Welcome to Iconiq

PERTH, Australia. November 2007–

It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to iconiq.com.au and inform you of recent and exciting changes to the way that the SignIQ product will be developed, sold and supported within the Australian and New Zealand markets. As of 30th October, 2007 Iconiq Pty Ltd, a wholly Australian owned and operated business, has acquired the SignIQ business from ImpulseLogic Pty Ltd.

The Iconiq team would like to introduce ourselves, provide background information on the reasons behind the acquisition and outline what this means for our clients, present and future. We would also like to acknowledge the overwhelming support we have received since announcing our plans to acquire the product and its users.

Background to the sale
The desktop version of SignIQ has been developed, sold and supported out of Perth, Western Australia for approximately 15 years. Upon completion of SignIQ version 7 from the Perth office a decision was made by the key stakeholders of ImpulseLogic to shift the company headquarters to California in an effort to focus on expanding market share in the US and also commence work on a thin-client J2EE version of the SignIQ product. The Australian and New Zealand markets continued to be serviced by a small, but extremely committed and passionate team who had each been with the company for a number of years.

In mid-2007 the group now being the ICONIQ shareholders realised that the AUS/NZ users of the SignIQ product range would be better serviced by a company solely focussed on this region and the core SignIQ technology, battle-proven in this market. At the same time ImpulseLogic, based in San Ramon California, were looking to focus on its products in the US and European markets. Through open discussions both parties worked long and hard behind the scenes to facilitate the best possible outcome for our clients.

How will this affect current and future clients?
Collectively, the Iconiq team are focussed only on the AUS/NZ market. Iconiq will increase staffing levels to ensure we continue to improve our already excellent customer service. We are committed to the SignIQ product and will be investing in a number of enhancements. As part of a revitalised effort in the region, we look to visit our clients on a more regular basis as there is no substitute for face-to-face discussion. We also look forward to working closely with our existing clients to help shape the future direction of the product.

At the ceremony held at Woolworths’ Support office in Sydney on November 14th, 2007, Iconiq was awarded best Application Software (including Product Support and Maintenance) amongst well known and respected competition.

Woolworths’ IT Supplier Program is based on the simple objectives of continuous improvement and constructive feedback being provided on the combined performances in the most important areas of their business.

Scoring is undertaken by Woolworths’ contract manager, relationship team, representative IT users, and representative non-IT end users for each area. Reviews are held quarterly with an annual average quarterly rating used to determine the category winners.
