4 Reasons Australia Is Becoming An Enterprise 2.0 Hub

It’s not a stretch to say that when it comes to consumer plays, Australian tech startups have been relatively unsuccessful. Of course there have been some hits (I won’t name any, because I’m scared of offending people who we may leave out) but in the greater scheme of things we’ve been woefully under-represented when you consider the skills and education that exist in this country.

With that in mind, it’s pleasing to see Aussie startups focusing on the enterprise competing not only with global tech startups, but the incumbents as well. Below is a list of some of those enterprise-focused companies that are out there creating a reputation for Australia as a breeding ground of high-quality business-relevant web apps.

Atlassian - Collaboration Tools

Is it a startup? Who knows. Co-founder Mike Canon Brookes feels that it still is, so that’s good enough for us. Atlassian has been the shining light of the Aussie tech startup scene over the past few years. A company that focused on enterprise while everyone else was looking to consumers. A company that focused on revenues and a unique distribution model in order to compete with the incumbents rather looking to traffic and advertising as so many other were.

For those who question Atlassian’s success, the numbers don’t lie:

  • Founded 2002
  • 14,000+ customers in more than 108 countries
  • 195 employees worldwide
  • Headquartered in Sydney with offices in San Francisco and Amsterdam

The fact that the HQ is in Sydney also goes to show that it’s possible to stay local and succeed globally.

While Atlassian produces a wide-range of products, it’s their collaboration tools that we love the most. Definitely worth checking out if you can.

Saasu - Accounting

When you think about business accounting software, the big names used to be Sol6, Quicken, Accpac and MYOB. That was, of course, until MYOB purchased Sol6’s accounting and compliance business and turned the market into a 3 horse race. Now Saasu has entered the market and is gaining reputation and customers every day because of the simplicity of its software, its wonderful customer service and it’s focus on Software as a Service (SaaS) as a distribution method while the big boys were convinced it was a fad.

If Saasu continues its stellar growth it won’t be long before it becomes one of the big boys too. If you’re looking to try it out, there’s even a transaction-limited free version for you to trial.

Affinity by Hiive Systems - Customer Relationship Management (CRM)

CRM systems are a critical component of most businesses these days. There are a multitude of options, including Microsoft CRM, Salesforce.com, Oracle CRM and SageCRM. Despite this, we (at TechNation Australia) use Hiive Systems’ Affinity. We do so because of how complete, yet simple to use, the app is and because of the incredible support your get from the Hiive team.

Again, the sheer complexity of setting up and integrating a CRM system is often the highest barrier to entry for most organisations. Remove that and you have a solution like Affinity which is ready to take on the world.

Ross Dawson, Mr Enterprise 2.0

It would be hard to speak about Web 2.0 in the workplace without including some info on Ross Dawson. Ross is a world-renowned thought leader on the future of business. He regularly does keynote speeches for some of the world’s largest organisations, about the role of Web 2.0 in the enterprise, and has a knack for providing wonderfully simple and visual models that explain complex ideas and relationships.

Having Ross as a resource, locally, is defineilty a competitive advantage for any local startup looking to move intot he Enterprise space.

There are, no doubt, more Aussie startups playing in the enterprise space (feel free to give yourself a plug in the comments), but these guys are standouts.

While reviewing them, certain trends for success became evident:

  1. Make software easy to use
  2. Keep software functional and as powerful as necessary for your target market
  3. Focus on Customer Service and Experience
  4. Focus on innovation and keep looking ahead
  5. Distribution is critical

Simple to say, and maybe even obvious, but the point is that these teams have done this and have positioned themselves to take on software bohemoths - something that was unthinkable 10 years ago.

If the consumer web 2.0 wasn’t really a big hit for Aussie startups, then maybe Enterprise 2.0 will be the driving force behind the local startup industry. In light of the current consumer startup conditions, that may very well be the best outcome for all of us.

Just How Many Internet Users Are There In Australia?

Hey, it’s Australia Day, so I thought I’d check out how us Aussies are going in the Internet usage stakes.

Problem is, it’s hard to get a straight answer.

