VIRTUSOFT

Virtusoft Pty. Ltd. is a web and internet software company based in Adelaide. The company, which was incorporated in 2005, undertook a prolonged R&D phase, working on various solutions to address important internet problems, such as digital music distribution and non privacy invasive search and recommendation applications. Absoft Group has worked closely with Managing Director Simon Edhouse over the last few years, undertaking feasibility studies and analysis of various opportunities. Absoft Group Managing Director Leanne Kemp travelled to China with Mr. Edhouse in 2009 where they met with a number of Chinese internet technology and web service companies. Since that time the two companies met regularly as Virtusoft proceeded to develop a series of Chinese language web services to address evident gaps in the Education services marketplace, and the opportunity to create meaningful 'trusted' brands for young educated Chinese.

Both companies are aware of the crucial importance of providing authentic and responsible services to the users of the new applications being developed and are excited by the opportunity to promote ethical business practices as a key part of  our commercialisation process. Absoft Group looks forward with enthusiasm to the unfolding of a range of new services being developed in partnership with Virtusoft in the areas of next generation advertising, search and recommendation systems.
