It is important to us, even (especially) during Covid to always give back when a client chooses to work with us.
It’s true a lot of us struggled during the last two years and, like a lot of others, to take our minds off our own problems we wanted to give back to people who have struggled their whole lives.

So, we pledged a percentage of our turnover to motivate us to continue to grow so we can use our Technology, for good.
So, anyone that refers us business or anyone that works with us, we give something back on their behalf every time we collect payment.
This is made possible by being a member of B1G1 (Buy one, give one), they take all the hard work out of it by vetting and auditing the organisations we give to, to ensure every cent goes to the people in need, your membership is paid separately to B1G1 to cover admin costs.
In fact, for example, if you buy water as your impact and the organisation receiving the funds buys books instead that will be picked up in the audits, this is how carefully they monitor it.
We can even provide clients with Cert’s of gratitude via the B1G1 site to show them what impact they have made in the world just by doing business with us.
We know we are not alone in these efforts and would love to know what impacts you are passionate about.
Is it Environmental, Education, Equality, or at IDS we are VERY passionate about – preventing the sex trafficking of children (See Free To Shine link).
See our impact’s goal for this year in the comments also and let us know what they should be for the new financial year?
Thanks to Paul Dunn, Masami Sato, and the team at B1G1 for allowing us to be part of this great initiative.
Pitfalls to avoid when deciding on CCTV
At IDS, we often see commercial clients who do not have a properly designed electronic security system and are not future-proofed, which is important, especially when it comes to CCTV.