  • CIA World Fact Book = 11,240,000 (in 2007). The CIA knows everything right? Well maybe not everything…but they do know some stuff. Strange thing is that using NationMaster to track our yearly growth according to the CIA we find that the number dropped by 4 Million users from the 2006 high of 15,300,000. Very odd.
  • Internet World Stats citing International Telecommunications Union = 15,300,000 (Dec 07)
  • Internet World Stats citing Nelson = 16,355,427 (Jun 08)
  • Digital Futures Report = 15,111,000 (in 2007). The Digital Futures Report based on a survey of 1000 households in 2007 found that 73% of respondents used the Internet. The UN lists Australia’s population in 2007 as 20.7M putting the number of users at just over 15M
  • ComScore = <11.812,000. A recent comScore press release says Australia is outside the top 15 countries for Internet users, globally. That means we have less than 11,812,000. Sounds kinda low. I realise that they’ve excluded public access (like libraries) and mobile devices but I doubt that 1/3 - 1/2 of users have libraries or their phones as their only internet access point. Got to think that comScore have it wrong.

So what’s the outcome?

I’d say that we’re probably around 16 Million Internet users. That’s a good number for our population but comically small compared to the potential that exists outside of Australia in countries like China and the US, each with approximately 250-odd Million users each.

That having been said, with such excellent internet access in Australia, the world is literally your oyster. So on this Australia Day, why not have a think about how you’re going to leverage that access to promote Australian startups (whether yours or someone else’s) both here and overseas.

Happy Australia Day everyone!

N Squared - Squared Up For Success!

I recently had the pleasure of spending some time with James McCutcheon of N squared Solutions. James is a software veteran and successful serial entrepreneur so I was very grateful for the opportunity to sit down and gain some insight from him. N squared is his latest venture,  an Australian based software company working on bleeding edge technology.
Despite its short existence (founded in June 2008 by three prominent figures in the software industry James, Dr Neil Roodyn and Nick Randolph) the company is growing rapidly and the guys already count Microsoft as one of their clients…
Disclaimer:
On that note I must warn you, I would like to consider myself technology agnostic but admittedly I am from a Microsoft background and therefore a bit of a ‘PC guy’ (although I don’t wear pleated khakis or tap toe Oxford shoes just yet) and as such a lot of our conversation was Microsoft-centric so I must apologise to the non techie readers and non MS folks for some of the jargon, but in the interest of Australian technology news, I thought it was relevant and chose to keep it in.

We covered a lot of topics and started off our conversation by discussing the history of N Squared and some of the problems they had experienced in gaining momentum including the problem of attracting the right talent in Australia.

I thought we would pick up the conversation from there….

On your point of attracting talent, what are your views on talent pool in Australia; it’s a relatively small market do you think that’s part of the problem?
Well I’m Australian so I am biased but I think Australia has a very good talent pool.  I think Australians are well known for their ability to what we have called here – “suck up princess”:  they just get on with the job.  They may not have the best tools for the job but somehow they manage to wire things together and make things work and get the job done.  There’s that can do attitude that Australia has and I think that’s what makes good developers as well.
Yes you’re 100% right, Australia’s talent pool is very small and you can pinpoint the key people very easily and there is also great competition for those people from different companies; the big end of town the ‘Googles’ and Microsoft have been tracking these people, not necessarily into Microsoft Australia but in to Redmond.  It’s funny, we have good relations with Microsoft and the Redmond campus and we are getting quite a few enquiries from Australian guys over there that want to come home and  are looking for ways to spend some time back in Australia.  We also have a bit of a campaign to attract overseas talent to Australia, we have a couple of employees in the U.S and they are quite interested in how they can work here in the sun and the surf, probably much like yourself I suppose.

Do you think the Australian government could do more to help in terms of developing talent in the areas of technology and innovation?
Oh 100%, it is one of my frustrations.  When you look at Australia what was our strength in the past and is our weakness today is where in the hell we are, we are far away from everywhere.  If we have coal or we have sheep, we have to stick it on a boat and ship it somewhere, that’s expensive but with I.T you just ship it down a wire.  If you’ve got a good pipe running out your country the idea of being able to distribute software means there is no distance and I don’t understand why the Australian government doesn’t identify that as a great potential.

And do you think that applies to start ups in general?
There’s no R & D tax grant, concessions are very minor now – in the 70s there were some great R & D tax incentives but that seems to have totally disappeared now and in fact even now under the current government they cut off NICTA and all that sort of stuff and you sort of think, where is the next level of investment coming from in those type of projects?  I think you have to be careful you don’t waste money either, you don’t want to throw money around but it is frustrating and I can’t understand why there are not more tax incentives around R & D.

