<h1 style="text-align: center;"><strong>Website as a Service (WaaS)</strong></h1>
<div style="text-align: center;"><hr style="height: 1px; border: none; color: #ffffff; background-color: #ffffff; width: 12%;" /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">AC&amp;E has made a strategic investment into and is building a platform to enable business owners to easily design, build and run their website without the need for a website developer and technical staff to maintain it -- the platform provides a Website as a Service (WaaS) solution to make the process efficient and as easy as possible, whilst making the website (or websites if the business has more than one website) as effective and high performing as possible. The concept is to enable a business to easily procure and operate a website(s) without the hassle of long setup processes and without having to make multiple and complex decisions about technology, such as content management systems (CMS), functionality options, third party software integration, plugins, adaptors, internet security and website hosting.&nbsp;<br /><br />
<div>In the WaaS delivery model, it is Comark Digital that is dealing with the long and complex infrastructure processes and the many and varied technology decisions for and on behalf of the business owner, like any other service that the business can subscribe to &ndash; and by doing so, Comark is liberating the business owner to focus on operating the website(s) with their marketing and sales campaigns, promoting their unique content and serving their customers. WaaS is a way of designing, building and managing a website by subscribing to it as a service so that functional and technical updates are managed by someone else as part of a package deal &ndash; WaaS is especially attractive for businesses that:</div>
<span style="font-size: 100%; line-height: 12px; display: block;">&nbsp;</span>
<ul style="list-style-type: circle;">
<li>resource constrained in both number (amount of staff) and website/digital skills</li>
<li>are stretched with day to day business, tasks and responsibilities and don't have time for their managing their digital presence</li>
<li>don&rsquo;t have the relevant competencies and skills in-house</li>
<li>unsure where to start (if they don't have a website), or how to radically improve/fix their current website (if they have one)</li>
<li>overwhelmed with the variety of website tools on the market, and confused with the variety of technical options in those tools, and the search engine optimisation (SEO) and search engine marketing (SEM) features that they have to consider</li>
</ul>
<div>One of the benefits of WaaS is that the Comark Digital platform is a standardised solution enabling a fast-to-market website for the business owner, meaning that their website can go from concept to implemented (live) in a very rapid timeframe due to the standardisation of the platform. The other strategic difference with the Comark platform is that it can also be configured quickly to the needs of the business, so that non-standard websites can be deployed quickly and cheaply. For businesses that require more than configuration differences, Comark can also be customised to the more complex and unique needs of more sophisticated requirements of other businesses. Comark was designed with this flexibility to requirements in mind &ndash; standardised, configuration and customisation.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>The benefit of a WaaS platform like Comark is that it is quick to get started with, and easy to buy with a relatively low cost and fast time to market. An advantage of this approach for a business owner is that more time and budget can be spent on content and communication &ndash; a WaaS model means that the business owner is able to spend less of their budget on design and technology, so that they can use more of their budget for content, communication and marketing instead.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Comark also enables a business to move or port their existing website(s) - including content and design &ndash; into the Comark WaaS platform very quickly, giving them access to all the benefits immediately. A WaaS platform is based on generic requirements that all websites and businesses need, with the flexibility to add and remove module options as needed, and as the business grows.&nbsp;Some of these generic requirements include, and are not limited to:</div>
<span style="font-size: 100%; line-height: 12px; display: block;">&nbsp;</span>
<ul style="list-style-type: circle;">
<li>user-friendly content management system (CMS)</li>
<li>creative design flexibility (look and feel of the website)</li>
<li>standardised functions such as search, blogs, mailing lists, etc</li>
<li>templates</li>
<li>calendars</li>
<li>listings</li>
<li>eCommerce</li>
<li>campaign management</li>
<li>data capture forms</li>
<li>analytics</li>
<li>security</li>
<li>automation of some settings for search engine optimisation (SEO)</li>
<li>integrations with third-party providers</li>
<li>social media integration</li>
<li>legal demands such as terms, privacy, use of cookies and storing of personal information</li>
</ul>
<div>WaaS is a good option for any business with limited resources, that wants to have a well-functioning website up and running quickly without having to understand all the technical jargon.&nbsp;Comark provides a range of creative designs that can be configured to the needs and wants of the business, enabling a fast-to-market design at a lower cost than retaining their own bespoke designer, or a business can implement a custom design into the platform.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Another key benefit of the WaaS model is the continuous development of the website &ndash; by subscribing to the service, a business owner is able to decide the level of development on their website as it suits them, and also they have the flexibility to subscribe for optional modules at an additional cost to increase the functionality on a month to month basis (meaning they can switch on/switch off the modules based on specific needs). In the early days a business might want to make bigger changes in the beginning when they see the possibilities that the platform offers, and after a while when they become satisfied with fewer alterations, focusing on keeping the website up to date.&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>The other aspect of the WaaS continuous development is that Comark is making technology easier for business owners by automatically keeping the website up to date with ever-changing technology such as browser updates, Google search updates, changes in technology standards, hosting, encryption, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificates, security protocols, social media changes, changes in adaptors, API's and third-party integrations which are essential for the operation of the website, and so on. It is important to note this is not only a time advantage, but also a cost advantage as Comark can implement the essential technology changes at a platform level at a lower cost than if a business owner is responsible for requesting it on their own from a third-party developer.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Hosting is also included in the Comark WaaS service so that you don&rsquo;t have to worry about traffic numbers, harmful attacks and geographical distribution &ndash; Comark employs Amazon Web Services and the Google Cloud Platform as cloud services for a highly scalable and efficient hosting and data architecture.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Another aspect of the WaaS model is that Comark provides advice and support to business users so that they are able to obtain help, advice and know-how easily and in a timely manner. More aspects of the differentiated service and functionality are outlined below.<br /><br /></div>

