T he work of digital transformation is often said to be capable of rejuvenating a business , taking it from stuck-in-its-ways adulthood to the dynamism of youth . Embodying the youthful side of this equation , Only About Children ( Oac ) is an early learning and childcare provider with more than 70 campuses across Sydney , Melbourne and Brisbane catering for 0-6 year olds . Andy Luiskandl is Chief Information Officer ( CIO ) at the business , guiding Oac ’ s transformation journey at a time of rapid growth .
“ The business has grown substantially over the last 12 months , virtually doubling in size ,” says Luiskandl . “ When I arrived last year , we were halfway through onboarding 25 campuses , and since then another six have joined the group . At each campus we have a Campus Director , educators and team members who educate and care for the children . Oac has more than 11,000 children in its care . With parents and extended family as well , we have close to 100,000 people , give or take , who are engaging with Oac digitally .”
