After yesterday's internal service outage here at Extensible Messaging Ltd caused an interrupted tea service, some people questioned the strategy of using in-house kettles. Some sorry souls even suggested a microwave. The question of whether to develop an internal service, or whether to outsource to a provider, is a complex one with a number of trade-offs. In our case, sourcing the vast amount of tea required could be done by frequent trips to a large, specialised hot beverage provider - but would be unlikely to be as cost effective or as convenient. We could also pull in a specialist to help with a specific part of the process. This latter is, of course, what we do as a company - providing open source software and the expertise behind it to organisations that can then concentrate on what they need to do. If you use an XMPP based solution within your organisation and want a bit of help, let me know. As with many things, I have elected to use a hybrid solution. While final brewing takes place in-house and on premises, the tea bags are sourced from a general supplier, and milk direct from the farm. Water, of course, is sourced from the cloud.

Re-Intro Time! (Please feel free to repost) I’ve been in my current contract for over TEN months now at Evergreen Life (where HAS the time gone?!) as Quality & Compliance Manager, and my time here will soon be complete… It’s been an amazing journey, full of exciting challenges and successful projects, including: 👌🏼 ISO Accreditation: Led the ISO 9001 & 14001 accreditation for two businesses within 5 months with zero non-conformities! 👌🏼 SharePoint Implementation: Designed and built a single source of truth, improving collaboration and efficiency with dynamic lists, versioning, tracking, and more. 👌🏼 Process Redesign: Enhanced key procedures to maximise systems usage, making them more practical and user-friendly. 👌🏼 QMS Development: Created a Quality Management System that manages document approvals and review cycles to ensure high standards. 👌🏼 Data-Driven Decisions: Centralised reporting and tracking to support more informed business decisions. 👌🏼 Continuous Improvement: Worked closely with stakeholders to drive a culture of continuous improvement and smart solutions. 👌🏼 Streamlined Procedures: Optimised processes for more efficiency, making them easier to follow and implement. But as all good things come to an end, I'm now looking ahead to my next challenge and a new contract starting January 2025! Could it be with you? 👀 I specialise in Continuous Improvement, Quality Assurance, Project & Program Management, and Compliance, with a strong skillset in IT, Business Support, Audit, and Recruitment. I LOVE: 🌟 A challenge 🌟 Solving problems 🌟 Implementing change projects 🌟 Aligning company processes with technology 🌟 Continuous improvement 🌟 Streamlining processes 🌟 Smashing targets 🌟 Learning new skills 🌟 Getting the job DONE! I’m ideally looking for a permanent, remote role, but I’m flexible for the right opportunity. If you’re looking for someone who doesn’t just tick boxes but truly drives continuous improvement and best practices, we should chat… What I’m NOT: ❌ A “yes person” ❌ Someone who creates documents just for the sake of it ❌ Ticking boxes for an accreditation What I AM: ✅ ALL about supporting a culture of continuous improvement ✅ Someone who builds solid foundations and best practices ✅ A fan of working smarter, not harder If this sounds like the kind of approach your business needs, I’d love to connect with you. All shares massively appreciated, thank you for reading! Amanda (Mandy)

Your employees aren't going to use your intranet if they don't like it. Wheelhouse Credit Union overhauled their existing stale intranet in favour of IC's purpose-built, audit-ready and compliant-focused software. The problems:  🚧 Siloed - Isolated teams lead to a disconnected information flow across branches. 🎨 Static - Lacking common branding and cohesion meant teams created intranets within intranets. 📪 Unused - Their previous system acted more as an “employee newsletter” than a full credit union intranet. Now, RED (Resources Education Development), is the first thing employees see every day when they log in and the last thing they see when they log out. Going with IC means:  ⚙️ Pre-built and Ready to Go - The NEW intranet was ready to use right after launch by using IC's pre-built apps and widgets, like the employee directory and online interactive forms. 📋 Audit-Ready at All Times - Audits are a breeze with software that stores dated forms and communications. 📊 Streamlined Compliance - Wheelhouse CU can easily track member complaints, front-line feedback, and requests with compliance-friendly forms.
