The purpose of Business Contingency Management (BCM) is to protect organisational assets, ultimately preparing a business for the unknown. BCM is the tool to communicate and analyse risks, whilst developing organisational responses. READ ON FOR MORE INFORMATION...
  • How should your company approach online marketing activities? When are all these SEO metrics really important?
    For many companies 90% of their business is generated by returning customers and hence the perceived importance of online marketing activities is relatively low. However this neglects the fact that a high search result ranking will lead to new enquiries and confident returning customers. On the other hand, most of the online SEO community does focus on metrics: back links, indexed pages, bounce rate, key word density – the number is endless. READ THE ANSWERS....

Business Contingency

Business Continuity Planning is a managerial process that does not directly contribute to a company’s value chain. On the other hand, many companies suffering a severe business crisis without a BCP in place go out of business very quickly. We have developed a paper-based BCP into an online application to minimise the administrative effort involved in protecting your company’s assets.    

Web Solutions

We have worked with local SMEs for many years, helping them identify the correct IT Solutions for their business. We use the Web Content Management Systems DotNetNuke and Wordpress as they fulfil most standard requirements, have a low cost solution and no expensive custom development is required - applying the most appropriate measures to suit your company's size, finances and aspiration.

Online Marketing

Our approach to online marketing for small and medium companies: In the absence of continuously updated content, typical SEO metrics analysis is of limited value. We help companies to create the right content for their target audience and research competitors and customers online to generate new business and ensure confident returning customers.
