The people at Cirrus Australia are considered to be among the best in IBM software implementation and programming. Each staff member is hand picked for their knowledge and skill level in IBM technology.

100% project success rate
Software implementation projects have a notoriously high failure rate, with some research* claiming that success in up to 68% of projects is improbable.
Cirrus Australia has built a reputation within IBM and among its customers for delivering successful projects. Over the last four years^, Cirrus Australia has achieved a 100% success rate in project implementation, with success being defined as a project being implemented on time, within budget and covering required specifications. It makes good business sense to go with a company where the success of each project is the overriding objective.

Together with these partners, Cirrus Australia can provide products and services across the entire range of all five IBM software brands.

You are fully supported from needs analysis and broad strategy through to project development, practical implementation and the all important post project review and analysis. Cirrus Australia’s pursuit of excellence in all facets of project delivery is evidenced by the high levels of referrals and repeat business from existing clients.
