New Sales Performance Dashboard is Designed Specifically for Inside Sales Teams

New Sales Performance Dashboard is Designed Specifically for Inside Sales Teams

A new dashboard developed by GS Marketing Group, Inc. is designed specifically for inside sales teams.

Kenosha, WI -- Executive dashboards and executive information systems have become critical to C-level decision making. EIS drives accelerated data flow into a graphical user interface displayed on desktop monitors. However, senior executives aren't the only ones who can benefit from real-time data, metrics and performance indicators. A new dashboard developed by GS Marketing Group, Inc. is designed specifically for inside sales teams.

Scoreboard is a fully-customizable inside sales performance viewer that combines real-time sales data with an easy-to-read, attractive graphical interface. Seen from strategically-mounted displays amidst the sales team, Scoreboard motivates and challenges inside sales teams to perform. "Scoreboard plays off of the natural competitiveness of sales people with a non-threatening, team-building design," stated Tim Cascio, Managing Partner at GS Marketing.Group "We provide information in a dynamic format that affects sales performance in real-time."

With sales management input, Scoreboard can be customized via its user-friendly administration tool. Goal-based color changes, bar graphs, audio clips and ticker feeds are only few of the features that add to the overall effectiveness of Scoreboard. "We developed the software to deliver information in a way that sales people will connect with it," explained Mark Bernhardt, Senior Software Programmer at GS Marketing Group.

From the sales manager to the executive branch, Scoreboard provides decision makers with instant access to sales leadership and insight as to which sales members and metrics are underperforming. Management no longer has to wait for end-of-day or weekly reports to track progress, reward performance or correct behavior. Timely, accurate information means better control and confidence in decisioning. And because Scoreboard is entirely a local application, it is as secure as your system. Critical sales data never leaves the protection of the company's designated private network, yet is accessible remotely via authorized VPN internet connections.

Scoreboard was developed with ROI in mind. Although sales teams and results will vary, an overall increase in sales performance is a natural outcome when sales members are challenged, motivated and held accountable. Scoreboard's pricing structure allows most companies with inside sales teams to afford this real-time tool.

For more information and an online demonstration of Scoreboard, visit SalesScoreboard.com.

iCIMS Announces Two-Time Win in HRchitect Beauty Contest

iCIMS Announces Two-Time Win in HRchitect Beauty Contest

SaaS Provider Chosen as Top Vendor for Talent Acquisition and Mid-Market Applicant Tracking Solutions

Hazlet, N.J. (PRWEB) January 30, 2009 -- iCIMS, a leading Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) provider of talent management solutions (http://www.icims.com/content/talentplatform.asp), today announced that the company has been named the two-time winner of the HRchitect “Beauty Contest” for talent acquisition and mid-market applicant tracking solutions.

Since November 2008, HRchitect, the leader in HR systems strategic consulting, has been presenting a series of webinars entitled "Assessing the Talent Management and HR Systems Landscape, an HRchitect Beauty Pageant.” Each “Beauty Pageant” focuses on a different category of HR technology, such as talent acquisition systems and mid-market applicant tracking solutions, and features six top vendors. Contestants compete by showing off their company story, service differentiators, value proposition and, of course, technology.

“As the leading Talent Acquisition Systems consulting firm, we feel a communal responsibility to create an educated public regarding HR technology decisions,” said Rick Fletcher, President and Founder of HRchitect. “We also think this is a really great opportunity for anyone who is looking at purchasing a HR technology solution to be able to learn more about several of the top systems in each category.”

During the November 14th Talent Acquisition Systems pageant, iCIMS was named the winner against such competitors as Silkroad, ADP – VirtualEdge, Authoria and Mr. Ted – capturing nearly 60% of the votes. On January 16th iCIMS was once again named a winner, this time for Mid-Market Applicant Tracking Solutions (http://www.icims.com/content/smallbusinesses.asp) and against such competitors as Click & Hire, nowHIRE, SonicRecruit, SmartSearch and SmartRecruiters. Both wins were attributed to the company’s unique “Back to the Basics” approach, which emphasizes the value of superior customer service and an easy-to-use, flexible technology platform.

The most recent pageant gave participants a rare look into the decision making process of today’s mid-market organizations. In the current economic climate, it is the platform that can offer the most value and greatest efficiencies that is clearly favored and most looked for during the evaluation process. And with these criteria, it was iCIMS’ Talent Platform (http://www.icims.com/content/talentplatform.asp) that clearly stood out above the rest. Unlike point solutions or modules, the talent platform makes it possible for corporations to manage their entire talent lifecycle through a single web-based system, eliminating the need to purchase multiple, costly solutions. Furthermore, customers do not run into cost creep for maintenance, upgrades or service fees and are able to upgrade without additional costs should organizational needs change in the future.

