The UK position in the world - in numbers
What is the position of the UK in the world?
This is at the heart of the question of Brexit and it is useful to have some real facts and figures. For example, what proportion of the UK governement expenditure is going to the EU? If you ask people they are likely to guess at anything from 50% to 10%, but even if you were to accept the exagerated claims of the Brexit Bus at £350m per week (which we all know is wrong!), it would still only be 2.2%.
Other metrics, such as trade or number of Nobel prizes, or level of debt etc could readily be added.

One of the side affects of the increasing levels of specialisation that characterises modern society, is that very few businesses can be entirely self sufficient in all their needs. And as soon as you are working in partnership with other entities (people or companies), the need to provide smooth information flows become vital.
Can you see anybody in your offices who
• Is manually re-inputting data that originated in one computer into another computer?
• Is anybody using spreadsheets to record and report on regular activities?
• Spending a lot of time updating the data in a standard report on a periodic basis?
See why they shouldn't be doing that…..
Is your database being very slow to respond? Nothing is more irritating to staff than finding that their access to vital data is sluggish – especially if they are on the phone to a difficult customer.
TheDevTeam have been providing IT services to the Construction industry for over 15 years. Not the hardware or Networks, but the software and databases that are at the heart of improving efficiency.
Many companies feel torn between buying big and expensive suites of software that require wholesale changes to the way the business is run, with all the training costs and dislocation that this implies; and building bespoke software that might be harder to maintain in the future.
We offer a bridging solution.

There are literally thousands of different types of reports you can extract from our mining production tracking system: Eclipse Miningware. This article is a brief demonstration of just one; a daily report for the diggers which worked in production "yesterday".
We are currently working on a marketing and data visualisation project on behalf of one of the World's most recognised brands and largest food and drinks manufacturers. Our bit is the most important bit but the least glamourous; creating tools to help sift, sort and consolidate masses of data so that it can be usefully interrogated.
