An important addressing issue SAI Global's webshop has moved

摘要

IT'S ODD TO THINK that when Standards Australia first switched on its Internet site in 1996, those of us who built it were very proud of a site that did absolutely nothing. Like a Seinfeld episode - a site about nothing. Today the direct successor to that site handles more than 8 million enquiries every year, and has over 70,000 registered users. In fact, its runaway commercial success was one of many factors that, in 2003, led Standards Australia to divest itself of all its commercial activities, and to refocus on its roll as the national standards development organisation. Among the businesses sold to SAI Global Limited was the highly successful Publishing division, responsible for the marketing and sales of Australian Standards~R. This division had become a very visible online bookseller in Australia, and a global distributor of books in electronic format - the ubiquitous PDF.
