Feeling Artistic? Design Your Company Labels

Leave a comment

Do you feel that your business or company needs that extra touch of class to stand out from the many competitors in the market? Little details such as improved and personalised labels can be the kind of features that would sway a customer to purchase your product. The best way to get labels exactly the way you want them is to actually design them yourself.

Making your labels on a computer needn’t be the laborious or artistic challenge that many may think. There’s some excellent software on the market at the moment which is built to give even the most inexperienced among us the chance to design something. After you’ve chosen how your labels look, you don’t have to wait around for them to be sent to you in the post as you can just print what you want when you want.

The market is full of design software which can cater for these kinds of needs, but there are two programmes which are particularly accessible and come highly recommended. These are EnLabel which is a Windows label designer which comes with many features as well as Batender Basic and Pro which supports multiple label designing and much more. Both of these packages are available from South East Labels and are competitively priced – at £359.00 and £190.00 respectively.

These top of the range software programmes are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to what is on offer at South East Labels. Customers can also pick up everything else that they might require to design, print and use their own unique labels with scanners, verifiers, rewind units, applicators and printers all available.

Whilst you are pursuing for your next piece of software or barcode printer at South East Labels it is worth baring in mind that South East Labels also work as a direct label manufacturer and you can order labels which will be sent out to you in the post. There is a huge array of different styles and materials to choose form including barcode, hot foil, asset tracking and Made In.. labels. Check out all of this and more on the website.

Attack on Japanese Defence Contractor

Leave a comment

The recent publication of the security breach suffered by the Japanese Defence Contractor, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries is just the latest in a long series of similar breaches around the world.

Once again, the discovery of multiple instances of the installation of malware or viruses on servers and desktops is symptomatic of what could be a very sophisticated attack – frequently referred to as Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) type attack.

It is reported that the breach started with what is known as spear phishing attacks – when attackers use very targeted emails; specially crafted/customised to targeted individuals, to maximise the chances of them being opened and any links within them being clicked on and followed.

Martin Finch, Managing Director of commissum, a specialist Information Security Consultancy, said that “the organisation targeted here is a typical victim of such an attack by what could be industrial espionage or state sponsored hacking to access either national security information, or intellectual property. Previous victims have for example included, Lockheed Martin, the world’s largest aerospace company”.

Chris Williams, senior consultant at Information Security company, commissum said that “the usual modus operandi is for attackers to establish a foothold through initial breaches, and then use this to both escalate the level of the breach and establish further access points. This frequently continues over what is often a very protracted time-scale. The victim will, if one or more breaches are discovered, be uncertain as to how many other breaches have been established and where these are”.

China, Russia and Korea have been mentioned as possible sources of this type of attack in the past; China in particular in this case has vigorously and indignantly denied any involvement. That is one of the problems with a sophisticated attack of this type; it can be almost impossible to establish for certain where the attack originated. It is clear though that China is just one of the countries suspected of past involvement in such attacks by US and Western European government agencies.

In addition, as is often the case, the victim is downplaying the impact and the level of penetration achieved. It is reported that the Japanese government were not immediately informed of the breach, as is required in the Defence sector; allegedly it was discovered in August but was exposed by the press this week. It is unlikely that the public will ever know for sure if the breach involved a serious leak of information.

South Coast Labels Urge Better Info Management

Leave a comment

South East Labels expects a continuing growth in demand for barcode and scanning equipment for information management purposes. Just a quick glance at recent news stories will explain why.

The phone hacking scandal that has sunk the News of the World Newspaper and besieged News International is an example of what can happen in complex organisations with poor data management and retrieval systems. The problems at New International have been exacerbated by alleged criminal activity, and the scandal inflamed by lackadaisical, if not corrpupt, internal and police investigations.

However, the underlying story is one of a commercial organisation struggling to manage the volume of information for which they are responsible and which will shed light on their business performance. In terms of the metropolitan police, the picture may simply be one of a failure to prioritise the time-consuming job of sifting documentary evidence.

That job now falls to Lord Justice Levenson who will head a judicial enquiry into phone hacking scandal and into media regulation generally. His job will be even more complex as, in addition to the mountains of documents from News International, there is likely to be hundreds of transcripts of interviews and statements to consider.

