Introduction to Amcom

After reading through the 2013 Financial Report for Amcom Telecommunications Ltd, my immediate first impression is that this is a strong, innovative and rapidly growing company within the telecommunications and IT industry specialising in:

• Data Networks
• Hosted and Cloud Services
  (I am ignorant – I thought this was just an Apple product eg iCloud with that little cloud icon??!!)
• IT Services

The company has again started the new financial year in a strong position with great results for the FYE:

• Profits up 23% to $20.8m
• Cash flow improved by 10% to $14.8
• Return on shareholder’s funds improved to 18%
• Full year dividends paid to shareholders increased by 10% to 5.5c per share (fully franked)

Amcom has a large customers base in the Government and Mining sectors.  From my experience from working in both, having a robust IT infrastructure is imperative to its operations - makes sense to capitalise on this need and use these industries as a benchmark in terms of what products and services Amcom can provide to its customers.

My thoughts are this looks like a business which invests a lot of time, money and resources into research and development to entrench themselves as a market leader in this industry.

Welcome to my blog....

Wow, I did it! I used to think I was very computer savvy however after trying to set up this blog......not so sure.

I must admit, this approach to active learning and engaging with other students is extremely new to me however I am very open to the experience and welcome the guidance and tips of others (please :-)). I in turn will provide as much valuable input into your blogs and contributions as I can, hopefully we can all get through this on a positive note – and with high grade!

I am a full-time working mother of 2 daughters.  My working background has predominately been in the government sector (health) and I have recently made the move to mining.  So out went the high heels and in with the T-boots!

So again, everyone welcome to my blog and I look forward to learning from you all.
