Early December saw the launch of the brand new NewTech Device  Repair Agency on the Birkirkara Bypass. The Centre is specifically geared towards repairing a variety of smart phones, including the world’s top brands, as well as offering a huge variety of other technology-related services.

“We know that, these days, the world revolves around technology,” says NewTech Business Development Manager, Jonathan Said, while explaining that the centre is targeted towards repairing smart phones – a vital, modern commodity that most people cannot be without today.“Until a while ago, repairs of this sort weren’t worth the investment, as it made sense to just replace the item in question. Today, though, with these phones costing upwards of €300, throwing them away makes no sense. Repairing them, on the other hand, will save money and make them last far longer.”

 Formed in December 1993, NewTech Ltd is now a leading local software and hardware distributor. It specialises in the marketing and distribution of a vast range of business, education, home and high-end software products, and is the authorised Maltese distributor for numerous global software and hardware manufacturers.

 “Our core mission is to sustain the local market by providing a highly-efficient service,” Mr Said goes on to explain. “We also aim to offer a varied, premium product line to local end users through a selection of comprehensive software solutions, as well as an efficient network of partners and resellers.”

 The Centre’s staff have been highly-trained and will do whatever it takes to fix each item, as well as offer a three-month guarantee on its repair, whether that item is within the guarantee period or not.

 “It will also be good news to some that even liquid-damaged phones can usually be fixed, and accompanied by a 14-day guarantee,” explains Mr Said. “Additionally, we will provide the client with a replacement phone that can be used while their handset is being fixed.”

 Among the other services on offer, the NewTech centre will also be an authorised provider for HTC, will repair mobile phone accessories, phone-related innovations and gadgetry, and will rent out mobile phones and GPS equipment.

 “We’re a one-stop shop on all sorts of issues related to technology, and combine the very best equipment with excellent service and the desire to get the job done properly,” Mr Said adds.

 So, whether you’re browsing for accessories, transferring vital data or getting your phone back in perfect working order, NewTech has quickly secured its reputation for solving all sorts of technology-related matters.

 The NewTech Service Centre is also an exclusive Melita Point, offering all pre-paid and post-paid services, including TV, phone, mobile and internet. It also accepts bill payments and offers discounts when a contract is being signed.

The agreement signed between WinSoft International and Newtech Ltd will combine WinSoft International’s software localization expertise with the reach of Newtech Ltd’s local distribution network. Newtech Ltd. has been active in the software distribution field in Malta for over 18 years. We are pleased to have this new partnership with such an important player,” said Mahmoud El Mourabit, Channel Sales Manager at WinSoft International.

“We believe Newtech Ltd will make the Serif brand known and successful.” The products reach out to consumers looking for high-quality, affordable design and publishing software.

Its vast array of products are comfortably displayed to satisfy your every need. This website also caters for its reseller network, in that it provides a private portal for them to log on and view product list and details. It also serves to educate both the individual consumer as well as the corporate client, on the benefits of a variety of products, and their inter-relation to clients existing systems and data. The website serves as an online presence to influence the brand abilities to simplify your every ICT need. Through its reseller distribution, it facilitates the purchase of such products and the consultation each purchase will inevitably require. We trust you will enjoy the experience!

However, it is not merely the purchase of the smart phone and/or tablet that will increase business efficiency, but its smart usage – managing the device effectively and securely. Therefore, businesses must include device management in their IT strategy and also their ongoing IT operations. It is imperative that the smart phone/tablet be synchronised with other business (and sometimes) personal devices.

Microsoft offers the perfect platform for device management – Windows 7. Windows 7 is now the platform for an array of smart phones, including the increasingly popular HTC. HTC is one of the fastest-growing companies in the mobile sector and has achieved remarkable recognition over the past couple of years. HTC is known for its innovation. It is constantly broadening the range of devices it offers – introducing devices to support specific applications and new form factors that meet the increasingly diverse needs of its customers and partners. HTC’s product portfolio offers easy-to-use solutions that embrace the full range of mobile multi-media resources, wireless anytime and Internet on the go.

Another ideal platform is the Android operating system. Android’s mobile operating system is based on a modified version of the Linux kernel. Google and other members of the Open Handset Alliance collaborated on Android’s development and release. The Android 3.0 platform introduces many new and exciting features for users and developers. Android 3.0 is a new version of the Android platform that is specifically optimised for devices with larger screen sizes, particularly tablets.

On introducing and using device management, it is imperative that you consult your IT provider or consultant and ensure that the correct security measures are in place. Treat the mobile device as you would any other IT resource. Furthermore, ongoing data synchronicity must be enabled in order to maximize the benefits of going mobile and managing your devices smartly.

Quite often, IT risk is overlooked. Other business risks, such as market risks, credit risk and operational risks have long been introduced into the corporate decision-making processes. IT risk tends to be left in the hands of the IT department and does not feature in the global strategic objectives of the organisation. Financial data, personal employee records, and other vital information are stored on computers. If this information is jeopardised, the entire business can fail.

Secure business processes must be treated as a priority in the global operations of an organisation. Today, security is a requirement that not only concerns the ICT infrastructure, but also a company’s business processes and organisation as well.

Customers of all sizes are faced with one essential challenge: the need to secure and manage an enormous amount of information. We all live and work in an information-driven world. Information is the lifeblood of modern business and, increasingly, of modern life. Each year, the amount of information we create increases exponentially. Securing and managing our information-driven world becomes even more important and challenging. Customers are increasingly concerned about how to secure and manage their increasing amounts of information – from digital photos to business critical data.

Symantec is a global leader in providing security, storage and systems management solutions to help our customers – from consumers and small businesses to the largest global organisations – secure and manage their information against more risks at more points, entirely and efficiently than any other company. Symantec’s unique focus is to eliminate risks vis-a-vis information, technology and processes independent of the device, platform, interaction or location.

NewTech Ltd was formed in December 1993 and is now the leading software distributing company on the local market. The company’s activities specialise in the marketing and distribution of a vast range of business, educational, home and high-end software products to the local market. The company’s core mission is to sustain the local market by providing highly efficient service and a varied, premium product line to local end-users through comprehensive software solutions and their efficient network of Partners and Resellers. The company is the authorised distributor in Malta for major internationally recognised software and hardware manufacturers.
