UKSolutions, one of the UK's largest privately owned data centre providers today announced its continued partnership with Shropshire based online training provider, Reach Internet. The company has moved its in-house data provision to UKSolutions' tier IV specification data centre in Studley to significantly increase performance levels by achieving a 100 per cent uptime on service level agreements (SLA).

Reach Internet provides customers with the latest technology and operating platforms to enhance their own networks and systems. Although Reach Internet was only established in 2009, its chief executives draw on more than twenty years of experience in the IT industry - as a fully functioning ISP, Reach Internet provides everything from simple domain name registrations and maintenance, through to co-location and fully managed IT services.

Harmohan Sood, head of IT, at Reach Internet commented: "We provide online training services to customers in a sector where high levels of performance are not only expected, but are also a necessity if they are to compete. It is no coincidence that uptime and performance were the two most important factors we looked for in an outsourcing partner."

Harmohan added: "Previously, at Reach Internet, we had stored our mission critical data in-house, but our rapidly growing customer base meant that it was no longer practical for us to maintain this internal infrastructure and to manage such a high volume of data internally. Driven primarily by efficiency with the need to comply with competitive SLAs and secondarily by cost motivations, we decided to look for a hosting partner.

Being located close to Birmingham we found the UKSolutions Studley facility not only perfectly positioned geographically, but a highly professional outfit capable of meeting both Reach Internet's and our customers' needs. From high resilience fibre channels to 100 per cent uptime on SLAs, UKSolutions provided us with the support and expertise we required from an out sourcing partner."

Daniel Lowe, founder and managing director of UKSolutions said: "Proximity and reliability are two key factors which not only Reach Internet but a number of other customers have found important. Our geographical location in the Midlands means we can achieve super high speed connectivity, thanks to our proximity to IBM's data centre in Warwickshire and an abundance of space to expand into - a luxury not often available to the heavyweight providers in London."

Daniel concluded: "At UKSolutions we stand for efficiency, reliability and first class service provision and it is no surprise that a company like Reach Internet, which shares our credos so closely, chose to partner with us - we look forward to being a key part of their expansion plans for many years to come."

The number of people getting on their bikes in the UK has grown significantly over the past ten years and according to research from Sport England recreational cycling is the second fastest growing sport in Britain after athletics.

Quick to catch a trend, Outsourcery has moved to the forefront of this cycling boom by sponsoring the UK's biggest professional cycle race, The Tour of Britain, an eight day event that kicks off on Saturday 11th September in Rochdale and ends on Saturday 18th September in the heart of London.

Piers Linney, Joint CEO of Outsourcery and keen cyclist, will be at The Tour to present the cyclists with their awards. He said: "Outsourcery is pleased to be the Official Technology Partner for this year's Tour of Britain and Prostate Cancer Charity Tour Rides. I have a personal interest in cycling and everything that comes with it namely the community, the sport, the fitness and the freedom.

"The Tour's success lies in that it offers something for everyone, from professional to family and mixed ability rides. The Tour requires complex logistics to organise the eight-day race across the UK and a team that grows from 15 to 600 during the races. Outsourcery will be helping with the technology aspects and the information needs of many others following the race."

Alastair Grant, Commercial Manager of The Tour of Britain, added: "Outsourcery has taken on the challenge of providing the IT applications and support for the complicated logistics of this exciting eight-day race. The Tour will require flexible and mobile IT systems to keep pace with the bikers as they race around the UK.

"The organisers, followers and participants will be relying on the technology for real-time communication and access to up to date information, using reliable cloud computing and mobile technologies, such as email, intranet, customer relationship management solutions (CRM), video conferencing and mobile voice and data communications solutions."

IT managed services provider InTechnology has launched Instant Communications Manager Client (ICMC), a new all-in-one manageable client where Instant Talk, Instant Alert and Instant Locate applications are accessible through a single portal.
 
Based on Push-to-Talk technology, ICMC comes with a range of mobile calling, tracking and recording features including one-to-one calling, group announcements to selected users, instant alerts, stealth listening and automatic recording, as well as location detection.
 
ICMC has been designed against a backdrop of several influencing factors, says Maria Pouney, InTechnology's Group Product Manager for Instant Communications: "As communications technologies continue to converge there is a greater need to carry fewer devices. Because Instant Communications applications are built into the mobile phone, this means one less device for employees to carry.

"Also, Software as a Service applications are growing, providing organisations with greater flexibility to introduce new initiatives to support their staff and their businesses. And with the economy still in the doldrums, the need for businesses and other organisations to improve efficiencies their resource management has never been higher."
 
New and emerging legislation means that employers need to adhere to legal and regulatory demands. For example, the introduction of the Corporate Manslaughter and Homicide Act 2007 means there is now a practical, moral and legal imperative for organisations to protect their workers.

"Legally, a lone worker should not be put at greater risk than any other employee," added Pouney. "Instant Communications applications such as Instant Alert and Locate enable organisations to better protect their staff, particularly lone workers and those involved in riskier professions such as traffic wardens, couriers, lorry drivers and emergency services."
 
With the ICMC, employers can now communicate one-to-one or one-to-all simultaneously, track staff movements and immediately receive alerts when significant events or major issues arise.

Pioneering vacancy lead generation system launched

MyResourcer.com, a new, easy-to-use vacancy lead generation system for the global recruitment market has been launched.

The system has been developed over the past two years by co-founders Bradley Placks, and Mark Lennard, who between them have over 30 years' recruitment industry experience, with the former also being one of the co-founders of Broadbean Technology. MyResourcer.com assists and enhances the way recruiters develop new business opportunities and find new vacancy leads.

By being able to identify new job vacancies from the data within an existing recruitment database, recruiters are therefore able to quickly match candidates to jobs, speeding up the recruitment process as well as developing new business leads.

The application uses dynamic search technology to provide busy recruiters with the quickest and simplest mechanism for tracking new job vacancies as and when they are advertised on their clients' websites. Instead of having to trawl through websites on a daily basis MyResourcer.com automates the process highlighting new job vacancies which recruiters can then match candidates to.

Bradley Placks, Managing Director, MyResourcer.com said: "Having worked in the recruitment industry for nearly 20 years myself, I totally understand the challenges and frustrations recruiters face day-to-day when it comes to finding and securing new leads. We designed MyResourcer.com to offer recruiters a viable solution that will not only save them time, but deliver the leads they are regularly striving to find."

For recruitment companies MyResourcer.com unlocks the value of their recruitment databases. MyResourcer.com monitors each and every uploaded site for new vacancies as and when they occur. For recruiters having to manage a large number of clients this not only simplifies the entire business development process, but frees up time cold calling and introduces the recruiter to targeted sites where vacancies currently exist.

The website incorporates a number of key functionalities; the 'Upload' capability ensures that recruiters can quickly transfer their clients' website addresses from their database, straight onto the site; 'Watchdogs' automatically informs recruiters of new positions matching their criteria and 'Retriever' searches and finds unique vacancy pages which are then stored in its memory bank.

Mark Lennard, Executive Director continued: "We've worked with the best possible technical team to create the ground-breaking and robust technology behind MyResourcer.com and are confident that once recruiters try the application, they will be amazed at the new potential this system creates for their business. Developing such a tool that now sits on the client side of the fence is a great benefit to the industry which to date has only been assisted technically with the candidate element of recruitment such as job boards and CV databases etc. MyResourcer.com offers the recruiter a solution to quickly find vacancies that are displayed on their client's websites and receive continual vacancy watchdog updates. We see it as the technology that will soon become A Recruiter's Best Friend."

MyResourcer.com is available to recruiters on a subscription basis.
