Catalyst is a fully New Zealand owned company, directed and staffed by bright and intelligent Information Technology experts who deliver critical open source business systems to some of NZ's largest organisations.
For nearly five years Catalyst has been working with Telecom New Zealand to deliver a truly impressive range of mobile services for the country's leading telecommunications provider. The key to the relationship is not so much the technology, it's Catalyst's no-fuss ability to deliver.
Catalyst is spearheading the New Zealand Open Source Awards to highlight the broad range of open source activity in New Zealand and by New Zealanders. The Awards coincide with Catalyst's ten year in business as New Zealand's leading independent open source solutions provider.
Catalyst has enabled the Electoral Enrolment Centre to fully embrace open source from desktops to the high-end applications that manage the electoral roll, and secure communications between the Centre and its field officers.
Catalyst has now had several years involvement with Moodle - an open source Learning Management System, helping educators create effective online learning communities.
In that time we have become Moodle Developers - a status given to only a few - and we have built up a Moodle hosting infrastructure that offers robustness, performance, scaleability and full redundancy via a remote disaster recovery site.
In fact we host and support the Open Polytechnic's Moodle sites, which is one of the largest on-line learning services in the world.
