Our offices are highly computerised with a Windows-based network that enables internal sharing of client documents, a contact database and time recording software.

We have our Internet web site www.cbd.co.nz and staff members have their own Internet addresses for e-mail and browsers for worldwide web browsing.

We maintain centralised files of marketing collateral and background information on major clients and we subscribe to most New Zealand business and information technology publications, and to the electronic news service Newsroom.

We have a Lotus Notes-based news features database that enables us to monitor upcoming news features for clients by deadline, by publication and by subject.

We have strong links with outside suppliers that enable us to take on and manage design and production of printed material including stationery, company profiles, brochures, annual reports and newsletters etc. We work closely with graphic designers, photographers and printers.

Web site development is managed at a separate facility off-site from our main office. Once a web site has been created it will be loaded onto the host Internet Service Provider and updates can be made as often as clients require.
