KAZ Group Limited (KAZ) and Aussie Group have announced a five year partnership for KAZ to manage Aussie’s IT&T environment. Under the agreement, KAZ will provide all operational support on a 24x7 basis as well as strategic technology planning and additional project-based services.
Aussie Home Loans was established in 1992, and has grown to become Australia's largest non-bank lender, now providing over $9bn in home loans to more than 120,000 Australians. The Group has a national network of offices and employs over 450 mobile mortgage advisers.
As part of the agreement, KAZ will help support Aussie's national mortgage broking operation, Aussie Mortgage Market, which the Group launched last September.
John Symond, founder and Managing Director of the Aussie Group said: "We want to be in the best position to adopt new technologies early – in order to deliver leading edge solutions to our customers and also to continue shaping the way the mortgage broking industry operates in Australia.
"We were impressed with the flexibility KAZ offered in tailoring a managed services solution for the Aussie environment. As KAZ is an Australian company, we will have immediate access to decision makers as and when required."
Peter Kazacos, Managing Director of KAZ added: "Our new partnership with the Aussie Group sees two home-grown Australian institutions working together. This contract is testimony to KAZ’s ability to deliver flexible IT solutions, giving genuine benefits and competitive advantage for organisations. Aussie can now focus on its long-term strategies, underpinned by KAZ’s role of maintaining and developing its IT environment."
