The TMN Portugal Youth Rugby Festival provides schools and clubs a fantastic opportunity for children to take part in one of the best youth rugby festivals of the year.

The TMN Portugal Youth Rugby Festival is entering its 3rd year and once again takes place at the magnificent national sports centre in Lisbon, on the 16th and 17th April 2011.

What makes this rugby tournament unique is the excellent standard of playing facilities and event organisation.

The event gives those children attending unforgettable life time experiences both on and off the pitch - rugby matches against international opponents, exciting leisure time activities and great entertainment, all in one of Europe’s most exciting cities with its warm climate and white sandy beaches.

2011 is expected to be as successful as pervious events with not only the majority of clubs in Portugal participating, but also clubs from Spain, France, Italy, Holland, Germany, USA and Canada. As last year many school teams and clubs will also travel to Portugal from England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland.

Steve Scott, Managing Director of Activ4 commented: “We know this event is incredibly popular and given its now entering its 3rd year it has been tried and tested and has become very well established. We are delighted to be adding this tournament to our portfolio, as it has 100% synergy with the sports tours we organise and I am confident it will prove to be very appealing to the many UK schools and clubs we work with, who organise out of classroom sports activities and educational travel ”.

Activ4 are organising several festival packages for the 2011 rugby tournament, which will offer those wishing to attend the option of staying either 3, 4 or 5 nights. Although, should any of the initial options not be suitable, Activ4 can naturally tailor-make and provide quotes for trips bespoke to a team’s specific needs.

The survey also finds that 22 per cent of firms believe that the problem of commercial fraud is getting worse.

Martin Williams, Managing Director of Graydon UK, commented: “Fraud remains a persistent threat to business stability. Although fraud levels typically rise during economic downturns, measures like the 2006 Fraud Act, which was brought into force to improve conviction rates, and the setting up of the National Fraud Authority, appear to have made little impact.”

The research reports that the most common type of fraud experienced by UK businesses is that of fraudulent credit applications. These account for nearly half (45 per cent) of fraudulent incidents cited by survey respondents affected by fraud over the past eighteen months. Internet fraud also poses a significant threat, with 16 per cent of firms reporting that they have been affected, followed by 13 per cent who have been targeted by corporate hijackers.

The latest figures from the Ministry of Justice show that successful convictions brought against fraudsters in Magistrates’ Courts actually fell following the introduction of the Fraud Act in January 2007, from 14,300 in 2007 to 13,200 in 2008.

Martin Williams added: “Many UK businesses perceive, rightly or wrongly, that the police do not place white collar crime very high on their agenda and assume instead that companies will just write off the loss as another bad debt.

“The apparent failure of the Fraud Act to increase conviction rates significantly in either Crown or Magistrates’ Courts means that the authorities need to do more to tackle fraud and prove to businesses that they take this crime seriously by putting a real deterrent in place.

“The Government has already indicated that it is prepared to fight back against the benefit fraud that costs the taxpayer billions every year by using credit reference agencies to monitor citizens requesting benefits. It now needs to show the same level of commitment to address the problem of commercial fraud.”

Graydon UK has identified a number of steps that businesses can take to protect themselves against the threat of corporate fraud:

• Always obtain a credit report for customers and suppliers that does not simply regurgitate Companies House data but one that tracks and analyses unusual patterns of corporate behaviour in order to identify potential fraud
• Never set up a client account until their application has been fully processed
• Always check clients’ trading and registered office addresses
• Be wary of mobile phone numbers and non business e-mail addresses such as hotmail or yahoo
• Check whether your customers have a website when establishing their identity
• Most companies will pay their bills by completing a purchase order from their accounts department - make sure that you obtain a copy of this before sending an invoice
• When dealing with non incorporated businesses, always request original copies of utility bills quoting the delivery address
• Double check all delivery addresses, keeping a close eye on what sounds like residential addresses
• Check whether clients are VAT registered by calling the VAT Office for confirmation

It is also extremely important to flag certain events and details that seem out of the ordinary. Here are some examples of incidents which should alert firms to the possibility of fraudulent activity taking place:

• Is a sudden change of delivery address provided to you by the client?
• Is there a last minute call to collect the goods rather than have them despatched to the quoted delivery address?
• Is the delivery address given by the client shown on the credit report you obtained from your agency?
• Are the telephone numbers of the business you are dealing with fixed line or non geographic such as 0800 numbers?
• Have you received an order on the last afternoon of the month? Fraudsters, like credit managers, understand the pressure from the Sales Department!
• Look out for unusually large orders placed at the start of a new month, where a fraudster will anticipate that they have the longest timeframe before you chase for payment.
• Have you received a large first time order on a credit card? If so, be wary.

