Software
Specialist software companies in the Canterbury region develop a wide range of products, including those used for:
- Inventory management
- Foreign exchange
- Payroll
- Financial services
- Business administration
- Training and learning
- Speech recognition
- 3D flight tracking and much, much more!
There are also a number of companies in Canterbury that are not specialist software companies, but design and develop software for use in their own businesses, such as House of Travel, who develop state-of-the-art software systems that enable travellers to easily search, book and pay for flights on their website.
There are around 100 software companies in Canterbury, most of which are relatively small, with less than 20 staff.
Did you know, the Canterbury Development Corporation estimates than one in every 300 people in Christchurch writes software for a living.
