Doreen has previously worked as an executive assistant and a project manager for Virya Technologies, and is currently our Business Development Manager.  She seeks out and finds great opportunities for us, and makes sure we are telling the world about all the amazing work we do. 

Doreen is also responsible for managing out regular newsletters, mailshots, and social media communications as well as keeping an eye when people are asking for help with Joomla! or Open Source systems.  She has an extremely keen eye for detail and is an incredibly well organised manager!

Do you need to implement flexible working for your organisation?

Is mobile working becoming more important?

Why not consider moving your business processes to the cloud?  We took the step of moving Virya Technologies' IT infrastructure to the cloud back in June 2011, so we know first hand what it's like before, during and after making such a move.

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.

Most businesses will create and rely on hundreds if not thousands of documents every year. We all recognise the importance of retaining these documents until we can be sure they are no longer required, but what of the other resources we use?

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.

The Internet is awash with speculation following allegations that the IPSEC cryptographic stack in OpenBSD was furnished with a backdoor at the behest of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).

The allegations were made by Gregory Perry in an e-mail to one of the founders of NetBSD - Theo De Raadt – and were published on the BSD mailing lists so that a code audit can be undertaken by those with an interest in doing so.

If such a backdoor does exist, it could allow the FBI (and conceviably others) to decrypt communications between servers, whether those communications take place over a Virtual Private Network (VPN) or over a Secure Shell Connection (SSH).

This whitepaper will examine the precedents for this allegation as well as the potential impact that such a revelation could have on businesses around the world.
