What Makes ERP Successful? SpinAct Survey Reveals All

What Makes ERP Successful? SpinAct Survey Reveals All

While ERP insiders know the truth--that the technology itself is seldom to blame for an implementation gone bad--the perception among potential customers is different. "ERP sounds frightening to a lot of companies, especially in the small and mid-sized arena," stated Monty Kalsi, founder and CEO of SpinAct. "But the survey shows that ERP is very doable if you learn how to execute properly."

Bethlehem, Pa -- ERP success isn't about the technology. It's about the people, reveals a new Survey (http://blog.spinact.com) from SpinAct (http://www.spinact.com), the Knowledge as a Service (http://marketing.spinact.com/Knowledge_as_a_Service) (KaaS) company. With 2,100 respondents weighing in, the survey found the following two success factors for ERP:

Organizational Buy-In/Commitment: 39%

Right Team Skills and Attitude: 45%

While ERP insiders know the truth -- that the technology itself is seldom to blame for an implementation gone bad--the perception among potential customers is different. "ERP sounds frightening to a lot of companies, especially in the small and mid-sized arena," stated Monty Kalsi (http://www.spinact.com/static/team), founder and CEO of SpinAct. "But the survey shows that ERP is very doable if you learn how to execute properly."

The Global 2000 has long since made ERP investments, but smaller companies are hesitating to begin their ERP journey. There's nothing to fear, as SpinAct's survey revealed that 22% of large companies have inadequate training and support for ERP, compared to only 16.3% of small companies. "The smaller companies who've actually taken the leap have done much better than expected," stated SpinAct's Kalsi. "That's very good news, especially as ERP may be allowing those small companies to stay afloat in these challenging times."

According to Jon Reed of JonERP.com (http://www.JonERP.com), the right kind of user training has a major impact on SAP project success, regardless of company size. "Far and away, the most underrated aspect of ERP project success is effective user training," says Reed, an SAP Mentor. "I have seen situations where the right kind of user training reduced consulting expenses by as much as 80 percent. And don't forget the importance of training to achieving user buy-in."

SAP has promised to ramp up the quality (http://blogs.zdnet.com/BTL/?p=12267) of the SAP partner ecosystem in training and consulting, an integral part of growing the company's customer base to 100,000. SpinAct's contribution to the ecosystem is to offer a neutral, On-Demand Knowledge Marketplace of ERP experts and consultants who provide the ERP knowledge and support that you need, when you need it, to maximize your chances of project success. Buying subscriptions and/or a la carte services means that SAP implementers won't have to break the bank on training and solutions, and gives them the flexibility to assemble custom-tailored knowledge, training and consulting solutions--something that, previously, only the largest companies could afford.

Reed sees an exciting future in on-demand training and the KaaS model that SpinAct is innovating. "On-demand training solves three key problems: it gets an individual user only the training they need, at the pace they are comfortable with, and in a cost effective manner." At a time when companies are slashing already modest training budgets, Reed believes that on-demand training providers such as SpinAct can have a bigger impact on ERP project success than ever before.

Inventigo and GridGain Systems Team Up on Delivering Cloud-Enabled High Performance XML Processing

Inventigo and GridGain System partnered up in delivering industry first dedicated solution for high performance XML processing on highly distributed cloud computing infrastructure. The integration between GridGain's Open Cloud Platform and Inventigo's FastXML product provides ready to use solution for processing large XML payloads in near real-time fashion.

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) February 26, 2009 -- Inventigo (http://www.inventigo.com/) and GridGain (http://www.gridgain.com/) System partnered up in delivering industry first dedicated solution for high performance XML processing on highly distributed cloud computing infrastructure. The integration between GridGain's Open Cloud Platform and Inventigo's FastXML product provides ready to use solution for processing large XML payloads in near real-time fashion.

