The Insurance ‘Win-Win’: Assessing The Benefits of Water Leak Detection

...figures issued by the Association of British Insurers (ABI) outline that ‘escape of water’-focused insurance claims pertaining to commercial and domestic property are costing insurers no less than £2.5 million every day. Across a four-year period, this equates to a total pay-out that climbed to a staggering £930 million in 2018. According to the ABI, there has also been a “steep increase in the average cost of ‘escape of water’ claims, which now stands at £3,242 across both domestic and commercial [property].” So what’s the answer? Michael Wakley goes in search of a solution.

Maximising potential: The Industrial Internet

Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) often use extremely large files, which make remote working and collaboration difficult to achieve. Most businesses are able to work remotely with laptops, smartphones and tablet PCs, but the processing power required to create, store and share CAD files over a wide area network is often prohibitive. Yet with the power of the internet they can work remotely and collaboratively.

The key challenge, because the files they send to their colleagues and CAD partners across the globe are so large, is about how their IT teams mitigate the effects of latency in Wide Area Networks (WAN) to enable them to work uninterrupted by slow network connections. Strained WAN resources aren’t the only issue that concerns them. They need to deploy remote access control technology to protect their data as it flows across the internet, and from cloud to cloud, to ensure that only authorised individuals can work on any given CAD or CAE projects...

Architects of a nation have to lay down solid foundations

South Sudan's fledgling universities need money - and educated young people - to survive. Graham Jarvis reports.

No sooner had the celebrations that followed the Republic of South Sudan's independence from its northern neighbour in July last year died down than the country's fledgling government found itself facing serious challenges, a number of them education-related.

The conflict between north and south has been ongoing since the 1950s. When the south finally achieved its independence from Khartoum on 9 July 2011, many observers felt that the new nation's prospects were promising. South Sudan has agricultural advantages beyond its less fortunate neighbours Ethiopia and Kenya. It also has large reserves of oil, gold and other minerals. Read more here...

India and China Trading Places?

Some financial commentators are advising that investors forget about China this year and put their money into India. But while it is true that both countries demonstrate some considerable similarities in the way their economies are being (successfully) run, there remain a number of key differences that set them apart; and indeed further research suggests that China will continue to outpace its major rival for the time being – albeit perhaps not for long.  Read more here.
