David Allan
Director, InfoAge, New Zealand
David is probably the person you will meet first, meeting with you over a coffee and seeing how we can help you and enable you to work smarter. David will listen to you, understand your issues and suggest options from his extensive experience over the past 20 years.
David graduated with a B.Com from Auckland University in 1994 and has a diverse background in the information technology industry. David has a unique blend of expertise and experience including client and project management, database and web technologies. David easily understands clients’ needs as well as technology, so can effectively ensure you end up with a quality system that meets your every need.
David designed and developed his first commercial Access databases in 1992 which managed nation-wide road marking certification, management of clients for a national counselling organisation and waste sector systems. These databases are still in use on a daily basis today. David began developing web sites in 1994.
David worked as an Information System Improvement Consultant for Auckland City Council in the late 90's where he was responsible for identifying and reviewing business needs, managing projects and implementing databases systems (Access and SQL). David worked closely with staff developing user-friendly systems and with senior management to ensure the Strategic Information Management Plan was successfully implemented. In 2002 InfoAge was incorporated as a company. The client base increased quickly in a few years and today we have over 400 clients. David employed capable, motivated staff to help with development and support.
The business has managed to consistently deliver an outstanding level of service while remaining able to respond quickly to cleint needs by maintaining a small, effective team of committed professionals. This has been one of our successes as we are nimble and react fast to client's changing needs and immediate requirements. David has remained at the coalface working directly with clients to ensure an excellent service and quality product is delivered every time. Customer satisfaction is paramount to the whole team.
In 2005 InfoAge established a Wellington office to support the growing base of Wellington clients. Auckland continues to be a solid market for the company and many other areas of New Zealand we support remotely. David continues working with diverse projects and organisations and successfully continues to grow the business.
David has an active interest in the environment, human welfare and is proud InfoAge is a Not Just For Profit company.
Customer satisfaction is still a key focus for David as it was way back in the early 90's. David's commitment to customers has always been No. 1 and brings much satisfaction to him. David enjoys seeing successful developments time after time and the joy and benefits they bring to clients. It is this that motivates him to remain so involved with the business. In his spare time (he has managed to cut back on working weekends these days) David enjoys time with family and friends, cooking and a bit of travel where possible.