Says Nikita Ivanov, founder of GridGain project, "It is often overlooked by many software architects how a seemingly simple problem of parsing XML data can become a significant performance problem when using generic SAX and DOM XML parsing methods. With FastXML's unique patent-pending technology for generating custom streaming parsers based on visual annotation of XML schema with processing logic in Java and GridGain's ability to parallelize processing logic on the cloud our customers can employ one of a kind capability of processing massive XML payloads in near real-time - something that was practically impossible just few years ago…"

Adds Michael Gurevich, founder and CEO of Inventigo, "We are very pleased with the partnership. The glove-fit synergy between FastXML's ability to overlap parsing with invocation of relevant services and GridGain's core ability to distribute invoked services not only dramatically accelerates performance of XML-based applications but it also achieves it with an elegant ease. The applicability is endless…"

PC Diagnostics Leader Debuts PC-Doctor Service Center� 7 PC Repair Kit for Computer Troubleshooting

PC Diagnostics Leader Debuts PC-Doctor Service Center® 7 PC Repair Kit for Computer Troubleshooting

New Professional Computer Troubleshooting Kit Includes Advanced Test Devices, Support for Newly Introduced Hardware Components, and Faster PC Diagnostics

Reno, Nev. (PRWEB) February 25, 2009 -- Global system health and PC diagnostics leader PC-Doctor Inc. (www.pcdservicecenter.com) today introduced PC-Doctor Service Center 7 PC repair toolkit, a significant advancement of the industry's leading top computer diagnostics software used by service organizations, independent PC repair professionals, small manufacturers and others for computer troubleshooting.

The latest kit for computer troubleshooting delivers new and faster PC diagnostics, more advanced test scripting, a significantly improved POST card for systems that won't boot, a drive-erase tool, and the ability to take detailed snapshots of the system under test to clearly show all changes made. Additionally, companies using the Service Center 7 PC diagnostics kit can present a professional image to their customers by providing customized PC troubleshooting reports that include the company's logo, contact information, and technician name.

"PC repair technicians who choose PC-Doctor Service Center 7 are able to take advantage of the same up-to-date professional computer diagnostics that four of the world's top five manufacturers pre-install on their PCs to reduce warranty and service delivery costs," said Doug van Aman, the company's chief marketing officer. "We routinely develop PC diagnostics for new hardware well before those technologies are released to the general public, and are able to roll those advances into PC-Doctor Service Center, while continuing to support legacy systems."

The Service Center 7 computer troubleshooting kit comes complete with more than 300 PC diagnostics, including high-level diagnostics for testing hardware and advanced drivers within the Windows operating system, and bootable computer diagnostics for low-level, direct testing of hardware, and for use when Windows will not boot. The new PC diagnostics for Windows support the latest components introduced by the world's leading manufacturers, including newly introduced video cards, Bluetooth network devices, CPUs and Blu-ray optical drives. Additionally, the bootable PC diagnostics include new, faster protected-mode memory tests that are based on PC-Doctor patents and capable of testing up to 64 gigabytes of memory.

Also included is a newly designed POST card for troubleshooting systems that cannot boot. Designed to make computer troubleshooting and PC repair easier, the POST card has a new daughterboard on a flexible connector, making it easier to read error codes, bus speeds and system voltages on a remote display.

Other highlights of the new PC-Doctor Service Center 7 include:

Customizable reports: The PC repair technician has unprecedented control over both the content and the appearance of the computer troubleshooting reports generated by Service Center 7. These reports can be branded to include the company name, technician name, and the company logo, and can include system information, PC diagnostics information, and comparisons between system snapshots, showing hardware and driver changes that occurred during the PC repair.

System snapshots: Techs can take a snapshot of the system before they start a PC repair, run computer diagnostics and replace hardware or make driver changes, then take another snapshot. All differences in the two sets of system information will be listed, including detailed hardware and driver information. The tech can include this information in the report given to the customer, allowing the customer to clearly see exactly what was done on their system during the computer troubleshooting. This establishes credibility and boosts customer confidence.

Drive-erase capability: Our new tool wipes a hard drive to U.S. Defense Department specifications.

SMART attributes log view: Shows all of the details from the drive SMART function.

Support for CD/DVD checksum test: New test media supports this test while maintaining compatibility with older-version media.

Test automation: Five predefined, broad-coverage PC troubleshooting scripts are available directly from the home screen, as are up to five user-defined scripts.

Redesigned user interface: The completely redesigned user interface provides much faster, cleaner access to all Service Center 7 PC troubleshooting features.

Xpriori Announces Smart Repository Installation at DirecTV

Xpriori Announces Smart Repository Installation at DirecTV

"XCM-Discovery" based on Xpriori's smart repository platform, enables corporate counsel to manage patent and legal data

Colorado Springs, Colo. (PRWEB) February 25, 2009 -- Xpriori LLC, a pioneer of intelligent information management technologies, today announced the installation and enterprise deployment of its XCM-Discovery product at DirecTV Corporation. DirecTV will use XCM-Discovery for the management of patent data and other electronic documents used by corporate counsel. XCM-Discovery is a software application used by business professionals to aggregate, manage and discover the content, context and metadata properties of information assets.

