To put people first is a challenge that requires a deep understanding of what computer and communication technology is really capable of. That's our value proposition based on decades of experience with safety, privacy and security with e-health, e-government and the Information Industries. By minimizing risks and addressing the challenges of Privacy, Security and Usability issues, ICT adoption can be universally embraced for a Better Life at both our work and home environments.
What differentiates us?
With a BLICT consultant don't expect just another report or a redraft of existing material. You will have access to consultants with extensive software engineering experience and a pragmatic track record of delivering innovative and viable solutions. To achieve this depends on getting to know people and understand their requirements together with the inner workings of the today's complex computing technologies. With both knowledge and access to leading professionals and professional bodies in ICT, Health Informatics, Information Security and Privacy Professionals you can be assured of action not just words.
where others may Assess we ANALYSE
where others Appraise we EVALUATE
where others Train we EDUCATE
We may readily accept technology that enhances our quality of life such as telephones or emergency/safety equipment. To achieve the same level of confidence and assurance with today's computer technology is more of a challenge. This is achievable if properly applied so the user feels they're in control and the services work for them. This should be the basis for all technology.

Better Life ICT - what's the story?
Since the 1950s devices and products that improve our everyday life have become widely available. Now computer technology gives us the ability to readily access knowledge and services via desktop, laptop and hand-held personal computers. Yet, often unknown to the users, similar computing power is seamlessly integrated into mobile phones, kitchen white goods, modern entertainment systems, travel and transport (to include cars and their GPS navigators). Collectively these devices and systems are referred to in the IT industry as ‘Information and Communication Technologies' (or ICT for short).
Healthcare represents one class of service that is in the process of being totally transformed by ICT. Fast and accurate access to our health information, availability of medical and clinical services and the ability to check and compare the track record of suppliers is all on the cards. But this raises legitimate concerns. How safe will such systems be?
Who gains or profits from ICT solutions?
What about privacy and security?
Can we depend on what the vendors claim?
Are the experts being consulted?
Engage Dr Croll as a lead consultant to tap into his deeply technical yet pragmatic experience.
Together we can Improve the quality of life for individuals at work and home through the judicious use of ICT. That is the vision of Better Life ICT and my personal motivation. I look forward to sharing the future with you.
