MOBOTIX has run approximately 150 events at its Gherkin offices over the last year, “and if there is demand, we are prepared to run an additional Retail Technology Challenges and Solutions Seminar, so still feel free to contact us if you are unable to attend on the 14th of June but would be interested in a future event,” Lewis adds.

30 St Mary Axe, also known as the Gherkin and the Swiss Re Building, is a skyscraper in London’s main financial district, the City of London and opened at the end of May 2004.

On the building’s top level, there is a bar for tenants and their guests featuring a 360° view of London. A restaurant operates on the 39th floor, and private dining rooms on the 38th.

About J Brand Ltd:
Originally set up in 1933 by Joseph Brand as an electrical contracting and repair business in Margaret Street W1, the company today still operates today with the same guiding principle of “Customer Service” underpinning all its many core activities.
With Headquarters still based in Margaret Street, J Brand now directly employs over 120 Staff many located regionally – and offers a nationwide-/-European service.
Diversification has also enabled J Brand to flourish, with pioneering work being conducted in the late 1970s, when data communications was in its infancy.
With the addition of a dedicated support desk facility, configuration centres in London and the North West of England and continued investment in personnel, J Brand is able to offer customers a total network solution for projects across technologies and vertical market sectors.

J Brand can deliver this type of project to tight timescales and often out of normal office hours because of the highly skilled and professional staff.

London, UK – One of south England’s largest housing associations, Southern Housing Group, has teamed up with managed network service provider, hSo, to improve its network allowing for improved access to crucial data, voice and high-definition video conferencing.

Southern Housing Group decided it was time to move networks when the demand for improved services outgrew the previous provider with needs such as high-definition video conferencing.  hSo was able to provide a network that improved current services as well as allowed for scalability for the future technical needs of the group.

Governance requirements meant that the group was obligated to send out its complex project specifications to tender, bringing in a third-party IT consultant to draft the tender document. Out of as many as 23 other suppliers, hSo was the top-scoring supplier and won the contract due to its ability to offer upgraded technology, increased speed, low latency and an end-to-end managed service while remaining cost effective.

Chris Evans, Managing Director at hSo, said of the win, “The economic climate over the last few years has meant that many businesses have not been able to invest in updating or expanding their IT infrastructure and that the existing infrastructure is no longer fit for purpose. hSo’s product and service portfolio has been designed to enable businesses, like Southen Housing Group, to upgrade to the latest technologies with more capacity whilst saving money compared to the existing solutions. In today’s environment more for less is a compelling proposition.”

Alan Thew, IT Service Delivery Manager at Southern Housing Group, said of the transition, “Our overall customer experience has been fantastic. The whole experience was everything we said we wanted from a provider. With our previous supplier we had to do everything, but with hSo we don’t have to worry about a thing, they deal with all the complex stuff.”

Southern Housing Group is also looking at potential future projects around SIP Trunking and hosting. “I am very confident that as our requirements change hSo has the infrastructure in place to support our changes,” says Thew.

Eligraphics Studio, a producer of high quality stereoscopic 3D films as well as mobile and interactive 5D games, organized a meeting devoted to the opportunities for augmented reality developers. The session attendees included core IT specialists of Elinext Group, an alliance of custom software development companies.

Nowadays, many programmers and businesses firmly believe that augmented reality (AR) will have a bright future, since AR technology is going to set new standards in our everyday lives. The host of the presentation Eugene Filipkov, Senior Game Devloper at Eligraphics Studio, elaborated on the main aspects of this technology, including libraries and frameworks, as well as on the use of AR in games with a few examples.

“From my point of view, the most popular frameworks include OpenCV, Vuforia and String. I personally like the flexibility of OpenCV. It is free and cross-platform compatible. Qualcomm’s Vuforia is a very powerful tool either. It supports iOS, Android and Unity 3D, though has a closed source code,” said Filipkov.

Augmented reality techniques are much about gamification that makes the user experience more entertaining, engaging and immersive. This essentially means application of game mechanics to real-world objects that aren’t typically considered to be interactive. It is achieved by the recognition of markers (for example, printable images or pictures) that are captured through the camera lens on a smartphone, like iPhone and Android or a tablet, like iPad. The data is further interpreted by installed on the mobile device software to create 3D images overlaid on the real-world environment depicted on the mobile device. Technically, a game object appears in the 3D world on the screen due to the calculation of two matrices: projection matrix (pointed to the placement of marker) and model view matrix (pointed to the dimensions of the game object needed to be embedded). As vivid examples of AR games, Filipkov mentioned Shadow Cities, AR.Rescue and ARDefender.
The applicable areas of AR are very wide. Besides games and entertainment, the key sectors embracing augmented reality in the recent years include advertising, education, retail, publishing, healthcare and military training (simulators).
“In the coming years AR technologies will translate into huge opportunities for developers, but we have to wait a bit for smartphones’ hardware to gain more computing power. I am constantly tracking the latest advancements in AR, and I feel confident about our company’s skills in mobile augmented reality development projects,” pointed out Sergey Morozov, 3D & Games Development Director.

