SubscribeLaunching Corpus
One of the things we find exciting about OneIS is the ability to build products on top of the base OneIS platform.
We’re delighted to announce the first product built on the OneIS platform. Corpus is a secure, online patient records system for private medical practices.
Information Law with Charles Oppenheim
It was a pleasure and privilege to host a talk by Professor Charles Oppenheim on Information Law last night.
Charles is a highly-regarded expert in the increasingly-complex area of information law. He covered an enormous range of issues during the evening from, data protection to disability discrimination to whether or not emails constitute a contract.
His ability to illustrate even the most complex issue with an engaging anecdote helped everyone to understand the context and implications of each aspect of information law.
The complexities of information law: wasn’t life simpler before the internet?
It seems one of the things that makes our post-Internet world more complicated is that our laws just weren’t made for the digital world. I guess when life ran at a slower pace, laws could develop at a stately pace. But in the digital world, things happen so fast that you get the impression everyone’s just making it up as they go along.
If you’re involved in IT, or managing information makes up a big part of your job, you’ll know how important it is to keep up to date on information law. It’s not just a case of making sure you’re keeping within the law, but also protecting your reputation as someone who keeps up to date in your area of expertise.
We’re hosting a talk on information law on 11 November 2009 by a top academic in the area, Professor Charles Oppenheim. He’ll explain the current legal status on a whole host of different information law issues. Book before the end of September to benefit from our early bird booking discount.
What pain do you solve?
On Tuesday 7 July, OneIS hosted our first event. We’re really keen to encourage people from the various IT and Information professions to collaborate together, so we invited people from a variety of related professions to a Marketing Masterclass led by Chris West.
Innovations in e-information -- what does it mean for small businesses?
I’ve spent the past two days at the UKeIG’s excellent Innovations in e-information conference in Manchester. With great speakers and equally thought-provoking attendees, I learnt a good deal about developments in e-information.
Inevitably there was a bias towards issues in large organisations, since that’s where there’s most activity in Information Management. As someone who’s been working to improve information management in smaller organisations, I was keen to pick up any tips from our larger counterparts that could be of use to our small business clients.
Following two days of intense information discussions, I still believe that small businesses using appropriate technology, like OneIS, can achieve much better results than large organisations in organising and utilising their information.
So, here’s my impressions of what current innovations in e-information mean for small businesses.
You’re great. Tell the world.
Managing information and creating the right environment for sharing and creating knowledge can make a phenomenal difference to a business. But explaining the benefits of information or knowledge management, or some of the finer details of IT, to a business can be almost impossible.
We’d like to help Information, Knowledge and IT Consultants to communicate the benefits of the skills and knowledge they bring to a business. So, we’re hosting a Marketing Masterclass on Tuesday 7 July, and you’re all invited.
10 point checklist for choosing a hosted provider
It’s a Catch-22 situation. Hosted services are a good option for smaller companies – they don’t have in-house IT staff and don’t want the hassle and expense of maintaining expensive servers. But because they don’t have in-house IT staff, they often don’t have the expertise to properly evaluate an external hosting provider.
Calling Information and IT Professionals
We’ve just launched a mini-site for Information and IT Professionals, which tells the technically minded amongst us what lies underneath OneIS’ easy to use interface, plus a little about how we’re working with Information and IT consultants to help small businesses.
One month after launch
We launched OneIS one month ago. What have we learnt in our first few weeks?
We learnt that:
- the sign up process works well! You’ve told us it’s quick, straightforward and easy.
- word has got around. At a drinks reception recently, I got talking to a group where all four people had signed up and tried out OneIS!
OneIS goes live!
Today, we launched OneIS. Browse our web site to take a look at how OneIS can help you share documents, manage your contacts, and make your working life easier. Then sign up for a free account and try it out for yourself.
OneIS helps small organisations take control of their information—but what do we mean by information? We mean all the information you use and produce every day in your work.
Of course, you use documents and files, but not all the information you rely on sits neatly in a document. The ideas, contacts, and nuggets of valuable know-how that circulate around, in and out of your organisation every day is what keeps your business going.
OneIS gives organisations a secure online space for sharing and storing all of their information. It helps you get organised, work efficiently and take control—getting your information working for you.
Website relaunch
Earlier this week we relaunched our website. Thanks for all the encouraging comments we’ve had about the redesign.
We thought hard about how we could help our website visitors to easily understand OneIS.
Although we loved the clean look of our previous design, we didn’t think it did enough to excite people about what a dynamic and innovative product we were building.
We are Twittering

First we had the static web, then came the read-write web, now we have the real-time web. Twitter is a way to interact with other people in real-time over the web. Follow our tweets to find out what we’re doing to prepare for the launch of OneIS.
