NetworX was founded in
February of 1996 by myself, Darren Hart.
Having started my first technology businesses at 21 in the
late eighties, and then having done work for some of the worlds
largest companies, as well as a diverse number of SME's in
various sectors, I'm probably closer than I'd care to admit to,
being a "veteran".
I've always been known as one that thinks "outside of the
box". An innovator. Someone who works hard to achieve great
results, both personally and for my clients.
Early in 1996 I saw an opportunity for small to medium
businesses in New Zealand to outsource much needed network
management and optimisation services within their local area
and wide area networks. This business grew to include
significant commercial long term relationships with larger food
manufacturers, primary producers and a host of responsibilities
in the maintainance of key relationships with other
technology providers to maintain my clients levels of
business availability.
That business was sold to a nationwide service provider, for
whom I grew and managed their
business successfully for over 7 years. In that role
we grew a team from 2 people to 12 people and built a
world class data centre facility (which was later acquired by
Fujitsu Corporation)
At a technology level, it was the interest in and daily
exposure to the foundations of TCP/IP
(the language of
the Internet infrastructure) that
first perked my interest in Internet technologies. It was
very early in the piece that I understood just how
pervasive the Internet would become.
In the early part of 2007 I began experimenting with various
Internet related projects, tools and technologies.
These included Internet to cellular network integration,
traffic generation, conversion tracking and search engine
optimisation. I travelled the world, met the experts and
studied what worked and those that made it work.
Today we exist as a "life style business" that
allows myself, my staff and business partners to
enjoy quality time with family, a quality life in a
beautiful part of the world with minimal levels of stress and
time to enjoy important stuff like, family, fun and
fishing.
As such, we leverage outsourcing of resources
internationally, employ virtual staff to perform key business
functions and systemise and automate mundane, but neceassary
tasks, where-ever possible.
To give back to the community, I contribute to a community
services organsation known as Enseer.
I'm also a director of Core-Resourcing.com - a leading edge
provider of personal development resources.
