Avanade are
creating a unique IT solution for the Driving Home expedition,
in the form of a rugged laptop which the team will use to send
photos and diaries back to the UK. The laptop will use the mobile
phone network to send information back to the UK, and will be
used to implement a pioneering process called Telemedicine –
whereby the expedition Dr will be able to send photos back to
our medical advisers in the UK, to get an immediate second opinion
if needed.
Avanade have also taken on 77 PR to gain media interest in the
expedition, and in the technology provided by Avanade

Kroll Security International:

Having seen
our article in the Times, Kroll have offered to advise us on the
security situation along the route of the expedition. They will
keep us updated regularly with changes that we need to be aware
of, such as political instability, civil unrest or health emergencies.
They have also offered us access to their Security Centre for
assistance if needs be, were a security situation to arise. We
have of course been keeping track of the FCO advice for the expedition
countries, but Kroll are able to offer much more comprehensive
information to keep the expedition safe and we are delighted that
they contacted us.
