Infrastructure Projects


Melbourne Docklands Technology Specifications

IA was engaged as part of a team of technical specialists to compile a set of infrastructure specifications for wired and wireless infrastructure within buildings and precincts in the Melbourne Docklands. This project involved research into world best practice, review of existing Australian standards, and development of new protocols and standards based on the evolving Telecommunications market.

Central West Development Adelaide

IA held a Digital Property Workshop with Cavesham Properties to plan and specify the technology and communications infrastructure for a new premium grade commercial building in the CBD of Adelaide. We also worked closely with the leasing agents to develop a compelling marketing position for potential building tenants.

Public Access Wireless

IA was involved in the planning, development and drafting of guidelines and policy regarding public access wireless within municipal areas. Issues such as interference, health risks and wholesale business modeling were explored.

 

Melbourne Docklands iPort

IA was engaged to plan and develop Melbourne Docklands iPort. iPort is a vision to make Melbourne Docklands a high-tech hub which connects Victoria to the rest of Australia and the world at a high bandwidth. The project involves specifying and outlining appropriate high bandwidth infrastructure (both wired and wireless) and identifying opportunities for IT hungry industries to locate their services in the Melbourne Docklands.

Digital River Program

The City of Melbourne, Committee for Melbourne, Melbourne Docklands, Building Control Commission and the Property Council of Australia have formed a working group to explore opportunities for bandwidth connectivity in Melbourne. IA through its role at the Melbourne Docklands has been an active member of this group and a number of initiatives are being pursued in the areas of supply and demand of bandwidth to Melbourne. The aim of this group is to look at ways to facilitate high bandwidth at low cost to the whole of Melbourne.

Denmark: Kulture Net

IA worked with the Danish Cultural Ministry via the Australian Embassy in Copenhagen to develop a web presence and strategy to market Danish Culture into Australia. The online portal included extensive audio and a search engine function and was developed in 1996. Early days of the Internet !

BioMelbourne Network

IA was asked to build on online community and communications infrastructure to facilitate the development of a Bio-Technology Industry in Victoria. A low cost Open Source Content Management System was built and integrated with a communications infrastructure. The site is now self managed by the BioMelbourne Network.

Tax Returns Australia

IA worked closely with Robert Brown and Co. Accountants to develop a fully integrated on-line taxation product for the PAYE market in Australia. This application allows for individuals to submit their tax returns 100% on-line and has been under development since late 1999. IA's role was to recommend appropriate technologies, develop usability protocols, project manage design and construction of the site and also to advise an appropriate E-Commerce and marketing strategy for the company.

Independent Testing Service of Australia

IA was engaged to develop a psychological profiling tool and website for ITSA. This project involved formulating the architecture and infrastructure for a complex, database driven website. The site allows for students to undertake IQ tests with audio enhancement via the online medium through low-end computer configurations from the home or at school.

Melbourne Docklands - www.docklands.com

IA was appointed as the Internet Architect for the Melbourne Docklands portal development in January 2000. A new website went online in March 2000.

Monash (MT Eliza)

IA was engaged to design and deliver an E-Commerce course at postgraduate level to Monash MT Eliza MBA in Melbourne, Australia. A class of over 50 students was given a series of 13 lectures which addressed a broad cross section of E-Commerce issues in the marketplace. The course was delivered with a practical and industry based focus and a number of guest lecturers were incorporated to give short presentations on specialist areas of E-Commerce, including advertising, security, encryption, strategy, banking, e-governance, and legal issues.

E-Medical

IA developed an operational and IT Architecture plan with the client over 6 months. Emedical is now run and updated by a small in-house team and the site includes flash animation, database driven content and a chat facility.
