Thomas Armstrong invests in a centralised future

March 18, 2013 admin Uncategorized

PRLog (Press Release) – Mar. 18, 2013 – Leading construction group Thomas Armstrong (Construction) Ltd is integrating its business operations using Union Square for Construction, the centralised knowledge management system for contractors and specialist sub-contractors. Based in the north of England, Thomas Armstrong has a 180 year history and boasts a large portfolio of work across the construction, concrete, aggregates, ME and renewable energy sectors.

Thomas Armstrong operates across multiple offices and site locations, with a predominantly paper-based system for managing information. Administration Manager, Sonia McGraffin explains the inefficiencies that were becoming increasingly apparent as a result of working in this way: “All of the hard-copy documentation was proving difficult to store, archiving was a time-consuming task and the flow of information to and from sites wasn’t as simple as it could be.” Business Development Manager John Smith continues: “We also found that different departments were working in their own way, creating silos of data and duplication issues.”

A working group, which included various business stakeholders, recognised there was a need for improvement. The requirement for change was great, so the business set about searching for a solution; Union Square for Construction was one of three systems considered. Site visits to existing Union Square users allowed Thomas Armstrong to see the product in use, which boosted confidence amongst the team and demonstrated the business benefits.
“We could see that numerous benefits would be realised by implementing Union Square,” John continues. “We anticipate there will be large financial savings on print and stationery costs, as well as the decreased environmental impact of our activities. By removing these data silos we remove the duplication of tasks, and the time our teams save can be better spent elsewhere. Having one unified system for all information will increase our efficiency, allowing data to be shared by internal project teams and externally by our sub-contractors. The centralisation of contact data will make for better CRM, hopefully meaning we win more work, and the structured email storage will eliminate the disparate filing methods which currently exist.”

Thomas Armstrong is in the initial stages of the project and is working towards full implementation of the system in September 2013.

The issues described above are shared by many construction organisations. If you’d like to gain tighter control of your business information then contact us at enquiries@unionsquaresoftware.com to see how we can help.

Leicester’s Hospitals Selects Nervecentre as Hospital at Night Solution

March 13, 2013 admin Uncategorized


WOKINGHAM, England, March 12, 2013 /PRNewswire/ –

Nervecentre’s mobile healthcare technology and communications solution to enable Leicester’s Hospitals to achieve safer clinical care out of hours

Leicester’s Hospitals has gone live with the Nervecentre mobile healthcare Hospital at Night solution to support a new way of managing out-of-hours care as part of its Hospital 24/7 programme. Nervecentre will replace the trust’s traditional ‘bleep’ paper-based system of communication for managing clinical tasks out of hours with one that enables the communication of live patient-related information between a senior nurse coordinator and clinicians’ secure smartphones over the trust’s wireless network. In doing so, Leicester’s Hospitals will be better able to prioritise patient-related tasks based on clinical need and ensure that the right healthcare professional is guided to the right place at the right time. Nervecentre will also provide Leicester’s Hospitals with data on out-of-hours activity and facilitate the prioritisation of services and clinical personnel.

For all non-core hours, comprising 75% of the week, the staff use Nervecentre to request and coordinate the allocation of all clinical requests from wards through to multidisciplinary clinical team. Compared to the use of a ‘bleep’ this reduces internal delays and improves accuracy and visibility of information, improving patient safety and staff experience, as well as providing a governance record of every activity performed in the hospital allowing for continuous process improvement.

Using the Nervecentre software and Leicester’s Hospitals’ wireless infrastructure, all tasks will be logged on to a ward-based desktop PC, and the task sent wirelessly to the senior nurse coordinator who carries an iPhone, iPad or other smart tablet. The coordinator will then assign the task to the most appropriate team member. This will be received by the team member via their iPhone or other smartphone device. The task is accepted by the team member, and is added to their task list held on their phone. It stays active until the team member has completed the task.

