QLBS.com
QLBS.com provides assessment methodology and software systems to consultants, business advisors, cluster and business managers in public and private sector organizations who want a standardized process for assessing and benchmarking business performance. QLBS.com's Q100 software loads a given assessment, captures the answers, and produces results for analysis and benchmarking. The e-centre is a very pleasant place to welcome our clients and its excellent facilities make it convenient and economical for us to run training and consulting workshops. We also value the bright and airy, open-plan offices; the location where most of us can avoid the central city traffic; Steve’s (e-centre CEO) input into our business. We have made many important links with other businesses and Steve provides excellent networking opportunities through linking us with parties he meets who he thinks have relevance for us. We have had a lot of value also from linking up with researchers from the University. Very early in our stay, Steve Corbett linked us with Kevin Riley and Mike Watson who are part of the New Zealand Business Foundation. We formed a Strategic Alliance with NZBEF which has been functioning successfully for 3 years and has raised the profile of Quantel considerably, as well as providing a clear market niche in the Baldrige excellence framework. We have also been linked with EDX, a business advisory and accountancy firm, which has been key to assisting us to implement good administration and financial systems and providing excellent support and business advice. EDX were instrumental in planning funding requirements and negotiating successful capital raising, which has been critical to our success. Our legal services have been provided by Genevieve Gill, also recommended by Steve, and feedback from other e-centre tenants who also use her services confirm she is an excellent legal advisor. She has formed an integral part of our (outsourced) team and contributed invaluable insights through her IT business experience. Additionally, Steve arranged for a series of sessions with an ex Microsoft Manager from USA who had launched Excel and who affirmed that we had a high value niche proposition and assisted greatly with overall pricing strategy. There have been a number of initiatives, including CEO networking, leadership development programmes, marketing programmes that have all helped in many ways. Recently Steve has linked us with researchers who are interested to publish papers about our work, which is of major benefit to us. The e-centre and Massey University have also become our own valued clients.
