“As a Darwin local I am looking forward to helping TOWER Software expand its market presence here in the Northern Territory and increasing support levels,” said Steley. “One of my first initiatives will be running regular training courses for TOWER Software’s TRIM Context users in conjunction with our partner Alphawest.”

An IT industry veteran with over 20 years experience as a senior IT engineer, Steley was the IT Consultant at the Menzies School of Health in Darwin prior to joining TOWER Software. Previously Rick worked for Darwin-based IT  consultants, Connected Solutions Group.
