With this, the second edition of the Initial Electronic Security Newsletter, we are delighted to welcome not just our long-standing customers, but also over 11,000 new customers who have joined with us following two recent major acquisitions. Like our existing customers, they will benefit from the fact that we are the major ARC in the UK to have its own in-house software development team. At IES I am responsible for their work as part of my wider responsibility for both monitoring systems and IT. The advantages that in-house development brings are considerable − including increased efficiency and the ability to be self-determining and timely as far as responding to customers' needs. It allows us to both extend and strengthen the capabilities of our state-of-the-art monitoring systems − as you will see from the RAM/RAD news this issue. And, crucially, it means we can develop whole new applications − like LoneWorker, described in this issue's Product Focus − keeping pace with our customers' requirements for an ever more diverse range of modern, integrated business support services.
