4 The Digital Scaffolding Supporting Successful Universities We’re all aware that many organisations had to make drastic changes to ensure they could still function effectively during COVID-19. Universities were no exception to this change, embracing online learning and making substantial changes to behind the scenes systems. As the education sector continues to embrace technological advancements, universities across the UK are taking steps to improve their overall operational efficiency, and this has a natural focus on digital implementation. A study carried out in 2019 found that compared to the banking sector, universities spent 31% less of their annual budget on technology. However due to the demands to upgrade outdated systems more quickly than expected thanks to COVID-19, by the end of 2021 the Edtech industry is estimated to be worth £3.4 billion. As higher education institutions work towards embracing digital transformation at an organisational level, challenges can arise as it is important that a system suits the unique needs of the individual institution. Microsoft Dynamics 365 Consultants, Pragmatiq, are among the leaders in designing and deploying bespoke business solutions, and recently supported the University of Buckingham in optimising their technological capabilities to better serve their students. Previously, the University of Buckingham operated on a disparate Excel-based system which presented challenges to staff; A lack of mobile capabilities, limitations with reporting, and a strain on recruitment teams due to time-consuming processes. The University recognised it was time to upgrade their digital infrastructure to better support employees, students, and stakeholders. Pragmatiq’s Technical Director, Jamie Evans explains, “By optimising their digital infrastructure, universities can improve their access to key information, increase admission and retention rates, minimise errors, and provide a greater overall service.” By embracing technological advancements and working with Pragmatiq, the University of Buckingham saw a whole host of benefits to every aspect of their organisation. These benefits included improved access to data, a better student onboarding experience, enhanced communication, improved reporting, and a platform with the capabilities for future growth. These changes allow the University to operate with a streamlined approach as they adapt to a cloudbased, centralised solution. Speaking about Pragmatiq’s support, The University of Buckingham said, “Right from the start, Pragmatiq were extremely helpful and worked with us to design and develop a bespoke solution that suited our requirements.” “Throughout the process, the team were responsive, engaging and worked hard to understand our organisation and unique processes. I was particularly impressed by the team’s expertise and professionalism, and we now have a solution that supports various departments within the University and enhances the overall student experience.” As universities across the UK continue to adapt to the ever-evolving digital age, Pragmatiq is well-positioned to help them navigate these changes. By providing innovative tech solutions and expert support, they are helping to ensure that universities can provide the best possible experience for their students.
Issue 4 2023 5 News Leading IT provider launches new business to help reduce costs and downtime for SME’s Leading IT provider The Cent.re Group has launched a new division to help SME’s to cut costs and downtime on their IT. Uptime Allies, which is a subsidiary company of The Cent.re Group is a new Internet Service Provider (ISP) business will help SME’s reduce IT costs and improve service levels throughout the region and beyond. Uptime Allies, which was launched in March 2023 offers several self-serve packages for internet, email and webhosting, as well as leased lines, telephone and voice over internet (VOIP) services. In addition to off-the-shelf packages, Uptime Allies also offers business bundles tailored to micro-companies, small offices and co-working spaces, retail and hospitality. The company is also helping businesses prepare for the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) switch-off. The PSTN switchoff will shut down the traditional analogue telephone network that has been in use for decades. The switch-off is being carried out by telecommunication companies as they migrate their voice communication services to digital technologies like Voice over IP (VoIP) and mobile networks or internet- based communication platforms like Skype or WhatsApp. Uptime Allies, which was set up by The Cent.re Group directors Karl Mitchell and James Creese has direct relationships with end suppliers (carriers) rather than acting as a reseller or middle man. Operations Director Karl said: “We set up Uptime Allies because we were being approached by a lot of companies for help with their business connectivity and telecommunications. They required accessible and reliable services, without the additional costs of managed support and long contract tie-ins. More often than not, companies don’t know they are buying repackaged services through a third party, so if something goes wrong, they find themselves three or four times removed from the company providing the service. We are hoping we will save our customers time, money and frustration with the new service and it’s a quickly scalable proposition for us.” The Cent.re Group has launched the service to complement its existing managed IT services division, IT Cent.re.

Issue 4 2023 13 Feb23633 Best Data Processing & Technology Platform 2023 – USA Knowledge Hub Media is a key player in the B2B advertising space, with core competencies in innovative advertising technology. Here’s a look at the work of this advanced company, and its President and CEO Paul Guenther, as it wins a title from Corporate Vision. Founded in 2009, Knowledge Hub Media began life as IT Knowledge Hub. Ever since its inception it has been a prominent player in the B2B advertising environment, with key skills in demand generation and content syndication. The company generates leads via assets such as white papers, webinars, and case studies. Its clients consist mainly of software and technology industry players, or advertising/media agencies working on their behalf. Most Knowledge Hub Media clients are promoting technology platforms and software solutions. Paul Guenther is President and CEO of the company. He has spoken with us to discuss the outset of his entrepreneurial journey, which for him started at Penn State University in 2002. He began here by determining he wanted to go to law school, and so decided to major in crime, law and justice. After graduating in Spring 2006, this is indeed what he did. Balancing his law school attendance with a part-time night school programme and also socialising with friends. This combination inevitably led to a lack of focus, and Paul feels he was not in all honesty ready to take on such challenges at the time. In retrospect, this may have actually been a blessing in disguise however, as it led to Paul’s decision to go back to study in 2008. This time around he did an MBA concentrated on marketing management at Wilmington University. During his course, Paul also began working on the project that was to eventually become Knowledge Hub Media. Once his MBA was completed, he turned his focus to the company fulltime. He worked tirelessly throughout most nights to get things off the ground covering everything from sales to marketing, accounting, and website development. Paul was very much a one-man-band in the early days, but he was thrilled to be able to take on his first employees over the next couple of years. By 2020, the business was up and running, and Paul had also achieved a doctorate in business administration. He has some sage advice about the most important qualities a business leader must possess. “Believe in yourself. Whether you think you can or think you can’t… Either way you’re going to end up being right about it. Always learn from your mistakes – and never repeat them. Don’t ever make the same mistake twice. Live in the now. When you think about it, the present is the only tense you can actually control. The past has already happened… And the future is basically just a goal… A projection for what you want to happen down the line. The present is actually happening right now.” Paul believes in business everything is about ownership and accountability. If things ever go poorly you must understand and admit your mistakes. Apologise and make sure moving forward things are changed. Conversely, when things go right it is important to give credit to the people who deserve it. Remember one person can’t do it all. It takes a confluence of amazing people with beautiful personalities to build and maintain a strong company. The company has great strengths in analytics, having seriously engaged in big data for a long time. It uses its Intent Datacloud to measure consumption of B2B across multiple channels. This tool can help enhance its customers experiences, something integral to the company. Knowledge Media Hub always puts its customers at the heart of what it’s doing, as they are the most important thing. Offering a great customer experience is its primary goal. Knowledge Hub Media have achieved many accolades over the years. It has made the Inc. 5000 list three years in a row and been honoured as an Entrepreneur 360 company in Entrepreneur Magazine. It has also been named as one of the most innovative advertising technology companies of 2020-2021 at the InterCon awards. Knowledge Hub Media is now able to add to its award-winning roster its latest award as Best Data Processing & Technology Platform 2023 – USA. It certainly is a company who, together with its CEO, is building robust influence and success right across the board.