“The cooperation with Parrot, a globally recognized leader in wireless devices for mobile phones, and our assistance in software development for its AR.Drone flying helicopter as well as other AR projects have greatly contributed to the reputation of Elinext as a reliable and competent partner,” added at the end Maxim Galinouski, Director of Mobile Development Department.

A new revolutionary technology by impact protection brand G-Form has enabled an iPad to be dropped from space and land back to earth unscathed.

The amazing feat was captured on video and has already been watched by millions on YouTube. This incredible achievement was made possible as a result of the special cover, known as the Portfolio Extreme Sleeve which protected the valuable device by absorbing at least 90 per cent of the impact created by the contact with the ground.

While such heavy protection is not likely to be needed in everyday life for tablets, it’s great for peace of mind should an accident happen. What’s more, G-Form uses the same innovation for a range of sports protection clothing.

Elbow pads, bike saddles, insoles, shins pads, compression shirts and more are all included in the range of protective gear. And, as well as all items using Reactive Protection Technology (RPT), all are lightweight and flexible.

Products are designed using an intelligent combination of polymer chemistry, photography, 3D designing, and mold making.

INITIALS Marketing selects Pensar Systems to deliver critical IT support for a creative environment

INITIALS Marketing, a highly regarded full service creative communications agency has selected Pensar Systems to deliver managed IT services, business continuity and 24/7 support for its critical Microsoft Windows and Apple based IT infrastructure.
The agency was formed in May 2006 by senior board members from some of London’s top creative communications agencies with a pedigree that includes over 150 industry awards, nationally and internationally. INITIALS Marketing was the winner of the 2011 IPM Agency of the Year award working with household names including Samsung, Sainsbury’s, BBC and Peugeot, amongst many others.
In common with many creative agencies, INITIALS has a large estate of Apple based desktop, laptops and mobile devices. Following concerns regarding its incumbent IT service provider’s ability to deal effectively with Apple technology alongside its Microsoft systems, INITIALS decided to investigate alternatives.
With over 50 users based at offices near Piccadilly Circus in central London, INITIALS needed an IT service provider with local coverage and the ability to respond, day or night, to users often working unusual hours in response to the needs of its clients. Data security is also a vital consideration as INITIALS needs to maintain secure archives of artwork, video and documents on behalf of clients for an extended period of time.
Following a rigorous tender process, INITIALS selected Pensar, based on its proven track record working with similar creative and Apple centric organisations, and the depth of its service offering. To understand the environment, Pensar staff conducted a full audit and evaluation of the existing IT setup. This process uncovered less than adequate backup and disaster recovery provisions and several security issues, and helped define a clearer strategy to help INITIALS improve its overall IT position.
“It is easy to sing the praises of the Pensar team, in one word – awesome!,” says Richard Barrett, Managing Director for INITIALS Marketing, “The on-site team has been utterly fantastic, they have given me a full debrief of everything they found and all that they have done, and I can honestly say that I feel the weight has been lifted from my shoulders.”
Following the audit, Pensar has reorganised key communication and server rooms and implemented a combined on-site and remote backup system for critical data to improve INITIALS business continuity position. Pensar now offers support across both Apple and Microsoft based desktop technology and the full spectrum of devices including Blackberry, Apple, Microsoft, Nokia smartphones, pads and tablets, with full 24/7 coverage.
“Pensar has provided us with confidence that our IT is properly supported and the technical staff we deal with have the knowledge and ability to resolve any issues in a timely fashion,” explains Barrett.
Pensar is now working with INITIALS to reuse some of its older decommissioned servers as a local file archive and a longer term plan to upgrade its telephony system to take advantage of new collaboration and user productivity tools.
“INITIALS is a great example of an organisation that embraces all manner of technology to meet the needs of its clients,” explains Mark Williams, Managing Director of Pensar, “Simply supporting Windows desktops is not enough for most modern businesses and as the BYOD trend grows, the ability to support a wider remit of devices and operating systems is increasingly critical for a successful IT service provider.”

About Pensar
Since it founded in 1996, Pensar Systems Ltd has grown to become one of London and the South East’s leading IT service providers with expertise covering both Apple and Microsoft environments. Pensar supports over 100 clients around the capital and is part of the Apple Consultants Network and Microsoft Partner community.
Alongside consultancy, implementation, maintenance and support, Pensar provides a range of managed services including Disaster Recovery, Mobile Device Management and Cloud Computing. Pensar is also the only UK based Apple focused recipient of a MSPmentor Top 50 Award for leading managed service providers across Europe. http://www.pensar.co.uk/ About Initials Marketing
