ISO27001 Certification

  We are often asked to make sure we source servers or products from companies that are ISO27001 (or ISO9001) certified.  While it’s good to have a stamp to prove that a company has attained a level of standard I feel there is often confusion over what this certification means.

Mobile websites

Just as half the internet is still trying to get online it seems that the other half has decided that computers are old and mobile is the future. As always, it’s a compromise.  Most companies do still need a “base” website but mobile is definitely growing and by having a dedicated mobile presence you can […]
