Our award-winning online store hit all the right buttons with another of our valued customers.

Timothy Smith, head of Creative Infusion Ltd, www.creativeinfusion.co.uk, needed a e-commerce shop to showcase one of his client’s bridal jewellery.

After searching the Internet for the perfect product, he came across the answer to all of his problems with Tradingeye.

Now the website, www.katzi.co.uk, is live and up and running for blushing brides to bag themselves their dashing jewels for their big day.

Timothy said:

“Katzi needed a site to showcase their wholesale jewellery, maximise their exposure from features in print media, and provide an online retail arm to sell some of their limited edition designs.”

“We’ve been very pleased with just how flexible Tradingeye has proved to be – with imaginative use of its templates and features and a few easy-to-make tweaks to the code, we were able to meet Katzi’s design requirements, and provide a CMS as well as a full e-commerce solution.”

“Best of all, Katzi are delighted with the result.”

We’ve just come across a very interesting article concerning Software as a Service or Saas which was published by Rackspace, the company that manages all our servers.

This is of particular interest to us as our latest product www.cannybill.com runs on this exact business model.

A new survey adds weight to the idea that Software as a Service (SaaS) is becoming increasingly popular due to the current financial downturn.

Research by the UK’s National Computing Centre (NCC) has found that more companies are considering SaaS as an alternative to more traditional IT infrastructure. The market data showed that as many as a third of the businesses surveyed were either binning or delaying the IT deployment they’d been planning – indicating that the current financial situation is having an impact on IT upgrade plans.

The report took information from 100 UK sites representative of a wide variety of organisations in a number of sizes and verticals, and 23 per cent indicated they would be putting hardware upgrades on hold. An equal number of businesses said they would be doing the same for software research plans.

According to news site CBR Middleware, Steven Fox of the NCC said: “This will force companies to look more seriously at alternative delivery infrastructure such as SaaS and cloud computing.”

The results support recent research which has indicated that in the next year many IT investments will be under close scrutiny as companies attempt to weather the recession. For example, earlier this month a Gartner survey claimed that 90 per cent of organisations were set to grow SaaS.

Additionally, NCC’s research found that 30 per cent of the respondents saw SaaS as either an ‘important’ or ‘very important’ alternative to traditional forms of application infrastructure delivery.
