STEM

STEM Ambassador

 

 

 

 

The culmination of STEM experience gained through my lifelong hobby and career, has now gained me a path as a voluntary STEM Ambassador.

Passing on some wisdom and experience will hopefully help inspire and set the seed, to our future young engineers, just as I experienced as a child.

Contributing to the community is so important and rewarding, so proud to do my little bit.

 

About

Dave Williams | Engineer

As a practical hands-on person, with an array of both professional and life-long personal involvements within Engineering, Radio Communications, RF and Electronics industry, together with Business Information Technology (covering various aspects of Corporate hardware, Bespoke software, Embedded software, Accountancy and SQL database development, Design and Consultancy), this has provided me with a range of practical skills, knowledge and motivation.

The culmination of this broad range of life-long experience channels through in my work and dedication within the high tech electronics industry, leading technologies and innovation, certification, project management and implementation of product R&D pre-compliance, to full certification for EMC, FCC, ISED, RED and Global Market Access.

Electronic Engineering, coupled with Software, and Research and Development, play an important motivational seed in both hobby and career projects.  Supporting community projects and mentoring as a STEM Ambassador.

Support

Providing quality support, when it’s needed, is an important part of our services for both existing and new solutions.

  • Project Scoping and Documentation
  • Business Processes and Controls
  • Design, Testing, Implementation and Training
  • User Support and Quality Management Controls
  • Remote and On-Site Technical Support

This process starts in providing professional customer support through project scoping, documentation, business processes, leading up eventual design, through to testing, implementation, training and after-sales.

In addition, applications designed by DitroniX include a quality control monitoring mechanism within the software and database fault monitoring process, where possible. This allows for both automatic and/or manual reporting of any system problems, support needs and feedback.

Our support ticketing system logs all submissions and provides an automatic ticket number, and then allocates a severity in which to be resolved or auctioned as needed. Email alerts are used to confirm the ticket support reference and any subsequent actions taken.

Provision of remote access software/database support and telephone support would normally be part of our continued support service and any optional software support maintenance. This would be within the project remit and in line with your remote network security access policy. All remote and on-site support is logged on time sheets which can be reported if required.

For further details of our software and database support services and how they can help you, please feel free to contact us.

Internet

The Internet is a very important part of our lives and provide an effective corporate awareness for all companies, clubs, institutions, local businesses, associations etc.

DitroniX provide a range of support and management services, each of which are tailored to meet your specific needs and requirements.

  • Domain Name Registration and Management
  • Website Design and Management
  • Intranet, Extranet and Hosted Websites
  • Website Hosting and Management
  • Mobile Phone Web Based Applications (WebApp)
  • Social Media

Other Internet Services and Support

  • Online Databases and Secure eCommerce
  • Corporate Email Hosting including Microsoft Exchange
  • Co-located Servers (shared or fully secure and dedicated)
  • Domain DNS and Network Management
  • Digital Mapping and GPS Services

Corporate and brand internet awareness would initially stem from having an associated Internet Domain Name, maybe together with multiple linked domain names or domain extensions for example .co.uk, .com, .net etc. Other areas include quickly identifying your requirements through internet search engines.

Website themes would normally reflect the corporate colours, logos and branding. The website often partly or totally replacing the original company printed brochures using the new age of ‘electronic’ advertising and promotion.

Dynamic web pages provide an important extension to the conventional ‘static’ websites by allowing the pages to be created in real time from online databases. Examples of this range from eBay, Google, train timetables, flight information systems, online booking systems, through to internet shops, forums, club sites and company support information.

A large proportion of dynamic websites either use a simple database located on the website storage area (ISP) or more commonly have a database located at the company’s offices which maybe also connected to both local users, through Intranet web based systems, or to external users through, Extranet bases systems.

Microsoft Exchange Email was traditionally run from a local company server. With advances in technology, increased flexibility and reducing costs, Hosted Exchange services are proving to expand in demand for corporate email. This couples with mobile phone push email technology.

DitroniX would be happy to discuss your requirements whether they are static or dynamic based websites, including intranet and extranet database solutions.

For further details of our Website related services and how they can help you, please feel free to contact us.
