Business Description: SMS Management & Technology Limited (SMX) is a consulting, technology and systems integration company. SMX specialises in improving operational performance and IT delivery through the implementation of strategy and the delivery of business and technology projects. SMX operates predominately within Australia, with operations also in Hong Kong, Singapore and Vietnam. There are two main business units: SMS Consulting and M&T Resources.
Strategy Analysis: SMX's strategy is focused on achieving both organic and acquisitive growth. It plans to achieve organic growth by increasing sales to existing clients in related services and increasing market share by contesting a larger part of the market. By extending and broadening its services SMX hopes to be able to contest more market segments. Acquisitions are also a key part of SMX's strategy and the company expects to use acquisitions as a means of entering into new specialist service segments. Critical to SMX's strategies is the need to maintain a competitive advantage in attracting and retaining skilled personnel. Geographic growth is also sought by following its clients into Asia and development of a dual shore strategy to augment the existing business.
