Embry-General Ltd (EG)
EG
(formerly SISSA UK LTD) and its predecessors date back to 1975. It
is now the mother ship of the Embry-General Companies
and Associates. It's long history in Computer Aided Production and Distribution
Management Systems such as MRP-II, ERM and Supply Chain Management has
blended into using computers, not just to manage but actually to design, develop, produce and distribute
products and deliver services. The latest
phase of this evolution is typified by these four projects:
The Satama Project. Here, EG
designed, procured and build an
integrated hardware and software infrastructure for Satama UK
Limited's
new web site design operation in the UK. In less than four
months the company was grown from one to 22 employees, on a green field site,
each employee equipped with a powerful graphics design workstation
connected to a 100MBS Ethernet LAN and to the outside world, via Firstserv,
our high speed ISP Associate,
through a 10 ISDN line non-PBX private exchange, plus a 384kbs video conferencing system.
Satama was provided with dual
"non-stop" IBM NetFinity servers flanking a RAID disc array.
This arrangement provides huge capacity, blazing speed
and no single point of failure on a 24/7 duty cycle. The
infrastructure is capable of supporting further expansion of up to 300% by
simply adding a new workstation for each new employee coming aboard.

Michelson, Morley & Maxwell
Ltd - this startup joins the
Group as a pilot for publishing on the Internet. It will begin
with the novels of Shirley van
Eyssen, some 35 literary gems and
best sellers, most of which have been published in hardback and/or paperback
and illustrated by famous artists. The entire business will be
embedded in the domain "e-books2u.com" which will:
-
display the catalogue of publications available, with
samples of their contents
-
download the titles ordered requested, along with
-
a program to display or print them off line and
-
collect the license fee
City Inc.Com Ltd
- another startup, is based on a hierarchy of
domains: city-inc.com at
the top, sponsoring regional domains, eg:
-
e-california-inc.com
-
1st-e-china-inc.com, and
-
1st-e-pacific-inc.com
and city-inc.com domains such as
-
san-francisco-inc.com
-
tokyo-inc.com
-
london-inc.com, and
-
new-york-inc.com
Each city-inc.com domain will be developed into the
portal of preference (home page) for people who reside or work in the city or
region or are planning to visit. Regional domains will also coordinate
intercourse and
trade within the region, whereas city-inc.com proper will concentrate on
interregional matters and the launch of new regional and city sites.
EG
provides consulting, office services and
infrastructure support to its Associates and assists them in
start-up and handling major milestones in their growth and development, as
needed.