A process such as this can only be managed by barcoding packets of incoming documents, scanning them, and linking the storage location to a database which will enable easy retrieval and eventual archiving. South East Labels has experience of such systems being a trusted supplier of barcode printers and scanners.

Its rechargeable battery allows up to eight hours of web browsing and it can be charged either using the sleek HP Touchstone Charging Dock; or in its case, using an AC charger. The HP TouchPad Case itself is innovative, acting both to protect the device and as a stand for display uses.

dabs.com Begins Selling AMD’s A-Series APU Range Promising Triple-A Performance on One Chip

Leave a comment

Processor and graphics chip become one with the latest release of the AMD APU – capable of DirectX 11 graphics and quad-core processing power, with two processors available now at dabs.com.

With on-board graphics chips in the past many PC owners and builders have had to buy additional Graphics cards in order to be able to handle the latest PC games and HD videos. This all changes with the introduction of AMD’s revolutionary A8 APU (Accelerated Processing Unit), the combination of a high-performance CPU with bespoke graphics capabilities to rival the latest standalone graphics cards.

AMD, well known for their Processors, acquired graphics specialist ATi Technologies in 2006 and many computing journalists speculated on the day that AMD would incorporate ATi’s Radeon graphics chipsets in to an all-encompassing and economical chip.

The APU is the product of this union and UK computing and consumer electronics specialist dabs.com now has two models – the AMD A8-3850 and the AMD A6-3650 – available at great prices.

Duncan at dabs.com said: “With up to 3x more graphics capabilities compared to competing systems the AMD APU achieves incredible performance in all situations where a powerhouse PC is required.

“From streaming HD content to playing the latest highly-detailed PC games, the APU with AMD’s Turbo CORE Technology and DirectX 11 support ensures that users get incredible power from one component.”

Duncan added: “For added performance and capability the AMD APU works seamlessly with many of the latest Radeon HD 6000 graphics cards to boost the graphics processing power by a staggering 75 per cent.”

As well as the visual features, the A8 and A6 APU chips also offer many other features that are becoming essential in the home and the home office, such as multi-monitor support and the Advanced 32nm CPU that is both powerful and low on power-usage.

The Socket FM1 processor is now available at dabs.com priced at £109.99 for the 2.9GHz A8-3850 and £89.98 for the 2.6 GHz A6-3650.

Atos Extends Contract with the IPC

Leave a comment

Atos, an international IT services company, has announced an extension to its current partnership with the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) to include the London 2012 Paralympic Games.

Under the agreement between Atos and the IPC, Atos will further contribute to the development of the Paralympic Movement by designing, building and running its new website, www.paralympic.org, which aims to become the worldwide information source for the Paralympic Movement. Atos will also continue to collaborate with the IPC and engage in joint activities to support the International Paralympic Foundation.

Atos confirmed that, with just over one year to go to the start of the London 2012 Games, the technology it is delivering on behalf of London 2012 and together with the other technology partners is on-track and on-schedule.

“We are delighted to announce that a year ahead of the London Games, we have signed a new contract with the IPC to help them better promote the Paralympic sports and athletes,” said Patrick Adiba, CEO Atos for Iberia, Olympics and Major Events. “We are absolutely committed to continuing our long-standing collaboration with the IPC and are delighted to have this new opportunity to further support the International Paralympic Foundation.”

Atos has been a key technology provider for the Paralympic Movement since 2002 and became the official Worldwide Information Technology Partner for the IPC in 2008. The contract extension announced today with the IPC extends the longstanding relationship between the two organisations.

“Our website is now our most important communication channel to promote Paralympic sports, athletes and news to a global audience,” said Sir Philip Craven, IPC President. “We are delighted that we can count on Atos, which has the technology expertise as well as the knowledge of the Paralympic Movement, to help us redesign and update our website to meet and exceed the needs of sports fans in 2012.