<h1 style="text-align: center;"><strong>Powerful Modules</strong></h1>
<div style="text-align: center;"><hr style="height: 1px; border: none; color: #ffffff; background-color: #ffffff; width: 12%;" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">You have the choice of adding optional modules that add powerful features to enhance your experience<br />

<div class="col-sm-6">
<p>AC&amp;E is committed to the strategic consideration and thoughtful management of environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues in all aspects when conducting its business, and considers ESG an essential component of value creation and a key driver for long-term success in a constantly changing world and rapidly evolving business environment -- both for its own business, and that of its clients.<br /><br />AC&amp;E is also committed to investing responsibly by integrating ESG considerations into our investment processes across all asset classes. The thoughtful management of environmental, social and governance issues and considerations in investments that we are guiding helps generate more robust returns for our clients and ourselves, whilst optimising the impacts that we and the clients we are working with are making on society and the communities from which we profit.</p>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-6">
<p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/comark-user-uploads/60d83735d73c502be3807911.png" alt="Image" width="262" height="262" /></p>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>Fulfilling that obligation requires us to also consider our responsibility to a wider range of stakeholders in our companies and communities.We are committed to working with our clients and strategic alliances to manage ESG factors in all aspects of our advice, capital and execution activities and work processes, and in the ongoing management of investments that we are involved with through company engagement and ongoing support. We aim to help our portfolio companies and clients navigate their way through the complexities of ESG and the continual evolution of the markets that they operate in, as they build and expand their business models and deliver their strategic roadmaps. We do this by working with our portfolio companies and clients to identify opportunities and to support their processes, programs, and policies in creating value while generating sustainable and responsible financial returns. Where possible we share relevant leading practices and benchmarks as well as provide connections to trusted networks and expertise to capture value and to deliver demonstrable and impactful progress.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>We also aim to establish clear, specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time-bound ESG objectives and goals with our portfolio companies and clients where possible, in order to help drive progress, enable transparency and increase accountability -- where possible we aim to put in place regular reporting on ESG performance with our portfolio companies and clients, and by setting relevant and 'hard' (not soft) key performance indicators (KPIs) we are able to track both their's and our performance against our joint ESG goals.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>We aim to understand the broader impacts of the clients and companies for which we are involved in capital raisings for, and believe that our understanding of ESG issues can improve our opportunities to create shared value for our clients, and so we incorporate the consideration of ESG factors into our due diligence, investment and lending processes. Our approach formalises our focus on responsible investment efforts, raising internal awareness, and providing a common language and set of expectations for our investment clients, lending affiliates, AC&amp;E's strategic alliances, portfolio company management teams and other key stakeholders.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Our policy is that ESG issues are managed like any other business issues and as part of the existing advice, capital and execution processes (rather than treating ESG management as a standalone activity), including the consideration of ESG issues in advisory, investment and lending decisions. As the universe of ESG issues is rapidly evolving and developing, we recognise the value of interacting with and learning from others who share this commitment -- we work regularly with our peers in these communities to help improve ESG outcomes, to learn from each other, and to engage in industry initiatives to drive more responsible investing.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>The AC&amp;E ESG policy is designed to drive us to continuously and thoughtfully approach ESG opportunities, issues and challenges in everything we do, and to identify positive, significant and impactful ESG value-creating opportunities that will benefit our clients and society.</div>

