Melbourne, Victoria - 13 July, 2011 - Open Windows, Microsoft Australia’s Innovation Partner of the Year, is proud to be an Associate Sponsor for the only NBN show on the Mid North Coast.

T.H.E Exchange is the first event of its kind.

Open Windows is proud to be an Associate Sponsor for T.H.E Exchange, which will be at C.ex Coffs on the 20^th July. An event that has been developed by Regional Development Australia – Mid North Coast to showcase the benefits of higher broadband speeds and the use of technology to businesses, individuals and the entire community.

“It was an easy decision to get involved” says Adam McInnes, Open Windows CEO. “The NBN means businesses in regional Australia will be able to take advantage of the rapid shift to cloud delivery of enterprise application software. We are supporting the deployment of the NBN because it aligns with our strategy to lower costs and speed up deployment times of our business critical systems for supplier and contract management.

With over 450 Australian organisations already using Open Windows’ software, the CONTRACTS CLOUD now allows these organisations to consume as much, or as little as they want, when they want, reducing the need for internal IT support, expanding options, and drastically lowering the cost of entry.

If you would like to find out more about how the NBN will enable cloud delivery to Regional Australia, don’t miss T.H.E Exchange, and Open Windows’ National Sales Manager Jim Zelener, who will be presenting.
