Kiandra

Over the years we've encountered a series of common objections to investing in custom software. Fear of a poor-performing final product is a valid concern but avoidable if effectively designed from the outset. If not planned well, you could face user dissatisfaction, increased costs, operational disruption or even reputational damage. See Kiandra's eight mitigation strategies that ensure your software does what you need it to. https://lnkd.in/gpnuVWkW #kiandra #productmanagement #product

What a way to end 2024! Kiandra got B Corp certification after a multi-year process of reviewing all our operations. As we wrap up for the year, we are delighted and so proud to join the B Corp movement and other companies who have led the way. Our resident B Keeper, Cassandra Wallace says "It's been a mission, but worth it. Quite a lot has changed at Kiandra as a result of undertaking this process... We're motivated for 2025 to bring more opportunities for Kiandra to make a positive impact... And it just feels good to work for a B Corp.' #bcorp #kiandra

🎉 We did it! We're B Corp certified 🎉 As we continue our celebrations this week on becoming a B Corp, we chatted with Kiandra's co-founder Martin Cooperwaite to get his perspective on why this is such a significant milestone. "Consumers are expecting brands to do the right thing. B Corp is a mark of trust and proof that we're using our business as a force for good. Increasingly people are choosing ethical or fair trade products, and I hope to see them making the same informed decisions when it comes to working with services companies ... We're proud to join other technology services companies in Australia that have also become B Corps." #bcorp #kiandra

Martin Cooperwaite, co-founder of Kiandra, is featured as the guest on the Agile Ideas podcast. He takes us from his early days of coding adventure games to leading one of Australia’s top software companies. Martin’s passion for tech evolved from childhood tinkering to co-founding Kiandra with a friend in 1995, starting with local projects and growing to offices across Melbourne, Perth, and Toronto. We discuss Agile practices, responsible AI, and low-code platforms, while Martin reflects on the role of perseverance, collaboration, and a human-centered approach to tech-driven success.

What do you get when you cross your 30 year business anniversary and a LEGO Master? .... Kiandra's origin story in LEGO!  2025 marks Kiandra's 30th anniversary. Many of our followers know our origin story - where Kiandra was founded from a parent's garage on Kiandra Close in Greensborough VIC. Fast forward a few decades and David Velasquez, Winner of LEGO® Masters Australia Season 3, joins our team as a senior business analyst. In commemoration of our 30th, David created this LEGO diorama depicting those early days. Its now a treasured part of Kiandra's history and is going straight to the pool room.
