Jobs and Financial Crisis
sds-i have limited their hiring of staff now mainly to free-lancers for particular projects.
The Financial Crisis has an effect on all businesses large or small. At least we are in the position of developing a range of new projects and products and work with people from around the globe on these highly interesting ventures. We even invest money into some of the businesses of our clients. Most of the investment goes into infrastructure and materials.
However, as we provide a lot of our work for little and often no fee, we can rarely offer more to the people we work with. As we take shares and forward looking interest in these businesses and projects we pass such opportunities on to the people we work with.
On such a basis there are jobs here to develop new skills, to build something into the future, to learn by collaboration and to be part of an organisations when so many have lost even the basic links to a work place and opportunities to discuss and move something.
Please contact our HR colleagues through Jobs@sds-i.com
B2B-Book "Development of Shopping Centres in Russia"
Christian Cuhls, MD of sds-i, is the author for the Chapter "Concept Development".
The book is only available in Russian Language from Russian Council of Shopping Centres (RCSC), Mall Magazine and Bookshops.
Malls and More online for 4 months
MallsandMore.com (m&m) has now been online for more than 4 months and we are coming to the end of vigorous testing in alpha phase.
Needless to say it took longer than expected. But we added two important features:
- Probapbly one of the largest Mall Directories online for free. There are more than 5,500 malls listed in over 30 countries. The depth of information varies and we are looking to members to fill in more detail along the way.
- Check-your-Pay is a database covering more than 30 countries as well listing salaries for people in Centre Management. Members can add a record or more, ideally, and this will give them access for 3 months to the data. Then all you need is add a new record. The data entry is anonymous and no member will be able to see who added what. The database is displayed in sortable tables allowing members to view it in many different combinations.
Next is increasing the membership and we started a low key web marketing approach while still in alpha phase.
Come and have a look at www.mallsandmore.com.

A resh look - the new sds-i.com website
sds-i have launched their new website using Drupal as the base. This was an in-house project successfully completed by our devision of sds-i.net and a great thank you to all our colleagues who helped in bringing togehter Web Design, Technology, Strucutre and some interesting new ideas.
sds-i launched sds-i.net

We are also assisting companies to migrate part or their entire computer systems to a Linux environment to reduce IT cost and to improve overall security of data and their network.
sds-i secured a commission from PLV Inc.

PLV Inc. Group asked sds-i to develop a series of Web sites for their independent technology divisions.
sds-i will coordinate and develop the websites for a number of core technology ventures to allow external communication to the general public, to investors and third party consultants, as well as for company in-house communication and project-team coordination.
The websites will include internal, project-related communication in order to reduce and eventually replace email based team coordination.

ATP appointed sds-i to develop a series of Web projects for the various areas ATP are active in to promote their services for Retail Project Management.
The web based services will allow developers and retailers to integrate their tasks of renting, providing the required space and fit-out in a more efficient and transparent process.
