Well the New Year is finally here. Time to switch off the holiday relax mode and get back to real life. Everyone at Gruden enjoyed their much needed break. Some opting to watch smokin’ tyres in Canberra where our favourite programmer brought us back a piece of memorabilia. Another did the great infamous Sydney to Hobart yacht race, while others enjoyed the home and beach life. Some are even still surfing it up in Hawaii – hmmm.
This year looks looks to be a busy one for Gruden. Saunders Business Cards are continuing their development and integrating with every system under the sun, providing their clients with a powerful web management system. We’ve continued the development to include the latest technologies available today. For example, the integration with Ariba, Westpac B2Buy and a number of other B2B procurement systems.
Cookieman have launched their new website. Stage 1 of it’s development is now complete and there’s no wonder why these guys are the best in the cookie business. They were great fun to work with and the sample bags of cookies always went way too fast! Thanks guys. Stay tuned for further developments on the Cookieman website.
It’s not long before it’s tax time – again!! (There’s that word we all love so much..) Taxpack is getting some great feedback and lots of interest from overseas aussies. I’m sure it will only increase as we get closer to crunch time. Check out Taxpack for your up to date tax info.
We recently completed the Beckford Horse Trials website. This one was a quick punchout, but none the less fun to do for another of our favourite clients. For a sneak preview, click here.
The Gruden Christmas party was a lot of fun, and drinking… We felt the need to relax out in the open air by the sea, so we headed down to Manly and enjoyed a long lunch and a few quiet drinks at the Blue Door. Thanks to the managers, Mark and Mike, for their fantastic hospitality. We had a great afternoon/evening/morning… photos coming soon.
Apart from the usual on-goings, CBOnline is undergoing a site restructure to be W3C accessible amongst other things. Printbuilder is coming along nicely. Gruden Accounting appears to be making great inroads for small businesses, while the Gruden website still remains much the same as it did 5 years ago – gotta get to that one soon…
Happy New Year from all at Gruden.
