The opportunity that drove the formation of AMS 35 years ago was the introduction of real-time processing to the insurance sector; Noel was a co-founder. Noel notes “We’ve always thrived on innovating within complex environments. From the beginning its been all about the Customers. We’ve always sought partnerships, to help ensure the innovation is practical. Our focus has always been around the best possible outcomes for our Customers, hence earning us the right to a long term relationship. We aspire to “go the extra mile” and then some!!”

Nick says he was almost fresh out of university when he joined the AMS, attracted by its exciting technical IT development that was unique in NZ, including developing its own platform and database engine. Nick believes the core foundations of enterprise level software systems need to be engineered to standards and perform so they remain beneath the consciousness of the enterprise. When he’s not doing R&D, Nick also looks after client hosting at AMS’ datacentre.
