SmartMatix Ltd is an IT productivity improvement company, based in Wellington, New Zealand, and trading since 2007 (NZ company number 1914264).

 

Everything we do is aimed at maximising value for money from ICT projects, through consulting, capability building, automation, and providing simple effective processes and tools.

Company structure and support

Since 2012, SmartMatix Ltd is just a one-man operation, but supported by a range of superb associates and their companies. We have associates for WordPress building, for very clever C#/MsSQL development, and for scale and cost-effective development, we can fall back on our old partner of years, covalense.com. Thereby I/we can still guarantee operational scalability and provide you surety of support.

Origins

From 2002 till 2007 our team was known as Spade Ltd. Spade expanded to a five people team, who built and refined our process libraries in assignments for:

●         NZ Post (Project office, RUP implementations),

●         Telecom NZ next generation network (Program office, 160 projects),

●         Statistics NZ (CMMI & ITIL improvement projects),

●         A range of smaller development companies and IT departments,

 

all of whom required shorter delivery timeframes, improved quality, reduced risks ...

 

A frequent hurdle we encountered was an inability to quickly put our processes online and have online forums to facilitate discussion. Hence, we needed our own online process library system, so that our customers no longer need to wait for months and months on internal IT to setup an intranet site.

 

Similarly, for years we ran into issues with clients reluctant to buy requirements management tools because they found them too expensive, thus frustrating the staff’s efforts and stalling progress to CMMi level 2.  For that we developed ScopeTracker our bi-directional traceability tool.

 

To address all this SmartMatix was born. Now 14 years later, we have terminated the on-line process library as there were insufficient customers to warrant continuation. It served its purpose well. From here on we will bring out what was in the process library as stand-alone tools and templates, as there remains interest in parts of the libraries.
