
the 2007 Microsoft Office system.
Intergen has been part of the technical beta program for six months and has investigated how the new capabilities
of Office can be used to increase productivity and drive more collaboration.
If you have not heard much about what’s coming in this next version of Office, here is a sample of what’s on the menu:
>> New user interface
The big buzz around the new version of Office is over the new
user interface for the standard Office tools such as Word and
Excel. The interface has been redesigned to allow a more task
centric view of available commands with contextual tabs which
expose functionality relevant to your current selection or view.
The result is an interface which is surprisingly easy to use, and
allows you to get results faster and find the advanced features
that you need.
>> Microsoft Office open XML file format
With previous versions of Microsoft Office, documents were stored
in a proprietary binary format. By default, documents created
in the next release of Microsoft Office will be based on a new
XML-based file format. This will allow documents to be portable
and allow ease of interoperability.
>> Enterprise content management
One of the big challenges facing modern organisations is handling the mass of structured and unstructured information
that is generated each day. By integrating content management and workflow with Sharepoint, electronic content can be
managed and repurposed in a single centralised manner while maintaining the appropriate processes required in the business.
We are looking forward to presenting 2007 Microsoft Office in more depth at our Twilight seminars later this year.
In the meantime for more information, please contact Jeremy at jeremyb@intergen.co.nz

National Dragon Boat FestivalTo the land of ABBA
When I was offered the opportunity to go to north
Sweden in the middle of winter it was logical that
I would need some time to consider if I should go.
After the required 0.1 seconds to digest, the answer
was a simple – “sign me up!”
Intergen was invited to attend the EPiServer partner summit at Åre in north
Sweden and I was privileged to be chosen to attend. EPiServer is the Content
Management solution that Intergen represents in the New Zealand and Australian
marketplaces. With over 1500 solutions based on EPiServer worldwide, it was
obvious that there was going to be lots of opportunity to find out more about the
product, partners and customer implementations and this proved to be the case.
Yes, it was a shock going from +25 deg in New Zealand to -17 deg in Åre but
some pre-travel purchases of Icebreaker thermals made it comfortable.
The absolute highlight of the trip was Intergen being awarded Premium Partner
Status and receiving the International Partner of the year award at the summit
dinner. Intergen is the first organisation outside of Scandinavia to be awarded
Premium Partner status and this is a reflection of the success we have had to
date with EPiServer implementations.
Other highlights were the preview of the next release of EPiServer (due April)
and getting a glimpse into the future of EPiServer. Both confirmed that we have
chosen well and will continue to be able to offer a world class solution ideally
suited for our marketplace.
