Virya Technologies are in the process of becoming an approved Google Apps partner, and during this process we have a special offer for businesses wishing to make the move to the cloud.

Virya Technologies recently launched a side-project to their regular functions of providing website design and IT Support, to provide a means of distributing the range of open source software developed by the organisation.

After interviewing a strong field of candidates for the role of Website Design Apprentice, Virya Technologies are delighted to announce that Chris Smith will be starting work full time at our Ipswich offices in early October.

Virya Technologies are keen to support any events involving the Joomla! community and are proud to be speaking at Joomla!Day UK 2011 this weekend, leading a session on Joomla! security for administrators.

Local businesswoman Ruth Cheesley dives in to support those with spinal injuries

22 Miles over 12 weeks is no mean feat especially for Virya Technologies' Director Ruth Cheesley, who is taking to her local pool to raise money for those living with spinal cord injuries in the UK. The Aspire Channel Swim is one of the projects run by Aspire - a charity that offers support to over 40, 000 people living with spinal cord injury in the UK.

Virya Technologies has seen substantial growth over the past six months, and we have outgrown our small office at 9 Basepoint Business Centre, so we're on the move! 

We are receiving a growing number of enquiries regarding upgrading or migrating Joomla! websites - from Joomla! 1.0.x sites through to Joomla! 1.5.x and Joomla! 1.6.x sites which our clients want to update to the latest release - Joomla! 1.7. Here are a few answers to the common questions we're receiving.

Do you have a Joomla! 1.5.x website that needs upgrading to 1.7.x?

This tutorial will show you how, step by step.

Virya Technologies' business ethos is based on the Buddhist principles of Dana (generosity).

It is for this reason that Virya Technologies actively seeks to support charities and not-for-profit organisations - to build and maintain their websites by offering them pro-bono or heavily discounted services, funded by their corporate projects.

 

It was a question that we have been pondering for quite some time - how to set up our business processes such that our staff can work as effectively from home as they can from the office - which became even more pressing with the imminent arrival of a baby to one of our core team members, necessitating flexible working arrangements. 

Virya Technologies had always operated our own in-house systems but they were creaking with the increasing demands of using multiple computers, multiple operating systems, and working hundreds of miles away from the office for periods of time.

 

Today Virya Technologies launched the first in a series of videos helping newcomers to the Joomla! Content Management System get started with this growing web design system.

 

Being approached to work with a client for a second time is always a great moment for a business, and when Johann from RSN Online contacted us with an ambitious proposal to merge several rural portals into one news portal for rural news and information, we were happy to advise and plan this exciting project.