“Our aim is to make www.paralympic.org, which will incorporate www.paralympicsport.tv, the global hub of all news, video and information relating to Paralympic Sport. We are very pleased with Atos’ engagement in future joint fundraising activities, which aims at supporting the IPC development initiatives and help to further advance the whole Paralympic Movement.”

Atos will design, build and run the new website - www.paralympic.org – which is due to go live in autumn 2011. The new website will use the latest technologies to engage visitors and provide them with the latest information on Paralympic games.

Since 2005 when London was announced host city for the 2012 Games, Atos has been working with the London 2012 technology team and the other technology partners to design, build and test the immense IT infrastructure that will make the Games happen. With just over one year to go, the majority of the technology has been delivered. Key accomplishments include a volunteer portal, a fully operational technology Lab, an equipment Deployment Centre, myInfo+ and a Commentator Information System.

What Are the Issues Around Cloud Computing?

Leave a comment

commissum explain all the issues of cloud computing, and explain all about the benefits it can bring small companies.

When we mention cloud computing to our SME clients as a possible solution for the cost effective management of their services, we often get asked “but what are the risk of trusting our information to someone else?” At commissum we believe that many of the issues relating to cloud computing are not new and should be considered for all relationships with service providers, although there are a few specific considerations to be made.

Using cloud computing, organisations can contract service providers to provide infrastructure, platforms and, presently more commonly software. These services enable convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable resources such as networks, servers, storage, applications and other services, provided and released with minimal management effort or interaction of the service provider. The advantages of scalability, reduced lower overhead costs and flexibility are clear and allow organisations to focus on core competencies instead of devoting resources on IT operations.

Most companies have policies and processes in place to deal with commercial relationships with IT service providers. Although these policies and processes will equally work well with cloud services many still do not sufficiently cover the risk related to the security of information.

Applications which are to be provided by a cloud service require the same risk assessment considerations as those provided by a traditional service provider.
What if the solution is:-
· failing to deliver the required business value;
· not performing to the levels agreed;
· not integrated with the existing in-house services;
· unavailable and causes delays and reputational damage;
· suffered from breaches in integrity and confidentiality of information.

But commissum’s Principal Assurance Consultant André Coner suggests that the following considerations specific to cloud computing should
he added:
· Maturity of the cloud service provider and service provider on-going concern issues;
· Complexity of compliance with laws and regulations;
· Legal issues around liability and ownership relating to different hosting countries;
· Storage of personally identifiable information in other countries;
· Consider the much greater dependency on third parties and reliance on external interfaces;
· Greater reliance on Internet connectivity;
· Security issues of public, community and hybrid cloud environments;

With 20 years of experience, commissum is adept at offering practical advice and recommending cost-effective solutions, to deliver a joined-up, coherent approach to protecting an organisation’s information assets.

Affordable Netbooks from BT Shop Mean Mobile Computing For Every Home

Leave a comment

BT Shop now has a wide range of Netbook computers for under£250 as the popularity of these ultra-portable computers reaches new levels, with more models available and many operating systems now designed specifically for these smaller laptops.

Since their introduction a few years back netbook computers – laptops that were powerful enough to carry out most typical usage such as browsing the internet and checking emails – have soared in popularity with many of today’s top brands such as Asus, Acer and Samsung all offering multiple different iterations to suit any needs.

The smaller form factor suited this type of machine due to the less demanding nature of the machine and has quickly become popular for families that would like an additional computer in the home or anyone looking for a small and portable computer that won’t break the bank.

BT Shop, the UK telecommunications company’s online shop has recently introduced a range of attractive and capable netbooks all under £250, with many including standout features such as Windows 7 Starter, fast Wireless 802.11n connectivity and enhanced ergonomic designs letting the user forget about the smaller size of the netbook computer.

Caroline Hodgson, BT Shop Executive at BT Shop said, “The Netbook is a convenient and ‘quick access’ form of the laptop computers we all know and use either at home or at work on a day to day basis.

“However many laptops can be large and expensive, with netbooks though, much more people can easily afford a computer that performs the most common tasks such as emailing friends and family, run office programmes and browse the internet.