VeContact triggers timed remarketing email campaigns to those abandoned leads recovered by VeCapture. With Black Friday and Cyber Monday approaching in the States, to be followed by the Christmas retail spike across the UK and Europe as well, international ecommerce merchants are looking for all the help they can get to fully cope with the expected influx of traffic, to be able to convert visitors into paying customers.

VeCapture and VeContact Lite provide a one stop solution to the massive issue of online abandonment, which is of the biggest ecommerce concerns there is. Shopping cart abandonment statistics are high, starting at 60 percent of all commenced transactions according to Marketing Sherpa and this is only increasing thanks to comparison shopping, and the sheer wealth of distracting choice online. However, recovery of abandoned visitors can be highly lucrative because these are visitors who have already shown interest in a site's products or services. Therefore being able to recover abandoned transaction data for sensitive remarketing purposes can result in re-engaged customers who then begin the path to conversion.

Explained David Brown, CEO of Ve Interactive, “recovering abandonment metrics has a direct impact on business goals like increasing revenue and growing market share, and VeCapture provides a tiered, easy to implement, one stop solution for this, for all sizes of ecommerce sites.”

Installation of VeCapture has been designed to be very straightforward (to accomodate any non technical web site owners), from a user just copying and pasting JavaScript code generated by Ve Interactive on to their site, (VeCapture Lite and Advanced), through to an Enterprise solution for those clients who wish to have their data hosted within their own networks. All versions come with VeContact Lite software that abandoned data can be fed into. This then creates seamless remarketing email campaigns. The flexibility of email also means that brands can customise their remarketing messages from content to frequency and so orchestrate sequenced remarketing communications.

AEG PS will design and supply its solution TKS-C, shelter containing: Solar Inverter, monitoring and supervising equipment, transformer and medium voltage switchgear. Being part of the balance of electrical system (“BOS”), AEG PS supplies further Combiner boxes and the PV power monitoring and control solution AEG Power Solutions will commission the equipment on site.

“We were awarded this contract because we could provide the complete solutions with a combination of premium equipment, the Protect PV.250 and PV.500 with leading edge supervision and monitoring solutions, through our skytron subsidiary”, comments Enrique de la Cruz, Vice President of the Solar Division of AEG Power Solutions. “Our alliance with skytron has created positive synergies and allows us to offer attractive solutions to EPCs.”

The inverter used in this solution will initially be the Protect PV.250, renowned for its premium efficiency, and in the second phase of the project, the next product in the Protect line, the Protect PV.500. The Protect PV.250 is experiencing a constant demand growth since its launched one year ago. “Currently sales for this product are far exceeding initial targets, we have already installed more than 13 MW and plan to install a further 60 MW for the year,” explains de La Cruz, “components shortages are our immediate challenge, as with most of our competitors.”

AEG PS started developing solar products and solutions based on its sound power electronics knowldege two years ago leveraging its recognized expertise in power control solutions for the poly silicon industry. Since then, the company has been implementing its strategy to develop a position in the renewable energies business and capture meaningful profitable growth opportunities especially in the promising solar end markets. The global market for large PV inverters in the range of Protect PV.250 & PV.500 are expected to grow by 40% over the next three years.

“We see a growing interest in more countries adopting feed in tariffs to build up local experience and knowledge. For example, the UK recently adopted an attractive tariff and it is expected Lithuania will also 2 introduce a feed in tariff regime in the next couple of months. , As some traditionally attractive countries like Germany decrease their tariffs, these more mature markets are showing more focus on utility scale PV Power Plants to support grid infrastructure, where we have focus our premium offering.

WDH, who became the largest single housing stock transfer organisation in 2005, has responsibility for over 31,000 homes lived in by over 100,000 people and are the fifth largest housing organisation in England. With a wide range of housing types from sheltered housing to high rise communities and a £720 million improvement scheme running until 2012, the survey function is a key element of the WDH success story.

