In Episode 134 of the No Limitations podcast Ripe for Improvement, Blenheim Partners' Gregory Robinson speaks to Pat O'Sullivan, Chairman of three ASX-listed companies: SiteMinder Ltd; TechnologyOne Ltd; and CAR Group Ltd. In a captivating discussion, Pat contends that Australia remains the lucky country with abundant prosperity, an irrepressible entrepreneurial spirit, and stable political leadership. He asserts that Australia is ready for a big-picture vision to galvanise the nation and ensure it succeeds in the decades ahead. Pat speaks at length about his executive role at Singtel Optus in a fast changing and intensely competitive environment, where he learned the importance of building an extensive network of close professional contacts. Pat also discusses his tenure at Nine Entertainment, sharing tales about a confronting interview with business and media tycoon, Kerry Packer, working alongside James Packer and Eddie McGuire, and dealing with private equity suitors. Pat had a distinguished executive career, serving as Chief Financial Officer of Goodman Fielder New Zealand, Chief Financial Officer of Singtel Optus, and Chief Operating Officer and Finance Director of Nine Entertainment and PBL Media. Thereafter, Pat transitioned into a Board career, where he has been a Non-Executive Director of iiNet, Isentia, APN Outdoor, Marley Spoon and Afterpay. Pat was also the Chairman of Lux Group, LocalAgentFinder, and Healthengine, as well as Deputy Chairman of Calvary Health Care. He is currently the Chairman of the non-profit group Dreams2Live4.   Please note: this episode was recorded on 29 May 2024.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Senior journalists Mark Pownall and Jack McGinn speak about the technological innovation witnessed since Michael Malone started iiNet in a Perth garage in 1993. Plus: Cook claims WA ‘missing' on federal investment; Nedlands development extension, and miners confident on clean energy.

Today on the show, we have Simon Hackett, an Australian technology entrepreneur, who co-founded Internode in 1991 , and after growing it to 450 staff, with 190,000 customers and an annual turnover of $180million, he sold it to iiNet for $105million in December 2011. Simon Hackett is a man of many (unbelievable) firsts. He was part of the team that first figured out how to bring the internet to Australia. He was the first person to connect a domestic appliance to the internet. He also took delivery of Australia's first electric vehicle (he wasn't allowed to drive it on Australian roads mind you!) after a chance meeting with an ambitious young man by the name of Elon Musk. He founded Internode, one of Australia's most successful internet providers. In this week's episode, we talk about all this… plus: 

Charlie talks with the co-founder and former CEO of iiNet, Michael Malone. A maths graduate with an early interest in the emerging internet, Michael calculated he needed to sign up 200 clients at $25 a month to allow himself access to the Net in 1993. Working out of his parent's garage in Padbury, he built up one of the largest ISPs in the country with over $1B in sales over the next 20 years, taking on industry giants and even Hollywood studios. One of WA's true tech success stories, Michael is now a non-executive director at Seven West Media and NBN Co, as well as an investor in several startups and tech businesses. "It's pretty special when you're sitting down with an 18-year-old (South African) kid, we were paying 6 times the average national income, youth unemployment was 50% at the time, and that 18-year-old kid can buy his Mum her first house." ~ Michael Malone.