Absolutely, and with the resources boom slowing you would think that things like software and the whole information technology industry going forward is going to be a major driver for this economy.
Countries like Israel have done a great job of building that pool and leveraging that and they are now reaping the rewards of that investment.  If you look at any of the big companies like Google or even Microsoft in its early days they all started with ‘oily rag’ situations and were very cheap to start and they created these multi million dollar companies employing lots of people and yet Australia doesn’t have those and you have to ask yourself why not?  Is it because we are not that smart or not well educated, the answer is no we have a great education portfolio here.  The universities could do a lot more to develop the talent pool but all that is just lost in the wind because the R & D is not there any more.  In the past with other start ups I’ve done, I have found it easier to attract money out of the Singapore government than I have out of the Australian government, and that’s just ridiculous.

We tend to cover a lot of web based start ups on TechNation, what are your views on some of these web ventures that are out there with no tangible revenue model?
That’s one of the great things about I.T.; that is a guy with a great passion and a dream can go sit in his backyard with a couple of his mates and something can be created out of that.  A lot fail, more fail than succeed and I do see that there is a lot of strange investment models that people are going into, a perfect example is something like Twitter, a  great service and a great tool but where’s the revenue?  Even things like ‘YouTube’, still today they are scratching their heads on how we make money from this thing?  I’d hate to be paying the broadband bill on that one.

So do you think we are going to see a bit of a sanitising of the whole ‘web 2.0 freebie’ type market over the next few years?
I think so with the way the market the way is.  Investment dollars are drying up and these guys are going to find it hard to attract people with ‘see what happens’ type of money.  I always take the stance that there is no harm in having a dream or a desire to start a business up, obviously N  Squared is a business that is more reliant on physical bodies and consulting but we have developed products along those lines as well, but again it has to come down to revenue.  We are obviously very highly tied with Microsoft and there seems to be some great models around for us to leverage, things like BizSpark.

You have some spent time in the trenches with start ups in the past, any success / failure stories you would like to share?
Lots of stories to share but I have always found that its best to not pre judge concepts and ideas with your personal beliefs, instead make sure you have a rigid set of criteria to judge how an investment is going and don’t let your ego make you stick to a concept that you should have given up on. So never be scared to start something, just be scared to over commit to a bad concept.

One bit of advice you would give to anyone hoping to start a venture?
The one bit of advice would be, to work hard but always enjoy yourself … enjoying yourself makes everything easier.

As far as Microsoft is concerned personally I think there is lots of cool stuff coming from them at the moment, Mesh, Azure as well as muti touch on Windows 7 & Surface .  I think this represents a big opportunity for developers and start ups here in Australia involved in that kind of MS eco system.  Would you agree?
Oh 100% agree.  I’ve always sort of attached my wagon to the Microsoft bandwagon I suppose and I have done that for many, many years.  I have developed past websites in things like PHP and they are great technology sets, so when we talk about the Microsoft model I don’t mean the technology, I mean around the actual business model.   In the Open Source community you can build something really great on it, but who helps you take it to the next step?  There are probably a few blogs you can post on and that is really about it; you are left to your own devices.  Microsoft are only too happy to help you, introduce you and get you into a channel, if you are selling their products then they are happy to help you sell your products and that seems to be a great marketing engine.  I think the future is very bright for Microsoft around technology sets, like you say, like Mesh and around Azure which is a very innovative and exciting space.  I think any new business, such as N squared is, can see the great potential and I think there are some amazing opportunities.  7 as you say is an interesting space, we have multi touch running here and are the only site in Australia that has multi-touch.

..and do you have a surface here, or are you just using the SDK ?.
We have ordered one and are waiting for clearance to bring one to Australia.  At the moment Microsoft is being very rigid about how they get out of the country [U.S].  There are also some rules about how you go about trying to bring one into this country as well, so we have to follow those to be able to sell it.  You know, at the end of the day, we want to be able to resell it and that’s what we are aiming for.

Do you see much of market?  The unit itself is pretty hefty.
Yeah it is, it’s like one of the old PacMan tables,….ha ha misspent youth.

…if you compare it to something like the HP Touch Smart which is similar multi touch type of technology I think, is it?
Erm yes it is, but Surface is more than just multi touch that is something you have to understand with it as well, it has the ability to do object recognition, it can identify things.  It can also have multiuser multi touch which is far more advanced that what the HP duel touch and touch smart actually allows you to do.  The actual form factor of the device is probably going to have to make some changes in the future and I think Microsoft is aware of that.  It’s very innovative and there’s no interface like it in the world and that to us is a very exciting development situation.

I know the mobile space is something close to your heart…
It is, it is.  Absolutely.

