DIGITAL SERVICES FIT FOR GROWING COMPANIES


One thing that has been demonstrated over the last few months is how much technology can help businesses get through difficult times. Many of those companies that embraced technology with remote working, Zoom meetings, cloud-hosted files and custom software have been able to continue operating through the recent Covid-19 lockdown with minimal disruption, according to financial software experts, Anterec. Brent Jenkins, managing director, explained that customer data needs to


be at the centre of your business, in order to imbed resilience and growth into your company’s future plans. He said: “Any database that you have needs to be secure, with controlled access and compliant with data protection and FCA regulations. A centralised data management system is needed to manage customer data and provide useful dashboards to show key information about how your business is performing.” Branded mobile apps also help to maintain the connection between


business and customers, with the team at Anterec finding many financial service companies that come to them for help have lost touch once the customer has signed up. Digital is no longer optional; it is there to support and add value to your


business. At Anterec, the team help growing financial service companies to get the right software in place to operate effectively for the future. Start preparing your business today.

FUNDING BULLSEYE FOR TARGET PROJECT


An innovative project designed to protect children from the dangers of online grooming, exploitation and abuse has received a funding boost thanks to The National Lottery Community Fund. The TARGET Project, which is


delivered by Service Six, has been awarded National Lottery funding of nearly £400,000 which will allow the scheme to continue for a further three years. Through the TARGET Project,


Service Six deliver workshops in schools across Northamptonshire and Leicestershire, highlighting online dangers and ways to keep safe, as well as offering individual one-to-one support to children and young people who have been or are at risk of becoming victims of online sexual abuse and/or grooming. The TARGET Project was


established after research carried out by Service Six and its partners highlighted some startling findings. The study – involving over 1000 local children and young people - showed that over


half those questioned were regularly contacted by strangers online, 36% had received indecent sexual images including child images, a quarter of respondents had sent indecent sexual images to others, 19% had been asked to meet a stranger, eight per cent had met strangers, but less than one child in 100 had reported these disturbing online incidents to an adult. Service Six CEO Claudia Slabon


said: “Much of our children’s and young people’s lives are now spent online; playing, socialising and interacting with others. The TARGET project helps to ensure that children and young people have the knowledge and skills to remain safe when they are interacting with other people online.” Since its introduction in 2017,


each year, over 5000 children and young people have benefited from becoming involved with the TARGET Project.

Bespoke solutions for your automation needs


At Progressive Bits we specialise in the architecture, design and implementation of automation systems, processes and software. We pride ourselves on the innovation and quality of our solutions, finding ingenious methods to resolve complex problems.


What we mean by automation Automation covers a wide area, but we specialise in software or process automation rather than mechanical/robotics or other forms of automation.


What can be automated Almost anything can be automated but in essence what we automate are processes, software and virtualised hardware.


Our areas of automation


• Process Automation - The automation of processes with minimal user intervention.


• Infrastructure - The automation of provisioning software and virtual hardware including cloud and edge.


• DevOps - The automation of software building, testing and delivery.


Automation Tools These days there are lots of tools available for us to use that assist in automation, configuration management and orchestration of our systems and infrastructure. However, these 'off-the-shelf' products rarely provide a complete solution and individual business requirements may need


some bespoke scripting or software development. At Progressive Bits we can develop this infrastructure to streamline your business.


Delivery We are engineers with in depth knowledge and experience of building and hosting applications of all sizes through to large-scale public systems. From development through to production, your business is in capable hands.