“The fact that iCIMS was once again selected as a winner really reiterates what we’ve seen from more and more companies as they align with our vision of going back to the basics and utilizing one easy-to-use solution that is supported by the best customer service team in the industry,” said Adam Feigenbaum, iCIMS’ Director of Sales and presenter for both pageants. “Specifically within the mid-market, where the majority of our clients have traditionally fallen, the fundamentals of cost-effectiveness and increasing efficiency are of top priority – and the single-source Talent Platform delivers on these levels.”

iCIMS specializes in solutions to attract, retain, and manage top talent, giving users the ability to perform all HR tasks through a single application. Clients are able to configure the iCIMS Talent Platform around their unique HR goals; powering such initiatives as workforce planning (http://www.icims.com/content/solutions/workforceplanning.asp), applicant tracking, on-boarding, performance management (http://www.icims.com/content/solutions/performancemanage.asp), employee surveys and more through one core platform.

Trihedral "add MultiSmart site" Introduces Wealth of Asset Management Data into Wastewater SCADA Systems

Trihedral "add MultiSmart site" Introduces Wealth of Asset Management Data into Wastewater SCADA Systems

Trihedral will shortly be releasing a new version of its highly successful VTScada software with "Add Site" capability for the MultiSmart Pump Station Manager. The new feature will be included free of charge in future VTS releases as a supported hardware driver feature under Trihedral's Affinity program.

Boca Raton, FL, and Nova Scotia, Canada (PRWEB) January 30, 2009 -- VTScada from Trihedral (http://www.trihedral.com) will shortly include an innovative "Add Site" feature for the MultiSmart Pump Station Manager (http://www.multitrode.com/pump-station-manager) from MultiTrode. The MultiSmart product has over 400 tags per site, providing unparalleled data for water and wastewater utilities for their lift stations. The new VTScada functionality automates the process of adding a new site and making all of this data available to the utility.

"We were very impressed with the way that Trihedral has implemented this feature," said Steve Carson, Group Marketing Manager of MultiTrode. "VTScada remotely downloads the configuration file from the MultiSmart RTU and then presents the user with a tick box option to choose what level of functionality they want from the unit. It makes it extremely easy for an end-user to set up a new site.

"The SCADA system is fully operational and never off-line, even during expansion of the system. This is a key feature of VTScada and a prime concern of utilities in order to maintain a watchful eye on operations at all times. The added sites can be tested within one server to confirm operations and then the validated configuration automatically propagated to all hot back-up servers and clients in real-time. Servers which are off-line are also undated automatically with the new system configuration upon restart. We were very keen to work with Trihedral because they have been winning a lot of customers in water and wastewater over to VTScada, and their technology and their engineering capability are both top class."

Barry Baker, Vice President of Trihedral, said, "We were very interested in fully integrating the MultiSmart pump station manager into VTScada because we could see the appeal of this new generation of technology to the water industry and we had many customers who were starting to use it. The open architecture of MultiSmart made our integration very easy.

"The configuration file is XML which lends itself to automation, and we used DNP3 (http://www.multitrode.com/pump-station-manager/dnp3-communications.html) file transfer for the remote download. In recognition that utilities commonly employ radios with limited bandwidth, the file is compressed and decoded on the fly by both the Multismart RTU (http://www.multitrode.com/information/rtu) and VTScada. The end-result in a small transmission message that does not interfere with site polling. As a option, the auto-import unity has been expanded to included support of Multismart units which use Modbus protocol and addressing.

The new VTS upgrade will be released shortly after the v9.0 release which is due at the end of January. This VTS version will include support for 64bit applications, enhancing the capability of handling over a million tags upon a single VTS server application. Thus the 400 tags of feature rich hardware such as Multismart is easily managed.

About MultiTrode

MultiTrode, founded in 1986, is a specialist in pump station technology for water and wastewater utilities around the world. The company has offices in the USA, UK and Australia.

About VTScada:

(PRWEB) January 30, 2009 -- In an effort to bring industry articles, blogs (www.digitalsignage.com/blog), news, and information into one place, DigitalSignage.com (www.digitalsignage.com) has created a custom news aggregation site for the digital signage industry. Interested Digital Signage users and consumers alike can now submit news stories, comment on recent articles, and suggest interesting and relevant information be posted to the news feed (www.digitalsignage.com/news).

