A UK software firm with strong Maltese links called ChangeDirector UK recently held its first international annual customer and partner conference here in Malta.
The software, that carries the same name of ChangeDirector, is a leading international application for project, portfolio and change management, and is developed and supported in Malta by local leading IT company, Computime Limited, who are also founding partners in the company.
ChangeDirector UK, which was established in 2002, aims to provide private and public sector organisations with a software tool to help them better plan, govern and deliver their strategies and improvement initiatives.
While the sales team is based in the UK, all software development and support is provided by Computime in Malta. Over the past seven years ChangeDirector UK has created a software solution which addresses the requirements of strategic change management, an emerging management discipline.
The company said it now boasts an impressive line-up of international blue-chip clients, a number of which attended and spoke at the Malta event. Organisations such as Accenture, Friends Provident and OutPerform reiterated their commitment towards the software application and had the unique opportunity to discuss and re-commend features which they felt would be beneficial to them and to other customers in future releases of this product.
Computime was also very pleased to welcome to the event various Maltese companies and consulting firms that had previously expressed an interest in the solution.
"The software we have developed addresses a new and evolving discipline, and regular customer feedback is all the more important to ensure that the software meets the current and future expectations of our customer base," commented John Wood, director at Computime. "ChangeDirector and the Computime team work very closely with our clients and are very happy to continue to receive feedback from some of the world's experts in this field. This synergy has helped our project to develop into the product we know today."
David Green, sales director for ChangeDirector UK, added: "This is an important landmark in the development of our company - a chance for us to take stock of our position on the market and with our clients, and also a way of saying 'thank you' to all those who have implemented our software and worked with us over the past years. It is very encouraging to see how our product has influenced decision-making in both the private and public sector."
Andrew Naudi, head of software development at Computime, added that this conference was a unique opportunity for his team. "It was very productive to hear our clients' take on the software that we develop, and to understand how this product is being used to manage large multi-million international projects. The feedback and comments we received from our clients helps us to continue our development work with more confidence in our offering."
