MB – Think our readers were looking for something related to Fantasy football and that’s also
strange advice going into summer but ok…..how about any advice for fantasy managers new to
the game? Or do you not give any tips for veterans of the game??
SB - Do your research before making transfers, there’s plenty of resources online to help the new and
veteran managers out with advice about who’s likely to play, what are good strategies and whatever
other questions you have.
MB – Who has been your favourite player this year and who do you think is the player everyone
had to have in the team?
SB - Well Suarez was the main man but everybody knew that anyway. Aguero and Sturridge were also
good but Yaya Toure was a big surprise package who just kept on scoring points and hurting anybody
who didn’t have him. I think Theo Walcott would have been a must have this season if he didn’t keep
breaking so I think he’ll be a big player next season providing he stays fit.
MB – Before I let you go are you really going to be taking that trophy everywhere you go?
SB – Yeah. I love it and think it looks like Dennis Bergkamp. I love him too.
MB – Ok…..well thanks again but I think its time to leave you alone with “Dennis”
OPERATIONS
UPDATE

The last two months have been very busy for the Operations team which is a
reflection of the continued investment by the business into IT and in developing
technologies to keep ahead of the competition.
The biggest of these the recent roll out of the RMS
eApp allowing BDMs. Developed entirely in-house
and working closely with Elavon, the objective is
to reduce queries, speed up the processing of
applications and improve the overall customer
experience. As with any new application, this has
not been without its initial difficulties as we all get
used to the new way of signing and identify areas
for improvement. We are committed to making
changes quickly so please be patient, work with
us and provide detailed feedback to allow us to
iron out any problems and improve the efficiency
all round. Don’t forget to pick up the phone to
the dedicated eApp Helpdesk on 01908 354
508 where Kieron and James will be happy to
assist you.
Another big change was the migration of the RMS
and TM backend databases. The old system would
at times be slow and unresponsive, which would
cause an element of frustration especially for people
with customer facing roles. The new system has
been rolled out over the last 2 months, first RMS
and then TM both in Leeds and Milton Keynes.
While of course there have been a few teething
issues, the feedback has been very positive with
some noticeable performance improvements from
the beginning. The introduction of this has given
us a good solid foundation to develop applications
that will support you with your role.
Alongside this we have been rolling out across
RMS a new anti-virus suite. While perhaps not the
most exciting of news to report on, it nevertheless
is a
