Has anyone noticed that one of housings biggest mobile working providers has had a wee make-over recently?

There is a new logo too, a lot more European.

Quietly Greg Jones has assumed the title of CEO from Bob Dent who now seems to be concentrating on his Internet Of Things, over at Zonr. A smart move for Robert, I would say. An area of tech that will be taking off for housing, offices, everywhere.

Earlier this year I had a sneak preview of the new 1st Touch customer portal type offerings. They are surely getting closer to a release now, but the smattering of French (and some obvious translations from French revealed its origins, possibly from Aareon's  subsidiary there.

I think that's a good thing and will bring us some great ideas, this side of the channel. I would not like it to dilute the quality of service customers see here however. I hear a lot of moans & grumbles about all manner of software & application suppliers , in a sector (not just mobile) that can at times seem like a 'Broad church of over-selling and under-delivery'.

No supplier however large can take its existing customers for granted. If innovation, value, fairness and quality are not clear to clients, they will eventually jump ship to alternatives. I think 1st Touch will be a European success story, but would hope that's not at the expense of punters back here in Blighty.
