On September 20th, Hull-based IT specialists Genesis Business Systems are hosting an open day, where Microsoft will be heading the rota of national heavyweights and demonstrating its new operating system.
Luke Pykett, marketing manager at Genesis, said: "We've worked really hard to secure some exciting presentations from the biggest software and technology providers at the moment."
Mr Pykett said the star attraction on the day, which is being
held at the KC Stadium, will be Microsoft's partner technology advisor, Ted Schultz, who will present Windows 8, viewed as the
biggest leap for the software giant in more than a decade, Office 2013
and the new Surface tablet.
Mr Schultz will be educating business users on the exciting features available in Windows 8 – a month before the release – including the touchscreen-enabled interface and he will also providing his thoughts on 'Where IT is going'.
Presentations from HP will follow, showing its latest notebook and tablet business solutions.
Pegasus software, Spindle Pro, Qlikview, Sophos and Dell Sonicwall will also demonstrate how the latest products and technologies can benefit your business.
The day will end with KC presenting its new fibre optic, lightning-speed broadband, Lightstream, which has begun to roll out across the region.
KC's Lee Hampston, who will be presenting at the open day, said: "Since we launched KC Business Lightstream, we've connected more than 150 customers to the service and their feedback has been fantastic.
"I'm looking forward to sharing all the details of Lightstream and the benefits it's delivering to local businesses."
Genesis will also take to the stage to discuss how mobile app development can be utilised for businesses with tablet and smartphone devices.
