Adata stream change
By WARREN MARETT Mr Rodger Nixon, a cofounder and a major shareholder of the Christchurch computer company, Adata Software, Ltd, will no longer be an employee of Adata after a change of direction by the company. Mr Nixon will remain a director of the company, said Mr John Moriarty, chief executive of Adata. In addition to Mr Nixon, five Christchurch staff of the company will lose their jobs in the restructuring. “They are some of the people working on the project who don’t fit into the new scheme of things,” Mr Moriarty said. Adata was formed to develop a software product, called Exsys, which was promised to provide a revolutionary method of developing computer applications. Mr Nixon has been trying to sell Exsys in the United States. “That market has been difficult to crack,” said Mr Moriarty. "It would be fair to say Rodger has been running out oL steam.” The company will now be working in two streams, he said. It will be using its strengths to produce data modelling and prototyping products intended for use by computer staff, and will be producing tailor-made systems based on Exsys for companies without computer staff of their own.
