DSCallards Partners with Actian to Bring Information to Life

Thu, 17 May 2012 04:50:00 EDT

Partnership to Leverage World Record Data Speeds and Intuitive Business Intelligence

London, UK - 17th May 2012 - DSCallards Ltd, leading UK provider of Business Intelligence (BI) solutions, has signed a reseller partner agreement with Actian Corporation, pioneers of the record-breaking analytical database - Vectorwise. The partnership will complement DSCallards existing reseller agreement with Yellowfin, an easy to use and deploy BI solution. Yellowfin and Vectorwise combine to offer a total business analytics package, at a price point that dramatically increases the accessibility of world-class reporting and analytics. Together with DSCallards expertise and experience in BI, the relationship will support the underserved majority of companies in the UK where high-end analytical solutions are too cost prohibitive and low-end solutions do not offer enough performance.

The announcement was made ahead of a joint launch event that takes place on July 3rd, 2012 at IBM South Bank, London. The event invites organisations to learn more about DSCallards, Vectorwise and Yellowfin, and how they can meet their data warehousing, analytical and BI needs.
Register for the event here: www.dscallards.com/events.html

Yellowfin is fast becoming a new BI vendor of choice with its mission to build highly intuitive software that is easy to install, even easier to use, can respond to changing client reporting and analysis needs and that offers superior return on investment through widespread end-user adoption.

"We're very excited about our partnership with Actian and that in Vectorwise, we now have a solution that will help our customers to rapidly zero-in on the information they need - without wasting time sifting through vast amounts of irrelevant data", Adrian Handley, Managing Director, DSCallards. "With Vectorwise and Yellowfin BI, we have the perfect marriage of speed and ease-of-use that can benefit everyone in the organisation, not just a select few. The result is instant answers to complex queries and better decision-making across the enterprise."

Actian's analytical database, Vectorwise, is the holder of multiple world records for price/performance and offers a ground-breaking analytic throughput, at an affordable rate, for companies seeking to understand and act on increasing volumes of business and customer data.

"It is not a question of how you store or analyse your large data volumes these days, it is how quickly you can act upon the intelligence and insight you can get from your data," said Steve Shine, CEO of Actian. "The two-pronged approach of using our record-breaking database, Vectorwise, as the back end, and Yellowfin's BI layer at the front end, will not only give enterprises turbo-charged business analytics at breakneck speed, but also the chance to take action on their Big Data. And by working with DSCallards to take this proposition to market, we are set for immediate growth as DSCallards can complement the solutions with their expertise and experience. This partnership ensures that companies can gain competitive advantage by monetising their data very quickly."

"Vectorwise complements Yellowfin perfectly," said Glen Rabie, CEO of Yellowfin. "The high performance database empowers users to take their analytics to the next level and benefit from Yellowfin's superior ease-of-use, collaborative and mobile capabilities. As a result, companies can now get even more creative with their data, unearth valuable insights and take faster fact-based action than ever before."

Worldwide Study Shows Global Business Anti-Social in a Social Media Age

Thu, 17 May 2012 03:00:00 EDT

Almost half of companies fail to track social media
Over half of companies have no way to respond to customers on social media
B2B desperately lagging behind B2C in social media adoption with 75% not measuring social media

London, May 17, 2012 - New worldwide research published today by Satmetrix®, the Net Promoter® software company, highlights that the majority of organisations of all sizes across B2C and B2B are blind to the opportunities and threats of social media.

Highlights of the Satmetrix worldwide social media study include:

Businesses are blind to the threats and opportunities of social media
- 39% have no social media tracking in place at all
- 51% of B2B have no tracking compared to 22% of B2C companies surveyed
55% of companies ignore customers who provide feedback via social media - by having no process in place to respond
- This increases to 69% for B2B companies compared to 42% for B2C
67% of companies do not measure or quantify social media - increasing to 75% for B2B companies
- For those that do have some form of quantification, 56% just count the comments and followers
- Only 4% have any form of sentiment analysis
60% of businesses do not have an integrated social media strategy (either do nothing, track or follow up only)
North America leads the way with 43% of North American companies having a follow up process compared to about 25% in other regions

"Businesses recognise the need for a social media strategy, however many are challenged in putting an effective strategy in place," said Richard Owen, chief executive officer, Satmetrix. "Whilst 77% of consumers post about products, 67% of businesses have no means of measuring what is being said and less than one in 20 have any insight into the sentiment of what is being said. This is both a huge threat and a massive lost opportunity. Not only are companies running the risk of losing customers by not addressing their issues shared online but they are also walking past the opportunity to capitalise on positive comments made on the social web."

"SparkScore™, our breakthrough social media Net Promoter Score and subsequent software solutions will change the game," continued Owens. "It enables companies to understand and act on the sentiment of content shared online. It will empower companies to harness the power of social media."

Earlier this year, Satmetrix announced it will change the way businesses measure and use social media with the first-ever Net Promoter social media measurement solution, Satmetrix® SparkScore™. The solution applies the same NPS® methodology of recommendation behaviour, which identifies detractors, passives and promoters of a brand, to social media sentiment. With SparkScore, businesses will be able to measure the fluid and unstructured comments and opinions made about their brands online using Net Promoter, the widely-embraced customer loyalty metric and business practice that drives profitable growth.

In the upcoming weeks and months, Satmetrix will be releasing a series of SparkScore solutions. The first, free edition, is currently live in beta version and a limited number of invited customers have been given access. It is scheduled to launch at the Net Promoter Conference in London in June and will measure SparkScores of major brands across select industries. Using Metavana's rigorous and reliable sentiment engine, SparkScore will analyse the fluid and unstructured comments made about brands across social media sites (Facebook, Twitter, and more), as well as reviews discussion sites and applicable private customer forums, and assign a SparkScore to each brand. Companies will be able to access their overall SparkScore and compare it to their industry's benchmark and best and worst scores on a weekly basis.

Following this first release, Satmetrix will be embedding its SparkScore solutions into its Net Promoter in the Cloud software applications to enable companies to generate more powerful social media insights and drive action across their organisations to increase business results.

For media wishing to arrange an early look at the free SparkScore site before global launch in June, please contact Matt Manners. Details below.

The research was carried out in January 2012 with community members of http://www.netpromoter.com/. The results are based on 1180 responses from businesses around the globe.

New Kickstarter Project the "Next Big Thing" in App Development?

Wed, 16 May 2012 17:43:45 EDT

Portland, OR, May 16, 2012 --(PR.com)-- The project was published by the App-Different Development Studio, makers of the popular iOS utility "Last Alert", who seek funding to transform their business into a community-based crowdsourcing app design platform.

The basic idea is to give the general public a voice in designing apps for the iOS platform. App-Different members will be able vote on various aspects of the app design and function, as well as compete for prizes and cash awards by submitting their own ideas, artwork, and other contributions to further the development.

The App-Different team already has the framework in place for their first community designed app, "King Pong." They've obtained a provisional patent on a method called "AirMotion" that they've created to play the game on Apple TV. As part of the kickstarter promotion, you can download the game (as is) for free. The idea is that you try out the game, start generating ideas to improve expand on it, then go to the member forums to discuss, submit ideas, and vote on suggested improvement.

If the concept appeals to you, click here to read more about how to get involved.

They offer a wide variety of backer awards, ranging from a free completed app to "Gold Star" membership, to a 7 night stay at a 4-star resort, where you are put on a "mission" to spread the word about App-Different.

There is great potential here, as having a voice in app development will appeal to many iOS users who have insight and ideas, but until now have not had an outlet to express themselves.

This very well could be "the next big thing" in app development.