Caroline Barclay adds, “We know from experience that urgent tasks are typically appropriately managed during out-of-hours care. The difficulty comes in prioritising those non-urgent tasks. Without the ability to communicate patient-related information, it is impossible to make the value judgment between what really is a non-urgent ‘green’ task and one that is slightly higher priority or ‘amber’. Nervecentre, however, will enable us to prioritise tasks dependent on clinical need – and do so quickly and efficiently.”

Summarising why Leicester’s Hospitals selected Nervecentre and what they are hoping to achieve, Caroline Barclay concludes, “Ultimately, it’s about patient safety. Nervecentre is an enabling IT solution that is designed around the needs of the patient and the clinician.”

About Nervecentre

Nervecentre Software Ltd is a Healthcare-focused consultancy and software development organisation committed to helping NHS Trusts improve productivity and quality through innovative collaboration technology. 

The challenge facing today’s hospitals is to continue to improve the level of care provided whilst decreasing the cost of providing that care. This will require increased productivity from clinical staff, increased staff flexibility and tight governance of processes to ensure safety. When hospitals are at their busiest, systems and processes should ensure priority activities still receive the focus they need.

The goal of Nervecentre is to both increase the productivity of staff by improving communication, and at the same time build a comprehensive picture of the hospital’s performance, to provide management with the information they need to correctly staff and run a major hospital. Nervecentre Software Ltd provides consultancy and technology to help measure and improve performance, increase teamwork, and increase productivity.

Spring Clean Your Wardrobe and Turn Your Unwanted Clothes into Cash

March 13, 2013 admin Uncategorized


BIRMINGHAM, England, March 12, 2013 /PRNewswire/ –

Clutter can be a terrible thing. At this time of the year, every year, almost like clockwork, many of us are overcome with an inexplicable urge to de-clutter our house.

The renewed vigour and motivation for keeping your house in order that comes with the New Year has long subsided and the piles of junk are beginning to grow at an astronomical rate. What once began as a small pile of items that you will “definitely wear again,” and DVDs that you “certainly can’t live without,” has become a towering eyesore that looks increasingly likely to tumble with every passing day.

Start at the beginning

Cleaning out your wardrobe, and your house, can seem like a daunting task. It’s difficult to know quite where to begin; making that all important resolution to begin, and creating some momentum, is, however, the most important part of the battle.  

Once you’ve made the decision to make that positive change and de-clutter your house, Cash for Clothes may just be able to make the whole process that little bit easier, while putting some extra money in your pocket and helping those less fortunate in the developing world.  

Let us help you

Cash for Clothes is a West Midlands-based company that is dedicated to taking your unwanted clothes, shoes, bags, CDs and DVDs and turning them into cash, for you to spend however you like, while also having a positive humanitarian and environmental impact on the world.

Here at Cash for Clothes, our services are customer-focused and driven. We aim to make the whole process as easy as possible for our customers. All you need to do is log onto our website (http://www.cash-clothes.co.uk) or give us a call, request a free collection at a time and on a date that suits you, and, on arrival, our driver will take your unwanted items and present you with a cash payment.

It couldn’t be any simpler. The only stress that you’re going to experience is deliberating over how to spend those extra few pounds.

Doing your bit

In addition to putting a few extra pounds in your pocket, one of the great advantages of using our fast, efficient and free service is that, whether you’re an individual looking to clear out your wardrobe, a company wishing to sell its goods wholesale, or a Public Sector organisation, Cash for Clothes is committed to helping those living in poverty, as well as operating in an environmentally sensitive manner.

While the clothes that you pass onto us that are still in wearable condition are shipped directly to the poorest people of the developing world, irreparably damaged clothes still find a second home, and are either repurposed into new clothing or reused as rags for cleaning.

Wherever your unwanted clothes end up this spring, you can sleep soundly in the knowledge that you have contributed greatly to the fight against global warming and poverty.

Let’s start making a difference, together.
