UK2 Group Unites Operations Under a Global ?Cloud? Intranet

London, England (PRWEB) January 28, 2012

The UK2 Group has announced the live deployment of a sophisticated Cloud-driven Intranet system designed to connect hundreds of employees across the United States and Europe.

The Intranet will service their employees in the U.S and existing operations in the United Kingdom and other areas on the European continent, including the Ukraine.

The enterprise employee portal was engineered from the ground-up, and includes a number of unique features pioneered by their internal IT development team.

?It allows our various business units to tightly coordinate global departmental news, calendar events, multimedia and policy information under one central location,? said Jeff Hunsaker, President of US Operations.

?It will also allow us to develop sophisticated usage patterns offering insights into operational bottlenecks in our accounting, marketing, sales and IT divisions.?

A recent Intranet 2.0 Global Survey confirms that only 15% of large organizations have deployed a full employee portal. This confirms the growing status of UK2 group as a technology leader in the arena of web hosting and general IT operations.

Recent findings at the Intranet Insider World Tour In New York City suggest an enterprise may save up to $ 100,000 in paper costs per year by implementing an Intranet.

The UK2 Group expects significant cost savings along with further gains in employee productivity. The customized Intranet is also another example of the Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model driving the cloud computing revolution.

?Besides offering cloud-based web hosting services through a number of its brands, the UK2 Group used the latest open-source technologies to build, test and deploy the SaaS employee portal,? said Mr. Hunsaker.

The UK2 Group intends adding a range of new social networking features to the cloud intranet throughout the course of 2012, aimed at keeping employees fully engaged on the Intranet.

?Ever since the inception of DITA, we?ve always seen ourselves as waging a revolt against mediocrity and uniformity.? states John Juniper, DITA co-founder. ?Thom Browne is the only fashion brand that we believe is truly worthy enough to join us in the uprising.?

?I chose to work with DITA because of their attention to quality and design. And these are two things that are the most important to me,? said Thom Browne, Chairman and Chief Executive and Creative Officer of Thom Browne Inc.

The premiere Thom Browne Eyewear collection features 20 styles that draw inspiration from the master architects, politicians, studio artists, industrial designers and professors of the 40s 50s and 60s. Acetate styles in specifically developed color combinations and treatments are complimented with genuine leather, and metal mesh side cups. All components were custom designed for each style. Each style is marked with the signature Thom Browne red, white and blue logo tip and four stripe hinge. For his metal collection, all eyewear frames are made of high-grade titanium delivering strength, lightness and comfort. Key styles are finished with natural horn brow bars and cable temple ends (unseen in any other collection today).

Thom Browne Eyewear will be available at the world's most prestigious fashion & optical boutiques.
