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.
Malls and More is online
Finally we launched MallsandMore.com (m&m).
m&m is a B2B site for professionals in the business of developing, designing and managing retail projects from a single shop to multiples to malls of all sizes.
This site is open by invitation only to active people working in this field.
MallsandMore.com offers really just two things:
- Information and
- Networking
- plus the environment of being around colleagues, competitors and some friends working actively in this field.
Naturally each heading contains several areas from handbooks to forums to RSS syndicated news and more ...
Have a look to see if it is interesting to you and contact m&m directly to join - you could send an email to membership_mm@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
sds-i.net is a new division of sds-i providing IT and Internet related services for developers and other service companies in and around Shopping Centres.
sds-i.net developed out of our various IT activities for a number of international clients developing handbooks, websites Wiki-Services, internal information systems, etc.
sds-i.net will work mainly with Drupal for Website development, eGroupWare, OfficeZilla and other packages for internal and external team work.
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 commissioned sds-i with Web Development

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.
This will help to cut preparation time and actual work on site.