Caroline added, “We have made a selection of the latest and most impressive netbooks available for under £250 in hope to encourage those who may have shied away from buying a personal computer based on the price or not having the space to dedicate for a desktop computer in their home”

The range of netbooks included in BT Shop’s deal includes the Asus Eee PC 1015P Seashell, Acer Aspire One D255E, Asus Eee PC 1005PX and the Samsung N145+. Each model comes with the powerful and lightweight Microsoft Windows 7 Starter and battery life spans between 4 and 11 hours.

Effortless and Productive Business Printers from Samsung Now Available At BT Business Direct

Leave a comment

Businesses of all sizes need a printer that can keep up with their fast pace and produce high quality documents. With the new ML-5510ND and ML-6510ND mono laser printers from Samsung, printing has never been so easy and effective.

With business printers used frequently throughout the working day and by many members of staff, a common complaint from business owners is that their printing solutions are not as effective as they should be. Paper jams, limited connectivity and high costs are just some of the problems that they have cited as being real drains on productivity and funds.

“Our business customers have often said to us that their printing costs could really do with being lower or that the number of problems they have had with their current printers have caused many problems, from low quality documents that reflect poorly on their businesses to delayed document printing that can make them late for meetings or miss postal deadlines,” said BT Business Directs Print Category Manager, Nadine Roache.

“With a reliable brand in Samsung we are certain the latest line of business-focussed mono laser printers are up to the task. They have many beneficial features, chief of which being a printing speed of 54 pages per minute on the ML-5510ND.”

The printers have a wide range of money and time saving features such as a one touch‘Eco mode’ that with the touch of a button prints using less toner, prolonging the lifespan of toner cartridges for internal or draft documents.

With an onboard 700mhz dual-core processor, the Samsung printers are built with speed in mind, and with Gigabit network connectivity they are perfectly suited to a networked environment with multiple workstations and employees printing from the one printer.

As well as speed, the ML-5510ND and ML-6510ND both boast large paper capacities, with some configurations able to store over 1,000 pages, meaning less time spent on adding paper to the printer and less delays when staff are trying to get documents printed quickly.

CDL Repeats Green IT Awards Success

Leave a comment

Leading IT disposal company CDL has triumphed for the second year in a row at the Green IT Awards, winning Recycling Project Of The Year in recognition of a highly successful strategy devised for The Co-operative Travel.

CDL helped to refresh 1,900 systems for the travel industry giant by devising an effective scheme to collect old computer equipment and deliver new hardware, by visiting multiple sites in close proximity on a daily rota. CDL’s security-cleared drivers and vehicular satellite tracking ensured that data security was not compromised.

The ingenious project not only produced fantastic results for The Co-operative Travel, but also succeeded in attaining CDL’s environmental objectives.

The delivery and collection schedule created by CDL reduced the projected timescale of the overhaul by six weeks and cut anticipated fuel use by an enormous 500 per cent (approximately), slashing both the expected cost and carbon dioxide emissions.

CDL Director Jean-Pierre Naylor said: “We are thrilled to be honoured by the Green IT Awards for a second year and proud of our achievements with regard to this project.

“As well as making huge savings in fuel and pollution, we were able to refurbish and reuse 100 per cent of equipment collected from The Co-operative Travel – and we also reused all packaging. We were so pleased with the outcome that we have implemented the project’s principles in our daily business practices, which also include printer recycling.”

Demonstrating the kind of innovative thinking that has led the company to awards success, CDL also used the opportunity to experiment with cutting motorway speeds by 5 per cent, which resulted in a fuel saving of 12 per cent.

Leave a comment

Toshiba’s latest business laptop offering is set to be a big hit at UK business IT and computing specialist BT Business Direct, thanks to its thin and light design, and incredible power and performance that can help workers on the move achieve more away from the office.

The new Toshiba R Series of laptops designed with business users in mind are the perfect fit for workers out of the office and ‘road warriors’ who need to touch base with head office and colleagues.

“For a long time laptop users have had to strike a balance between the power and productivity of a desktop machine and the portability and flexibility of a laptop computer. Now our customers can look forward to the best of both worlds,” said Jade Tomlinson, Laptop Category Manager at BT Business Direct.