DirecTV installed XCM in a storage area network (SAN) environment, supporting their Los Angeles and Denver offices, as well as to support outside counsel. Changes in the federal rules concerning access to discoverable information have created a demand for advanced e-Discovery solutions. Attorneys not only have access to paper based documents, but also to electronically stored information from servers, hard drives, removable media, e-mail accounts and networks. This means that attorneys have more information available to them to prove their case; yet, it also means substantially more documents and other information to review and manage.

"Managing unstructured data in discovery is a challenge. More than ever, legal professionals recognize the need for an e-discovery solution, but most products are costly and difficult to use. Our XCM-Discovery Appliance provides users an easy to use and cost effective strategy for dealing with project data," said Tim Dix, a former attorney and now CEO of Xpriori. "We developed our approach to simplify the discovery process, take users directly to content and put the focus back on the case, rather than worrying about how to use the technology. The ROI is so compelling that the user often pays for the product before their first case or project is over."

XCM-Discovery Appliance simplifies the discovery process. It enables users to gather information from any source and load it into a single repository for discovery, review and management. Scanned paper files are automatically made text searchable through embedded OCR and e-mail PST files are extracted, making XCM a turnkey source for managing ninety eight percent of all discoverable electronic assets. The solution works in the following manner:

• Aggregate and load all discovery information into XCM from both electronic and paper sources without first having to engage in complex document profiling and without having to create metadata. XCM has a simple to use, user control panel also called a "Transfer Agent". The Transfer Agent automatically facilitates loading information into system. It is a point and click process for the user, the system does the work.

• Bates Stamp documents in the system to preserve the path of possession. XCM allows the user to automatically convert copies of all files in the system to PDF, where they are then Bates Stamped. The original files remain intact.

• Search and discover relevant content among all documents in the system. Users employ a variety of powerful search features to quickly drill into the information using combinations of free text search, metadata search and advanced search capabilities.

• XCM automatically creates a substantial amount of metadata - such as user, file extension, and the like - and enables the user to add and immediately search such metadata as he determines might be helpful.

• Review relevant information by opening discovered documents instantly in their native format. The search terms used in the query are automatically highlighted in the original document for identification and to see their context in the document.

• Organize information easily into special Research Folders. In Research Folders, multiple users can have access to the same documents and organize the same document into several folders as it pertains to various contexts without making multiple copies.

• Comment on discovered information using annotation and note taking features. Users can make annotations on documents and on folders of to preserve their thoughts and other information while building their case or project. Create as many annotations as needed of any length. These are not mere electronic "post-It"™ notes.

• Extract discovery results from XCM for further use with two mouse clicks. Discovered information can be "packaged" for use in presentation software or to be used in other aspects of the case or project.

"I recognized the value of XCM-Discovery right off the bat, and started using it without much by way of training. It is just that intuitive. I easily aggregate all sorts of information into the system, perform a search and quickly get results," said Tom Haskins, a lawyer and veteran of 30 years in complex litigation and an avid XCM user. "I can effortlessly sift through volumes of information, organize what I need and build my case in mere days or hours, not weeks or months. This thing is easy to use and I can manage it without worrying about how to decipher the technology."

The Xpriori XCM-Discovery Appliance enables users with a straightforward electronic environment for managing discovery information. The system is used for receipt and review or review and production of information. XCM is also called a "SMART Repository" because of the added feature sets that enable users with various means of access to the information contained therein. Users can use XCM-Discovery Appliance for eDiscovery or as a repository for storing knowledge and intelligence they have created from their information

The Xpriori XCM-Discovery Appliance is available from Xpriori and Xpriori Authorized Channel Partners. Product pricing is dependant upon configuration and usage. XCM-Discovery Appliance is currently deployed in the United States. For additional information, please visit www.xpriori.com.

