Email from a happy alumnus to a school using FX Alumni...

Congratulations.

I've signed up as a past pupil from 1965 and am really impressed with the web site.

It took less than 24 hours to get my application authorised...

I am particularly pleased with the message board and will now pursue the sign up of all of the contacts with whom I have contact.

Many thanks for this superb capability.

FX Technology Group is a small but cutting edge web development company based in Oxford in the UK.

We develop leading products in niche markets, trying to bring technology to bear in new ways. We believe that high-tech products should often be pushed harder in order to deliver more friendly and more useful solutions for everyone's benefit.

We develop all our own products and are constantly striving for excellence in the the work we produce. Compared with larger companies, we offer a combination of rapid response, dedicated support (from people who really understand the product) and cutting edge technology.

We are highly receptive to new ideas and feedback from existing clients or prospective clients, so please get in touch!

Bent Grøver
(Siv.ing. Norway, Ph.D. Cambridge)

Bent comes originally from the old Viking capitol of Trondheim in Norway, but he has been living in the UK for the last 7 years.

He has a PhD in Mathematics from the University of Cambridge. Before his Cambridge days, he did a “Sivil ingeniør” (MSc) in Industrial Mathematics at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology.

After Cambridge he worked for the strategy consultancy Mitchell Madison Group/marchFIRST as an Associate in the London office. Since then he has been involved in several start-up projects in addition to some freelance consulting as a business advisor.

He has had an interest in alumni relations for several years in his role as a Year Representative for the Trinity Hall alumni at Cambridge. Before that, Bent was the president of the International Association of Physics Students in 1994–95, and he re-founded the Norwegian Association of Physics Students in 1994.

Bent is familiar with the challenges of maintaining close links with alumni. He is a firm believer that the rich experiences and resources of former members can be used to ensure a healthy, thriving future for most organisations.

Mike Hyde
(M.A. Cambridge, M.Eng. Cambridge)

Mike has an MA and an MEng in Electrical and Information Sciences from the University of Cambridge.

After graduating he worked in the professional audio business for 3 years as a global product support engineer, solving problems and managing difficult situations in leading recording studios worldwide.

Since then he has been involved in several start-up projects in addition to freelance consulting in audio technology.

He has been developing and building web applications for several years, always looking for new and interesting applications of technology.

For Mike, the interesting thing in all of this is the human-technology interface. He observes that all too often, high-tech solutions miss the mark as they can only be understood by other technical people.

With ever expanding technology, Mike believes the challenge has moved away from simply making powerful solutions. His focus lies in developing solutions that are more intuitive and accessible to everyone.
