2009 - Celebrating 20 years using Apple Computers

20 years of Apple

SA Group Enterprises began experimenting with the idea of providing employment opportunities in computing for people with a disability in the late 1980s. Using the latest accessible technology at that time the very new Apple Macintosh SE they where the only computer in those days, that came standard with a GUI operating system, accessibility software and a mouse. From these early beginnings we established a business called Inprint Design which has now become an award winning graphic design studio in southern suburbs of Adelaide South Australia.

In 1990 SA Group Enterprises obtained accommodation to establish a new computing business through the generosity and support of Flinders University of South Australia, who provided a small office space on-campus.

Named InPrint Computing then, the business employed only five people with a disability and was the first project of its kind in Australia to explore employment and training opportunities in a new area of computing then called "desktop publishing".

The business continues to use Apple computers along with the latest industry technology such as Adobe CS4 software, Apple Xserve and high speed gigabit networks. The business is not only viable but also pays its own way for accommodation, raising sufficient surpluses to maintain the latest in Apple computers and other technologies.

More importantly they offer employment conditions and wages equivalent to that expected in Open Employment and a working environment which is not only highly professional, but also one that provides ongoing support and training.
