Education:

M-Tech Systems has had a very strong relationship with the education sector from day one. All of our staff have, at some point in their career, worked at an educational establishment, gaining experience across the board from IT to audio visual. With all this experience in mind we expect you to find that M-Tech can smoothly steer your school though the technological and brand minefield of information and communication technology provision.

West Rise Primary School

Eastbourne Junior School West Rise have opted to join the M-Tech experience in all product and service aspects. After the departure of their onsite part time technician the school was faced with a dilemma—do we re fill the post or seek an alternative solution for provision and technical support. M-Tech were able to step straight into the shoes of not only the previous post holder but also, due to our comprehensive knowledge of ESCC 'integrated' networks, the role of the LEA technician. M-Tech technicians will now attend site for half a day per week, bringing with them a wealth of knowledge from years of combined experience in education and the advantage of the latest cutting edge technologies and ideas from the corporate arena.The entire campus has been ‘wireless enabled' to allow staff to roam the school with their laptops, and a building-to-building wireless link has been installed between the main building and the outlying studio. A new Admin server will be installed shortly with Microsoft Exchange to not only improve message flow, but to provide collaboration facilities for Microsoft Project, an idea pioneered by Deputy Head, Neil Small. West Rise have also opted for the Prism suite to eventually reduce the network's total cost of ownership with flexible software distribution and other key features. “We can telephone M-Tech, place a new software CD in a computer's CDROM drive and within minutes the program is available to all users across the school's fifty or so computers” “The ability to support, install and tweak our network remotely is now an indispensable commodity. Altogether, M-Tech have made a vast difference to our school's technology” says Neil.

We also supply a comprehensive managed support service covering all computers, servers and AV equipment, as well as providing training and guidance for staff in the latest software and hardware.

Corporate:

The corporate world has many applications for Smart products. Staff training, product seminars and technical annotation are just some of the potential uses for this new and exciting technology. The product range not only caters for the provision of static boards but incorporates plasma overlays and small mobile boards, allowing the sales force to benefit from the advent of interactive technology.

PRG Publicity

Founded in 1981, PRG are a full service communications agency offering a wide menu of b2b and consumer PR, marketing, advertising, design and Internet communications. The company is led by Managing Director, Raymond Groves MIPR, a former journalist and trade magazine editor.

PRG tasked M-Tech to provide a 600 series board and projector for their boardroom. Having seen the Smart solutions in trade press, director Simon Groves felt that the company could benefit from an injection of audio visual technology. “Our customers have been blown away not only by the technology itself, but the way we can now put across our product to them” said Simon.

PRG are soon to refurbish their boardroom and are very keen to take advantage of the new 600i series board with built in projection technology.

East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service

ESFRS recently tasked M-Tech to provide a large 680 model board for their ICT training facility at Head Quarters in Eastbourne . Fully fitted with audio, we delivered an induction to Smart software to key staff, enable them to bring presentations to life. The operational training centre at Maresfield is currently undergoing extensive improvement, and will soon benefit from Smart technology to aid the training of Fire Fighters in operational scenarios.
