With roughly 1.7 billion commuters travelling by train each year, and around 22,500 trains running every day, it's no wonder why train operation companies and organisations alike need to make sure that every thing is running smoothly, both on the platforms and within their headquarters. One of the biggest train operating companies within the UK has recently acquired a new franchise, and they have sought our help here at Verelogic to help with the migration from IBM Notes, to Office 365. A migration of 4000 users can be tricky enough, and the nature of the business means a dispersed workforce, who do not visit the office and who only have access to email via mobile devices. However, with no problem too big, we set up a Quest Co-Existence Environment between Notes and Office 365 and also assisted in the configuration of AD Synchronisation. Intune was then used to manage the changes to mobile devices, enabling all the changes to be made remotely. In addition to all of this fabulous work, we also provided a specialist support hotline to deal with any questions arising post migration, to avoid not only a strain on the existing help desk, but to keep any customers using our services happy! If you need help with any of your projects, and don't know who to turn to, why not try us? We love proving that we can help even in the trickiest situations! So come on, test us! You can call us on 01793 513844 or send the team on email on info@verelogic.com We look forward to assisting you further!!

We love helping people, who doesn't, right? So being part of the the Solutions team is an endless feeling of warmth, knowing we help companies become one step closer to their goals! For this particular client, one of the largest Real Estate Management Companies in the world, we helped supply an online calculator for their clients - which enables them to gauge the cost of various office types in cities across the world. The system used was written internally by an offshore team using Angular JS. Verelogic then provided a custom hosting environment in Azure, with high speed global endpoint delivery from Verizon. We also provided help with code changes during the UAT period, including significant enhancements to the printing capabilities (Cool, right?!)

Verelogic IT Solutions are delighted to announce the completion of one of our latest project, using our very own extraction tool! The team have been actively promoting our new tool, which has been created to help companies and organisations alike with their compliance purposes and regulations. After meeting with one of the biggest banks in the World, the company explained how they had a large Notes Database containing a wide variety of records & documents, some of which are required to be retained for compliance purposes. Verelogic were able to show off the extraction tool we had created, which works by extracting data and storing it safely in on-site data centres, as well as in the cloud until the data is then needed again in which Verelogic can then select certain or specific data and easily return it back to the company. Since winning the project, the team have successfully completed the project, where by selected data was extracted to CSV file and PDF files, and then placed in a searchable file share where it will be subsequently ingested to SharePoint. If you would like to find out more about our extraction tool, simply view our short clip here for a brief overview. Alternatively, get in touch with the team on the information provided. We look forward to assisting you further! info@verelogic.com 01793 513844

Contracting is quickly becoming the most obvious route for I.T professionals​​ that are skilled in the industry. There are a load of different perks involved with this employment route, such as flexibility on when you want to work, higher daily pay rates and a wider abundance of work. But with a lot of different factors having an impact in a potential contracting career, it's hard to know where to start. We are going to start at the very top, seeing which roles are currently paying the most and are in more demand, as well as looking at which skills employers are currently looking to bring on board. Technology is incredibly fast paced, and to stay at the top of the high paying bracket, it is essential to keep up to date with all of the latest skills, and trends. Here are the current top ten highest paying contractor roles in the UK, according to ContractorUK.com All data correct as of December 2018. The actual day rate will of course vary depending upon the relevant skills and your experience in that specific area. Other things that could change the rate of pay is location, company budget, and the demand for your skill and technology knowledge. However, the table above can give you a clear indication of which roles are currently paying out the most. So, you've seen the list of the highest paying roles in I.T Contracting currently, but that can be pretty vague. Are you wanting to know if the skills you have currently can push you into that top ten bracket? Here are the current top I.T Contracting skills by demand Data supplied via ContractorUK.com, and correct as of December 2018. With Java topping the list of the most in demand skill currently, you'll have ample choice of contracting roles if you have this skill in particular. Whilst skills such as SQL, C# and .NET are seemingly always in the top ten, there are many skills that are emerging currently that have taken a seat in the list. For example, there has been a significant rise in the number of Cyber Security contract roles available in the last year or so. With more and more data breaches emerging in the media, companies with sensitive data are ensuring this doesn't happen, and therefore investing more into Cyber Security. Where can I find these contractor roles? Verelogic have become more aware of the rise in contracting roles, and we are working closely with our clients and customers to meet their demands for contractors. With a wide range of roles currently open and looking to be filled immediately, we can find a role tailored specifically for your skills. So, if you are looking for a contracting role where you can secure a higher daily pay rate, and have the ability to work from home, simply email us your CV and we can get in touch with a range of roles to suit you.

