Robert Castaneda started CustomWare in July 2001, just before he left university. Eight years later the company has over 70 staff, offices in Sydney, Melbourne, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur and Wellington and revenue of around $8 million.
The firm specialises in the areas of integration (bringing together different platforms such as software-as-a-service and on-premise enterprise) and collaboration (including the booming area known as enterprise 2.0, which includes corporate wikis and social networking). CustomWare are distributors for vendors including Atlassian, Trampoline and Microsoft SharePoint.
Cataneda's belief in the principals of collaboration and openness is highlighted by the CustomWare wiki on its website, where clients, staff and industry members can discuss technology topics and share information on the firm's products.
