Techno-whiz Leaves US to Spearhead Daybook Web Development Project

Daybook has appointed techno-whiz Rollo Carpenter to lead the development of its e-business engine Intercom in a project code-named Oberon.

The original brains behind much of Daybook’s software including Modulus, Daybook’s earliest version of integrated support system Daybook Enterprise, Rollo returns to the company after spending five years in California as Chief Technical Officer at web-delivered business solutions provider Bizfinity Inc.

The Oberon project will bring Daybook and the Internet together in a highly flexible and innovative way. Rollo explains: “Soon you’ll be logging in from a browser near you, to access your data, to configure a web store and much more.

“I am thrilled to be returning to Daybook to lead this exciting new project. During my time in California, I gained a great deal of valuable IT project-managing experience, which will enable me to successfully lead the development team for Daybook’s Intercom e-business engine.”

From Shakespeare to Daybook

Steve Gibson, MD of Daybook, adds: “We are delighted to have Rollo back on board as he already has a deep understanding of the technology behind Modulus and the Daybook Enterprise suite. What’s more, the team is really excited at the prospect of him applying the expertise he has gained in the US to drive the Oberon project forward.

Steve explains how the project got its name: “The name Oberon came about as we often use the names of Shakespearean characters as project names. It sounds serious but has been the cause of much hilarity. Oberon comes from A Midsummer Night’s Dream, which seemed appropriate as the play involves things like magic and spider’s webs. Oberon won against stiff competition from the names Peaseblossom, Bottom, and Puck. We think we made the right decision!”
