Kuhn says she will be working closely with David Spence of Bendigo Bank to help achieve the two main goals agreed for the customer forum during 2005: improved communication between users, and improved participated by users in decision making around product development and management.

GFG's sales and marketing manager Marie Tamplin-Woods says the GFG:UniCARD Customer Forum will be extremely valuable from GFG's perspective, ensuring customers play an active and dynamic role in product development.

"GFG:UniCARD has critical mass in terms of the number of customers worldwide. Going forward, our strategy is not to be a service-heavy development house. We want - and our customers want - a mature, consolidated product with new features and functions introduced to meet needs across the market.," Marie Tamplin-Woods said.
