About Abcom

Jim’s career in I.T. started many decades ago, when soon after completing a Diploma in Accountancy at R.M.I.T.   

  In his early years on the Gold Coast – the rise of IBM & compatible PC’s enabled the business software systems that were bread & butter to Jim, to become available on hardware economical enough to be acquired by even small business users.  

Jim’s software systems were selected by a new McDonald’s franchise that opened in the Brisbane suburbs in 1985.  

  The payroll and accounting systems were adaptable enough to use in that franchise – and Jim’s work with the staff soon identified to need for & opportunity to add specialized modules such as inventory control, ordering, staff rostering, sales analysis etc. for that franchisee.  

The systems were so successful that they became used by more & more McDonald’s clients over ensuing years – and the business - Abcom grew into a supplier of such systems and associated services to the Australian franchise industry..
