A North East technology specialist has said businesses should let their IT systems do the talking during the recession.
Justin Short, Director of Newcastle-based Rocket Solutions, has said he is surprised at how much time companies waste by not making their processes more efficient to ride out the economic downturn.

'The Rocketeers' are very proud to have been involved in Byte Night 2009. On Friday 2nd October 2009 we unrolled our sleeping bags and slept rough for one night at the Baltic on the Newcastle Quayside and raised £1,158 for Action For Children.
Byte Night is the IT industry's annual sleep out in support of Action for Children and helps to tackle the root causes of youth homelessness and get thousands of children and young people off the streets and into secure accommodation with education and training opportunities that can change the course of their lives.

Firstly, our congratulations go to Jenson Button for becoming the 10th British Formula One driver to clinch the world championship.
So you're Ross Brawn in the middle of a race and you have a critical decision to make… Do you bring Jenson in on the next lap to change his tyres and refuel or do you leave him out on the track for some quick laps? Your decision could make difference between taking the chequered flag or finishing out of the points. What should you do?
