With the founding of a joint venture in Chile, the company is meeting the needs of the growing photovoltaic markets in South America. meteocontrol Chile SpA has its headquarters in Santiago de Chile, and is focusing on tapping the markets in Chile, Peru and Bolivia.

The signs point to growth – both at meteocontrol and for the use of solar energy in Chile. “We want to push our internationalization. As a pioneer in solar energy in South America, Chile offers the best conditions,” says Martin Schneider, Managing Director at meteocontrol. “Through this joint venture, we will be better positioned to care for our existing local clients and provide faster technical support, which is currently hindered by the time difference with Germany. Of course, we are also focusing on gaining new clients and completing further projects, both in Chile and in the neighboring countries Peru and Bolivia,” says Schneider. The joint venture partner is the Chilean company Ingetrace Solar SpA.

Monitoring for Public Solar Rooftop Program in Chile

DIY: Content management system ST4 2018 makes light work of automation in technical writing

$
0
0

The new Workflow Designer enables internal processes to be reproduced easily and pre-defined process steps from the new Workflow Automation Library can be conveniently added to these processes. ST4 2018 will be demonstrated at this year’s annual tcworld conference and fair from 24th to 26th October in Stuttgart.

The more complex a product, the more international the clientele and the stricter the legal requirements, the more challenging the creation of accompanying product information. To meet these requirements, a number of checks are required that in some cases must also be documented. As demands like these have a tendency to increase, modern technical writing departments are calling for more automation.

Up to now, automated procedures have either been programmed laboriously in-house or the programming has been commissioned as a one-off order. However, if the requirements on the workflows and processes in question change, these existing workflows then need to be reprogrammed – which is another laborious task. This is precisely why SCHEMA has developed ST4 2018 to give technical writers the tools they need to flexibly implement new requirements into existing automated procedures.

Thanks to the innovations in ST4 2018, technical writers can now create workflows themselves. These are initiated automatically and subsequently follow the pre-defined process steps without deviation. This means that once a document has been translated, production can be started automatically, or an email can be automatically sent to the head of department when a task has been completed.

It is very easy for technical writers to get to grips with creating automated workflows using the Workflow Designer and the Workflow Automation Library. The workflows are created in the form of process flowcharts and are automated in just a few clicks using the automated procedures in the Workflow Automation Library. Virtually all areas of the content management system can be accessed, triggered or changed.

At SCHEMA, automation continues to be a strategically important issue. Following the major innovation of the project configurator in ST4 2017, which automatically creates publications from intelligent content modules, two essential functions for automating authoring processes are now being introduced: the Workflow Designer and the Workflow Automation Library. These will enable companies to react quickly and flexibly to changes in requirements so that technical writers can focus on the essentials again: creating high-quality content.

MayfairFowler get homes Christmas ready

United Kingdom 12-10-2017. MayfairFowler is sad to see summer go, like many of its clients, but the company knows that autumn and winter are also great times of the year. At this time of the year, many homeowners are looking to make changes to their property but there is a question that is always being asked. “Will it be ready for Christmas?” This is probably the most common question a building firm is asked at this time of year and this is why MayfairFowler is pleased to provide a range of services and building work that will be completed in time for the festive season.

It is impossible for any company to say with complete confidence that every job will be finished in time for the holidays. After all, no two homes are the same and no two construction projects are the same either. However, there is an understanding that many homeowners would prefer to delay certain projects until the New Year if it means disrupting the festive season and this is why MayfairFowler is keen to offer as much guidance and support as possible. Anyone looking for a straight answer on whether their project will be finished in time for the festive season needs to call on the leading builder Oxted can offer.

At MayfairFowler, customers not only receive a high standard of work, they receive support and assistance that will ensure they make the right decision for their home and loved ones. The team at MayfairFowler is highly skilled and experienced in a wide range of property projects and this is why the firm is in a position to provide an honest and viable timeline for all building work.

No matter what work is being undertaken, it makes sense to call on the best standard of builder Tonbridge can offer and this is why MayfairFowler is the company to call on. For extension work, conversions or simple repair work, this is the building company local homeowners can trust.

How to be Heard: Secrets for Powerful Speaking and listening

$

how to be heard bookLondon, United Kingdom (October 16th, 2017) — Have you ever felt like you’re talking, but nobody is listening? Communication expert and five-time TED speaker Julian Treasure is releasing a new book, How to be Heard: Secrets for Powerful Speaking and Listening.

