CJG Consultants
Laban
CJG has looked after computers at Laban since 1991. We first
became involved when they began using our AutoLIGHT
program to teach the principles of lighting design to their students.
Before long CJG took on the role of their IT department, providing an
engineer on-site every week and were soon looking after a multi-server
network with more than 50 workstations.
In 2001/2 CJG were instrumental in assisting Laban with their move to a new purpose built facility in Deptford Creek (which won the Sterling Prize for Architecture in 2003). This involved setting up and configuring over 130 new PCs for students, tutors and administrators, with access to new data and email servers. Nowadays, as well as maintaining a weekly on-site presence CJG remotely administer the entire site with its ten servers and over 150 workstations.
Over the years we have written a number of bespoke applications for Laban. A Student Registration Database which keeps track of all the students who attend courses, from the preliminary interviews through to the their final exams and even Alumni. At that point the information is passed into another program CJG created, the Pooled Address Database, which maintains the mailing lists used by Laban.
The Incorporated
Council of Law Reporting
ICLR used to be spread over 3 sites in and around Lincoln's Inn and the
Royal Courts of Justice. CJG were invited to administer their computer
systems and improved their communications by installing two networks and
a WAN link to the RCJ. Since then they have moved into new offices in
Chancery Lane and CJG looked after the entire IT transposition.
CJG has just completed a bespoke database system for tracking and managing all of the court cases that are to be reported. It was written using Microsoft's Visual FoxPro language and has been optimised for use over their network. One of the neat features it incorporates is that each computer checks that it is using the current version of the program and if not it automatically updates.