Cross-Channel Retail Initiatives Are Critical For Increased Profits, Sales And Customer Satisfaction, New Research Shows

Cross-Channel Retail Initiatives Are Critical For Increased Profits, Sales And Customer Satisfaction, New Research Shows

Amid online "store" closings from retailers like Canadian Tire, new research finds that cross-channel retail initiatives play a critical role in increasing a retailer's profits, sales, and customer satisfaction. Cross-channel product and pricing consistency are no longer differentiating for the successful retailer - they have become table stakes. Perhaps more importantly, retailers enabling cross-channel inventory, order, and customer visibility achieve significant and quantifiable results from those initiatives. RSR's latest research defines and discusses those results.

Miami, FL -- RSR's newest research study, "Cross-channel Retailing for the Anytime, Anywhere Consumer", sponsored by IBM and Manhattan Associates, quantifies the value of cross-channel consistency and transparency in specific and somewhat stunning ways.

In RSR's third annual benchmark study on multi-channel retailing, retailers re-emphasized the importance of cross-channel consistency in establishing a positive brand identity with customers.

"Given the state of the global economy, we really expected to see retailers looking for cost reduction," said Paula Rosenblum, managing partner at RSR Research and co-author of the report. "In fact, while economic conditions do act as a barrier to making additional investments, Retail Winners (those who outperform their peers) are continuing to invest. They understand that impressions made now will remain with customers once the economy starts to turn around, and are willing to build brand equity for the future."

"We were amazed to see the quantifiable returns retailers achieved from initiatives such as cross-channel inventory and order visibility," added Brian Kilcourse, managing partner at RSR Research and co-author of the report. "Forty percent of respondents report a 2-5% increase in eCommerce profitability, 45% report at least a 2% reduction in warehouse space requirements, 27% report a 5-10% improvement in fill rates. The list goes on and on."

RSR's new study, "Cross-channel Retailing for the Anytime, Anywhere Consumer" explores the specific opportunities for retailers catering to customer needs in a consistent way across all selling and product research channels. The report, with benchmark data captured from November 2008 through January 2009, provides a fresh but reinforcing look at how retailers can use technology to their best advantage, even in an economic downturn.

Find and Prevent Fraud and Costly Mistakes

Approva BizRights version 4.5 includes enhanced data extraction and analysis capabilities to monitor for business risk across systems and processes with very large transaction volumes. This enables customers to expand the scope of systems, processes and transactions monitored using Approva with performance levels that are unmatched in the industry.

Catch Problems Early While They Are Still Easy to Fix

Expanded baselining capabilities proactively alert users when application configurations or sensitive master data fields are altered unexpectedly, exposing business processes to unnecessary disruption or compromising the integrity of underlying data. Detailed reports provide actionable intelligence to accelerate follow-up and enable users to perform root cause analysis when anomalies occur. These enhancements reduce error rates and fraud risk.

Increase Security and Accelerate User Provisioning Processes

Expanded user provisioning capabilities deliver significant cost savings by automating a broader array of user provisioning scenarios such as granting users access to multiple systems with a single request. Additional details about user access requests and history are presented to decision makers so they can make fast, confident decisions when reviewing user access requests. Detailed super user audit trails make self-service emergency provisioning more secure and transparent. These capabilities dramatically improve the response time for user access requests while strengthening security and reducing risk.

Reduce Response Time & Audit Costs with Enhanced Reporting

New out-of-the-box reports reduce the time required to prepare for audits by providing the information most commonly requested by external auditors.

Agnitum Releases Outpost Network Security 3.0

Agnitum Releases Outpost Network Security 3.0

Upgrade focuses on user security, IT convenience, and business policy maintenance

St. Petersburg, Russia (PRWEB) February 20, 2009 -- The security experts at Agnitum, developers of the Outpost Pro product line, are pleased to announce the latest implementation of the company's core business security solution. Outpost Network Security (http://www.agnitum.com/products/networksecurity/index.php) (ONS) 3.0 delivers comprehensive anti-malware and intrusion protection for Windows-based networks.

Agnitum first entered the SMB security market in 2005 with the release of Outpost Office Firewall (1.0), which was later renamed Outpost Network Security 2.0 and upgraded to add central deployment and administration capabilities to the firewall and antispyware components.

Over the past three years, Agnitum has focused on home-user solutions while maintaining ONS as a standalone firewall and anti-malware product for businesses. The release of ONS 3.0 incorporates the applicable functions and benefits that have been added to the Outpost Security Suite Pro consumer solution in the interim, ensuring the delivery of a fully field-tested product from day one.

