Soricidus posted:it's not that implausible. I had a quick look at the case of finland, as a developed country of similar size, and it too seems to have two local companies splitting the pharmacy software market. presumably it's just the kind of market where this can happen. finland has a giant language barrrier finland could literally be 100,000 shivering people on a single naked rock and the language barrier would still create a market

Notorious b.s.d. posted:finland has a giant language barrrier how about ireland, then? no language barrier, same population as new zealand, right next door to the uk. and yet there's this and this which both look at a glance to be locally-developed pharmacy software systems. i'd guess that pharmacy software is enough of a niche that local companies built up market share long before the us software industry would have been interested in expanding there, and now it's not worth the cost of breaking into those tiny markets for whatever profits they might get out of them.

canadian pharmacy is also dominated by a canadian company, for what it's worth. which is unfortunate, because they're not all that great.

I was invited to do work for 1 week with guys in IT at Weta FX earlier this months and while it was cool, it seemed that Weta was the only big [tech] thing in Wellington. I know Richard O'Keefe probably kicks rear end teaching in Otago but otherwise I have no idea.

MononcQc posted:I know Richard O'Keefe probably kicks rear end teaching in Otago but otherwise I have no idea. He sure does. There's a handful of companies in Dunedin doing good stuff like ADInstuments but it's not a big market. Lot's of jobs in Wellington and Auckland for intermediate and senior positions though. I graduated this year and I'm looking for work in Wellington but (funnily enough) I'm only getting interest from companies that explicitly have graduate programmes.
