Relational Data Systems is a 100% Australian owned and operated software company. We were founded in 2006 by John-Paul Cowling, and quickly became a major player in the Northern Territory IT industry. In 2008, the NT ICT Association honoured John-Paul with the 2008 Young ICT Professional award, for his success and contribution to the industry. Subsequently, RDS has expanded, building a bigger team, opening a second office in Adelaide, and winning clients across Australia. We first obtained our ISO9001 quality certification in 2013, and have maintained it since. In 2013, our team were proud to be involved with the Building Approvals Online project, which was awarded the NT Chief Minister’s Award for Excellence. Then, in 2017, we were a nominee for the Local ICT Business of the Year award at the NT Digital Excellence Awards. Today at RDS, we have a team of 89 skilled professionals located across our three offices in Darwin, Adelaide and Perth. Our team has expertise across disciplines including business analysis, business process modelling, solution design, software testing, system and database administration, software development, mobile application development, software package integration, project and program management, and geospatial information systems. We’ve built a culture of excellence in software engineering excellence, underpinned by the extensive technical background of our whole team, from management staff down.
