Infobo was founded by Simon Parry. Simon has been working in the information industry for over 10 years, and has gained a reputation as an innovative and strategic thinker specialising in information driven systems, websites and intranets.

A postgraduate qualified information professional, Simon is particularly interested in the application of information management techniques in web technologies. He has designed numerous websites and web applications, including library, knowledge management, bulk email, legal casework, eCommerce and membership community systems.

He strongly believes in the importance of Project Management, and is a qualified PRINCE2 Practitioner. He has used these techniques to deliver many projects, from web applications to information systems virtualisation and network implementation.

Simon has pioneered the use of website technology in the union movement. Whilst at the Engineers' & Managers' Association he created the first union website to allow members to view and change their details online, and designed the first Virtual Branch, which he evolved at Prospect into the award winning eBranch, a system that has now been adopted by other unions

Simon's expertise was further developed as Head of Information & Website Systems at Prospect, where he led a major modernisation drive for this 120,000 strong membership organisation. This 4 year project saw the development of a new website and intranet as a platform to deliver the new systems, and completely overhauled the way information was handled.

Simon graduated from Sheffield University's Department of Information Studies, completing an MSc in Information Management and specialising in the internet. Before this, Simon was the graduate trainee librarian at Trinity College Dublin, where he learnt about the important traditional library disciplines of organising and managing information. Simon also has an Economics degree from the University of Leicester.
