SAN-2088 CANDIDATE PROFILE: STEPHEN GOULD

I was born in the UK where I completed my tertiary education and started 
work with a US Computer company called Burroughs. 

Burroughs is now known as Unisys after a merger with Sperry.

In 1982 Burroughs transferred me to Australia to develop an Office 
Automation strategy utilising equipment from a new Microcomputer 
company Convergent Technologies, in which Burroughs had invested.

I susequently left Burroughs to establish my own Office Automation 
Consultancy and in 1987 I became an Australian Citizen.

From 1988-1989 I represented the Australian Small Business Association [ASBA] 
on the Standards Australia Electronic Data Interchange [EDI] Committee with a 
brief to ensure that Small Business could benefit from EDI.

In 1990 I was invited by the UK British Standards Institute to advise them
on the distribution of committee minutes electronically.

From 1991-1993 I worked with a number of European Organisations like European 
Customs, the European Aerospace Association and the UK Institute of Electrical 
Engineers [IEE] on Electronic Information Interchange [EII] Joint-ventures.

Since my return to Australia in 1993 I have been working with a number 
of independent IT people as part of the Open Interchange Consortium [OIC] 
to establish projects that demonstrate the benefits of EII for small 
businesses.

I have been involved with Council Information systems since 1994 (ref A: 
letter from Viv MAY 04 Aug 1994) and Sustainability since the 1995 Local 
Government Annual Conference (ref B:  Local Government - Fostering a
Sustainable Future 1995)