"The site's software seamlessly aggregates multiple feeds which are managed, filtered, and approved by an administrator," said Nate Nead, company President. "In addition, users can submit industry stories, news, whitepapers and articles they have discovered from across the Web. Essentially, the site is similar to Digg or Slashdot, but with a narrow focus on the digital signage industry."

Registered users are able to submit their own press releases, unique stories, digital signage news (www.digitalsignage.com/news), and industry insights as well as provide commentary on articles and other user postings within the site. In this way, DigitalSignage.com aims to educate readers and facilitate greater discussion for the emerging digital signage industry.

The new directory contains complete information for approximately 2,000 industry leading businesses which provide services and products for digital signage consumers. Also contained in the site's features are two article feeds where digital signage leaders can share their insights as the industry continues to evolve.

When asked to share future plans for the site, Nead coyly, but assuredly remarked, "We are excited about the official launch of the site and look forward to the unique features that will be added in the future...you'll just need to watch and see!"

Liverpool Women's NHS Foundation Trust Automates IT Support to Provide 99.9% System Uptime to Hospital Staff

Liverpool Women's NHS Foundation Trust Automates IT Support to Provide 99.9% System Uptime to Hospital Staff

Kaseya IT automation platform reduces time taken to perform patch management and network upgrades from weeks to minutes, boosting data security

St. Helier, Jersey (PRWEB) January 29, 2009 -- Kaseya (www.kaseya.co.uk (http://www.kaseya.co.uk)), the leading provider of information technology (IT) automation software for public and private sector organisations, today announced that Liverpool Women's NHS Foundation Trust, a provider of women's health services, has dramatically improved IT support for its 1,600 employees using the Kaseya IT automation (http://it.kaseya.com?source=pr.uk.liverpool.0109) platform. Kaseya has enabled the Trust's IT team to centralise, simplify and automate support across five sites to increase the first time fix rate by 200% and deliver 99.9 per cent system availability. As a result, Trust employees can easily access vital patient data, hospital records and online services at all times to assist in the delivery of excellent patient care.

The Trust is Europe's biggest provider of women's health services and houses the region's largest neonatology unit and genetics laboratory. Its team of 12 technicians, responsible for delivering IT support services (http://it.kaseya.com/Home_MS/solutions.aspx?source=pr.uk.liverpool.0109)across the Trust, adopted the Kaseya IT automation platform to handle a growing amount of data, combined with increased information governance and security compliance required for storage of the data. The Trust initially piloted ZenWorks, but this required extensive staff training. In contrast, Kaseya was easy to use, offered a single web interface and was quick to deploy.

Using Kaseya, the Trust's IT technicians are able to monitor (http://it.kaseya.com/solutions/performance_monitoring.aspx?source=prweb.liverpool.0109), manage and support more than 950 desktop PCs and laptops, plus servers and printers, through a single integrated web-based interface. IT tasks and procedures can be planned, controlled, analysed and automated remotely, so that patch management (http://it.kaseya.com/solutions/patch_upgrade_management.aspx?source=prweb.liverpool.0109), asset management and network upgrades can be completed without negatively impacting day-to-day operations for the Trust.

According to Dr Zafar Chaudry, Director of Information Management & Technology, Liverpool Women's NHS Trust, the Kaseya IT automation platform has significantly boosted the efficiency of its IT department: "By automating our IT support function and providing remote assistance, we have dramatically shortened our support cycle from seven days to just 24 hours."

Chaudry adds, "On average, support issues are resolved in less than 10 minutes which maximises productivity for our technicians and also means that IT issues are remedied almost immediately so patient processing is not held up, helping our staff to meet government guideline targets."

Compliance with government regulations was a key factor in the Trust's decision to adopt the IT automation platform. Previously, auditing and updating across the network was an arduous task involving travel to every individual machine, but using Kaseya the IT team can remotely review all hardware and software on its network and perform patch management and network upgrades simultaneously, reducing the time taken to conduct audits from weeks to minutes. Kaseya's audit function is also used to create projections and predictions for hardware replacement, and new software roll-outs can be planned effectively to complement other upgrades. This approach has enabled the Trust to achieve compliance with ISO 27001 - 'Information Security Management' - vital when dealing with sensitive patient information and complying with data privacy legislation.

