In
Brief
Happy New Year! We trust that like us, everyone
enjoyed some time away from the office after what was a very busy 2005 for
SyncSoft and most of our customers.
There were many projects throughout 2005,
some of the highlights include:
Ø
The implementation of CAPITAL at the
PSI Group and the launch of CAPITAL’s new imaging and workflow in
production.
Ø
At Pillar Administration we assisted
with the implementations of the Print Public Offer and Allocated Pension
products as well as Fund Conversions for Print Industry and AGEST.
Ø
The release of Product Builder into
production at two client sites enabling letter development, maintenance and
configuration.
Ø
The development of CAPITAL Business
Objects (CBOs) enabling real-time data calls and updates to and from the
database from web-based functions as well as other third party applications.
Ø
Internet workbenches for members,
employers, HR and Pensioners using the new CAPITAL CBOs.
Ø
Significant business and product
features such as Supermatch, Nett Redemptions, BPAY, Government
Co-Contributions.
Ø
Business process reviews for our
Template customers that included solutions in the areas of high accuracy
addressing, archiving, streamlining bulk exit process and electronic
payments.
If you would like to know more about any of
these initiatives please contact your Account Manager.

SyncSoft wins GESB RFP!
SyncSoft is pleased to announce that we were
successful in a competitive bid and formal RFP process for the migration of
GESB - West State Super Scheme from a CAPITAL Template onto the CAPITAL
Package.
GESB went to the wider market and did a full
review of vendors. After a very
detailed review and selection process SyncSoft was nominated as the preferred
vendor. The project is planned to
run for most of 2006 and for the WSS fund to go live later this year.
2nd
Asia
Pacific Pensions Conference HK
Many countries in the region see Australia as a model for retirement savings
and pensions, John Parrent has for the past two years been invited to
present at both the 1st Asia Pacific Conference on Pensions in
Singapore
in November 2004 and more recently the 2nd Asia Pacific Conference on
Pensions in HK in November 2005.
Furthermore, as recognition of the leadership role that Australia plays in the region,
Australia
’s
own Senator John Watson has been the Chairman of both conferences.
For this years
conference, John was asked to speak on the topic of ‘Wealth Management
and Pensions - The Challenges facing Governments and Wealth Managers. The
presentation focused on the challenges in each country in the region and the
high probability that these ‘challenges’ would lead to a period
of continuous and rapid change for the foreseeable future as the population
in the region ages. John’s
presentation also addressed the need for scalable and highly configurable
administration systems to meet the anticipated period of change ahead.

SyncSoft’s
participates at ASFA 2005 Common Wealth Conference
SyncSoft again this year was a keen
supporter of the ASFA Conference with a number of delegates attending the
plenary sessions as well as Karen DeAngelis, John Parrent and Neil
Wright as exhibitors on our booth.
It was great to see so many of our customers
visit us at our booth this year.
At the conference we gave away 300 USB 4 port Hubs. A 4 port Hub
simply converts a single USB port into 4 usable USB ports, thus enabling such
things as USB memory, USB cameras, mouse, printer etc to be concurrently
connected.
In addition to giving away the 300 hubs, we
had in excess of 350 people visit us at our booth and enter into our major
prize draw of an Internet wireless router and wireless card for their
laptop. The lucky winner of the
draw for the router and wireless card was Emma Simpson from Suncorp.