Outpost Network Security is specifically designed to protect SMB networks against the latest security threats, as well as addressing the problem of productivity waste caused by resource-hungry or otherwise inefficient security products. ONS safeguards local networks against external attacks and internal sabotage, keeps endpoints clean of malware, prevents disclosure of confidential information, polices employee Internet access, and centralizes the tasks of deploying and managing protection.

ONS ensures the integrity of business data by offering a number of robust security mechanisms:

•    Proven antivirus and antispyware ensures a malware-free environment

•    Award-winning bidirectional firewall (http://www.agnitum.com/products/outpost/index.php) delivers safe network connectivity

•    USB access lockdown prevents the business's digital assets from leaving the network

•    Safe data repository to prevent data disclosure

In addition to the security benefits, ONS 3.0 offers a number of capabilities that systems administrators will appreciate and that will ensure corporate policies are maintained and enforced.

•    Centralized deployment to minimize IT workload

•    Centralized on-demand checks for malware on remote PCs

•    Online and offline updates to keep protection current

•    User group segmentation for more targeted protection

•    Remote configuration for easy, hands-on management

•    Full compatibility with all current 32- and 64-bit Windows operating systems

One ONS 3.0 benefit that will lead to significant improvements in security management effectiveness is real-time control of endpoint activity.

Once a network is up and running, it can be time-consuming and difficult for IT staff to control events taking place on individual machines. Outpost helps to overcome this limitation by providing real-time monitoring of system and network activity for any remote host. With this tool, administrators can see what sites are being accessed and what programs are currently active on any computer on the network.

As in the consumer product, subsequent malware scans on local and remote clients can be performed in almost no time through Agnitum's proprietary SmartScan3 technology, which stores previous scan results in a single protected location, thus avoiding repeat scans of unchanged files.

Also inherited from home-user versions of Outpost, ONS' built-in self-defense mechanism guarantees that workstation protection cannot be switched off by targeted termination attacks, ensuring network clients are protected 24/7.

Outpost Network Security protection can be installed on any Windows client or server platform currently supported by Microsoft, simplifying deployment and eliminating any learning curve. Outpost protection can be deployed on a company's gateway PC, even if that PC is already running third-party security software such as antivirus or anti-spam.

Outpost Network Security 3.0 delivers on its three stated goals:

•    End user safety (using the anti-malware mechanisms of the home-user product line)

•    System administrator convenience (easy deployment and administration)

•    Corporate policy maintenance (real-time control of endpoint activity, user group segmentation, optional USB-connectivity restrictions).

Outpost Network Security 3.0 pricing starts at $224 for a minimum of 10 PCs, with per-user costs reducing as license quantities increase. More details may be found at: http://www.agnitum.com/products/networksecurity/index.php.

About Agnitum

Founded in 1999, Agnitum Ltd. (www.agnitum.com) is committed to delivering and supporting high-quality, easy to use security software. The company's products are standalone Outpost Firewall Pro and Outpost AntiVirus Pro, securing personal and family desktops; Outpost Network Security, ensuring reliable endpoint protection and performance for small business networks; and Outpost Security Suite -- an all-in-one Internet security solution.

eValid Version 9 Multiplies Capacities for Complex Web Application Testing

eValid Version 9 Multiplies Capacities for Complex Web Application Testing

Users can expect realistic results, low system overhead, a rapid learning curve and very high Return On Investment (ROI)

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) February 20, 2009 -- Software Research, Inc. announced a major new release of its eValid™ Website Test & Analysis Suite: eValid Version 9.

With an already rich feature set, eValid V9 expanded its features for testing complex web applications with: comprehensive DOM-element motion commands; an enhanced programmatic interface to most eValid commands and browser actions; and advanced DOM-based AJAX synchronization support.

This version offers major changes, including complete DOM manipulation support for data read/write operations, revised pricing, incorporation of the EPI feature as a standard feature in the WebMaster Bundle, continued DBCS support in the International Edition, cloud-computing support, and web-authenticated commercial license options to make life easier for third-party software testing firms.

In addition, the new release includes: new support to create "lite" (HTTP based) playbacks; commands to support testing of load balancers; new commands to support RIA monitoring data collection; and, available data converters to support standard network monitoring engines such as Hyperic, Zenoss, Nagios, GroundWork, and others.

