Directors
Martyn Webster
Martyn started programming in 1981 when personal computers were rare and most people had never heard of the internet.
After completing his BSc (Comp) at University of New South Wales and 11 years in corporate IT (Qantas and Fosters),
he struck out on his own in 1999, forming First Strike Solutions.
Our guiding principle was to make robust and customised IT systems available to specialised small to medium businesses
using Microsoft Access. Many businesses have limited options for affordable packaged systems to manage their core
business operations. Over those years, we have developed systems for many such businesses. We are still finding
niche market segments which are not well served by packaged software.
In 2005, he developed Enquiry Mate for Trainers which is an AVETMISS compliant student management system for
vocational training colleges.
In 2016, Enquiry Mate became part of the jwgecko suite of products,
supported by Martyn under the jwgecko banner.
In 2017, he started developing expertise in online application development and in 2020 released
Steel CRM for beta testing.