<div>AC&amp;E has also launched a domain management service which is a managed service for owners of large domain portfolios which are either parked or underperforming.&nbsp; The service is provided as a software as a service solution (SaaS), and distinctively works on a revenue share basis to monetise domains (rather than a fee for service basis).&nbsp; The service is a highly sophisticated domain management solution that uses proprietary technology, monetisation strategies and feeds to rapidly optimise and monetise domains, not only by attracting traffic but also by creating repeat visitors to websites and digital properties.&nbsp;&nbsp;The service offers a specific value proposition by transforming underperforming domains (which are usually parked domains, or one-click CPC pages with little or no direct traffic) into rich and contextually relevant websites.</div>

<div>AC&amp;E has made a strategic investment into and is building a platform to enable business owners to easily design, build and run their website without the need for a website developer and technical staff to maintain it -- the platform provides a Website as a Service (WaaS) solution to make the process efficient and as easy as possible, whilst making the website (or websites if the business has more than one website) as effective and high performing as possible. The concept is to enable a business to easily procure and operate a website(s) without the hassle of long setup processes and without having to make multiple and complex decisions about technology, such as content management systems (CMS), functionality options, third party software integration, plugins, adaptors, internet security and website hosting.&nbsp;</div>
<span style="font-size: 100%; line-height: 14px; display: block;">&nbsp;</span>
<div class="row" style="padding: 10px 0px;">
<div class="col-sm-8">

