February/June 2003 – Setup Job Network Business Centres for Sureway Employment & Training Pty Ltd to provide services for the Commonwealth Department of Employment & Workplace Relations. This entailed installing and configuring servers, clients, peripherals and communications (hardware and software) across 11 sights – Broken Hill (2 sites), Wagga Wagga (2 sites), Albury, Corowa, Dubbo, Forbes, Parkes, Leeton, Griffith. We worked in close cooperation with the client, cabling contractor, Telstra, office renovators, office-furnishings suppliers etc. This contract was completed on time and to budget.

April/August 2002 – Provided technical services, project management, hardware and software to Perilya & Pasminco for the transfer of ownership and management of the Pasminco Broken Hill mine. Edgnett’s technicians have an intimate knowledge of the Pasminco business systems and their WAN/LAN setup. This was invaluable to both parties in removing the mine from the Pasminco WAN and readying the IT infrastructure for the installation of new systems to service the site for Perilya mine management. Our contract also involved the collation of Pasminco data and passing it to their head office and the setup and testing of new servers for Perilya. These tasks were completed to specification and with in the (very narrow) time constraints.

February 2000/July 2002 – Provided contracted, on-site IT technical support for Pasminco for their mine sites at Broken Hill and Cobar (Elura Mine) and at the Port Pirie smelter. This included ensuring that all Pasminco IT policies were complied with and compiling internal performance reports. Our contractors worked closely with Pasminco Corporate IT personnel and were kept abreast of all new Pasminco IT developments.

October 1996 to February 1997 Edgnett was the primary project contractor for the implementation of a major Windows NT/Windows 95/Microsoft Office Local Area Network (LAN) installation for Pasminco at their Broken Hill and Cobar (Elura) mines (3 servers and 170 PCs). The integration of the new LAN with the existing commercial and technical computing services, and connectivity to the Pasminco Wide Area Network (WAN) was an important part of the project. In addition to the hardware and software installation and configuration tasks we were involved in the project-planning phase at both sites and delivered much of the formal user training for Pasminco Broken Hill Mine staff. In October/November 2000 we upgraded the Pasminco Broken Hill LAN to Windows 2000 Server/Professional. These contracts were completed on time and to budget and specification.
