18 May 2006 - JRA is announced as a finalist in the Computerworld Excellence Awards 2006

Auckland, 18 May 2006 - John Robertson & Associates is a finalist in the Computerworld Excellence Awards 2006. JRA is one of three finalist organisations in the category "Excellence in the Use of IT in a Small to Medium Enterprise", selected by an independent panel of judges from almost 30 submissions.

JRA's submission for the Awards is the use of www.survey-online.com (SOL), their online survey application used to conduct surveys in hundreds of New Zealand organisations per year. Survey types of greatest note include the Unlimited/JRA Best Places to Work Survey (NZ's largest employee engagement survey), 360 Reflect (an online 360 degree feedback tool), and Focust (a customer feedback survey tool).

Director John Robertson says the success of SOL has been the result of 6 years of hard work from both the JRA team and web development partners Augen NZ, with whom the credit is shared. "We are proud to have survey-online.com recognised in this forum as the world-class product that it is, and look forward to its increasing success."

The winners of the Computerworld Excellence Awards will be announced at a Gala Presentation Dinner in Auckland on Friday 21 July 2006.