How to be Heard has never been more relevant. We teach our children how to read and write, but not how to speak and listen, and we live in a world where the art of rhetoric and conversation has largely been lost. When we want to communicate, our first instinct is to reach for a piece of technology and type. Treasure says, “People have always been scared of public speaking, but now it seems we have a generation scared of private speaking too.”

Ineffective speaking and listening severely limits outcomes in life. Many people struggle to lead, inspire, connect, parent and build relationships as well they could. And the effects are felt as far as politics. “Increasingly, political discourse is being carried out in soundbites or even in 140 bombastic characters”, Treasure elaborates. “The only antidote is skilled conversation… Democracy depends on civilised disagreement and understanding. Conscious listening always creates understanding. Politicians often meet for talks; perhaps it would work better if they met for listens.”

Including a range of expert interviews, How to be Heard offers a practical, comprehensive guide to improving these vital life skills – and thus improving our happiness, effectiveness and wellbeing.

Julian Treasure is an author and international speaker on sound and communication. His five TED talks have been viewed an estimated 50 million times, including one in the top 10 TED talks of all time. Julian is also founder of The Sound Agency, which has been proving that good sound is good business worldwide since 2003.

“Julian Treasure is a pure genius. He understands what motivates and moves people, and it’s all in the power of sound. How To Be Heard is an important read… and something that everyone needs to hear. Pun intended.”
— Mitch Joel, author of Six Pixels of Separation and CRTL ALT Delete

“He’s a master-communicator, and this wonderful book is a gift to all who aspire to share effectively what they know.”
— Chris Anderson, TED Curator and author of TED Talks

“Julian Treasure wants you to communicate better and he knows how important that is, for your work, your wellbeing and your relationships with others. How to Be Heard offers guideposts from his professional lifetime of studying the ingredients of successful conversation.”
— Professor Sherry Turkle, author of Alone Together and Reclaiming Conversation

How to get GDPR ready

$
0
0

Failure to prepare could see fines of up to 4% of a company’s worldwide turnover

From 25 May next year all UK businesses – big or small – will need to comply with strict new regulations around how they collect, store and use personal information as the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) replaces the current data protection directive.

However, despite the GDPR’s two year transition period which began in May 2016, A&O IT One Solution (www.aoitgroup.co.uk) is concerned that many SMEs remain unaware of what changes they must legally put in place over the coming months if they are to avoid breaching the new data protection obligations.

The UK’s Information Commissioner has historically taken the approach that it wants to help Data Holders comply with the rules but GDPR brings about a change in culture to enforcement and ignorance or a lack of resources will no longer be considered an acceptable excuse.

With violations set to be met with heavy fines of up to 4 per cent of a company’s worldwide turnover and the changes coming in despite the UK’s decision to leave the EU, non-compliance could risk putting offending SMEs out of business.

To support SME’s, A&O IT One Solution have prepared a free guide designed to help ‘get you GDPR ready’ please email gdpr@aoitgroup.com for a copy.

Rod Moore, chairman of A&O IT Group, commented:
“The implications of the new GDPR are massive for all organisations. Whilst some small business owners wrongly assume the new laws won’t apply to them, what’s even more worrying is how many remain totally unaware of the new regulations and how they will impact their day-to-day business.

“All business owners need to wake up to the fact that the new GDPR directive is a complete legal overhaul that will affect anyone who deals with personal data, whether they’re a one-man band or have multiple offices. If you hold personally identifiable information (PII) data on staff, contractors or customers you are legally obliged to ensure that its’ use is limited to activity expressly approved by the subject.

“Seeking IT advice at an early stage will not only avoid potentially business-devastating penalties but also improve customer relationships at a time when trust becomes the most valuable company asset of all.”

A&O IT One Solution clients can tap into the team’s specialists to better understand where they’re holding personal data, who can access it and which processes they must put in place to ensure their business is fully compliant. For some, this might involve introducing new systems to protect this information to the required level as well as updating privacy policies or even bringing on-board a data protection officer.

For others, the focus will be on introducing clear plans on how they will report data breaches within the GDPR’s required 72 hour limit and correctly handle any Subject Access Requests and ‘right to be forgotten’ applications.

Moore added:
“As cybercrime becomes more sophisticated and SMEs are perceived as easier targets, the GDPR is a timely opportunity for companies to ensure they put the right processes and security systems in place to future-proof their business.”

