James Robertson has worked on almost every type of information system. His experience has led him to write numerous seminars and papers that are well respected as sources of new software development ideas. As well as teaching his seminars, he now works at advising companies on how to adapt modern software development techniques to fit specific projects, and how to effectively transfer the new technologies to the software developers within the organisation.

His career started in 1969 when he was part of a team building one of the first Australian on-line banking systems to use a minicomputer as the host for a terminal network. James moved on to head up the data processing department of Time-Life Australia. Here he added managerial skills to his growing portfolio of projects.
Since then he has formed a solid partnership with his wife Suzanne to consult on numerous large-scale projects in Europe and the United States. Among these was the analysis of a television air-time sales system for one of the independent television companies. This was later adapted to become the case study for their ground-breaking book Complete Systems Analysis: the Workbook, the Textbook, the Answers (Dorset House, 1994).
During the last five years his research has focused on the development of object oriented systems, technology transfer techniques, and effective ways of determining system requirements.
James studied architecture at the University of New South Wales, and Information Processing at the New South Wales Institute of Technology. When he is not researching and developing software, James can be found skiing or photographing nature in the French Alps.
