HyNote Unveils Enterprise Performance Management in the Cloud

HyNote Unveils Enterprise Performance Management in the Cloud

New Managed Service Offering Promises to Democratize Enterprise Performance Management, Expand Usage.

Charlotte, NC (PRWEB) February 17, 2009 -- Economies of scale go out the window in a world of cloud computing. Now, thanks to the scalable architecture intrinsic to the cloud, organizations large and small can leverage the power of enterprise performance management technology at a fraction of the traditional cost. The same new rule applies to many other processing-intensive software applications, including predictive analytics, business intelligence, supply chain management, and so on.

For now, orchestrated consultancy HyNote sees a unique opportunity to focus on EPM. "EPM Cloud provides game-changing functionality at price points that are attractive to organizations large and small," notes Mike Dayton, HyNote's President and co-founder. "Major corporations can expand their use of EPM significantly by dynamically scaling their applications during peak periods, rather than overbuilding their IT infrastructure just to meet user loads that may only peak on a quarterly basis. For smaller organizations that couldn't afford EPM, or couldn't roll out a meaningful program, the cloud offers a whole new world of opportunity."

HyNote's EPM Cloud provides customers with access to the full portfolio of enterprise performance management software solutions available from Oracle's Hyperion suite. Companies can benefit in several ways:

· EPM implementations can be fast-tracked by virtually eliminating infrastructure setup and software installation tasks, thus circumventing the usual red tape that stalls such programs;

· IT operating and support costs can be reduced for existing Hyperion installations, especially for organizations whose programs are geared around several peak periods annually, such as quarterly financial close or planning and forecasting processes;

· POC (proof-of-concept) programs can be rolled out quickly and easily, thereby empowering analysts and line-of-business managers to demonstrate the value of new programs and ideas;

· IT directors can rest assured knowing that their EPM applications and supporting infrastructure are being pro-actively monitored and maintained around-the-clock without the usual internal expenses.

Dayton notes that HyNote is also rolling out a special "sandbox" offering: "We're looking for clients interested in exploring the benefits and ROI of cloud computing with the guidance and support of application and infrastructure experts. To make the experience as risk-free as possible, we have created a sandbox environment where clients can explore a fully functioning EPM suite deployment running in Amazon Web Services' EC2 cloud. For companies willing to publicly support EPM Cloud and share their experience once they've tested it, we are even willing to provide free setup and initial support assistance for creating customized sandbox environments where clients can conduct real-world tests around their specific EPM configuration."

HyNote will demonstrate its new EPM Cloud offering in a Webcast with Amazon Web Services Wednesday, Feb. 18. More information here: https://www2.gotomeeting.com/register/667510291

Social Networking Pioneers Launch Audience Machine To Help Online Brands Leverage Shared Interests Across Social Networks

Social Networking Pioneers Launch Audience Machine To Help Online Brands Leverage Shared Interests Across Social Networks

Social Networking Pioneers Launch Audience Machine To Help Online Brands Leverage Shared Interests Across Social Networks. Audience Machine to provide unique social networking technologies and viral marketing services to Brands, Entertainment, Health & Wellness and Education Companies.

Los Angeles, CA and Charlottesville, VA (PRWEB) February 17, 2009 -- Social networking and viral marketing expert, VBMA (Viral & Buzz Marketing Association) board member, and Perceptions, Practices & Ethics in Word of Mouth Marketing author Todd Tweedy (http://www.audiencemachine.com/about/) today introduced, Audience Machine Inc. (http://www.audiencemachine.com), a unique technology company helping online brands who want to identify, cultivate and mobilize communities of individuals with shared interest across social networking sites to build their businesses using Audience Machine's online marketing tools.

Guided by Tweedy, and video technology pioneer and advertising veteran Dan Bates (http://www.audiencemachine.com/about/), Audience Machine helps brand and product managers, chief marketing officers as well as ecommerce executives to establish new networks of social networking connections and dialog in support of purchasing preferences and participation in word of mouth referrals.

"Social networking sites like Facebook and MySpace are relationship amplifiers for brands, products and services that can have a profound influence on preferences, referral behavior, information consumption and internet usage if advertisers are prepared to listen to, act on and match the right technology and community practices to support a desired purchase outcome or subscription," noted Todd Tweedy, co-founder and CEO of Audience Machine. "There is a natural migration of dialogs from offline sources to online social sharing sites. Marketing executives want to embrace customer-facing ad strategies and incorporate social networking processes in their firm's online marketing DNA that can boost product perceptions and potential sales but many enterprises lack the expertise and resources to realize those objectives. Audience Machine was founded to give online brands unique technology solutions, community development processes, marketing services, analytics, and expertise they need to engage and collaborate with audiences."

Audience Machine also announced that is has signed a strategic business development consulting agreement that will be led by Provident Financial Management (http://www.rsmi.com/), a prominent established leader in entertainment and media business management.

