Rob Cain
Rob is forty-six, has a degree in Computers and Cybernetics, and has fulfilled virtually every role within the industry during his twenty-five year career.
He started work selling UNIX and PC systems for Olivetti and AT&T during the birth of the PC and minicomputer market to SME's and corporate clients including Exon and The British Library.
He then spent seven years with IBM Applications Systems Europe based in London, then at their German Applications Developmemnt Labs, Hannover, responsible for quality assurance of Computer Integrated Manufacturing Systems.
Over the following ten years he worked as a freelance management consultant covering quality assurance and risk managagement, technical architecture, project management and troubleshooting. He has fulfilled contracts for a string of houshold names such as Nat West, Barclays, SWIFT (Interbank Network), British Gas (Transco/Centrica), Northern Ireland Electricity, Electricity Authority of Cypress, Bull, Hussmann, Amdahl, Motorola and others.
More recently he worked with Cromwell Media during their initial public floatation on the London Stock Echange as InterX PLC and was responsible for major accounts such as Royal and Sun Alliance, Silicon.com and Cambridge University Press as well as product and marketting strategy. After the subsequent buyout of InterX he devoted his attention to SystemCore upon the return of his brother Al from overseas.
Other recent assignments include consultancy to the Royal College of Physicians on technical and project architecture for the NHS IT infrastructure programme, The National Physical Laboratories on the European Union MIND knowledge transfer network and others.
Rob's philosophy is to put the customer first and to achieve quality by design. Music, wild parties and ocean sailing are some of the things he enjoys most outside of work.
Al Cain
During his career Al has always had a technical focus and an instrumental role in moving companies toward embracing new technologies, the application of what was originally considered 'exotic' software, and the use of the web to support all business activity.
Al started his career at AKG Acoustics as an acoustics and sound engineer in the early days of digital processing.
He then spent seven years with NuTron Analytical in the private medical sector, firstly in Business Operations Management and then 3 years as International Business Development Manager. These roles involved handling rapid commercial growth and in the latter post he was instrumental in bringing new private pathology services into Scandinavia, Eire and northern Italy.
More recently he spent a year overseas with Pro-Activ Analysis BV of the Netherlands reporting to the board. He was responsible for technical promotion, e-media, celebrity endorsement and remote delivery of private medical services into northern Europe.
A return to the UK in 2000 marked a teaming with Rob to launch SystemCore, with the company in a position to offer a combined wealth of business development experience, technical know-how, industry knowledge and successful project delivery. Al is a member of the Institute of Directors.
When Al is not working he can be found planning motorcycle odysseys to the Himalayas and Patagonia. Well, whenever he can.