“The R Series is the latest and undoubtedly best offering from Toshiba, a leading name in consumer technology and business laptops in particular.”

The laptop range has been designed to create the ideal mobile computing solution, containing powerful components including either Intel Core i3 or i5 processors, Intel HD Graphics 3000 and Windows 7 Professional. The specs of the machines reflect the fact that professionals will be using these Toshiba laptops on a day-to-day basis.

With the security of data and information being a key concern for all businesses, the R Series of laptops include fingerprint and smart card readers, coupled with Toshiba’s own EasyGuard management software which makes sure all data is kept safe and confidential, protecting businesses and employees.

All of this comes inside the ultra thin and light casing that includes screen sizes of 13.3″, 14″ or 15.6″ (dependant on model of laptop) with an outstanding battery life of up to 10 hours, meaning you won’t need to worry about your laptop imposing limits on you. “Unlimited productivity and performance” are the key impressions that BT Business Direct has gleaned from the R Series of laptops from Toshiba.

BT Business Direct now has a number of configurations available on the website at www.businessdirect.bt.com/ across four ranges: Satellite Pro R850, Tecra R850, Tecra R840 and Portege R830 with prices starting from £458.60 (ex VAT).

Leave a comment

Online electronics retailer dabs.com has announced that it is now stocking Samsung’s latest range of solid state hard drives, capable of transforming home and business PCs.

The Samsung 470 series Solid State Drives (SSDs) are capable of speeding up a huge range of computing tasks, from booting up to running applications and accessing data. Unlike older hard drives, SSDs do not have any moving parts which offers a number of benefits over traditional hard disc drives (HDD).

Raw speed is at the heart of these devices. Variants in the 470 series have sequential reading speeds of 250MB per second and sequential writing speeds of 220MB per second.

For users who multi-task on their computer, the SSDs are capable of providing uninterrupted access to data, allowing users to view images, listen to music and access large files all at the same time without experiencing a drop in performance. The 470 series drives allow users to work and play faster and smarter.

And anyone with a Samsung SSD won’t have to worry about making too much noise if they are working on the train or in a public space either. The devices emit virtually no noise or heat compared to traditional internal hard drives.

Duncan Rutherford, Product Manager at dabs.com said: “We are really excited to have begun stocking the Samsung 470 SSDs. It is a product that stands apart from the competition and is capable of delivering sustained performance and reliability.

“For individuals it adds a new dimension to their computing capability in terms of speed and performance, while business users will appreciate the long battery life and impressive reliability.”

From gamers and home users to office workers and students, Samsung’s range of solid state drives offer everyone the chance to give their PC a new lease of life.

The 64GB, 128GB and 256GB varieties are all available through dabs.com.

BT Business Direct Recommends Companies Use HP’s ePrint Mobile Printing Solutions for Printing on the Move

Leave a comment

UK Business computer and technology retailer, BT Business Direct, stocks a large range of ePrint enabled printer products from leading print manufacturer – HP, allowing users to print from any mobile device, wherever they are.

BT Business Direct, one of the UK’s leading business laptop and business printer providers has urged companies to consider the new range of LaserJet and OfficeJet printers that include HP’s innovative ePrint technology, providing total flexibility when it comes to printing documents.

The technology allows mobile workers to print from practically anywhere. Users can email the documents they wish to print directly from any computer or mobile device, as well as many popular smartphones including IOS, Blackberry and Nokia all of which have an HP ePrint app available.

The new printers address the concern that many businesses have that users need to be in the office or using a particular computer to be able to print documents, photos or charts. With ePrint you can get documents printed from anywhere at any time.

To ensure security, each printer is given an email address that is completely random and is not publicised in any way, ensuring only staff are able to send documents to a printer.

Nadine Roache, Category Manager at BT Business Direct was enthusiastic about the new HP ePrint solutions, commenting: “The new ePrint range of both OfficeJet and LaserJet printers have helped to address a common frustration that our customers have shared – not being able to print easily when out of the office.

“The ePrint system provides a number of options for users to send their documents to their printers whether it is via the ePrint software for PC or Mac, the dedicated smartphone app or by emailing the printer directly.