If you've got everything in the cloud and you don't really understand what the cloud is, you could be up for some strife. So, what we're going to talk about today is making sure that you have access to all of your stuff in the cloud, even if you don't really understand it. Learn more about dual internet connections at dorksdelivered.com.au Account Applications One of the main things that people put in the cloud is their account applications. One of the other things that they pop into the cloud is their core business applications, the things they use day in and day out. They don't take into account A) the ongoing costs that it can cost each month. B) The costs of the additional infrastructure to support it. And C) the cost of the downtime because they didn't buy the additional infrastructure. So, one of the things you need to make sure is if you're using business-critical applications and they're not stored locally with some sort of timed guarantee or managed service agreement that you have. You need to make sure that if there's no continuity agreement in place that you have multiple internet connections come to the premises. Maybe you've got one with Telstra and another one with Optus. Maybe one's got Vodafone as a 4G carrier coming into the building and then you've got Optus and Telstra. Maybe one's got five into the premise and the other ones running off a different technology. You want to have them load balancing or in failover arrangement. Back Up Plans Are Great This means that if a provider goes down, you're still sweet because you've got your internet and everything's connected. If two providers go down, you might be having problems depending on how much redundancy you put in place there. However, you're still probably going to be okay if you've gone for a third wireless option in there. The chances of three going down mean you're probably not going to be doing much with your business. The area's probably under water or on fire. Or some other apocalyptic type arrangement that has happened with nature. Don't Skimp On Them You don't just want to go the cheap home grade TPG connections that set you back $70 a month. You need something that's going to be business grade, where they give you an uptime guarantee and back that financially if it goes down. There are plans through companies such as Exetel, Telstra, Internode, IINet, and I know said bad about TPG earlier but there are business grade plans with them also. In Australia, you're going to be talking at about $600 to $1200 dollars for the plan. You might be baulking at that. If you want to be operating a real business and you're wanting to make sure that the infrastructure that you're using isn't going to be going down, you need to go some business internet connections. They will give you the data and the bandwidth and the integrity and the uptime that you require. It's Simple Math It comes down to simple math. If you've got everything in the cloud and something goes wrong, and you've got ten employees and you're paying them $20 dollars an hour each. The internet goes down for two days, which is $3,200 dollars that it will have cost you in downtime just in the staffing costs. Now hopefully the staff aren't just sitting there not making you money. If you're paying them $3,200 dollars every two days anyway, you'd be hoping that they'd bring you in at least $6,000 dollars. So that's not only the outgoings of $3,000 odd dollars, it's also the incomings of $6,000 for a total deficit of $9,000 dollars in two days that could be comfortably avoided by having better infrastructure. The Final Word If you're operating in your mum's garage, it's not a problem. If you go down for a day and it's just you, you can probably just tether to your mobile phone or something like that. However, if you are paying employees you want to make sure that you're going to have your uptime, put that into account when you're going towards a cloud application. You need to be spending more money on the internet and infrastructure. Or more to Japan where you can get the $6 - $700-dollar plans that we do in Australia for about $50 dollars. I hope this has been helpful, stay good!

At Sixteen Corners, they unapologetically create video from an 'audience-first' perspective. They believe no video should ever be boring, nor fail to provide that emotional payoff. This approach is discussed as well as some key projects by Mike and the team at Sixteen Corners.

Over the course of Paul's career he has built and sold four previous companies and has then become an active consultant and non-executive director of some major companies like Trade Me and iiNet. In 2014, Paul McCarney and Danny Gilligan (one of the founders of VC Reinventure) founded Data Republic with a mission to change the way organisations exchange data - to make it safer, more secure and more scalable.This is a complicated area, which we cover in some detail.

Boy, oh boy... all we ever really wanted was to have internet with Telstra. But it seems impossible to get that hooked up. They rented out their line to iiNet and now they cannot get it back. We'll just pay to get a new line installed then. So we'll harass them on Twitter for it. Well, in the end, maybe, it will all work out. There needs to be more happy endings with Telstra. There's more of course.

AJAX is changing the way that users interact with websites - it has the potential to provide richer and more interactive online user experiences but also introduces its own set of usability and accessibility problems. This session will present views from leading usability experts from around the world from an experienced practitioner workshop conducted at the Usability Professionals Conference in USA. We will also discuss key usability issues we have unveiled through our own usability testing of a range of websites using AJAX over the last 2 years. The session will highlight some of the pitfalls and user frustrations with AJAX as well as how AJAX can be used to enhance the user experience. We will present usability and accessibility issues and common user behaviours with AJAX applications. Finally we will discuss interaction design guidelines for developing user friendly AJAX designs. This is not a technical session and will appeal to designers, developers and anyone working with interactive websites or web applications. Tania Lang is founder and principal of Peak Usability as well as a member of the UPA, WIPA and the Queensland Representative for CHISIG in Australia. She is considered one of the leaders in her field and is passionate about usability. She regularly presents and conducts training workshops to increase awareness and adoption of good usability and UX design practices. With over 10 years experience as a UX practitioner and consultant, Tania has conducted hundreds of usability tests and has learnt a lot about online user behaviour and how this has evolved over the years. She has worked on UX projects for Telstra, Commonwealth Bank, Westpac, Suncorp, Flight Centre, iiNet, RACQ, NRMA, Ergon Energy and numerous government agencies.