<div class="col-sm-4">
<p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/comark-user-uploads/60e82c30154b416507edb161.gif" alt="Image" width="95" /></p>
</div>
</div>
<div>Website as a Service (WaaS) is an emerging approach to website design, development and maintenance -- most tech-savvy users would be familar with the associated software-as-a-service (SaaS) solutions, which can often be one of the key building blocks of a WaaS solution. In the emerging approach of WaaS, providers offer packages that include website design, development, SEO, hosting, maintenance and security, and most times operating on a SaaS platform.<br /><br />In the WaaS delivery model, AC&amp;E has invested into Comark Digital which is the WaaS provider that is dealing with the long and complex infrastructure processes and the many and varied technology decisions for and on behalf of the business owner, like any other service that the business can subscribe to &ndash; and by doing so, Comark is liberating the business owner to focus on operating the website(s) with their marketing and sales campaigns, promoting their unique content and serving their customers. WaaS is a way of designing, building and managing a website by subscribing to it as a service so that functional and technical updates are managed by someone else as part of a package deal &ndash; WaaS is especially attractive for businesses that:
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<ul style="list-style-type: circle;">
<li>resource constrained in both number (amount of staff) and website/digital skills</li>
<li>are stretched with day to day business, tasks and responsibilities and don't have time for their managing their digital presence</li>
<li>don&rsquo;t have the relevant competencies and skills in-house</li>
<li>unsure where to start (if they don't have a website), or how to radically improve/fix their current website (if they have one)</li>
<li>overwhelmed with the variety of website tools on the market, and confused with the variety of technical options in those tools, and the search engine optimisation (SEO) and search engine marketing (SEM) features that they have to consider</li>
</ul>
<div>One of the benefits of WaaS is that the Comark Digital platform is a standardised solution enabling a fast-to-market website for the business owner, meaning that their website can go from concept to implemented (live) in a very rapid timeframe due to the standardisation of the platform. The other strategic difference with the Comark platform is that it can also be configured quickly to the needs of the business, so that non-standard websites can be deployed quickly and cheaply. For businesses that require more than configuration differences, Comark can also be customised to the more complex and unique needs of more sophisticated requirements of other businesses. Comark was designed with this flexibility to requirements in mind &ndash; standardised, configuration and customisation.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>The benefit of a WaaS platform like Comark is that it is quick to get started with, and easy to buy with a relatively low cost and fast time to market. An advantage of this approach for a business owner is that more time and budget can be spent on content and communication &ndash; a WaaS model means that the business owner is able to spend less of their budget on design and technology, so that they can use more of their budget for content, communication and marketing instead.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Comark also enables a business to move or port their existing website(s) - including content and design &ndash; into the Comark WaaS platform very quickly, giving them access to all the benefits immediately. A WaaS platform is based on generic requirements that all websites and businesses need, with the flexibility to add and remove module options as needed, and as the business grows. Some of these generic requirements include, and are not limited to:</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<ul style="list-style-type: circle;">
<li>user-friendly content management system (CMS)</li>
<li>creative design flexibility (look and feel of the website)</li>
<li>standardised functions such as search, blogs, mailing lists, etc</li>
<li>templates</li>
<li>calendars</li>
<li>listings</li>
<li>eCommerce</li>
<li>campaign management</li>
<li>data capture forms</li>
<li>analytics</li>
<li>security</li>
<li>automation of some settings for search engine optimisation (SEO)</li>
<li>integrations with third-party providers</li>
<li>social media integration</li>
<li>legal demands such as terms, privacy, use of cookies and storing of personal information</li>
</ul>
<div>WaaS is a good option for any business with limited resources, that wants to have a well-functioning website up and running quickly without having to understand all the technical jargon. Comark provides a range of creative designs that can be configured to the needs and wants of the business, enabling a fast-to-market design at a lower cost than retaining their own bespoke designer, or a business can implement a custom design into the platform.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Another key benefit of the WaaS model is the continuous development of the website &ndash; by subscribing to the service, a business owner is able to decide the level of development on their website as it suits them, and also they have the flexibility to subscribe for optional modules at an additional cost to increase the functionality on a month to month basis (meaning they can switch on/switch off the modules based on specific needs). In the early days a business might want to make bigger changes in the beginning when they see the possibilities that the platform offers, and after a while when they become satisfied with fewer alterations, focusing on keeping the website up to date.&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>The other aspect of the WaaS continuous development is that Comark is making technology easier for business owners by automatically keeping the website up to date with ever-changing technology such as browser updates, Google search updates, changes in technology standards, hosting, encryption, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificates, security protocols, social media changes, changes in adaptors, API's and third-party integrations which are essential for the operation of the website, and so on. It is important to note this is not only a time advantage, but also a cost advantage as Comark can implement the essential technology changes at a platform level at a lower cost than if a business owner is responsible for requesting it on their own from a third-party developer.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Hosting is also included in the Comark WaaS service so that you don&rsquo;t have to worry about traffic numbers, harmful attacks and geographical distribution &ndash; Comark employs Amazon Web Services and the Google Cloud Platform as cloud services for a highly scalable and efficient hosting and data architecture.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Another aspect of the WaaS model is that Comark provides advice and support to business users so that they are able to obtain help, advice and know-how easily and in a timely manner. More aspects of the differentiated service and functionality are <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="https://aceinternational.com.au/comark" target="_blank" rel="noopener">outlined here</a></span>.</div>