"Audience Machine is at the heart of an evolving consumer-facing marketing phenomenon that is transforming connections on social networks into a powerful audience generation channel. Led by an experienced executive team and founded on concrete business fundamentals with a number of high-profile clients already on board, Audience Machine is a rising star among our media and communication clients," stated Craig Sussman, Business Development Director at Provident. We're excited to support Audience Machine as they grow their technology and services business practices with customers that want and need to expand and sustain business growth by creating networks of social commerce."

Word of Mouth Communications Opportunity

The eighth annual Burson-Marsteller/PRWeek CEO Survey (http://www.burson-marsteller.com/Innovation_and_insights/blogs_and_podcasts/BM_Blog/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx?ID=79) published in November 2008, which surveys CEO's about the changing influence of different types of media as well as plans for digital communications including social networking, reported that 60% of CEO's noted that word of mouth has the fastest growing influence on business in the past three years but that just one-fifth of firms have used social media to communicate with stakeholder groups.

The proliferation of social networking and community sites has transformed viral and word of mouth marketing practices into a practical and necessary communication solution due in part to research findings that note that nearly 80% of consumers trust recommendations from people they know over all forms of advertising and marketing. These authentic and trusted voices serve an important role by distributing compete information for others to act upon across search engines and into indexes of shared knowledge that people can access along with advertiser-generated experiences and evidence whenever 1,463,632,361 internet users from around the world - based on Internet Usage and Population in North American data provided by Internet World Stats - need to research a brand, product or service.

Audience Machine Team

Led by Tweedy, who's career started in the political grassroots mobilization arena working on Presidential, Senatorial, Congressional, Inaugural and issue-based public relations campaigns, the Audience Machine team has 35 years of combined leadership experience in online marketing, real-time communications, ASP development, video ad technology, viral marketing, search engine optimization, and community development practices.

Dan Bates, co-founder, president and COO brings a vast wealth of knowledge in community technology development, online video, online advertising and a decade's experience in filmed entertainment and music. Bates previous served as CEO of Avant Interactive, an object-based video ad serving technology provider.

About Audience Machine

With offices in Los Angeles, California and Charlottesville, Virginia, Audience Machine is a provider of unique community technology solutions and online marketing services. Audience Machine works with online brands to identify, cultivate and mobilize communities of shared interest to establish social commerce that CMO's, brand and product managers, and ecommerce executives can enlist to grow their business.

ChicagoVideos.com Offers Free Embedding of Award-Winning Web Videos To Any Site

ChicagoVideos.com Offers Free Embedding of Award-Winning Web Videos To Any Site

Add award-winning Chicago neighborhood videos to any web site for free. ChicagoVideos.com provides professionally produced footage of 40+ distinct Chicago communities, shot in edgy documentary style. All videos are available to watch directly on the site and embed to other web sites by copying and pasting the provided code. As part of the free video sharing concept, users can also post their own videos.

Chicago, IL (PRWEB) February 16, 2009 -- A new Chicago-based web site offers free embedding of award-winning web videos about the city's most popular neighborhoods. The professionally produced footage on ChicagoVideos.com (http://www.chicagovideos.com/) shows glimpses of 40+ distinct Chicago communities. Each video is a snapshot of life in the Windy City from the perspective of actual residents, business owners and other locals. ChicagoVideos.com was created to supply other Chicago-related web sites with fresh, interactive content that can help boost visitor interest and traffic at no extra cost. Video code embeds from ChicagoVideos.com are shared by copying and pasting provided textboxs from the site.

Every video clip on the Chicago videos (http://www.chicagovideos.com/contact-us/) web site is available to watch directly on the site and/or embed to other web sites for free. The motivation behind ChicagoVideos.com is to establish a nexus for "Free Chicago Video Sharing." Visitors are not only invited to view and obtain online footage, but are welcome to add their own creative productions for others to see and use. The site has potential to become a very extensive link to a wide variety of personal and professional portraits of everyday life in the Windy City.

The concept is simple. As the website's homepage explains, "Watch Chicago videos, embed the ones you like on your site, and post your own featurettes."

The objective of ChicagoVideos.com is to have a continuously expanding repertoire of Chicago-related web videos as more and more users participate in free video sharing (http://www.chicagovideos.com/about/). Both professional and amateur productions are accepted and all new content will be available to embed on other websites for no charge.

This type of resource can provide a considerable benefit to Chicago-centric sites lacking the funds to produce or purchase their own web videos. Videos are a common feature on today's web sites that can make a site competitive and draw visitor traffic, but can also be expensive and time-consuming to create. ChicagoVideos.com makes it easy and affordable for any Chicago site to have first-rate videos from a conceivably endless inventory of footage.

The original 40+ neighborhood videos on ChicagoVideos.com are shot in documentary style and were collectively a Silver Winner of the 2007 W³ Awards. The W³ acknowledges creative excellence on the web and is sanctioned by the International Academy of the Visual Arts. The footage is fast paced and captivating, drawing upon both environmental and human elements of the distinctive Chicago communities. Each video is a window into neighborhood life with a first-hand look inside restaurants, bars, shops, homes, and offices--in addition to a brief tour of the local landscape.