The systems used by survey teams, in the field, are therefore central to the delivery of the high standards WDH demands. As an existing PDA solution used by the department was unable to integrate with WDH’s Housing Management system, it was decided to identify a new mobile solution which had proven integration links to the back-office and which was flexible enough to allow electronic forms to be created internally. This would not only improve the systems used in surveying operation but would also enable WDH to take the first step towards identifying a scalable, enterprise-wide solution that ultimately could be rolled out across multiple disciplines including: responsive repairs, maintenance and inspections. After an extensive review of the market and a rigorous evaluation process WDH chose 1st Touch.

1st Touch applications can bring significant efficiencies and productivity increases to any application where field based operatives provide services. 1st Touch has already won widespread acclaim in the social housing market where the software manages, supports and control all aspects of mobile operatives’ activities. The resilient but flexible system enables easy, programming-free, user-customisable PDA based solutions to be created through its easy to use graphical interface and is specifically designed to simplify handheld form design and data capture. Any type of electronic form can be generated without the need for Business Process Mapping. 1st Touch has also developed high quality integration with most of the leading housing management systems used by local authority housing organisations and ALMOs.

Louise Muirhead, Senior Business Analyst at WDH felt that these features were a major factor in the decision to choose 1st Touch, noting, “We needed to identify a new mobile solution for the surveying function first of all, as the existing PDA system we had used for this function was not able to integrate with our back-office system. In addition, we still had some forms and spreadsheets that were paper based and we needed all this information to be integrated, accessible and viewable in one single location. We chose 1st Touch to meet these requirements.

“Having seen the system in use at a reference site visit we were impressed by the easy to use mobile application builder with a graphical interface that allows the design, creation and modification of forms; without having to return to the supplier and pay more. There was also a proven integration with our existing Housing Management system.

"However, the most influential factor was when we ran 1st Touch on our real-time test environment. 1st Touch performed well and proved the integration throughout exhaustive testing. We were also impressed by the 1st Touch approach as their staff appeared highly motivated to work closely in partnership with us at our offices. With such a clear proof of concept in hand, coupled with a very effective working relationship, we decided to start implementing the system with our survey department. Ultimately though, we can see how 1st Touch can be easily rolled out across WDH to areas such as responsive repairs, maintenance and inspections. In all, we envisage that over 200 operatives might ultimately use it. This would help us achieve significant productivity gains and to improve efficiency right across the organisation.”

Colin Hare, Business Systems Manager at WDH, emphasised the WDH commitment to continuous improvement and customer service, adding, “Our record level of tenant satisfaction illustrates WDH’s commitment to providing high-quality services to tenants, to ensure everything we do is done professionally and that we go that extra mile to meet the needs of tenants.

In addition, WDH aims to exceed the standards of the ‘Decent Homes Initiative’ and, with other government directives to fulfil such as ‘Warmer Greener Homes”, we are always considering ways of improving all aspects of our operations. A key element of this is the use of technology and we are aware of the considerable benefits and efficiency savings that mobile technology can bring to both our surveying function and to WDH as a whole. We look forward to working closely with 1st Touch as we examine these benefits across disciplines.”

Robert Dent, CEO of 1st Touch welcomed these comments adding, “As one of the largest housing organisations in England, getting things right for tenants is all important. WDH has an excellent and proven track record in achieving this. However, in the current economic climate, maintaining high standards is going to be a challenge. By evaluating the considerable productivity benefits and efficiency savings that mobile technology can bring across the enterprise, WDH is demonstrating their commitment to investing in the future. It is the tenants of course who are rightly the ultimate beneficiary. “

Wick Hill/Panasonic release: September 2nd, 2010 - Panasonic has signalled a major expansion into the growing voice/data convergence market with the appointment of value added distributor Wick Hill in the UK and Germany. The distributor will spearhead business sales of Panasonic’s unified comms office solutions through the channel.

Stephen Gerrard, UK Country Marketing Manager, said: “Panasonic took the initiative earlier this year to merge its disparate systems and solutions business units into a single 'converged' business domain, now known as PSNE (Panasonic System Networks Europe). The new Panasonic company focuses on the development and provisioning of systems over IP infrastructures.

“Starting from a market leading position in both the business voice communications market and the video surveillance market , (as well as a significant presence in document imaging and printing), Panasonic is leveraging its global expertise in both audio and video applications to break new ground in applications integration and convergence over enterprise IP infrastructures. We believe that Wick Hill has the experience and commitment to help us grow the market in this area.”

