LCH who started with GENESYS 15 years ago with a four user system and have expanded to over 80 users during that time was acquired by Speedy Hire for £59,000,000
Throughout the whole time LCH were able to use GENESYS. Very few software products would be practical to install at 4 users and expand without changing the basic system. Another real life success story and we wish John and James all the best and look forward to a successful relationship with Speedy Hire

Reducing Nine Servers to Two. That's INTELLIGENT IT! |
|
When it comes to recommending a Complete Business System for a medium size business you will find that YLEM offer incredible value. For example for an eighty user system with Mail, File and Print, Application and Database functionality YLEM would recommend a two server Linux solution. One main server and a backup server. The backup normally being on a
remote site giving full disaster recovery as well as normal backup.
You will find that many Microsoft resellers will recommend an nine server solution for the same eighty user system.

Launch of The Knowledge - Summer 06 |
 Ylem are proud to announce the launch of an incredible new addition to their product range. The knowledge is the latest brain child of our technical director Bill Wilson. A system designed from the ground up to be tailored for any application, process or need. It can be used for problems as diverse as sales management, HR, Training records, PAT Testing or even policing and detection.
Talking at the internal product launch meeting in September Bill said: " I recognised the shortcomings in most CRM systems including our own. When people move jobs;When companies change names or addresses;When companies / people have multiple addresses, phone numbers, email addresses etc. etc. Most systems just do not cope "
Bill went on to say "we set out create a system with very simple rules, but no limitations, about data items and how they interact with each other. Then we would be able to easily develop and grow very complex systems for a multitude of purposes" The possible applications and flexibility of such a system are staggering. Where analysis and management of complex data sets that involve people, places, items and organisations is needed the Knowledge provides the solution.
Items can be as diverse as being actual physical items, concepts, hobbies or activities, training programs, contracts etc. In fact Items can be anything imaginable. Acting on informationThe Knowledge is more than just having the power to manage complex data sets. It is about being able to schedule activities and actions and act upon the data.