ChicagoVideos.com neighborhood videos with the highest "sharing rating" include Lincoln Park (http://www.chicagovideos.com/lincoln-park/), The Loop (http://www.chicagovideos.com/loop/), Old Town, Gold Coast, West Loop, Wicker Park (http://www.chicagovideos.com/wicker-park/), Bucktown, Wrigleyville (http://www.chicagovideos.com/wrigleyville/), South Loop and River North. Local companies, community organizations, real estate agencies, and anyone with a website about Chicago can take advantage of ChicagoVideos.com's free embedding to give their site edgy new substance and a splash of local flavor.

Bucktown Video Highlights (http://www.chicagovideos.com/bucktown/)

The footage takes visitors through the streets of this ultra trendy community and talks with the owners and patrons of several well-known neighborhood institutions….

"Bucktown has corner taverns, smaller restaurants, a lot of independent operators as far as clothing stores and such… more artistic, more cultural, more diverse," says the owner of Club Lucky, an Italian restaurant that serves Sicilian specialties from generations-old recipes.

Over the decades, many famous faces have dropped into Margie's Candies, a legendary Bucktown soda fountain. "This is where the Beatles sat and the Smashing Pumpkins made their album cover… this is the table where Al Capone sat all the time," explains the grandson of Margie's original founder on a tour of the 88-year-old shop.

In describing the neighborhood from her fashion-forward Bucktown-based clothing store, one of the owners of Akira says, "Bucktown is very comparable to a mini SoHo of New York."

The neighborhood videos are set to music and are generally between 1.5 and 4 minutes long. They are edited to portray a fun, energetic vibe and show major attractions as well as interviews with people.

About ChicagoVideos.com

ChicagoVideos.com was launched in 2009 as a free online video sharing forum. It was created as an unlimited opportunity for visitors to watch, post, and embed web videos at no cost to the user. The site is designed to accommodate a growing library of footage as the network of participants expands. The goal of ChicagoVideos.com is to become the definitive source for online videos about Chicago. As the number of videos increases, its usefulness and significance will spread to a broader audience, creating new horizons for all participants. The original 40+ neighborhood videos, around which the site was built, were part of a project pioneered by Chicago-area real estate company Dream Town Realty (http://www.dreamtown.com/).

MetroDealz Launches New Recession-Busting Money-Saving Website to Find the Best Deals In Your City

MetroDealz Launches New Recession-Busting Money-Saving Website to Find the Best Deals In Your City

The recession is taking a toll on all of us and MetroDealz.com can help save serious money by finding the absolute best deals in your city. Whether shopping for groceries, gasoline, or other essentials, you'll find the best bargains at MetroDealz.com.

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) February 16, 2009 -- MetroDealz (http://www.metrodealz.com) launches new web site to help people beat the recession by finding the best bargains in their city and saving them the most money possible on the essentials of life - food, clothing, shelter, and more.

Featuring city-based reviews of businesses, services, and products that offer the best overall deals, bargains, and freebies, MetroDealz is 100% free to use and gives people a voice to communicate and share their "secret" places for shopping to help everyone save money.

"We know that people are having a tough time making it through this recession, perhaps the toughest time in their lives," says cofounder Joseph Gutwirth. "We're all in this together and the MetroDealz community is here to help as a central point to learn about and share real bargains to save serious money," says Gutwirth.

Whether you're looking for the cheapest, but best quality grocery store in Los Angeles, or want to know where to find the cheapest gasoline in New Jersey, MetroDealz will help answer it. You can also find national offers, such as the lowest priced international long distance provider in the country.

"It just doesn't make sense to buy your eggs from one market, then drive to another market because they have the best price on milk, and then drive to yet another market for the best price on bread. It's certainly not enough of a savings to overcome refilling your gas tank," says partner Naida Hebovic. "At MetroDealz our goal is to find the best overall savings in one place so that you can truly reap the total savings benefit and save time too," says Hebovic.

To begin, site-users view "Dealz" & "Freebies" that have been entered by other users and the MetroDealz staff. You can view all the bargains and freebies within the Google Map interface, search by Zip code, city or state, or search by type of business or service. Additional search options allow users to find where the deals are by proximity from their locations. Users can enter any "Dealz" or "Freebies" that they know about in their neighborhoods, nationally, or on the Internet so that others can benefit from this information.

"MetroDealz also provides resources that people in real need can use to help get back on their feet - lists of food banks in major cities, and details of government programs to be offered as a result of the new stimulus bill," says Hebovic.

For more information please contact Jill Turner at mediarelations (at) metrodealz.com or by phone at 323-786-8163. You can also visit the site at MetroDealz.com (http://www.metrodealz.com)
