– where to turn to for finance
– the options when it comes to IT deployment
– what help is available

Computer-aided design
From advice on professional packages to sourcing contractors, we advice Irish companies on the best means to secure and deploy CAD solutions.

Web hosting and development
Irish companies now seek ever-more sophisticated services from their hosting and web development companies. We look at what Irish companies should be doing and discuss the different ways they can achieve it.

Enterprise content management
Enterprises continue to look for more efficient, better value ways of organising and structuring their information. Where should they turn? We look at the newest technologies and ask whether they’re worth the investment.

(The lack of) recent postings

Wednesday, April 9th, 2008

Apologies folks for the lack of updates on the blog. In hindsight I think fronting the site with a blog was not the right option, I simply don’t have time during the day to maintain it and the fact I’m not on the editorial team I don’t really have access to press releases and other news. I will be redesigning, maybe from scratch, over the coming weeks, so check back soon. In the meantime, the features for May will be posted after this one.

Cheers,

Mark.
