Kaz rips customer off by $500,000

In a conversation that was held between an Information Technology Manager customer of Kaz's a and an Information Technology Consultant from Kaz, that was NOT reported in the general media, BUT the story was forwarded to a media outlet, it was revealed that a customer could quite easily save $500,000 in licensing and server support if a change was made from Microsoft to Unix server operating system backbone.

A business plan was presented to the customer, to which the customer agreed with. Since Information Technology projects were going through Kaz, as Kaz was the IT solutions provider, Kaz management had to approve of any change to the infrastructure.

Kaz was an exclusively Microsoft shop, and since providing a solution to the customer with a SAVING of $500,000 by NOT going Microsoft, meant that the transaction would NEVER take place, to the DETRIMENT of the customer.


Kaz is an embattle IT 'solutions' provider, that exploits immigration laws between Australia and New Zealand, and provides cheap outsourced labour via a loophole. This low skilled workforce are charged to the customer at a premium rate, but fail to provide premium services

Customers are fully aware of this as the work is sub-standard, and as a result Kaz is the laughing stock of the Australian IT industry.

Kaz was bought by Telstra for $400 million (a money for mates deal), and subsequently Telstra had troubles flogging this dead horse

An article was written in The Age newspaper about the true cost of outsorcing from an anonymous sourcefrom Kaz .
