Johannesburg based internet technology solutions company - Technology Concepts - developed “channel bonding” technology over 18 month ago as a means of connecting broadband ADSL lines to provide higher-speed connections to businesses. The concept of the technology was to provide South African companies with a service to replace their much more expensive leased lines service and ultimately improve their connectivity experience of the Internet.

The small to medium sized business tier is where leading-edge networking lives. Enterprise-level companies focus on tried and tested solutions. Safe bets. Smaller companies are more inclined to test the waters with new technologies, and even to deploy consumer-focused offerings should these work for them. This is not to say that value is not important, but SME businesses want their challenges solved rapidly and are not overly picky on the shape of the plug, but are more concerned with the hole it fills.

Mimecast, the leading provider of online unified email management (UEM) solutions and services, today announced that Technology Concepts had become a Mimecast Business Partner.

Innovation has always been a hallmark of South African organisations often hamstrung in their technology usage by circumstances beyond their control - lacklustre Internet connectivity and broadband services being top of mind at present. And Rivonia-based Technology Concepts is a perfect example of this innovation with its new TC Channel Bonding service.

Johannesburg IT company Technology Concepts has come up with a clever way of connecting broadband ADSL lines to provide higher-speed connections to businesses. It has developed a machine, known as a channel bonding box, that "fuses" up to five ADSL connections, providing download speeds of up to 20 Mbit/s (five times Telkom's fastest 4 Mbit/s ADSL offering).

Technology Concepts has come up with a high-speed service that overcomes the congestion and performance limitations associated with normal ADSL, giving you the performance normally only found with multiple 2 Mb leased lines.

No matter how much the technology industry has droned on about the importance of backing up critical data, there are still daily examples of panic-stricken individuals berating themselves for failing to protect their information. However, one company reckons it has the answer for individual computer users right through to medium-sized companies – and it is a solution so simple and inexpensive that those unfortunate souls who don’t avail themselves of the service really will have to kick themselves if their data is lost.

Internet solutions company Technology Concepts has successfully provided Website technology to United Kingdom-based marketing agency Ogilvy Primary Contact, saving it time and money for its line-of-business Internet promotional solutions.

With spam becoming an increasing problem for Internet users, businesses need to ensure the highest possible level of email integrity to keep their connectivity costs down and to reduce the time employees spend on identifying and removing spurious emails.

Introstat, the national printer solutions company, has experienced a 100% increase in sales volumes on its e-Commerce web site in each of the two years since its design and implementation by Technology Concepts, the specialist Internet solutions company who also hosts the Introstat website.

Technology Concepts has developed a tool which gives businesses the ability to fight back against peer to peer (P2P) applications that steal expensive network bandwidth.

Optimising existing bandwidth is a far more cost-effective solution for companies struggling to satisfy their burgeoning Internet connectivity requirements than investing in more bandwidth.

It’s a business fact in South Africa that Internet usage is constrained because bandwidth is expensive. As a result of budgetary considerations, many companies ‘make do’ with too little bandwidth, which badly affects productivity and efficiency.

If the main purpose of a customer relationship management (CRM) solution is intended to give companies a competitive edge, and if every organisation believes it offers its customers something a little unique, then the very concept of an off-the-shelf CRM solution is an oxymoron.

How do you manage an email marketing campaign to 2500 people, each of whom requires different messages, every week for eight weeks - and all while maintaining the theme and branding of the event and managing the various databases?

An electronic corporate newsletter that anyone with only the most elementary PC know-how can compile and edit? A newsletter that clearly reflects the corporate brand yet doesn’t consume precious network bandwidth – and is also firewall friendly? A newsletter that is sent to an easy-to-manage and always up-to-date database at the click of a mouse? Sound impossible?

The electronic newsletters have come a long way since they first made their appearance on the corporate communications scene some eight years ago as simple, e-mail message supplements to the “real” full-colour, printed newsletter.

With the IT and Internet industries around the world only now starting to show signs of revival following what has become known as the “ dot-bomb” phenomenon, questions are being asked about how and why some companies survived while others – often perceived as bigger, stronger and more well-known – are but a memory.
