ra Information Systems' ibcs Software shortlisted for UKSPA 25th Anniversary Award

June 29, 2009 - PRLog -- Nominees for the category of “Most significant contribution by a business affiliate, agency, sponsor, partnership or consultancy” were of a very high standard, and ra are delighted to have been shortlisted in recognition of their efforts.  James Chaffer, Technical Consultant at ra says, “Being on the shortlist for such a prestigious award is a tremendous achievement, and it is evidence that we are achieving our aim of delivering management tools that really ease the burden of running a busy Science Park or Incubation Centre.”

Noel Kennedy, ra’s Business Development Manager continues, “Our ethos is to listen carefully to the users’ needs, and then expand our solution to meet those needs, so it is very satisfying when our efforts result in an award nomination!  We have been working really closely with a number of high-profile Science Parks and Incubation Centres for several years now, and feel that ibcs is ideally placed to continue evolving to meet the ever-changing requirements of this market.”

Evidence of this product evolution can been seen from ra’s recent announcement of an online version of ibcs, aimed at reducing the logistical burden of rolling-out new installations across both small and multi-centre operations.  They are also about to launch a customisable Questionnaire module that has been designed specifically for the Incubation industry, allowing the automatic production, completion and analysis of client questionnaires.  Looking further down the development pipeline, there will soon be a Facilities Management module, designed to simplify the maintenance of the physical Science Park and Incubation environment.

The awards will be presented at a gala dinner to be held in the Museum of Science & Industry in Manchester on the 17th September, where both UKSPA and Manchester Science Park will be celebrating 25 successful years.
