Working with ANZSIC Codes


I attended a BOP ICT Cluster event last night in Tauranga.

I talked to Annie Hill of Priority One about the Stay in the Bay portal. A leading software company in the Bay (check my Link to Blogs!) agreed to sign up today.

The problem they, and I have, is with the industry classification used on the Stay in the Bay portal. It is based on the widely used ANZSIC code trade classification. Unfortunately, I do not believe it represents today's business realities.

There are no trade classifications for anything connected to the Internet or the Web. And many other new 'business services' fail to be mentioned. Today's ANZSIC codes should be re-written. And re-written soon.
