WITH the first of the Euro 2000 semi-finals kicking off tonight, one team, still very much involved in the tournament teamed up with the North-East Chamber of Commerce at one of the region's top footballing venues.
Cisco Systems, the company which provides those all important match statistics for TV coverage, was a key player at the launch of ChamberSign at Sunderland's Stadium of Light.
Cisco account manager, Simon Jones, took time out to join North-East Chamber chief executive, Michael Bird, to demonstrate there are still some special skills in the English game.
ChamberSign is the latest in e-commerce technology designed to improve security and encourage more businesses to trade across the Internet
The system has been devised by the Chamber in response to the dramatic increase in e-commerce, and the need for better secure electronic systems.
The boom has opened many new opportunities, but the drawback has been the difficulty in exchanging legal documentation.
Chamber staff at Tees Valley and Newcastle are ready to provide this very confidential service.
ChamberSign enables users to send information only accessible by the recipient.
