Region?s firms tap into groundbreaking technology

Cloud computing specialist Big Little Fish is gearing up to introduce a groundbreaking new product to North East businesses which could revolutionise the way firms operate in the region.

The County Durham technology business is to host a major event which aims to show the region’s businesses how they can take advantage of the latest addition to its portfolio of SME services, Soonr Workplace.

Soonr is a collaboration and mobile content management tool that provides a safe, cloud-based system for the uploading and sharing of files which comes with added management and security features built-in.

It is especially applicable for work on projects that involve individuals in and out of the office or between different departments and allows files to be securely shared using any device, including tablets, smartphones, PCs and laptops.

Big Little Fish, which specialises in helping SMEs significantly improve their performance using cloud-based software, will host a Soonr introductory event next month at the HUB workspace on Aycliffe Business Park in County Durham.

The event, on 6th February from 10am until 12 noon, comes on the back of growing interest in the region in the benefits of Soonr Workplace and will give delegates all the information they need to begin taking advantage of the software.

Rebecca Scally, managing director of Big Little Fish, said: “We’re really excited about our Soonr Workplace service and we think it complements our portfolio of cloud services for SMEs.

“Soonr Workplace enables users to organise, manage and share files both internally and externally from any device anywhere and is an excellent way of becoming significantly more efficient and productive without breaking the bank.”

One North East firm that has already benefitted from Big Little Fish’s Soonr Workplace service is Darlington-based PR company Harvey & Hugo.

Managing director Charlotte Nichols said: “Recently one of our team member’s computer crashed but fortunately we had Soonr Workplace installed and they’d saved all of their files to it, therefore when the computer died they did not lose all of their work and they could log on to their brand new computer with access to all of their previous documents. If Soonr wasn’t installed they would have lost all of their files.

“Soonr is extremely flexible and easy to use. We’re able to add users at any point, share content with clients when we are away from our desks and get hold of a document without going back to the office. We’re extremely happy with it.”
