London, 13th November 2009 – An Italian IT team in London launched a web platform which lets companies have a simple and safe system to stay connected with all the managers that will get ill in the next few weeks because of the new flu.
The web platform has been carried out by an Italian IT team working in London managed by Marco Macorigh, a businessman from Friuli Venezia Giulia, and thanks to Tradinvest it will let managers to connect with their workplace in an innovative way. “Every company is getting ready to deal with the illness absences and technology can help in keeping the decision-making centres active. We have a long experience in the web TV sector and this new product is our answer to the market needs: as soon as the web platform is ready we will close the first deals” Macorigh explains.
The connection system lets a direct audio-visual communication between “crisis units” and other people at the same time, so if necessary there can be online intruder-free meetings. This system can be used from any internet connection. The platform is made of an encrypt and restricted connection system (anti-intruder measure) and there is no need of downloading any software, even from hospitals or home broadbands.
This very simple system, sponsored by Tradinvest, was first made for online education courses in Canada and as a supportative project in Kenya.
Every company will be able to deal with the numerous illness absences thanks to a connection space which can be set up in a few hours and used for unlimited time. “We saw what happened in the USA and Canada a couple of months ago when a lot of companies had to slow down their business activities because of many managers ill at home at the same time. During the first days of a flu people obviously have rest but the prognosis suggests not to have any face-to-face contact even when the physical conditions get better in order to avoid the virus spreading. That’s when our product can be very functional and companies have already started to check the market” says Marco Macorigh, manager from Friuli Venezia Giulia.
It’s a very innovative product on the European market where there is no system that allows safe audio-visual and exchange documents connections between many people at the same time and using basic broadbands.
In the last few months the system has been tested for different uses like video conferences and online training, so Marco Macorigh sharply decided to re-adapt the service on people who need to be connected from home basis. This way the companies will not stop their productivity because of the many illness abcences expected in Europe for the next weeks due to the high spreading capacity of the virus.
There is also a similar web platform about to be launched designed to connect schools with their students. “Probably the students will not be happy to know that they now can attend their classes from home, using a system even simplier than the ones they use to connect with friends. There is a clear risk of a courses slowdown based on the absences data of some Italian regions, and of Canada and USA a few months ago. We are changing our system to offer the possibility of virtual classes: any computer and broadband is enough to get connected and the service id designed to work with the average Italian schools connections which are often not very fast.” comments Macorigh.
