Kustomworks ChristmasWind Down December 2009

Well as another year comes to an end I would like to take a moment to reflect on 2009.
As a company we have had a successful (if not hectic) year working with our clients, designing fun and innovative products, integrating a whole host of different systems. During the last year one of our main aims was to make these ever more complex systems even simpler and even more fun for our clients to use. We have taken a different approach to other programmers and I think we have managed to now produce simple and easy to use GUI that anyone of any age can use. These have been extensively tested on Children/spouses and mother in-laws.
Our GUI’s can be custom designed to fit into any décor, from a stately home to a modern mansion. We will have some screen shots up in January of our new GUI in Action.

We plan to have some Video’s produced in the New Year Show casing our GUI implementation, and how easy it is to use. So keep checking back for an up date.

Well, all that’s left is for me to say I wish all our clients a Merry Christmas and a Happy New year for 2010.

All the best

Iain…

kustomworks goes green- MARCH 2009

Over 40% of the UK's carbon dioxide emissions, the main greenhouse gas which causes climate change, actually come from the things we do every day.

Things like leaving lights on unnecessarily or overfilling the kettle all waste energy and result in needless carbon dioxide emissions. This section looks at the impact we are having on climate change and what's being done to help fight it.

The UK has committed to reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 20 per cent by 2020 and seeks an 80% reduction in emissions by 2050 . There are a number of initiatives that have been set up to help meet this reduction, these include the Carbon Emissions Reduction Target (CERT), the Climate Change Levy and the Climate Change Bill amongst others.

Because of these alarming facts Kustomworks is committed to do its part and where ever possible assist our growing client base reduce their carbon footprint. We will achieve this with intelligent system programming. Read our Green Solutions page for more information

Kustomworks is now CAIP - July 2008

Kustomworks is now the second Northern CAIP Programming house. Having Qualified as CAIP in Early 2007, Kustomworks then joined Kaleidescape. Which allowed the Kaleidescape dealer base free access to a CAP (Crestron Approved Programmer) for integration assistance. As Iain is no longer part of the Kaleidescape team he felt he should join the ranks of other Great CAIPS who have inspired him over the years to strive for this coveted industry accreditation. So in August 2008 we joined the CAIP Scheme.Follow this link for further information.
