Brisbane, Australia – November 23, 2009 Oniqua, a world leader in asset performance management and enterprise analytic solutions for asset-intensive industries was a prestigious finalist at the 47th Australian Export Awards in the Information and Communications Technology category. The award ceromony was attended by Andy Hill, CEO of Oniqua, and Chris Wright, executive vice president of solutions on November 20 in Canberra.
Given the importance of exporting to the Australian economy, the objective of the awards program is to showcase Australia’s top exporters. The winners are role models for the businesses of Australia – demonstrating their drive to achieve success overseas and their significant contribution to the economy, encouraging other Australian businesses to strive for success in world markets.
Andy Hill stated, “On behalf of the entire Oniqua team, we extremely proud and honored to be a finalist of this highly-esteemed award, which acknowledges and recognizes our significant achievements in export. These achievements are highlighted by recent global implementations of the Oniqua Analytics Suite by marquee clients such as BHP Billiton, Conoco Phillips and Newmont Mining. Our success is a result of many years of hard work, a dedicated team and our ability to continually deliver and develop innovative solutions.”
The Australian Export Awards is a national program that recognizes and honors exporters who have achieved sustainable export growth through innovation and commitment. Last month, Oniqua was awarded two QLD Export Awards, including the Information and Communications Technology award and the Dermot McManus Award for Innovation. The company was the only organization to be nominated in three categories, also being a finalist in the Small to Medium Business category.With clients locatedacross the world in the Mining, Oil & Gas, Utility and Transport industries, 80 percent of Oniqua’s revenue comes from export. Oniqua’s international success has continually grown over the past few years as corporations increasingly turn to solutions that have a proven capability to lower operational costs, improve asset and business performance, and increased revenue with maximum profitability.
Headquartered in Brisbane, Queensland, Oniqua commenced exporting in 1995, and has maintained strong and consistent growth over the years. While many large blue-chip organizations utilize Oniqua’s Analytics solutions for their inventory and procurement optimization strategies, many mid-tier businesses are also prominent in the Oniqua customer base due to the company’s flexible and fast implementations, the solution’s customization ability, its scalability, and the new online, software-as-a-service option most recently adopted by Xstrata Copper, Xstrata Zinc and Lihir Gold.
Oniqua’s software solutions now manage over $5 billion of inventory in corporations across 190 corporate locations around the world. The applications provide organizations the unique capability to perform end-to-end analysis across inventory, procurement, maintenance and reliability for system-wide improvements. The Oniqua Analytics Suite can provide granular detailed data for precision measurements, as well as monitoring and analytical capabilities to improve asset and business performance.