When you hear "intranet", do you think of an outdated, hard-to-navigate internal portal with slow loading times? Intranets were initially designed to share information within a single location. The "old" intranet was just a collection of files and company announcements. It lacked engagement and no way of engagement, interaction, or collaboration. That version of the intranet has no doubt died. How are Intranets Used Today? The modern intranet is alive and well, with many businesses evolving their intranets to include user-centric features. Some intranets even incorporate AI, automation, and mobile accessibility, which makes them a more interactive, integrated, and personalised experience. Today's intranet can also be seen as a social and digital workplace. They are no longer static sites but dynamic systems that integrate communications tools like Microsoft Teams, Slack, or Google Workspace. Intranets can let employees quickly share and access documents and edit them in real-time, all within a single, interactive platform. These are some other ways intranets are used today: Improving Productivity and Information Access: A well-designed intranet has the potential to significantly improve productivity by reducing the time employees spend searching and inputting information. With tracking, search and data integrations tools employees can quickly locate data needed. Supporting Remote and Hybrid Work:   With the rise of remote and hybrid work there is a growing need for remote connectivity among organisation employees. Modern intranets gives employees seamless access to essential resources like documents, HR tools, and internal communications regardless of location. Centralising Communications and Resources: All company announcements, departmental updates, and other internal communications can be kept in one place. Modern intranets feature news feeds, live chats, and integration with email and messaging platforms to ensure employees receive timely updates. By consolidating resources and communications in one place, intranets help employees avoid missed announcements and remain informed. Training, Onboarding, and Professional Development: Many modern intranets now serve as a hub for hosting online courses, training videos, and interactive resources, intranets allow employees to learn new skills and access professional development at their own pace.   Examples of Modern Intranet Solutions: Slack and Microsoft Teams Integrations:  These platforms can function as social intranets, providing messaging, collaboration, and easy file sharing. Happeo and LumApps:  These platforms focus on user experience and offer intuitive interfaces for content sharing, social engagement, and more. Microsoft SharePoint:  is widely used for document management and team collaboration. Verelogic IT Solutions has developed its own SharePoint Site Creator, Verasti ,  which allows companies to precisely define what lists of libraries, items, pages, web parts, and security they want. Verasti will create and configure the sites precisely as you define them from a single Excel Workbook. Get a free demo from the team by emailing sales@verelogic.com . As technology advances and businesses grow, intranets must adapt to different working styles, include more functionality, and change user expectations. Intranets have successfully stayed relevant by evolving to meet the modern workforce's expectations for collaboration and access. They are still a vital resource for communication among organisations of all sizes.

Verelogic Group Spreads Christmas joy, donates toys to Cash for Kids' "Mission Christmas"  Verelogic has purchased and donated toys as part of its commitment to supporting "Mission Christmas" through Cash for Kids, a UK charity that supports disadvantaged families. Gifts donated by Verelogic Group With the current cost-of-living crisis, Christmas has become a luxury many families need help to afford, leaving children and families without the joys of the season. As a company, we care deeply about community welfare and helping those in need. This is why we have partnered with Cash for Kids and Mission Christmas to ensure every child can feel the wonder and excitement of Christmas.  The CEO of Verelogic Group, Kevin Metcalfe, shared his thoughts on the campaign, "Every child should have a gift to open on Christmas day, and we wanted to play our part in ensuring children across the UK can feel the joy of opening a new toy. We are happy to be able to support Cash for Kids on Mission Christmas, as they do an incredible job supporting children and families who are less fortunate."  Mission Christmas encourages individuals and companies to donate new, unwrapped gifts for children aged 0 to 18. These donations will be distributed to children throughout the UK just in time for Christmas Eve. We're encouraging individuals and businesses in the local community to join them in bringing festive cheer to children who need it most.  We have established a collection point at our office to gather gifts for the campaign.   For Mission Christmas, it's more than just giving a gift. It gives hope to children as their faces light up when they open a present and know that they are cherished and not forgotten. Such a simple act can have a profound impact on a child's life.   To learn more about Cash for Kids and Mission Christmas and how you can get involved, visit the Cash for Kids website .