Microsoft are perhaps not very well known for their ‘innovation’ in that space, although Steve Ballmer did hint somewhat at the Liberation day about potential new products.  Do you have any comments on that?
I think Microsoft have focused on the enterprise space in the past and have never really focused on the consumer.  In the past , their aim was at the driver, the proof of delivery guy, and they started moving into the messaging world with exchange and to take on the RIM products [Blackberry] and so forth and they have done an extremely good job at that.  The consumer device has not been their strength and I think it is something that they are now starting to realise, that there is a lot of growth and potential.  I think Silverlight is going to the first real play now into that very high, rich user experience. Silverlight2 is coming closer now on the mobile device; we’ve been doing dev on that now for about 6 months.  When that gets out in the real world I think it is really going to revolutionise user interfaces and what you are going to be able to do and use on the devices.

And they will all be mesh enabled as well…
Definitely.  They will be mesh enabled and you will be able to share and move content between devices seamlessly.  It’s funny that things like the iphone have done very well in allowing you to extend your phone by customising it with applications you like to use and people really like that.  The problem is Microsoft has been doing it for about 4 years but just nobody knows how to do it.   In the past, the model Microsoft has been using is to use Telcos as that channel and it just hasn’t worked.  Most people who own a windows mobile device are not logging on to a Telcos individual portal to download apps, people just don’t do it and the whole I –store [I-tunes] type model seems to be working very well.

…and so do you think Microsoft will make their own play?  We’ve heard the rumors of SkyMarket and so on.
There is no doubt.  Obviously SkyMarket is more rumour than anything at the moment, and who knows what they are going to be doing, and obviously there are NDA’s and various things that stop me from saying things but they will definitely have a play at this space.  They’ve got the developer community.  There are far more .Net developers out there than on any other platform.  All they need to do is give them that channel and I think that will open up a lot of opportunities.

So there you go, we did meander a bit and deviate from ‘start ups’ to MS technology and while I can’t claim a scoop it is the best confirmation yet .… sit tight .Net developers, your own app market is coming!  And with Silverlight2 for the mobile on its way, all we need now is for Apple to enable browser plug-ins from 3rd party vendors.

Thanks again to James for taking the time out and we wish the team at N Squared every success with their latest venture.  So Australia doesn’t have a Google or a Microsoft just yet but it’s certainly not short on great software companies or talent for that matter, surely it’s only a matter of time.

Startup Camp Sydney 2 - The Best Camp Yet

Startup Camp Sydney 2 is essentially over (only the investor panel pitching to go) and after watching the launches I think I can safely say it has been the best event yet.

6 teams of around 6 people got together at Australian Technology Park in Redfern and in the course of what was essentially 24 hours created some quirky, some useful and some downright sweet apps.

The projects were as follows (in no particular order):

—-

Activity Horizon

“Activityhorizon is a collaboration born out of Startup Camp Sydney in January 2009. Its goal is to provide a website to enrichen people’s lives in an affordable and enjoyable way, that in turn will boost the Australian economy.”

Essentially the service grabs information about activities that are going on from various sources then aggregates them and maps them. There was talk about making results more relevant based on preferences and preferences of your friends (oh yeah, there was talk of building in social functionality) but it looks like that will be available in v1.1. The website isn’t really working ATM, but I saw the site during the launch, so I’m sure it will be open to the public shortly.

Final thoughts: seemed like a good idea, but it still had a bit of work to go. That having been said, if they can do what they’re aiming to it has a lot of potential.

—-

GiveDo

“GiveDo makes it easy for everyone to support charities everyday. Founded in 2009, GiveDo harnesses the power Google search to drive advertising revenues to charities.”

These guys create a search page using Google Custom Search, for charities. So giving to your favourite charity is as simple as searching on their site (it’s a Google search, so the results are not affected), then clicking on one of ads that appear next to the search results.

Speaking of ads, i think the revenue model is a little odd - the team has put 2 separate sets of adsense results next to the search results. If you click on the one further left the revenue goes to the charity and if you click on the one on the right, the revenue goes to GiveDo.

I think I know why they’ve done this. It’s removed the accounting overhead for GiveDo - i.e. they don’t have to employ someone to handle transactions, then pass on a cut to the charity. It also reduces the barrier to participation for charities as they don’t have to rely on GiveDo for payments. Despite that, I think a less confusing system, for the end-user, is probably needed.

Final thoughts: Something I will definitley use. I’ve always said there has to be a better way for charities to raise money and this might very well be it. Also another great addition to the increasing number of technology sites aiming to help charities. Well done, team.

