d3t Enables Businesses To Make The Best Use Of Changing Technologies

April 1, 2015 - PRLog -- Media reports of insurance firms texting parents to warn them of their children’s bad driving was just a symptom of the impact of tomorrows technologies on today’s society, said Cheshire-based technology expert Jamie Campbell.

“No-one wants to see ‘Big Brother’ style surveillance, but when the application of technology can be used to prevent the deaths and serious injury of young people and other road users, then everyone wins,” added the co-founder and commercial director of IT specialists d3tLtd.

“Most young people with Smartphones are inadvertently sharing their location with large telecoms companies anyway. Sharing this data with parents when a young person may be risking their life (perhaps when driving the parent’s car) seems like a sensible use of data rather than an intrusion.”

Mr Campbell was speaking following Press reports of so-called black box recorders – tracking devices fitted to vehicles to record details like speed and braking –collecting data which is then passed onto parents in return for lower insurance bills.

“Technology is making a significant impact on all of us,” he added. “At d3t we are experts in the gamification of systems thanks to our decades in the computer games sector, so activities such as monitoring young drivers, can be incentivised like in a video game rather than being seen as punitive,” he added speaking from his Runcorn office.

“Similarly, d3t also works on preventative maintenance in embedded systems, as well as business and industrial software systems, in which we use the same principles.

“Technologies are continually changing and we see our role at d3t as ensuring our clients take advantage of all the potential benefits that the latest technology can offer them.”
