acQuire begins

Following requests from four customers for custom-built solutions in the emerging area of drilling data management, Bill decides to build a product for the mining industry.

Bill Withers and Andrew Shoemack were the owners of registered company Metech Pty Ltd, which began marketing a mining software solution called acQuire. The company is renamed to acQuire Technology Solutions Pty Ltd in 2006.

The first office is established and still operates from Perth, Western Australia.
