Silicon.com's Gemma Simpson reports that UK small businesses will increase their IT budgets by 10.7 per cent in 2007. The top priority will be better ulitisation and analysis of their data.
This is obviously good news for Softalk, as all we do is software for small and medium size businesses. Very soon we'll be announcing a new product that makes it even easier for SMBs to use their data by sharing it more effectively.
If anyone has seen some similar figures from the US we'd be interested in hearing about them. Let us know in the comments. Thanks in advance.
On January 1 the new UK Companies Regulations came into force. The regulations apply to all UK limited companies and limited partnerships with websites and that use e-mail to communicate with customers.
The regulations mean that every UK company now has to list its company registration number, VAT number, place of registration and registered office address in legible characters on its website. The regulation even says that this information must also appear in e-mails and online order forms.
This has always been a requirement on business letterheads but has now been extended to cover websites, electronic order forms and electronic documents including email. Some of this was already implied in the 2002 E-commerce Regulations Act, but this new legislation clarifies it.
Directors of companies that fail to comply face a fine.
You can read the full details of the regulation here (warning - written in legal jargon).
The regulation is as a result of a European law, the First Company Law Amendment Directive, which had to be implemented by the end of 2006. This probably means that companies in all other EU member countries have to do the same thing, although sometimes countries miss the deadlines for implementing EU law.
Later we'll post some quick updates about how to ensure your email signatures are compliant if you are using WorkgroupMail, OfficeTalk or MailDisclaimer.