greenhydrogenisgreentheonlycolourhydrogencomesin

<div>
<div>explore the hydrogen fuel and transportation solution that I briefly discussed yesterday &ndash; the production of green hydrogen using lower cost and scalable modular units, coupled with the supply of hydrogen powered vehicles primarily for the freight, logistics, trucking, manufacturing, agriculture and mass transportation sectors via a financed/leased solution.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Don&rsquo;t forget that the hydrogen does not necessarily have to be classified as &ldquo;green hydrogen&rdquo; for a business case to stack up &ndash; when the hydrogen manufactured is classified as &ldquo;green hydrogen&rdquo; that implies that the hydrogen gas was produced using renewable energy sources through the electrolysis process (such as solar and wind), and so the cleanest and most environmentally friendly option because it does not generate carbon emissions during its production.&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>However green hydrogen can also be more expensive to produce given the cost of solar and wind infrastructure that needs to be installed if the electricity is not being pulled from commission sources through the grid.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>The optimum solution is to instal a hybrid solution that is both green (solar and wind) and also has a backup power source pulling from the grid &ndash; however that then means that the hydrogen fuel is not green, as it is more so classified as brown as it is using electricity generated from coal fired power stations.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>For your reference, besides green hydrogen these are generally considered the other &ldquo;types of hydrogen&rdquo;, which are primarily classified based on how they are produced:</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>&bull;<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Grey Hydrogen: the most common type of hydrogen produced today, typically derived from natural gas through a process called steam methane reforming (SMR) &ndash; during this process, carbon dioxide (CO2) is produced as a byproduct, making grey hydrogen less environmentally friendly than green hydrogen</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>&bull;<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Blue Hydrogen: produced using a similar process as grey hydrogen (SMR) but with carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology to capture and store the CO2 emissions, making the blue hydrogen a cleaner alternative to grey hydrogen, as the carbon emissions are mitigated</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>&bull;<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Turquoise Hydrogen: which is also known as methane pyrolysis hydrogen, is generated by subjecting methane to high-temperature pyrolysis without the production of carbon dioxide, and is considered a low-emission form of hydrogen production, but it is still in the experimental phase in terms of large-scale commercial viability</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>&bull;<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Brown Hydrogen: produced from coal using a process similar to SMR, and is one of the least environmentally friendly forms of hydrogen production due to the high carbon emissions associated with coal</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>&bull;<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>White Hydrogen: produced through the electrolysis of water using nuclear power as the energy source, and is a relatively clean form of hydrogen production, but obviously it is not yet widely used due to concerns about nuclear power safety and waste</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>&bull;<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Pink Hydrogen: generated using a variation of electrolysis that utilises electricity generated from renewable energy sources, and is a clean and sustainable form of hydrogen production</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>&bull;<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Purple Hydrogen: produced through the electrolysis of water using electricity generated from biomass sources, and is considered environmentally friendly and sustainable</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>&bull;<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Black Hydrogen: produced from the gasification of coal or other carbon-rich feedstocks, and is a carbon-intensive process and is not considered a green or clean form of hydrogen</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>&bull;<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Cyan Hydrogen: produced through the thermal decomposition of methane in a process that minimises carbon emissions, and is still very much in the R&amp;D stage</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>It's worth noting that the distinction between these types of hydrogen is not always clear-cut, and their environmental impact can vary depending on the specific production methods and technologies used &ndash; green hydrogen remains the most environmentally friendly and sustainable option, as it is produced using renewable energy sources and does not generate carbon emissions during production.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Anyway, I have a strategic point of view as to the cost of production verses the ESG and carbon credits benefits, which is driven by the type of units being built and the objectives of the end user and regulatory authorities &ndash; there are a lot of value creation opportunities in this space.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<br /><br />=======================================================<br />Businesses spend an enormous amount on marketing to increase sales, however the evidence shows that many struggle to achieve sufficient return on their marketing investments, and even worse, many businesses either have a negative return or are experiencing a continual decline in their return on marketing.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Why?<br />It&rsquo;s partly because it is extremely difficult for marketers to raise their message above the daily clutter of marketing messages that customers are bombarded with &mdash; consumer message clutter has reached an astonishingly high of 3,000 to 7,000 messages per day.<br /><br /></div>
<div>
<h1 style="text-align: center; padding-left: 40px; width: 90%;"><strong><span style="color: #e67e23;"><em>Your business has to get through that daily noise to get someone&rsquo;s attention &hellip; and when you do, to keep it</em></span></strong></h1>
</div>
<div><br />Your business has to get through that daily noise to get someone&rsquo;s attention &hellip; and when you do, to keep it. One technique used by larger organisations is an event-driven approach that has potential to accelerate revenue growth by moving to smaller more precisely targeted marketing and sales contacts using frequently delivered &lsquo;intelligent conversations&rsquo; with customers. Event-driven marketing is driven by customer behaviours and product usage and is triggered by key customer events that signal buying behaviour, potential attrition and general customer needs.&nbsp;<br /><br /></div>
<div>
<div class="row" style="padding: 0px 0px;">
<div class="col-sm-6">
<p>Event driven marketing is based on the evolution of marketing theory and the use of customer segmentation and analytics to improve customer relationships.&nbsp; <br /><br />When done well, the benefits are:</p>
<ul style="list-style-type: circle;">
<li>Improved customer response rates</li>
<li>Reduced time to generate campaigns</li>
<li>Improved productivity of campaigns (ROI)</li>
<li>Greater customer satisfaction</li>
<li>Greater responsiveness to competition through flexible reprioritisation of campaigns&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
<div>&nbsp;</div>

