In 2004, Government undertook an exercise to project how the Isle of Man economy would look, 10 years ahead in 2014. The exercise was called “2014 – the can do economy”. Basically this exercise looked at how the existing sectors of the Isle of Man economy would change over the next ten years looking at worst, average and best scenarios. The exercise also attempted to identify brand new sectors which could emerge during the next 10 years. Perhaps not surprisingly, e-business was identified as one of the sectors with the most growth potential. In fact, the 2014 report concluded that the e-business sector is “…likely to witness significant growth ( by 2014 ) to become potentially the second largest sector behind banking.” It also states that e-Business “…offers the greatest potential for the future” and that GDP growth within the sector is anticipated to increase “five – fold.”.

BCS Talk: Field Service Management Technologies - A case studyThe Isle of Man Section of the BCS is holding a talk tomorrow on Field Service Management. Here’s the blurb:
Field Service Management, the discipline of deploying service engineers and customer service representatives most effectively to resolve problems encountered in the field, is one of the least understood and exploited business disciplines. Despite the deep penetration of information technology systems into most common business disciplines, the majority of organisations undertaking Field Service still use cumbersome manual processes and systems which are more labour intensive and less efficient than they need be, leading to sub-optimal field-based workforce efficiency and poor customer satisfaction.
