Now it’s the beginning of 2016 and that’s great! But when we look back, the last 12 months were full of good events and changes for Octagon Technology.
Why was 2015 a great year for us?
1. As part of the celebrations for Octagon Technology’s 20th Anniversary in 2015, we sponsored the UK based, award winning podcast StarShipSofa hosted by Tony Smith. As part of this sponsorship activity we helped Tony promote the 400th show with a social media competition and prizes.
2. The 2015 was also a great time for launching our new service – Hosted Exchange System and not only that but also, later in the year, our servers have been approved compliant for use with Criminal Justice Secure eMail – CJSM.
3. Octagon Technology grew by two team members in 2015. Although I joined the company in November 2014, actually in January 2015 I was Assistant to the Managing Director working full-time. I joined the team with lots of enthusiasm and positive energy towards both the Company and their clients and have written so many great articles, both in English and Polish. My colleagues believe that I’m a great team-player who is always happy and ready to help both the team and their clients. And I suppose this is true!
Eighteen-year-old Connor Jeffery is the latest member of the Octagon Technology team, joined the company as apprentice in March 2015 and in December Connor was no longer an apprentice to us but a vital member of our client support team.
4. In April 2015 Octagon Technology sponsored one of the regular events by The Business Club Lincolnshire which is today known as Positive Networking. Clive did a presentation on Octagon Technology and everyone enjoyed listening to him speak as well as a delicious cupcakes with Octagon logo on.
5. The May was another just great month of 2015 which began with Clive’s presentation at The Business Network Lincoln held at the Jocasta’s.
Clive was explaining about the importance of a strong password for data and business security.
6. Also in May 2015 Octagon Technology have partnered with B&G HR and Johnstone Insurance and held a very successful seminar in order to help local businesses improve their understanding of the risk of losing important information and provide them with some positive actions to take back to their businesses to combat these risks.
During the seminar Clive said:
‘People have to take responsibility for their computer systems, for what they do in business, for when they interface with your data, your email or your clients’ information. It all starts with strong passwords for all your online accounts, this really is the key to online security.’
7. 20th Anniversary party
The June of 2015 was our celebration month. Octagon Technology celebrated its 20th birthday and this celebrations started with a staff full English breakfast at one of our favourite local cafes in the morning….
…and a stunning party in the afternoon…lots of guests, fun, cake and balloons… and now great memories!
We had a raffle and we raised £250 for LIVES – local charity… our beautiful and delicious cake was prepared by the best cake makers in the county – Angels Desserts. What an enjoyable time!
8. The 2015 was a very successful year for Octagon Technology. The team attended a substantial number of business meetings and we drank lots of coffee…
This is why 2015 was such a great year for Octagon Technology and guess what? 2016 will be twice as great!
If you need any technical advice please let me know…always happy and ready to help!
