David Swindon
Thirty-nine years building the systems businesses run on.
Accounting suites, estate administration, insurance platforms, a bank’s core modules — and, through EADS Direct, the automation and solar systems that keep factories running.
The software
From a Durban accounting suite in 1990 to core banking modules for Trustco Bank Namibia from 2014. Estates, insurance, retail point of sale, education and messaging — around ninety production systems across the span.
The product
Win Accounting — a proudly South African all-in-one accounting solution I designed and built, shipping today to small and medium businesses, accountants and bookkeepers.
The engineering
EADS Direct, registered 1999, with the engineering and solar side running from Ladismith since 2019. Automated CIP washing, pasteurisers, separators under Siemens PLC control, and hybrid solar.
The oversight
Chief Information Officer at Trustco Group Holdings since 2012, and a permanent member of its IT Steering Committee. The same discipline, applied to projects where getting it wrong is expensive.
Tap into it
Whether it is a system that needs architecting, an integration that has to be right, an automation or solar project, or a critical build that needs a second pair of experienced eyes — the door is open.