"Kaseya has transformed our IT support function, enabling us to manage increased information governance and security compliance, effectively handle the growing pressures placed on our IT system and also make significant cost savings," explains Chaudry. "A key factor in selecting Kaseya was the level of support we received during both the selection process, and deployment, continuing to the present day. The web-based platform has an intuitive interface and so required very little staff training, making deployment quick and easy. In just a couple of days we were up and running, enjoying the benefits almost instantly."

"The level of service that the Trust can now provide to its users has dramatically improved - engineers can respond to problems in a more strategic and efficient way, so that issues can be dealt with without having to resort to crisis management," comments Phil Sansom, VP EMEA Sales, Kaseya. "Remotely managing the complete infrastructure results in a more efficient process, meaning that the Trust can achieve the stringent targets set by the Government."

To find out more about the challenges faced by Liverpool Women's Foundation Trust and how the Kaseya IT automation platform has boosted efficiency, enabled cost savings and made IT an integral part of business processes and goals, visit the Kaseya website to download the case study (http://www.kaseya.co.uk/download/en-gb/itpro_case_studies/livwom.cs.a4.kaseya.pdf) or listen to Zafar Chaudry speaking at a recent Kaseya Webinar: Making the Case for IT Automation (http://www.kaseya.co.uk/forms/it-automation-web.aspx?source=prweb.liverpool.0109)

Sharing Tasks and Appointments over the Network for Easy Collaboration

Sharing Tasks and Appointments over the Network for Easy Collaboration

Duality Software releases Calendarscope Network Edition 1.5 for Windows 9x/ME/NT4/2000/2003/XP/Vista/2008

St. Petersburg, Russia (PRWEB) January 28, 2009 -- Duality Software (http://www.dualitysoft.com) announces the release of Calendarscope Network Edition (http://www.calendarscope.net) 1.5, a new product to make network collaboration and sharing of events, tasks and schedules easy for office workers. Using the renowned Calendarscope engine as a backend, the new Calendarscope Network Edition makes a perfect office companion for team work.

Collaborating in a team environment? Need to plan common events, share tasks and maintain schedules for a team of colleagues? Make a complex task simple! Share your entire calendar complete with scheduled tasks and appointments over the network without maintaining an expensive server or employing a system administrator. Calendarscope Network Edition makes it easy for anyone in your organization to create, manage and update events in a shared calendar. No Computer Science degree required!

Microsoft Exchange Server is a powerful solution for just about anything when it comes to collaboration and networking. The Server allows exchanging messages and maintaining a common calendar among groups of employees. Microsoft's solution is great, but costs a small fortune and requires an experienced administrator to set up, configure and maintain. Being a heavy-load application, it runs best on a dedicated server, so you'd have to reserve a line for a powerful workstation when planning your budget.

Luckily, your options are not limited to just Microsoft Exchange Server. Calendarscope Network Edition provides your entire organization with powerful calendaring, allowing you to plan, manage and schedule one-time or recurring tasks and appointments such as meetings, birthdays and special events. You can easily create, delete, modify and share events for just yourself or a group of colleagues. If you're the boss, you can manage other people's calendars just as easily as you access your own!

Sounds a bit too simple for your advanced demands? Calendarscope Network Edition has every feature that your company needs! Private and common tasks, public schedules and Web calendars, abundance of viewing modes and color codes, print styles, import and export options, flexible user access rights and easy backup and restore, just to name a few.

Calendarscope Network Edition works perfectly on any PC in your organization. No need to order a mighty server to handle your company's planning tasks! Calendarscope Network Edition is to be used by office administrators, not system administrators. It's so easy to install and configure that you won't need any help to add group calendaring to your entire organization.

System Requirements

- Server Win NT4/2000/XPPRO/2003/Vista/2008, 256 MB RAM, 100 MB HDD.

- Client Win 98/ME/NT4/2000/XP/2003/Vista/2008, 128 MB RAM, 5 MB HDD.

America's MLM Consultants Launches New Pay Plans Attracting Distributors to Recession Proof Companies

America's MLM Consultants Launches New Pay Plans Attracting Distributors to Recession Proof Companies

Rod Cook formulates new ways to compensate and attract MLM distributors that comply with federal regulations to better protect companies.

San Antonio, TX (PRWEB) January 28, 2009 -- Today, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and state attorneys general strictly scrutinize MLM network marketing sales to ward off "get-rich-quick" scams and unethical pyramid type practices. That is why MLM network marketing companies must adhere to legitimate pay plan structures that balance out and endure the test of time.