</div>
</div>
<div>An effective event-driven contact approach has the potential to enable a business to utilise a combination of event triggers to identify, prioritise and conduct marketing. This involves a move from traditional marketing approach (infrequent mass marketing campaigns) to frequent and more precisely targeted campaigns delivered through &ldquo;intelligent conversations&rdquo;.&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>What you find over time is that the business has a differentiated contact and value strategies at the customer micro-segment level, and proactive, well timed and consistent inbound and outbound contacts across channels to influence customer behaviours. In addition, offerings become better matched to the customer needs and preferences at various customer life cycle stages.<br /><br /><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/comark-user-uploads/60de973dd73c502be3807f06.svg" alt="Image" /><br />It is vital to ensure that every touch point (every channel) embeds customer insights to enable &lsquo;intelligent conversations&rsquo; with the customer, and to reinforce your business&rsquo; brand.&nbsp; Event driven marketing will facilitate two-way conversations with your customers through a combination of channels over the life of the relationship.</div>

cybercrimeandransomwareattacksreportjuly2021

<div>Australian organisations are seen as soft targets for cybercrime and ransomware attacks which are designed to exploit technology infrastructure vulnerabilities, according to cybersecurity experts who warn the problem will get worse unless government authorities fill the &ldquo;current policy vacuum&rdquo; in a recently published policy brief.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>The report published on Tuesday, 13 July 2021 by the Cyber Policy Centre of The Australian Strategic Policy Institute (ASPI) reviews a range of attacks over the past 18 months which have impacted Australian organisations, including Nine Entertainment, Toll Holdings, various health and aged-care providers, meat processing company JBS Foods amongst others.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>The primary sectors that reported ransomware incidents to the Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC), which is part of the Australian Signals Directorate, in 2019-20 were health, state and territory government agencies, education and research, transport and retail.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Ransomware attacks often involve cybercriminals exploiting vulnerabilities in an organisation's technology infrastructure to steal and encrypt an organisations data, damage internal networks, demand remuneration to reverse it, and potentially threaten to publish sensitive information that is stolen from an organisation's data repositories.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>The total cost of cybercrime to the global economy is estimated to be about $1 trillion by various sources, and so it is prudent that organisations, both large and small, ensure greater defences to prevent an attack in the first place -- every business is at risk, and so preventing the ability for cybercriminals to exploit technology and data vulnerabilities is essential to ensuring organisational resilience.</div>