This move also represents a significant further expansion into the convergence market for VAD Wick Hill, a leading IP infrastructure specialist which has successfully diversified into unified comms and whose portfolio now includes telecoms and converged solutions suppliers such as Samsung, Gamma Telecom and Oak, as well as security stalwarts such as WatchGuard and Check Point.

Ian Kilpatrick, chairman Wick Hill Group, commented: “We are delighted to be working with a market leader like Panasonic, which has such a depth of experience in the communications market and a well-developed, comprehensive range of unified comms solutions for business.

“This appointment is an important investment for us in our continued drive into convergence and our ongoing strategy to deliver solutions that voice and data resellers can sell and implement. Our channel partners will be able to provide solutions that offer end users immediate tactical benefits, as well as forming a key part of a future move into broader unified comms.”

Panasonic’s Office Communications Solutions
Wick Hill will provide Panasonic’s range of office communications products, but will focus on the Panasonic Network Communications Platform (KX-NCP), a range of business communications solutions primarily for SMEs. These allow companies to easily implement unified comms, providing innovative IP telephony features and functionality over both local office and broadband managed IP networks.

The KX-NCP range offers full business communications features, built-in advanced applications, and a choice of fixed, mobile and advanced touch screen IP terminals.
It makes it easy for staff to always stay in touch and improves team productivity by using applications integrated with the communications solution.

The range facilitates increased mobility and remote working and can improve responsiveness to customers through the use of integrated applications, which speed up and monitor customer service levels. It also provides the opportunity to reduce costs through converged communications for voice and data, using integrated SIP telephony services.

Growth of unified comms and convergence
Research company MZA reported1 that the total UC applications market in the UK was valued at GBP 178 million (end user level) for 2009 and would rise to GBP 402 million in 2014. MZA’s definition of unified comms was ‘Conferencing and Messaging.’ Included in this were web, video and audio conferencing, as well as voice mail, unified messaging and enterprise instant messaging.

These figures, however, would increase significantly, according to Stephen Gerrard, UK Country Marketing Manager for Panasonic, if you use the umbrella term ‘convergence’, of which unified comms is part. Gerrard reckons the figures could increase fourfold, to a potential market of around GBP 1.6 billion plus by 2014.

Everyone has a different definition of convergence, but Gerrard takes the term to include any aspect of corporate activity which requires a signal or message to be sent from point A to point B, so theoretically could be 'Converged' onto an IP infrastructure.

That means elements such as IP video security, access control, facilities management and building management services, (i.e. lighting, heating, air conditioning, fire alarms, smoke detection, etc.) over the corporate IP infrastructure. The definition would also extend to mobile phones, the car fleet, home workers, etc.

Gerrard said: “Convergence is going to happen on a major scale and unified comms is the first step on this road. Wick Hill and Panasonic are taking this first step together and aim to be at the forefront of the UK's migration to a converged applications future.”

The company sources and delivers best-of-breed, easy-to-use solutions through its channel partners, with a portfolio that covers security, performance, access, networking, unified communications and hosted solutions.

Hampshire, UK – 2nd September 2010: A new report published today by Juniper Research has found that a combination of mobile casino, lottery and betting service launches in major emerging markets lead by China allied to liberalisation of remote gambling legislation across the US and Europe will see the scale of annual wagers on mobile gambling exceed $48bn by 2015.

The report studies gambling services on a country-by-country basis. It finds that, in recent years, the Japan Racing Association’s iPAT service had been responsible for the bulk of global mobile gambling transactions, with casino/betting services in the UK accounting for much of the remainder. However, the sharp surge in adoption of the mobile lottery service launched by VODone will help propel China into third place in terms of mobile gambling transactions.

Meanwhile, the US market is also poised to see the introduction of its first mobile lottery services. According to report author Dr Windsor Holden, “State lottery providers are anxious to explore new distribution channels, with US lottery sales from traditional outlets in decline. The upshot is that several lotteries are in the latter stages of discussion with mobile technology providers with a view to launching mobile lottery services in 2011.” In addition, the report observes that impending legislative changes in the US may herald an opportunity for mobile casino operators in the medium term.

Other findings from the Mobile Gambling Markets report include:

• End-users have eschewed multiplayer mobile gambling apps, preferring to multitask while playing “snacking” applications

• While Apple has begun to permit gambling apps to be sold via the App Store, the majority of service providers are opting for a brower-based approach

A whitepaper exploring the mobile gambling marketplace, Good Odds for Mobile Gambling is available to download from the new Juniper Research website today. To explore additional features of the new site and to register for free whitepapers/blogs, please go to www.juniperresearch.com.

