The future of Boditrax enlists the help of Netmetix to provide a more flexible Technology Sourcing environment for its customers partnership began. After an initial introductory meeting, Netmetix offered various options that met boditrax’ requirements and were able to provide the more personal approach that they needed at a more competitive price. To make the whole process even easier, Netmetix were able to implement a multi-stage cloud rollout rather than jumping to the cloud in one giant leap. Paul Blore, Managing Director at Netmetix

Health, fitness and wellbeing digital solutions provider, boditrax, has recently partnered with Netmetix, cloud network specialists, to migrate to the cloud, manage a growing estate and create a more agile environment for customers to operate within. The business was previously hosted via a different provider through a
After discussing the options with their previous cloud provider, boditrax concluded that the migration costs quoted were too high, so started looking externally for a reputable provider that could deliver the infrastructure, customer service and support they required. Paul Blore, MD at Netmetix, is a boditrax user himself which is where the
The business saw almost instant benefits after implementation in October 2017, with a rollout on a Friday evening before the peak gym hours on Saturday morning, it delivered an immediate performance improvement to boditrax and their customers. The site has recorded just a single P1 incident (high priority incident in a live setting since implementation, where a client was unable to login to the system, which Netmetix rectified within just 20 minutes of notification). The solution is currently being utilised at one site across the Northern European region, with plans to expand rollout across additional areas in the near future.
Bav Jansari, Head of Development and Technology at boditrax commented “For me, they’re offering a managed service and it’s a prime example of what a managed service should be. The customer gives the client the requirements, the client proposes various options and we work collaboratively to discuss the pros and cons and how we should work together.” He adds “They do what they say they’re going to do. They provide us with confidence and we know we’re spending our money wisely, with them.” Paul Blore, MD at Netmetix adds “We’re really excited about the partnership with boditrax. Being an advocate for the brand myself, I was really excited to be able to offer them the infrastructure and support that they required. We’re really looking forward to future plans with the business.”

Kicking off the new year by looking into the future of technology sourcing, leading sourcing advisors Quantum Plus held their January event at the prestigious Shangri-La hotel at the Shard, London.
The event focused on bringing together both sides of the fence and was attended by some of Quantum Plus’s most valued clients. Guest speakers included AI and RPI specialist Andrew Burgess and an introduction to the Corsham Institute, the Wiltshire-based not for profit organisation that focuses on empowering the citizen in an ever-changing digital world. The hand-picked suppliers that work closely with Quantum Plus were asked to present on their hot topics for the future of technology sourcing – resulting in a variety of themes and approaches. Quantum Plus anchored the day with their insight into how to tackle the fast-moving world of technology sourcing and managing these relationships in a more efficient manner. Emerging themes were, the importance of deepening relationships to drive desired outcomes rather than just financial results, championing the human as well as the management aspects of partnerships and dealing with the hidden, as well as the hygiene, factors of partnerships. The event bought to light not only the required change in the traditional approach and sourcing strategy but the ability for suppliers to enable these changes. Bringing innovation to the buyer appears to be a definite gap in the market and leaves a question mark around the client ability to consume such fast-moving changes in technology without a guided tour of the options in relation to what they, as a buyer really need.

IMPARTIAL
Racegoers attending The Gentleman’s Raceday featuring The Betway Kingmaker Novices’ Chase on Saturday, February 10, enjoyed a warmer welcome as the first to officially go through the improved turnstiles. The new-look entrance fronted by a public plaza at The Jockey Club racecourse was opened by the Mayor of Warwick, Cllr Stephen Cross. He was joined by Andre Klein,
General Manager at Warwick Racecourse, Andy Clark, Chairman of Warwick Racecourse, and Charlie Brooks, Construction Director of Wigley Building and Development, the principal contractor on the project. The redevelopment, featuring a timber-clad entrance wall and canopy over new turnstiles, provides the racecourse with an improved entrance, and the public with an open landscaped area with seating that can be used all-year round. The scheme, designed by Roberts Limbrick Architects in
Gloucester, also marks the first step of the St Mary’s Lands Masterplan to improve the common land which is home to the racecourse and other community assets. Andre said: “The new entrance has been my number one priority since arriving at Warwick Racecourse. “It provides a much more welcoming approach to our great racecourse and will hopefully encourage more people to come racing and experience a day at our track. The operational improvements are significant as well.”
