When Phil Evans decided to form a company after over 11 years with BHP Information Technology, he decided to name the company following Dick Smith's advice, 'brand your name'. So Evanscorp, an award winning company was formed.
Evanscorp is a boutique software development company, specialising in enterprise-grade solutions, which are used globally. Over the past ten years, Evanscorp has worked with organisations such as Accenture, BHP Billiton, Transfield Services, Lend Lease and Ausenco Minerals, along with a number of additional customers from amongst the largest private and public companies in Australia including work with the NSW State Government and the Federal Government.
The company's premier product is Remunerate, an Employee Compensation Management solution for medium to large organisations. Remunerate was developed entirely in-house in Australia and is used by some of the country's leading enterprises. Other packaged software products include Validate (an employee assessment tool) and Passage Planner (a web-based system for displaying port passage plans).