corporategovernancehowcompliantareyou

<div>As an officer of a company, you will have heard all about Corporate Governance. But what is it? How compliant must your company be before you attract personal liability? How much must you know about the company&rsquo;s affairs before the knowledge of the company is attributed to you?&nbsp; And how long can you plead ignorance as to what is taking place in the company before you have a duty to investigate?&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>This posting covers some of these scenarios.&nbsp; Please note it is not intended to be a summary of the law or legal advice on which you can rely in all situations. It may not be appropriate to your circumstances and if you have any doubts as to whether any of the following is applicable in your circumstances you should consult with your professional adviser.&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div class="row" style="padding: 0px 0px;">
<div class="col-sm-7">
<p>Corporate Governance has become increasingly more important over the last decade &ndash; aimed at preventing the corporate disasters that were the Enron's, the Worldcom's and locally the Teleone's.&nbsp; It is a policy rather than a set of defined rules introduced to ensure companies are no longer the personal playthings of domineering chairmen or company directors able to impose their personalities on puppet directors.&nbsp; As the concept gained worldwide acceptance, companies and indeed even countries became to be judged on the strength or otherwise of its corporate governance policies.</p>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-5">
<h1 style="text-align: right;"><strong><span style="color: #236fa1;">"<em>Corporate Governance affects a company on a day to day basis in everything it does ... all the time</em></span><span style="color: #236fa1;">"</span></strong></h1>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
</div>
</div>
<div>The role of the chairman and CEO began to separate.&nbsp; Non executive directors became exactly that &ndash; non working directors appointed for a particular expertise or network base and to protect minority shareholders and creditors.&nbsp; Checks and balances have been introduced and (in theory at least) each officer is accountable for the ills of his department.&nbsp;&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>No longer is a director able to say &ldquo;but I was not at the meeting&rdquo; or &ldquo;I did not know because I do not work there&rdquo;.&nbsp; No longer does a seat on the Board mean box seats at sporting events or cases of wine on the weekend or free trips overseas.&nbsp; No longer is being a company director or other company officer a status symbol to be accepted for that reason alone.&nbsp; In today&rsquo;s world of intense scrutiny, public investigations and an ever increasing need to hold someone liable, being an officer or director of a company carries with it a responsibility to:&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<ul style="list-style-type: circle;">
<li>The company&rsquo;s creditors</li>
<li>The company&rsquo;s customers</li>
<li>The company&rsquo;s bankers</li>
<li>The company&rsquo;s shareholders</li>
<li>The company&rsquo;s staff</li>
<li>Consumers or users of the company&rsquo;s products, and</li>
<li>Regulatory bodies such as ASIC and the ATO</li>
</ul>
<div>So that any affected person has the comfort of knowing that the company is responsible,&nbsp; properly structured and compliant with all relevant statutes.&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Corporate Governance affects a company on a day to day basis in everything it does.&nbsp; The greater the degree of corporate governance, the higher the rating the company will enjoy.&nbsp; This might affect its share price (if listed) its credit rating with lenders, the type of staff it is able to attract and even its terms of trade with suppliers.&nbsp; It will of course be different for each company but every company will be affected.&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>To ask again &ndash; what does Corporate Governance mean?&nbsp; Stripped down to basics, it is a set of principles designed to avoid conflicts of interest on the one hand and an unfair bias on the other. So in a company which practises good corporate governance, a director is no longer able to divert business to another company in which he has a personal interest to the prejudice of the 1st company. Similarly, a board should now be structured so that a director is no longer able to impose his personal will (regardless of his strength of character) on a company as no single officer should have decision making powers to the extent that he is able to unilaterally drive the direction of a company.&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>But although only a set of principles, the practise of corporate governance has been supplemented by legislation.&nbsp; There are numerous sections in various statutes which ensure that a company is forced to employ sound corporate governance principles.&nbsp; From the more well known obligations that render a director personally liable to creditors if a company incurs credit when trading in insolvent circumstances to more oblique sections which oblige a director to act in good faith and exercise his powers for a proper purpose.&nbsp; On a more practical note, directors are liable to indemnify the ATO for various taxes and superannuation not properly deducted.&nbsp;&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>In addition, directors (and some company officers) have fiduciary duties designed to prevent conflicts of interest arising.&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>So how do you ensure your company complies? Mostly it is a question of sound business practise coupled with common sense and good advice from your professional advisers.&nbsp; Some more obvious techniques:&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<ul style="list-style-type: circle;">
<li>Avoid potential conflicts of interest</li>
</ul>
<ul style="list-style-type: circle;">
<li>Separate and delegate different functions to different individuals - the Chairman should not be the same person who manages the company on a day to day basis, the CEO should not be solely liable for the finances of the company and company secretarial work should be specifically allocated to and administered by a suitable competent person</li>
</ul>
<ul style="list-style-type: circle;">
<li>Put in place suitable management procedures and administration practices which will facilitate good record keeping and sound financial management</li>
</ul>
<ul style="list-style-type: circle;">
<li>Be aware of your responsibilities under the various statutes and particularly under the Corporations Law and Income Tax Acts</li>
</ul>
<div>Remember &ndash; the company is an intangible thing. It exists through its officers and directors. If a company fails to comply with any law or regulation or if a creditor or customer sues the company &ndash; it is the directors and officers who will have to answer &ndash; and if found wanting, could be held personally liable.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Practising good corporate governance is not only about avoiding personal liability &ndash; it is also good for business. After all who would you rather deal with?&nbsp; A company that does practise good corporate governance or one that does not?&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>If you are concerned that your company may not comply or that you are vulnerable to be sued personally for your company&rsquo;s liabilities, fill in the form below to see if we can assist.</div>

