BUSINESSES are being given an opportunity to learn from industry experts on the best way to future proof their companies at a special event this month.

Eco is throwing open the doors of its state-of-the-art, self-built HQ in Annan on November 23 for an IT day packed with expert advice and networking opportunities.

Integrity IT, part of the Eco Group of companies, is hosting the free ‘Future-proofing your Business’ event to help businesses be best-placed to meet a range of cyber challenges and opportunities.

Experts from Sophos and Giacom will join Integrity IT and Eco specialists to discuss a range of hot topics including cyber security, digital switchover, and carbon accountancy.

At the event, which runs from 10am to 2pm, attendees will also find out what the 2025 analogue phone network switch-off means for them and, with Integrity and its partner Giacom, how they can be supported to navigate this change now.

Those attending will also be able to discover how EcoMetrix carbon accounting can help their business understand their environmental impact with a presentation from Eco’s Group Opportunity Strategist Gary Robertson.

Ryan Moffat from Integrity will also be sharing information about how businesses attain their all-important Cyber Essentials certification.

Michael Quinn, Integrity IT’s Head of Operations, said: “This is the ideal chance for businesses in Scotland and the north of England to get up to speed on all aspects of IT which are going to affect them in the short and medium term.

“It’s also a great opportunity to network with like-minded business people and find out more about how Integrity IT and Eco Group can help support businesses across the region with a whole range of services and capabilities.

“We look forward to welcoming everyone here to Eco’s impressive self-built headquarters for what promises to be an insightful and enjoyable day.”