Three Feeds

“Social Search Aggregation & Sharing”

Three feeds allows users to simply and quickly create social media monitoring tools for keywords of interest. You can add various keywords and have them separated on the actual three feeds page or have results aggregated via an RSS stream. There’s even a widget that’s on the way so you can embed results into your website.

From a company perspective, three feeds isn’t a direct substitute for deep social media monitoring and reporting services but what it does do is make it very easy for companies to start down the social media monitoring path.

Final Thoughts: I’d love to use Three feeds here at TNA. For a while I’ve slowly been working out a way to do something like this for a future TNA feature. I’d worked out a way that would use a few separate tools, but three feeds is so simple and powerful I’d dump all those tools for a three feed in a heartbeat.

My Pet Needs Love

“MyPetNeedsLove.com is dedicated to finding your pet a date. Pets need love too you know. My Pet Needs Love was founded out of Startup Camp Sydney in 2009. The founding members felt the empathy of loveless pets and decided to do something about it.”

Built on osDate, the open source dating site platform, MyPetNeedsLove has been heavily customised to produce what is essentially a dating site for animals. Pets’ details are placed on the site and other animals can organise to meet them for whatever it is dogs/cats etc. do on first dates.

Of course the site is directed at the owners of animals, but the different angle, i.e. making the pets stars, will work well with those many pet-crazy people out there.  That angle will also work well for their business model of selling products and services to pet lovers.

Final Thoughts: As I explained to team member Tyrone - this will either go down in history as a “wtf were they thinking” moment or a moment of brilliant and inspired thinking. I’m still kind of undecided about which way it will go.

—-

Epic Tweet

“Epic Tweet publishes the best of twitter, the most popular micro blogging site. We capture the smartest, the funniest and most interesting tweets as decided by twitterers.”

Ever wanted to cut through the crap on twitter. Well Epic Tweet aims to find the bestf tweets by getting people to retweet epic tweets to #epictweet then having people vote on whether or not they are actualy worthy of the title.

Final thoughts: Good idea, trying to find the most epic tweets, but work needs to be done on the execution. That having been said, it’s a site that people will return to time and time again. Maybe the most valuable outcome is that domain. How was it still available?

—-

iTrafficApp

“iTrafficApp is a simple iPhone application that helps users to drive smarter and safer by providing up to the minute information on traffic conditions and alerting drivers when approaching RTA cameras.”

iTrafficApp is almost like TrafficHawk 2.0 (remember the google map traffic mashup from Startup Camp Sydney 1?). The guys grab data from the RTA about traffic incidents/speed cameras etc. then combine that with crowdsourced incident/speed camera information and the GPS functionality of the iphone to get an iphone app that will be extremely useful to many people.

Final thoughts: I would buy this today. Actually I’ve put my name down for the app already. Another example of how the iPhone is disrupting many industries.

So another great camp, another great group of people and another success. A massive congratulations to Bart and the StartupCamp team.The turnout of people, the support from industry and the increased onsite press coverage just proves that momentum continues to build for the project. All we need now are more startups camps in other cities - maybe Brisbane, which has had rumours of a camp for quite some time but still hasn’t managed to put it together.

The event is not over BTW. The project now moves to the sale of the startups via Auction. Stay tuned for more details of that auction shortly.

Vodafone Australia Trials Mobile Social Network - PocketLife

Vodafone Australia has announced the first local trials of Pocketlife- a mobile social networking app that combines telecommunications with online social networking and location-based GPS functionality.

While that’s pretty nice, the coolest thing is that the app was developed as an independent offering - i.e.the app will work with more than 30 phones and on any network in Australia (and most worldwide). Unfortunately for fans of smart phones, those 30 phones don’t include the iPhone (though there is one on the way) or Windows Mobile devices.

The app is currently (..hmm) free to download and subscription-free with the only cost for most users being mobile data charges associated with downloading maps and transmitting information to friends.

Interestingly, Vodafone has a page about why using Pocketlife on Vodafone is best - but there’s no real incentive to use it on their network (e.g. having data not count towards your data cap) over other networks. No doubt that will change when the app goes live.

It will be interesting to see how Pocketlife goes against existing mobile social networks like brightkite, loopt and even Australia’s own Mig33, but it’s gotta be handy to have the full power of the Vodafone marketing machine behind you if you’re the Pocketlife marketing manager.

You can checkout details about, and download, Pocketlife at www.pocketlife.com
