Peter Kazacos’ latest business, PKBA, has dropped its birth name in favour of a new moniker: Anittel.

Tonight's the night. The third annual ARN IT Industry Awards 2009 are here and anticipation about who will be honoured is high.

IT integrator, PKBA, has snagged a unified communications (UC) contract with ICT service provider, CouncilBiz, a wholly-owned subsidiary of eight primary Northern Territory (NT) Councils.

ICT integrator, PKBA, has won a systems integration contract with Tasmanian shared services provider, Onstream.

PKBA has ousted Datacom to win a contract with the Australian Central Credit Union.

The Tasmanian Government has named a panel of 12 resellers for the Information and Communications Technology Hardware Contract known as C150.

PKBA has won a multi-million dollar contract with tobacco company, Philip Morris, marking the completion of the transformation of the Invizage business acquired by the managed services provider in 2007.

When it comes to his success, Anittel founder and CEO, Peter Kazacos, does not dwell on former glories. And why would he? The three year-old services company is successful in its own right, nabbing ARN’s SMB Reseller of the Year gong two years in a row.

If there’s anyone in the IT industry who knows about starting up and running a successful services business, it’s Peter Kazacos. The founder of the Kaz Group sold the business to Telstra in 2004 for a cool $333 million and worked for the telco giant right up until September 2006.