WESTBOROUGH, Mass. — September 1, 2010 — Courion® Corporation, leaders in access governance, provisioning, and compliance, today announced that Kurt Johnson, Courion’s vice president of corporate strategy and development, will be joining David Smith, the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) deputy commissioner, to discuss the ICO’s new power to fine organisations up to £500,000, what this means for the future of data loss prevention in the UK and provide tips on developing an access assurance strategy.

Who: Kurt Johnson, vp of corporate strategy and development, Courion; David Smith, deputy commissioner, Information Commissioner's Office

What: Courion will participate in a free session at the InfoSecurity UK Virtual Conference the titled ‘Infosec Crime and Punishment’

When: The Infosec Crime and Punishment session is scheduled for 10:00 BST on 21st September

Where: Register for the virtual event at:
http://www.infosecurity-magazine.com/virtualconference/2nd-u...

The inaugural InfoSecurity UK Virtual Conference in 2009 was attended by 1,700 senior level information security professionals from the likes of Barclays, Ford and Motorola. 2010’s conference will commence with a talk on how with the ICO’s new power to fine organisations £500,000, and the creation of the Police National E-Crime Unit (PCeU), there finally appears to be consequences for non-compliance and cybercrime. Other topics to be discussed include the price of data breach, creating a safer, more trusted cloud and PCI-DSS compliance

“The sizable fines the ICO can now impose will hopefully deter organisations of all types from falling behind on data security. However, if past instances of data loss and theft teach us anything, it is that regulation alone will not solve the problem,” explained Chambers. “We will be explaining how such measures must be aligned with an overall effort to encourage and build a culture of security best practice and common sense, underpinned by solid technologies that can deliver the level of security required by law and be able to cope with emerging threats and the changing ways in which we work.”

“We are very pleased to have such a fantastic speaker line-up, and look forward to hearing what they have to say,” added Eleanor Dallaway, editor of Infosecurity Magazine. “Infosec crime and punishment is one of the most highly anticipated sessions. It will look at the ICO’s new powers and the role of the PCeU. I’m over the moon to have Todd Chambers and David Smith speaking in this session,”

Courion is a proud sponsor of the InfoSecurity UK Virtual Conference and will have a virtual booth as part of the accompanying expo. Courion’s unique Access Assurance approach to identity, access and compliance management ensures that only the right people have the right access to the right resources and are doing the right things.

Understanding businesses requirements from those that are on the go, Natterbox aims to make life easier by offering a service that can programme any device as an additional extension.

Natterbox's small business PBX service enables professions such as estate agents to route any telephone call, whether it is an incoming external or an internal call, to a single user or to multiple voice devices at once. Mobiles, landlines, even computers can be used as an extension of a telephone network, meaning calls can be answered anywhere in the world.

When several staff members are out of the office and others are speaking to customers or already taking calls, the Natterbox service can route an inbound call to the next available person in another branch, ensuring business isn’t lost due to an engaged line or delayed answering. Understanding the business needs of active trades such as estate agents and others, who constantly move locations during the day, Natterbox’s hosted voice means that a user’s office extension, mobile phone, home line and PC can all ring at the same time, helping to make sure a call is never missed.

The hosted voice platform from Natterbox requires no hardware or software to be installed, ensuring it is also a cost effective service for the business. In addition to this Natterbox also provide mobile voicemail, a service which is aimed for those who are often out of the office but require access to their information and messages. This feature can be dialled from any phone line across the world.

Neil Hammerton, CEO of Natterbox, said: “Testament to the advancements made in the telecoms sector, businesses now have access to a wide range of features helping to make communicating simpler and more efficient. With many occupations facing the daily challenge of being unreachable, services such as hosted PBX mean companies no longer have to worry about missing calls and potentially losing business.”

LEXINGTON, MA –September 1 2010 − Ipswitch Inc.’s Network Management Division, developer of the WhatsUp Gold suite of innovative IT management solutions, today announced Brian Saunier, who now works for Cobb Energy Management Corporation, as the winner of its SysAdmin All-Star Award. The competition was open to all system administrators, who had to submit the craziest thing they ever had to do in the course of their jobs. The competition was run to coincide with the global System Administrator Appreciation Day on Friday 30th July. Ipswitch awarded Saunier an Apple iPad for being the 2010 SysAdmin All-Star winner.

