Well Done Denise!

Congratualtions to our very own Denise Day who completed the London Marathon last Sunday!

Cloud Computing- Benefits and Risks!

Mike Burden, head of IT at Copyrite, has been published in the April/May edition of New Business Matters, discussing the benefits and risks of Cloud Computing. It highlights the importance of exercising some caution when adopting Cloud Computing; ensuring the capabilities of the computer provider are sufficient, as well as checking the agreement terms so that there is minimal bother if you choose to exit the agreement.

Cloud Computing allows it’s users to access data and systems from anywhere, which in turn lowers the cost of maintaining servers and applications. However you need not transfer your whole IT system to the Cloud, many choose to start with email messaging services or backup processing. Others choose to move their applications to cloud based solution (often referred to as Software as a Service- SaaS).

As there are an ever-growing number of providers, the choice of where to go can be difficult. There is no one best answer for the perfect provider, so seek help and guidance! If your IT provider isn’t talking to you about this yet, we can help. Just call Copyrite and start taking steps to better deploy your IT.

At the O2

Director Ian Stewart's daughter Emily and her harmony group MELO got the chance to perform at the O2 in London last Saturday in the grand final of the Open Mic UK competition after winning regional area competitions. Unfortunately MELO didn't win in the final despite a fantastic performance but the judges feedback was encouraging and the support from friends, family and everyone at Copyrite was even better! The girls (MELO features 17-year-olds Molly Scott, Emily Stewart, Olivia Tambini and Kelly Childs) describe themselves as '4-part vocal harmony girl-group covering a range of pop and soul ballads and funky tunes, re-arranged and re-worked with amazing harmony'.

Copyrite is expanding...

And not just because of the amount of cakes and chocolates circulating the building during the festive season! We are very pleased to welcome 3 new members to the Copyrite team, Francesca (Frankie!) and Bethan in Service Admin, and Ian who will be working with our IT Department. All 3 have already made a fantastic start here at Copyrite and we very much enjoy working with them.
