  Keeping up with Technology

  Outside of work I have always been an avid photographer.  For a while I even photographed weddings and portraits on the weekend. During that time I spent considerable time reviewing all the latest camera bodies, lenses, flashguns, studio lighting, tripods, computers, photo software, etc.   Without realising it I had spent a considerable amount of time and effort getting to a point where my camera gear was suitable for the job in hand, at a price point I could afford and, just as importantly, it all worked together seamlessly.

  Up the Gherkin

  niu, sharpening our focus

  This morning we announced the sale of a number of our contracts that are primarily focused on the delivery of commodity services such as broadband, telephony lines and calls, or onsite telephony installations, to Daisy.  The transaction allows us to focus on our key service offerings in hosted IT and IP telephony, cloud-based solutions, and our security and compliance practice. It comes with mixed emotions, largely because it means fundamental changes for our staff, which are never easy, but the outcome will be the right result for everyone involved.  If you strip back the contractual and financial complexity, we have re-aligned our customers into the most appropriate delivery vehicles; those who are looking for simple telephony services and those who are looking for the higher value service lead approach that niu provides.

  Tales from the crypt

  You’ve probably seen the picture before: A comms room with CAT5 cables tied together in a giant, messy knot, flowing out of the front of cabinets, or squashed through cabinet spacers. Dead PC’s, laptops and printers, gathering dust and coffee rings, and slowly cannibalised for parts.

  Let it snow, let it snow

  Snow. It happens more or less every year and yet the whole country once again seems surprised by the sudden appearance of those white flakes and the chaos they bring. Various figures have been quoted in the media about the impact upon British business, in some cases as high as £1.2 billion a day.

  My name is Steve and I am a West Ham supporter

  I started this blog with the best intentions of explaining why and how we deliver on our promises. But, you see, I’ve just returned from East London after witnessing another dismal performance from a bunch of highly paid individuals who seem to be impersonating professional footballers.

  Tablet Wars

  Over the last few months, I’ve been following the impending tablet PC war with interest.  Since the release of Apple’s iPad in April, over 10 different manufacturers have slated a release of their own tablet.  You can understand why when you consider that, since its release, Apple has sold over 7 million iPads.

  How new is niu?

  Here’s a question: how new is niu? Phonetically speaking, niu is pretty new, to rhyme with view. That’s a partial answer. But niu isn’t about technology’s leading edge. I believe that where we break ground is in our approach to innovative, creative IT solutions, and to customer service. We’ve brought together four businesses with shared values but complimentary know how, and used that springboard to offer something fresh and coherent. That’s niu.
