IIA welcome Agiletech to the Association
I met Romans and Gita of Agile Technologies at the Innovate Media Event organised by the Digital Media Forum
and Media Cube in Dun Laoghaire last December. Since then I’m delighted to say that they joined the IIA and they are very interested in meeting you and helping you to streamline your business processes through the use of technology. (Yep all to do with my magnetic personality nothing to do with the boring old benefits of being a member of the IIA
) Agile Technologies have been in web 2.0 since 2003. They offer a unique mix of software development services to help companies achieve better sales and operational efficiency by leveraging their eBusiness capabilities.
They also have a number of existing software components which they distribute as open source.
Managing Director, Romans Malinovskis, told me about the new service they have launched in 2009. It is ”business process optimisation” using IT and is directed towards small and medium enterprises. All the software they write is based on MVC framework (Agile Toolkit) and is deployed as web 2.0 application – even if it’s internal company software.
Omniserve join the IIA
Welcome to the IIA’s newest member company, Omniserve. Omniserve provides starter websites for small businesses. Using their unique “Rapid Creation Process” they claim that they can get a small business live on the net with a 5 page website and appearing in Google for searches for their company name in just 60 minutes.
Workin’ 9 to 5: what a way to make a living
But’s it getting much easier all the time with technology to help us. Our newest member 1TimeTracking is going to make resource tracking a whole lot easier for all of us. It will free up managers to concentrate on the bigger picture, rather than wasting precious time emailing their team for timesheets. It allows the self-employed to track time and expenses for specific clients and projects ensuring cost-effectiveness for all. As its charged per employee it is itself a cost effective solution for the microtrader trying to juggle a number of clients. For those with employees it’s an easy way to ensure compliance to the Working Time Act as well. There’s a free trial for the first month so go on, give it a whirl and tell us what you think.