"The new eValid V9 release adds a lot of capacity to an already powerful web application testing suite, and helps make eValid an industry standard for real-world web testing," said Edward Miller, President of Software Research. "Testimonials, frustrations, and suggestions from web application professionals in the industry has made it abundantly clear that it is necessary to test the deep inner workings of a browser to reveal why a web application is failing. Approximations from the desktop do not work and never have. We have been quietly working on expanding the testing capacities to run directly from inside the browser, for the resulting ease-of-use and for the general benefit of this community. By amplifying the test capabilities inside the eValid browser-based test engine this new V9 release meets these expectations directly," Miller concluded.

About the eValid Suite

General Description

eValid is a test-enabled web browser supporting Windows 2000/XP/Vista. eValid V9 license bundles are available for Application Monitoring, Functional Testing/Validation, Test Programming, Regression Testing, Server Loading, Performance Testing and Site Analysis.

Evaluation copies of eValid V9 are available from the eValid V9 Evaluation Download. Pricing for product features starts at $495. Complete information about eValid is found at: www.e-valid.com.

Solution

As a solution base for web browser enabled application testing, eValid offers a number of advantages:

Patented Technology: A unique patented technology for web application analysis and testing.

Validation Modes: Comprehensive methods for detailed page validation, including internal DOM validation.

Accurate Measurement: Very accurate timing of page and component behavior, including AJAX applications.

Ease-of-Use: The fastest, easiest, most trouble-free way to test any web application.

Monitoring Standard: The de facto standard for monitoring web application performance and durability.

Wide User Base: The most widely used in-browser solution available.

Excellent ROI: Very good Return On Investment (ROI) because unit-costs of eValid licenses are low.

Low TCO: Very low Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) because eValid is easy to deploy and extremely easy to use.

Applications

eValid applications include the following major areas:

Functional/Regression Testing: To provide test support for advanced AJAX-style web applications that rely on heavy use of XML, JavaScript, with multi-window support.

Application Monitoring: To support "monitoring mode" repeated playback of a test to confirm web application operation. Our latest audits of eValid Monitoring Mode operations show that eValid users are collectively running over 20,000,000 tests per month.

Server Loading: To provide realistic server loading capability by running large numbers of eValid browsers simultaneously, coordinated to operate in multiple machines.

Site Analysis: To provide detailed scanning and analysis of complete websites for quality assurance and comparative analysis purposes.

White Paper Reveals Safety, Traceability Advantages of Integrated Food ERP Software

White Paper Reveals Safety, Traceability Advantages of Integrated Food ERP Software

Deacom, Inc. today released a white paper exploring how the use of an integrated ERP software system can help food manufacturers increase product safety and traceability so they can meet regulatory compliance standards, maximize profitability, and react quickly to -- or avoid -- product recalls.

Wayne, PA (PRWEB) February 20, 2009 -- Deacom, Inc. today released a white paper exploring how the use of an integrated Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software system can help food manufacturers increase product safety and traceability so they can meet regulatory compliance standards, maximize profitability, and react quickly to -- or avoid -- product recalls.

The white paper, titled "Integrated ERP for Food Manufacturing: A Strategic Weapon for a Competitive Environment," discusses many of the complex challenges food manufacturers face today, such as complying with the Bioterrorism Act, establishing effective lot tracking systems, generating accurate labeling, and managing expiration dates based on item and customer requirements.

Food manufacturers can overcome these challenges and simplify their business processes to maximize productivity and profitability, the paper argues, by implementing food ERP software (http://www.deacom.net/home/process-manufacturing-software/food--beverage.aspx) that integrates all aspects of their business -- including recipe management, inventory control and lot tracking, regulatory reporting, production, QA/QC, purchasing, sales, and accounting -- in one system.

The paper also explains the critical functionality to look for in a food processing software system. Features such as bar coded lot tracking, material requirements planning, and automated labeling can help food companies reduce costs and increase product quality and safety, it argues.

Download the white paper today by visiting deacom.net. (http://www.deacom.net/home/erp-resources/white-papers.aspx?d=171)

Group Management Software Company Launches Online Store Builder

Group Management Software Company Launches Online Store Builder

Teamr's newest software has made establishing a sales site simple enough that its clients can handle the task in-house.

San Diego, CA (PRWEB) February 19, 2009 -- Companies, nonprofit organizations and teams that want to get ahead in the Information Age often discover that doing so demands the use of an online storefront. Unfortunately, establishing an attractive, functional and secure site online can be a real nightmare for those without the wherewithal to hire programmers and professional designers.

