Greater integration and collaboration has reshaped business relationships and this has been reflected by increasing number of integration projects we have undertaken. A number of these integration projects relate to internally hosted applications like [[Mattec]] and [[Intek]]. Others require integration with [[SAAS]] over the internet such as [[Syncada]], [[Transite]] [[Mimecast]] and [[Adaptive Planning]]. Indeed further integrations, collaborations and ''maships'' will continue to drive IT for many years to come.

	I joined WNA in July 2003 having been a consultant on the [[IFS Implementation\|IFS ERP]] Implementation for the previous twelve months. I assumed the role as IT Director although the role was primarily focused on completing and rolling out the [[IFS Implementation]] across all sites. It soon came apparent that WNA had no IT infrastructure much less an identifiable IT department given that at the time, WNA was more of a loosely related group of companies reporting to the same parent, each with their own organizational and IT structure. I saw my role as pulling these disparate IT structures together to enable WNA to function as one cohesive group.
