November 1st, 2002 by Gruden

Well, well well,….. The time for giving and receiving, spending lots of money on family and friends (and yourself – if your a special person like me), the time for holidays and the time for speedo’s only weather…. oh Yesssss….. Christmas holidays are almost here!!

As you can tell I’m a little excited about the prospect of getting out of this place for longer than 2 days a week, and I guess there’s no better time to tell you that the office will be closed down over the Christmas break between Monday the 23rd December – Friday 3rd January (inclusive).

So onto the fun part – talking about work, projects and the general happenings around Gruden. Supagas is well under way and should have it all finalised in the next few weeks. Supagas required a product catalogue website with a Content Management System (CMS) to administer their products, and subcategories. They also needed the ‘bricks and mortar’ (love those buzz words!) for the ability to snap in an e business module in the future.

The CBOnline website is almost there, I can tell you’re all getting a little tired of talking about this one, but it’s so BIG and wonderful that we’re all so excited that it’s nearing completion that I just have to keep talking about it!! The good news is that as soon as the Data Collection Module is completed there’s more to jump into straight away – so be prepared to hear about this puppy more in future, I bet you just can’t wait!!

Ahhhhh humorless work jokes – how good are they…. So what else – Acuiti Legal are getting some funky new features which should be available in the new year. Our search engine optimisation is going REALLY well. We’ve been trying a few things to increase our position in Google with some GREAT results. Now we’re in the first page for most of our chosen key words – nice hey??

Talking about our search engine positioning, if your interested in reading a little more about this, we have recently posted a paper on Website Promotion. In it you will find a little information on what to look out for and how to get better rankings and better traffic. Yes, yes, save the thanks for later – see if it works for you first!!

The EE-Oz website modifications are almost there, we’re in the process of updating the whole administration system to include the latest and greatest tools for managing your website via a CMS.

And last but not least, the new BANGitUP website is just about there, making some final tweaks and last minute changes for the launch on the 13th of December. All partners who are working on this project are full steam ahead, ready to revolutionise the building industry.

Neoteric tools such as the PDA ordering, builder & supplier website services coupled with supplier enablement functionality all linked via the central product catalogue… OOOhhhhh baby,.. I’m getting excited just talking about it… or maybe it was the sexy women that they have promoting their product – check them out here to get the full story.

Well G-Spotters – it’s that time again… Time to shut up for another month and have you all wondering what the hell is going to go on next month!! (I think I’m dreaming about that one..) anyway enjoy summer, try and get out of work early and enjoy that beach weather!!

Until next time!
