farm mapping software, which provide animal feed optimisation
and geographically based farm planning, respectively.
The spun out company, to be
called Rezare Systems, will focus on developing software
to meet the needs of the wider agricultural market. AgResearch
retains ownership of, and will continue to build on, much of the
underlying intellectual property.
Dr Phillip Lindsay,
AgResearch’s Chief Information Officer, says having an
independent software development company focused on the wider
market is an exciting prospect.
“In a company such as
AgResearch it is often a challenge to focus on the needs of the
many diverse pastoral market segments. Rezare Systems will allow
this.”
Meanwhile Rezare Systems
Manager Andrew Cooke says staff in the newly formed company
bring a wealth of experience in applying smart technologies to
agricultural business situations.
“We are looking forward to
working closely with AgResearch in a strategic partnership to
develop new and exciting software which will better meet the
needs of the pastoral sector," says Mr Cooke.
