Pulse Announces new Chief Operating Officer
Michael Schlicker is a great addition to the Pulse team. So I recommend you watch this space cause there’s something new brewing at Pulse…
iPhone to run Smart-control homes
To sum it up, the recession has shifted the consumer mindset when it comes to home automation systems. It’s no longer about novelty, but about energy efficiency. Pulse Technologies is offering a range of home automation products that assist the average consumer in monitoring the output of energy from your home…so your sure to save some cash.
Efficiency is a key requirement in all economic sectors, especially now with the global economic downturn. Why not bring it home as well?
BTW, a big thank you to our friends at Hill & Knowlton.
Released in Emirates 24/7 on 28/09/09.
Dubai gaining prominence as an IT hub
This is old news for one of our clients (Pulse), but was just released in the UAE Digest on 21/09/09. It’s clear international investors are looking to the Gulf and Dubai to tap into talent in a still growing market with Yahoo’s more recent acquisition of Maktoob and Intel Capital’s support of regional IT players (below) back in the Spring of 2009.
Dubai e-service for licence renewal
The Dubai Department of Economic Development launched a new e-service for businesses on its website for electronic license renewal www.dubaided.gov.ae/English/eServices
I have not yet used the Department of Economic Development’s e-service portal, would appreciate any feedback regarding ease of use, overall experience etc
I have used other government websites, Dubai traffic, fines 
, Salik and whilst they enable to user to perform the task required, the overall experience is very stale and flat.
Personally I feel that most government websites globally need an overhaul in terms of IA and design, but at least in Dubai e-services are being rolled out to residents and businesses, it’s a good start.
Keep collaborating,