Corporate Governance – how compliant are you?

<div>Businesses spend an enormous amount on marketing to increase sales, however the evidence shows that many struggle to achieve sufficient return on their marketing investments, and even worse, many businesses either have a negative return or are experiencing a continual decline in their return on marketing.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Why?<br />It&rsquo;s partly because it is extremely difficult for marketers to raise their message above the daily clutter of marketing messages that customers are bombarded with &mdash; consumer message clutter has reached an astonishingly high of 3,000 to 7,000 messages per day.<br /><br /></div>
<div>
<h1 style="text-align: center; padding-left: 40px; width: 90%;"><strong><span style="color: #e67e23;"><em>Your business has to get through that daily noise to get someone&rsquo;s attention &hellip; and when you do, to keep it</em></span></strong></h1>
</div>
<div><br />Your business has to get through that daily noise to get someone&rsquo;s attention &hellip; and when you do, to keep it. One technique used by larger organisations is an event-driven approach that has potential to accelerate revenue growth by moving to smaller more precisely targeted marketing and sales contacts using frequently delivered &lsquo;intelligent conversations&rsquo; with customers. Event-driven marketing is driven by customer behaviours and product usage and is triggered by key customer events that signal buying behaviour, potential attrition and general customer needs.&nbsp;<br /><br /></div>
<div>
<div class="row" style="padding: 0px 0px;">
<div class="col-sm-6">
<p>Event driven marketing is based on the evolution of marketing theory and the use of customer segmentation and analytics to improve customer relationships.&nbsp; <br /><br />When done well, the benefits are:</p>
<ul style="list-style-type: circle;">
<li>Improved customer response rates</li>
<li>Reduced time to generate campaigns</li>
<li>Improved productivity of campaigns (ROI)</li>
<li>Greater customer satisfaction</li>
<li>Greater responsiveness to competition through flexible reprioritisation of campaigns&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
<div>&nbsp;</div>

</div>
</div>
<div>An effective event-driven contact approach has the potential to enable a business to utilise a combination of event triggers to identify, prioritise and conduct marketing. This involves a move from traditional marketing approach (infrequent mass marketing campaigns) to frequent and more precisely targeted campaigns delivered through &ldquo;intelligent conversations&rdquo;.&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>What you find over time is that the business has a differentiated contact and value strategies at the customer micro-segment level, and proactive, well timed and consistent inbound and outbound contacts across channels to influence customer behaviours. In addition, offerings become better matched to the customer needs and preferences at various customer life cycle stages.<br /><br /><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/comark-user-uploads/60de973dd73c502be3807f06.svg" alt="Image" /><br />It is vital to ensure that every touch point (every channel) embeds customer insights to enable &lsquo;intelligent conversations&rsquo; with the customer, and to reinforce your business&rsquo; brand.&nbsp; Event driven marketing will facilitate two-way conversations with your customers through a combination of channels over the life of the relationship.</div>