Thanks to teamr's latest group management software (http://www.teamr.com/licensing.html) breakthrough, this is no longer the case. The company has made establishing a sales site simple enough that its clients can handle the task themselves, even if no one onboard has more than basic computer skills.

"We are pleased to announce the official launch of team management software that makes it very easy for anyone to create and launch their own storefront in literally minutes," said Lars Helgeson, founder and CEO of teamr. "Our integrated online storefront software can be quickly and easily added to any public Web site."

The development of teamr's software was inspired by the company's own customers who shared how frustrating it was for them to work with other providers to setup and launch storefronts and to use fundraising software, Helgeson said. With this in mind, teamr created its programming to be intuitive, but extremely effective.

"Our mantra throughout the creation process was 'simplicity'," said Helgeson. "We achieved that and more. In just a few minutes, our customers can have their own stores up and running. This is easily one of the most significant advancements to the teamr system to date."

The new group management software was designed with simplicity in mind not only for store owners, but also for users. To get started using the software, all clients are required to do is create or upgrade their accounts to Premium or Premium Pro. Then they need to establish a PayPal account to handle incoming Web payment transactions. Once this is done, they simply go into teamr's Website Manager to establish their store, set the desired look and feel and add content. The easy-to-use storefront creation program also enables users to set colors and layout and even create as many categories as they want for items to place within their store.

While the programming addition to teamr's offerings is fantastic for any sales application, it is particularly geared for fundraising use, Helgeson pointed out. The software enables users to set sales goals and even make those goals public, which can boost donation drives and sales.

"We've designed this entire package with our customers' request for simplicity in mind," Helgeson said. "Setting up an online store has never been easier."

The company also provides homeowner's association software and scout software (http://www.myscoutlink.com/) for scout leaders who would like to keep track of scouting activities. For more information about teamr and its management software, contact Doug Feeney, vice president of operations, at (760) 845-1784 or visit www.teamr.com.

About teamr

San Diego-based teamr was established to deliver a powerful web-based application to help group organizers, leaders, coaches and captains manage members and schedules more effectively using team management software (http://www.teamr.com/). The company's purpose is to provide its users a way to improve communication by harnessing the power of the Internet.

WorkForce Software Highlights Cost Saving Labor Trends for Educational Institutions at the American Association of School Administrators' 2009 National Conference

WorkForce Software’s EmpCenter® for K-12 School Districts Solution Helps Public School Systems Reduce Labor Costs

Livonia, MI (Vocus) February 17, 2009 -- WorkForce Software, Inc. (www.workforcesoftware.com), a leader in workforce management solutions, will highlight best practice trends in workforce management at the American Association of School Administrators’ (AASA) 2009 National Conference on Education Marketplace, February 20 – 21, 2009, at the Moscone Convention Center in San Francisco.

The conference is an opportunity for attendees to learn new approaches and solutions that help streamline their districts’ workforce management needs on a daily basis. During the conference, WorkForce Software consultants will be available to demonstrate how its EmpCenter for K-12 School Districts solution automates complex pay rules to increase labor productivity and efficiency, while decreasing costs using industry best practices. Attendees can look forward to learning about the following cost saving trends in education:

1. Software-as-a-Service – No software to install or maintain, just an easy to access web service

2. One solution for the whole district - single solution for exempt and non-exempt employees

3. Employee self-service empowers employees, saves time, and cuts costs

4. Automated compliance regulations, multiple assignments, and other complex HR issues and pay policies

5. Convergence of HR, payroll, and operational functions into time and attendance software

Designed to meet the unique needs of K-12 school districts, WorkForce Software (www.workforcesoftware.com)'s EmpCenter solution automates processes specific to the education industry, including employees working multiple assignments and billing labor costs to grants. EmpCenter helps these organizations better manage grant allocation and maintain an audit trail of all funds used.

In addition, the EmpCenter Multiple Assignments module supports employees who hold more than one position at the organization. EmpCenter tracks work hours, time-off, business rules, pay rates, and approvals for each position held by a single employee and then generates a single check from the payroll department. This level of accuracy ensures compliance with the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and other state and federal requirements every pay period.

