The company was started by my grandfather in 1910.
We're manufacturers of footwear
for bushwalking, motorcycle, work, safety...
ROSSITER: We're probably the largest employer of bootmakers in Australia.
We make all of our Rossi-branded products in Australia.
HAYWARD: The textile and clothing industry in Australia
has faced many challenges in recent years.
Overseas manufacturers is also a competition that we've got.
You can perhaps think that you know it all and you know what to do
and you've got it all right.
What we need to do is think about how we could be doing things better
and that's where Enterprise Connect can help us.
The Design Integration program is to elevate the concept of design,
being paramount in the way you're conducting business.
Design also is implemented in how we market our product,
what markets we get involved with.
We're really having to redesign the structure of the company.
Then it's not a matter of Enterprise Connect leaving you alone.
They actually come in and workshop with you and your teams.
They would see things from outside of our restricted industry
and bring some of those ideas in to us.
If we can be sure of what our customers' needs are,
that will enable us to provide a product in the design process
that meets those needs.
If you can get the right product at the right place
at the right time at the right price,
you're almost certainly going to be successful.
Clearly, Enterprise Connect have gone to a lot of effort
to ensure they've got the right people.
People that not only have the knowledge and the skills,
but have the practical experience.
This is about taking our great company forward
and taking our staff with us.
I would certainly recommend this
to other businesses that are considering it.
I'm excited, you know.
We want to make sure that everybody here is excited.
I think that this Design Integration program,
is going to set the company up for the future.