“As cybercrime advances and develops year on year, companies must be properly prepared to deal with phishing attacks, Ransomware, Trojans, malware etc. All companies must ensure that their IT systems are fully secured against attacks. Does your business ensure that all persons with data access are issued with written guidance on internet policy and data usage? Is your software regularly updated? Is your anti-virus software up to date and regularly utilised? Have you undertaken a threat analysis and kept it updated. If not you are probably exposed.”

Trade Facilities Services provides Electrical Safety Certificate for Landlords in London

$

London, UK – If you are looking for a company which provides electrical certificates in London, then there is no need to look further, Trade Facilities Services provides all types of electrical safety certificates for landlords. They will provide you an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) in London and Essex, which works for both domestic and commercial properties.

The first question which arises in everybody’s mind is why we require Electrical Safety Certificate. There are various reasons why a householder might request an EICR, and it is highly recommended for an electrician to show their EICR as a proof to the landlords during electrical installation safe age of the installation (the older the installation is, the more often an EICR must be carried out).

It ensures the safety of an electrical installation with a declaration that the new installation, alteration or addition is safe to use at the time it was put into service. It also depends on your building property, their limitations, and the type of electrical installation work, inspection and testing, that you have carried out for the building.

If you think that how an electrical safety certificate for landlords is useful, then with the help of this you can:

  • Identify the electrical faults which could cause shock or burns to humans or livestock.
  • Check if the installation is safe to use or not.
  • Check if there is protection against damage to property by fire or heat rising from a defective point.
  • Additions to the installation which could cause overloading.
  • Alterations to the installation which could cause harm or damage.
  • If there has been flooding or water damage due to a leak.

Apart from this, if an electrical installation and appliances provided by the landlords are not safe, then you could face:

  • A £5,000 fine
  • Six months imprisonment
  • Potential criminal charges in the event of injury or death
  • Invalidated property insurance

Of course, it’s your responsibility to cross check whether the electrical appliances are working properly or not, is there any electric fault, etc. Try to keep your property electrics in the best condition. Safe tenants are happy tenants and safe electrics also minimise the risk of costly damage to your property. So, it’s important to remember additional safety measures by the landlords while taking the position.

About the company:

Trade Facilities Services is an electrical testing company that provides (EICR) Electrical installation condition reports. These are otherwise known as Electrical Certificates, Electrical Installation Certificates and Electrical Reports. Trade Facilities Services covers London and Essex and provides all electrical testing in these areas. These include Fire alarms emergency lighting and PAT Testing.

It’s not easy being an innovator. In addition to raising capital for your business idea, you need to find an appropriate working environment and often also housing. For startups already in Berlin or moving there soon, a unique opportunity is now available. The startup incubator Fantastic Mr. Fox Ventures provides innovative creators and creative entrepreneurs with co-working and co-living spaces along with startup financing. Entrepreneurs should apply by December 15, 2017 www.FantasticMrFoxVentures.com.

“Berlin is the first choice for entrepreneurs in Germany and this will not change in the coming years. As office and residential space in the capital is scarce, I would like to support young startups not only with capital, but also with operating spaces,” explains Alexander Skora, owner of Fantastic Mr. Fox Ventures.

Three teams, which must go through two application rounds, will be able to work and live in Charlottenburg, Neukölln and Prenzlauer Berg from January 2018 for six to twelve months. In order to be able to finance future growth, the venture capital company Fantastic Mr. Fox provides equity capital. The amount of money depends on the needs of the startup. In addition to financing, entrepreneurs also have the option to get support from the incubator for operational matters.

In the first application phase, both founders and startups who want to start with their idea and are already on the market can qualify. The six best business ideas are selected among all applications. These winners of the first round will then pitch their business ideas before a selected jury in Berlin in the finals at the end of December. The project is accompanied by a video crew that documents the development of the startups over this period of time.

Startups can apply at the microsite www.FantasticMrFoxVentures.com (http://fantastic-mr-fox-ventures.com/en/) or by e-mail under einhornberlin@FantasticMrFoxVentures.com. The application should contain necessary personal data as well as a pitch deck (German or English) with a maximum of 10 pages. The written application period ends on December 15, 2017.

Francesca von Habsburg will kick off the program, giving insights into her own history of environmental protection and how art can contribute to the general recognition of the burden the ocean is under. Subsequently, performances, conversations and films will be presented on the subject “Creating a movement from the individual to the organisation”.