"This is a great opportunity for us to demonstrate to public school districts how we can lower their labor costs in this economic environment," said Kevin Choksi, president and CEO of WorkForce Software. "We worked directly with our K-12 customers to develop a solution specifically for school districts. It’s important for us to meet the current and future needs of our customers. We look forward to speaking with attendees on how our solution can benefit their school district."

Despite Tough Economy, Instant Software Clients Experience Record Year in Online Reservations for Vacation Rentals

Despite Tough Economy, Instant Software Clients Experience Record Year in Online Reservations for Vacation Rentals

Instant Software, experiencing record growth in online reservations by its clients, doubles processing capability and enhances overall performance in its Web Distribution System.

Basalt, Colo.(PRWEB) February 17, 2009 -- Instant Software clients experienced record growth in online reservations for Vacation Rentals in 2008. This upward trend, contradictory to the struggling economy, is further evidence that this $20 Billion segment of the travel industry is poised for explosive growth in internet sales. In order to scale with this demand, Instant Software announces significant investment in its web distribution technology, ISILink, the Vacation Rental Industry's largest distribution system for suppliers and distributors of online vacation rentals.

In a recent industry study, it was estimated that the Vacation Rental Industry represents about $20 Billion (20% of the size of the hotel market), but a small percentage of reservations have been booked on the internet. The industry has traditionally lagged in online sales compared to hotels, because it is highly complex and fragmented. Much of the growth experienced in 2008 can be attributed to ISILink's capability of removing the complexities with online booking and defragmenting the technology. ISILink is quickly becoming the industry's only true "Global Distribution System."

Despite the down economy, last year ISILink experienced nearly 50% growth in the number of online reservations, and approached $500 million worth of web-based transactions. This domestic and international growth is requiring Instant Software to double ISILink's processing capabilities and enhance its performance to scale appropriately. ISILink is also expanding to new co-location hosting to manage the increasing demand.

ISILink has grown both organically, by continual integration of the 250,000 properties run on Instant Software's industry leading Reservations Solutions, and through strategic partnerships. Instant Software recently announced the addition of more than 30,000 European properties through integration of ISILink with Interhome, one of Europe's largest property management companies. The number of real-time bookable properties in ISILink will continue to grow tremendously over the coming months with the addition of many new partner suppliers of vacation rental properties in North America and Europe.

Organic growth will also continue as more Property Management firms realize the opportunities of marketing their available properties online and travelers become more aware of the benefits associated with renting a vacation home. Plus, new distribution agreements will be announced in March 2009 that will increase the number of potential travelers for ISILink properties to over 45 million per month.

"We are ecstatic that travelers are increasingly realizing the benefits of renting vacation homes and to prepare for the explosive growth of internet bookings, we had to scale our technologies for the system demands that we'll be experiencing in the near future," explains Ted Miller, COO of Instant Software, "ISILink is now well positioned for our anticipated exponential rate of growth and will be able to support the most online reservations for a web-based system in the vacation rental industry on a global basis."

Instant Software is the leading supplier of technology solutions for property management companies which manage and rent other people's homes, cottages, apartments, and condos for vacation travelers. ISILink is Instant Software's web distribution system that bridges suppliers of vacation rental properties with distributors, such as travel sites and portals.

ISILink is a data hub that consolidates, normalizes, and interprets data from suppliers' reservations systems and enables seamless real-time automated bookings between the different parties' systems. Distributors connect to ISILink and automatically pull information such as property descriptions, availability, prices, and guest reviews to market to potential travelers. When a traveler books a vacation property, the reservation information is sent back through ISILink to the property manager's reservation system and automatically confirms the booking in real-time.

The rollout of the newly enhanced system will take place by early March.

About ICON:

Jonathan Ward creates his art slowly -- limited volume. Assembled and finished by hand. It is an astounding act of déjà vu: A reincarnation of the original Toyota FJ40 land Cruiser that inspired a cult following in the 1960s. But while the look may be pure vintage, the body, engine, driveline, wiring, seats, suspension and steering are completely state-of-the-art. "No one has ever applied real craftsmanship to the blank canvas this vehicle can be," Ward says. The result is a necessity for people who thought they already had everything: An exploring utility vehicle of unparalleled quality, featuring a level of custom detail impossible to find in the world of mass production. Most things are good enough. They serve their purpose. No one expects any more, except a perfectionist. A perfectionist refuses to accept what is. He thinks: What if this was made as good as it can be? Why make anything if not to the highest standard? www.icon4x4.com
