About Us
WHO WE ARE
Digital Summit addresses today’s information, com-munication and technology challenges with an eye towards providing more customers with a productive gateway towards the future.
These challenges are identified as: (1) The converg-ed communication and service infrastructure that will gradually replace the current Internet, mobile, fixed and audiovisual networks; (2) The engineering of more robust, context-aware and easy-to-use ICT systems that self-improve and self-adapt within their respective environments; and, (3) The increas-ingly smaller, cheaper, more reliable and low cons-umption electronic components and systems that constitute the basis for inno-vation in all major products and services.
WHAT WE TACKLE
Developing and building information systems involves a particular type of work incorpo-rating technologies that detain, store, retrieve, manipulate, display or broadcast inform-ation.
The term ‘information systems’ has now expanded to combine many other aspects of information, communication and technology – an umbrella that is broad and covers a num-ber of other fields and disciplines. Work that we undertake and perform normally involves installing a range of applications, designing complex computer networks, building client databases and, when required, integrating design and development of internal and external websites.
METHOD WE EMPLOY
To succeed, a special structure is demanded to manage projects throughout their life – from conception through build to handover and, is distinct from normal line management. Work and information systems we develop that implement client projects we handle typically undergo at least four phases: (a) Initiation – a process defining the need to change an existing work system; (b) Development – the process of acquiring, configuring and installing necessary hardware, software and other resources; (c) Implementation – the process of making a new system operational in the organisation; and, (d) Operation and maintenance – a process concerned with the operation of the system, correcting any problems that may arise and ensuring that the system is delivering anticipated benefits.
Management of all these processes is achieved and controlled using a basket of techniques and management tools which, collectively, tend to be known as structured methodologies.
OUR CURRENT FOCUS
Digital Summit is currently focused on projects that provide ICT solutions for local com-munity development and the broader healthcare and education sectors in New Zealand.