Rod Cook, owner of America's MLM Consultants, says that every MLM company, product and marketer requires different adjustments to make the MLM compensation plan balance out. With more than a million MLM companies in the global marketplace this can be a daunting task. For this reason he engineered, and recently launched, two unique compensation plans to help new and existing companies succeed. The bottom line is that compensation plans have to provide a fair share for the new person starting out as well as for the recruiter and top-end managers.

"MLM compensation plans are not simple," Cook explains. "Too many companies start out by copying another company's plan and this often results in failed businesses as some top-end sales people bail out taking huge revenues with them."

Cooks new patented customer-driven Binary Pay Plan has eight secret safeguards to prevent his clients from imploding. Whether it is a full matching binary, a 1/3 - 2/3 binary or single-legged binary with matching bonuses establishing a proprietary MLM network marketing pay plan, new network marketing companies can attract promising distributors, build lasting businesses and help promote new sales jobs even in poor recessionary economic conditions (http://www.mlmconsultants.com/mlm_network_marketing_economy_recessioin.htm). By viewing Cook's MLM-Network Marketing Pay Plan Laboratory (http://www.mlmconsultant.com/mlmpayplan.htm), these results can be clearly demonstrated.

The new patented customer-driving Unilevel Pay Plan is another preferred MLM network marketing pay plan that Cook adjusted to gain measurable results. It completely complies with federal and state regulations and guarantees to balance out based on each company's business model. The purpose of this pay plan is to give the middle person a path to grow. Many company owners might prefer the MLM Unilevel Pay Plan, as it seems less complicated to activate.

Based on annual market surveys (http://www.mlmwatchdog.com/), Cook discourages traditional Matrix MLM pay plans or Stair Step Breakaways. According to Cook, "Very few Matrix Pay Plans survive." Having tracked more than 1,700 MLM companies on his broad-based MLM Company Directory over a ten-year period, he discovered that the survival rate was dismal at best - more than 60 percent buckled. (Check http://www.mlmconsultant.com/mlm_company_list_directory.htm and discover how Matrix Companies barely last eight to 14 months.)

With billion-dollar startup MLM companies under his belt, Cook sticks with his motto for growing any successful MLM business venture. Base your business principles on "Do Good, Make Money." Having Cook as an MLM Consultant and top "Master" pay plan designer is like having the "MLM Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval."

First Post-Crash Benchmark Reveals Retailer Pricing Plans

First Post-Crash Benchmark Reveals Retailer Pricing Plans

Retailers view "localized pricing" - the ability to offer different prices to different customers - as a critical strategy for 2009, but are challenged to deliver such differentiated pricing without alienating consumers. RSR Research's latest research study finds that retailers are turning to promotions and loyalty offers as a way around this challenge. While past efforts at promotion optimization have stalled, retailers show renewed interest in the technology, along with tools for customer segmentation and analysis.

Denver, CO (PRWEB) January 28, 2009 -- RSR's newest research study, "Going Local: Emerging Best Practices in Localized Pricing," sponsored by Revionics, finds that retailers view localized pricing and promotions as critical to successfully navigating a challenging economic environment.

In RSR's first survey to retailers after the tumultuous events in September and October 2008, respondents report that while they are concerned about shoppers' price perceptions, they view localized and customized promotions as an important way to attract and retain them in difficult economic times. In particular, retailers are returning to customer analysis and promotion optimization, to design the right customer offers, along with improving store level ability to deliver those offers to consumers.

"While it's true that retailers see big opportunities in promotions, it's stunning to see the extent their existing IT infrastructures get in their way," said Paula Rosenblum, managing partner at RSR Research and co-author of the report. "Retailers already 'on the bubble' before the economic downturn are in a particularly bad place, with technical and cultural barriers preventing them from moving quickly to take advantage of customer-facing strategies. Those retailer who are unable to leverage customer insights will find the environment that much more challenging."

"One of the most surprising outcomes for me is the leadership role of grocers in particular," added Nikki Baird, managing partner at RSR Research and co-author of the report. "Six months ago we would have said that grocers are IT investment laggards - they historically built their own applications, they suffered from thin margins, and only grudgingly invested in IT. With the economic downturn, that's all changed. As consumers start to eat in, grocers are taking share of wallet from restaurants. The retailers who want to take advantage of this shift have realized that they need packaged applications to get the promotion capabilities they need up and running quickly."

RSR's new study, "Going Local: Emerging Best Practices in Localized Pricing", explores the specific opportunities for retailers as they turn to customized promotions and prices to combat declining discretionary spending. The report, with data captured after the October finance market meltdown, provides a fresh look at technology adoption intent, along with recommendations for what retailers need to do now to combat reduced consumer spending.
