Infoplex takes on Fife's Most Enterprising Student
As part of the Shell STEP scheme for undergraduates, Infoplex took on student Chris Daykin and gave him an insight into the development of a new software product, preparing for launch.
Chris worked on the development of an innovative new software product for Infoplex called OrderBooks. OrderBooks merges Microsoft Outlook, CRM and TAS BOOKS into a single system and offers every business the opportunity to capture the benefits of an enterprise-wide management system at a fraction of the complexity and cost associated with large-scale ERP software - giving big business advantages to smaller firms.
As a result of Chris' placement, Infoplex now has an updated version of the code in which OrderBooks is written, up-to-date components in the program, and new features. The new and updated code that Chris has written allows the other Infoplex developers to expand the project easily, including future integration with other Sage and QuickBooks products. The company can now rapidly complete development of the program and offer the new and updated OrderBooks to their customers, which is anticipated to make the company around £150,000 in extra sales during its first year of release.
Mark Ramsay, Managing Director, Infoplex, said: "Chris's project was a natural follow on from the marketing work done by another Shell STEP student in 2007. He was thrown in at the deep end and did some excellent work under technically difficult circumstances. I am delighted that he was rewarded with a place in the Shell STEP Scottish Final."