Saunier, who at that time was working for another company, was faced with a challenging situation when heavy rain backed up the drainage system in his office during a weekend storm and began flooding the server room. The server room had an air-tight glass door which the water had not yet penetrated. “The bad news was the air conditioning unit was fried, so leaving the door shut meant everything was going to overheat. We decided to build a dam with cardboard and whatever else we could find to try to prevent any water getting in the room, where one of our servers was sitting on the floor,” he explained.

“Our plan was to open the door and run in and pick up the server, which I managed to do without incident, however my colleague tripped over our dam so then I was standing in a flooded server room in two feet of water holding a powered-on server and power cords,” recalled Saunier with a smile. “Luckily he managed to get a table in the room for me to sit the server on which had to stay on for business purposes. We then spent the next few days with an industrial vacuum cleaner trying to get rid of all the water.”

“While we are lucky enough to come in contact with many of them through our business, system administrators on the whole rarely get the recognition and respect they deserve for keeping business operations throughout the world up and running 24/7,” said Ennio Carboni, president, Ipswitch, Inc.’s Network Management Division. “We felt it was important to support System Administrator Appreciation Day and provide a small token of our appreciation for the work they do. While Brian’s actions were extreme, there is no doubt he went over and above his job description to save his company’s systems.”

Other short-listed entries included a school’s system administrator whose boss had mistakenly deleted all the important user accounts when trying to simply remove a printer and a system administrator who had to deal with a 126 degree inferno of a server room all weekend after an air conditioning unit failed.

York, UK: 1st September 2010. Value Added Reseller (VAR) Trustmarque Solutions announced today that it is significantly enhancing its commitment to the UK public sector by launching its Work Smart Cost Saving Campaign.

Through an innovative approach to IT delivery, the Trustmarque Work Smart Cost Saving Campaign is designed to squeeze out costs and stretch budgets further to deliver optimum value on IT investments. Trustmarque is focusing resources on helping public sector organisations achieve a reduction in spend with a commitment to drive costs out of an organisation whilst ensuring day to day operations are more efficient and secure.

Recent announcements that public sector spending will be reduced by £83bn by 2014 are putting great pressure on IT departments to do more with less. The need to work smarter and to sweat assets will be key to ensuring a robust, compliant infrastructure. To deliver savings, many organisations will be looking to automate manual processes, take services online to reduce overheads, implement new technologies such as virtualisation, cloud computing and Software-as-a- Service, as well as look to manage their existing assets more effectively. Trustmarque understands these challenges and its primary goal is always to optimise the existing IT infrastructure before considering new investments.

Trustmarque is the VAR of choice for more than 1,000 public sector organisations which account for a significant part of the company’s business. Flagship customers include HRMC and the Metropolitan Police Authority. Trustmarque is now looking to increase this stronghold and the Work Smart Cost Saving campaign will see five major areas within the public sector targeted over the next six months – Central and Local Government, MoD, the Police and the NHS.

“The public sector is a key part of our business,” said Angelo di Ventura, Director of Sales and Marketing, Trustmarque. “For more than twenty years we have been a trusted advisor to the public sector, ensuring maximum value for their investment. We have supported organisations through the boom and bust years and we understand better than most the pressures they face. Now we want to assist further by showing the public sector how simple it is to achieve cost savings.”

Earlier this year, Trustmarque gained a place on the government IT framework for Commoditised IT Hardware and Software (CITHS), previously known as Catalist. Trustmarque is one of just ten companies to be awarded a framework agreement for a position on the prestigious software supplier list with preferred adviser and provider status to both central (civil) government and the wider public sector.

In September 2009, Trustmarque launched its Trustmarque Enterprise Solutions Group (TESG) which focuses on offering a well defined set of processes and procedures built around industry practice. The division comprises six solution areas: Business Intelligence, Information Security, Infrastructure Optimisation, Managed Licence Services, Storage & Virtualisation and Unified Communications.

“The Work Smart Cost Saving campaign will formally define how organisations can utilise Trustmarque’s expertise and solutions to squeeze spend and drive down costs,” said David Marriott-Lodge, Head of Professional Services, Trustmarque. “Our job is to ensure that our customers get the best out of their IT infrastructure, while reducing risk, cutting implementation times and working towards achieving a fast return on investment. We are confident that with our experience and expertise, we can help the public sector optimise their IT environments and achieve cost savings. ”
