Hong Kong-based GoldQuest International has turned its small mail-order business into a global e-commerce operation - with targeted annual revenues of more than US$3 billion over the next five years.

GoldQuest executives say they have Microsoft to thank for the company's growth.

'We have been a Microsoft user since day one and we have decided to stick with the Windows platform as we continue to expand,' GoldQuest finance director Richard Zinkiewicz said.

'As an accountant, I have no hesitation in saying that this commitment has paid off. By exploiting standard computing technologies to the fullest, we have managed to grow our business through the years.'

The company was one of the first in Asia to adopt Microsoft's new Windows Server 2003 enterprise edition operating system.

Mr Zinkiewicz said GoldQuest's new Windows infrastructure would allow it to handle annual online transactions worth up to US$3.65 billion over the next five years.
