You probably don’t associate Brexit with agility. You probably don’t associate agility with contract management software either. In fact, many of us think contracts – like Brexit – are lengthy, cumbersome and time-consuming. A necessary evil that bogs us down in detail, they keep us from being out in the field - selling, networking and bringing in business.

Pleasure is a serious business. ‘A woman is an occasional pleasure but a cigar is always a smoke.’ Groucho Marx As a woman writing this I can’t even be bothered to be offended. Can anyone even picture Groucho Marx without laughing? Besides, the same could be said of a man. The gender here is irrelevant. It’s all about the cigar…

Network Function Virtualisation (NFV), Software Defined Networks (SDN), Software Defined Wide Area Networks (SD-WAN). The labels for these emerging technologies can be confusing. Put simply, we’re using software, rather than hardware, to reposition, reinvent and renew the network. In a nutshell, virtual is here and the future network is going to be very different from what came before.

Get your house in order. Politically, we live in unprecedented times. Who could have anticipated a triumph for the leave campaigners? Who knew that the SNP would seek a second Independence Referendum (#IndyRef2)? Who could believe Donald Trump would become POTUS, leader of the world’s strongest, most powerful economy with no experience of diplomacy or military service, and a reputation that’s dubious to say the least?

We’re creatures of routine. Of habit. Although we might deny it, because it doesn’t sound particularly sexy, does it? But the truth is routine, good habits, a structure to our day – all these things make us what we are. And the theory is routine makes us happy. Or happier. ‘We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then is not an act but a habit.’ Aristotle

Most of us have heard of IVF and most parents are fortunate enough to conceive without intervention. Thankfully for the minority who do struggle to conceive naturally, there are a number of medical techniques available which can result in the conception and delivery of happy, healthy children.  One of these is IVF, or in vitro fertilisation. IVF is an assisted reproductive technology (ART) which offers an alternative route to natural conception. Common infertility problems eligible for IVF incl

Soft Networks – the future There’s a lot of noise about Network Function Virtualisation (NfV) and Software Defined Networks (SDN). Unfortunately much of it is just a stream of jargon and the ‘touchable’ benefits are lost. We want to clarify what NfV and SDN are all about and how they can help. We believe they offer a simpler, better way to build networks, both for ourselves and for our customers[1].

Ladies Day Perth 2017. Had a grand day out. Finally got the opportunity to redeem the tickets bought as Christmas presents for my mum and sisters. Brother in law tagged along too. It’s got to the point this month where we expect the sun. And we weren’t disappointed. Brilliant. In more ways than one

Does your living depend on driving a HGV like a lorry or a bus? If so, you’ll know that in order to legally drive a commercial vehicle on a public road, you need a medical exam to prove that you’re fit for work. All drivers who carry either heavy goods or passengers must be safe to drive extensive miles for long periods of times. It’s paramount you’re healthy.

Country music is pretty much synonymous with the great American dream. Born in the 1920s, it’s rooted in the folk music of the working-class American. It’s a mix of blues, folk, bluegrass, hillbilly, Irish and Celtic fiddle music, and gospel. Now in its sixth generation, make no mistake – today country music is HUGE.

As the number of cyber attacks increases and the terror alert in the UK is raised to severe, we need to be aware of threats to our livelihoods all around us. Increasing globalisation, a complex hybrid cloud environment and the merging of the virtual workplace with the physical has opened up the world of digital business like never before. But not all the opportunities it presents are good ones. It’s a critical time to review all our security protocols.
