Strongbox

Client: Strongbox Database Management Ltd

Strongbox commissioned Enterprise AB (EAB) in 2002 to set up the infrastructure to develop and implement the EnergySure register of energy sales personnel on behalf of the energy supply industry.

Project: online database

EAB specified and implemented a dedicated server based solution, which, over the years has proven to be reliable and cost-effective. The system is based on Open Source (Linux operating system, MySQL database) and consists of an online database of energy salesmen detailing their employment history and industry status. The database is used by all of the major energy suppliers to interrogate potential employees and to drive up industry standards.

Says Jeremy Thomas (Strongbox's CEO): "We are delighted with the solution that EAB implemented. We have been able to run the service in a cost-effective manner and without unplanned downtime, as EAB remotely maintain the systems. We are also delighted that the service that we provide is regularly and successfully audited by a major international auditing firm, evidence of the quality of the underlying technical infrastructure".
