Source: Asigra

Toronto, Canada, September 13, 2013 --(PR.com)-- Asigra Inc., a leading cloud backup, recovery and restore software provider since 1986 today announced it will join with GigaOM to present a webinar titled, “Stay on top of Evolving Cloud Storage Pricing Models.” The webinar will take place on Tuesday, September 17th at 1 pm EDT and will bring innovators and industry experts together to discuss the challenges of existing cloud data backup and recovery pricing models and how pricing has evolved to be fairer, simpler to use and easier to budget.

Tweet this: Asigra and GigaOM Present Webinar on Evolving Cloud Storage Pricing Models - http://bit.ly/psJwGa - #cloud #backup

Webinar Details:
Who: Eran Farajun, Executive Vice President, Asigra, Inc., Barb Goldworm, President & Chief Analyst, FOCUS LLC, Jo Maitland, Research Director, GigaOM and Mike Osbourne, Managing Director, Phoenix IT Services.
What: Webinar: Stay on Top of Evolving Cloud Storage Pricing Models
When: September 17, 2013 at 1 pm EDT
Where: Free Registration: GigaOM Research Analyst Roundtable

The complexity and hidden charges of many popular cloud-based storage services have become a problem for customers to decipher and understand. In the area of cloud backup and recovery, the capacity license model, in which users pay for how much data they protect, is less appealing as data volumes grow and costs keep going up. This makes it hard to predict the price that customers are actually signing up for when selecting a cloud backup service, which makes budgeting difficult.

In this webinar, Asigra and a panel of experts will discuss the challenges of existing cloud data backup and recovery pricing models and how software licensing is evolving to address the rising tide of data and the causes of data loss. As examples of success in other industries, paradigm shifts in the automotive insurance market with respect to pricing will be examined to show how value-based pricing models better align with customer expectations.

Key topics to be addressed on this webinar include:
- Dominant models in cloud backup and recovery pricing today
- Limitations of traditional pricing models (with examples)
- Industries that have innovated around pricing to improve customer retention? (Auto insurance industry and others)
- Lessons learned from early pricing model innovators, including failures and successes
- Potential challenges with new pricing schemes
- The economics of cloud storage over the next 3-5 years

“As research has shown1, there is a propensity for organizations to consider pricing models that offer business and technical advantages in response to conditions impacting operations, such as data growth,” said Tracy Staniland, VP, Corporate Marketing, Asigra. “Asigra’s recovery-based approach to licensing will be highlighted in this webinar and presented as an alternative to agent- and capacity-based pricing. This new direction on licensing decouples backup pricing from data volumes to more efficiently manage the process at a lower cost and to provide more cost predictability.”

Whippany, NJ, September 13, 2013 --(PR.com)-- Building on its experience of telecom and computer technology, ZipBridge has partnered with TouchTone Communications, a full-service voice and data provider, to deliver a highly unique outbound conference calling service. Powered by TouchTone Communications, ZipBridge provides users the ability to launch a conference call or send a SMS or text message to a group of people simultaneously from their smartphone, tablet, or computer.

“There is no conference bridge number to call into. At the touch of a button and from the convenience of any device, ZipBridge calls everyone in the group for you.

As part of the partnership, ZipBridge will co-locate its servers to TouchTone’s geographically diverse data centers and exclusively utilize TouchTone’s carrier network for call completion. ZipBridge will continue to provide its own billing, while TouchTone will provide all the network services.

The inspiration for ZipBridge came after a conversation the company’s president had with a college IT director whose biggest frustration was trying to get key people on the phone right away during an emergency.

“We searched for a conference calling service that called the parties rather than the other way around, but couldn’t find one. So we built one ourselves,” said Smith.

TouchTone will offer ZipBridge outbound conferencing solutions to customers through its network of authorized agents, who are located throughout the United States.

“At TouchTone, we continually strive to bring our agents differentiated service offerings that can solve problems for their clients. ZipBridge is an excellent example of that because it offers a better and easier way to do something most of our end-user clients do every day – make and host conference calls,” said Pino Bio, President of TouchTone Communications.

About the partnership, Smith shared, “We are very excited to be working so closely with a carrier with the depth and resources of TouchTone. This partnership will help launch ZipBridge in the commercial market while solidifying our position in the Disaster Recovery market by giving us a geographically diverse serving infrastructure.”

Insight Software Solutions, Inc. Announces New Details on Time Saved Using Shortkeys Shortcut Key Program

Source: Insight Software Solutions, Inc.

Kaysville, UT, September 13, 2013 --(PR.com)-- Insight Software Solutions, Inc. has just announced that there are new details on time saved using Shortkeys Shortcut program. Shortkeys is a program that allows users to program commonly used words, sentences and phrases to save time and eliminate typing errors. It is used throughout various industries from customer service to medical transcriptions.

As a hypothetical example of time and cost savings, many emails can take at least one minute to type and respond. This includes the time it takes to think about the question, and how to phrase it. Oftentimes the response may take much longer. Assuming that the 1 minute short key is repeated 15 times daily, this represents 15 minutes a day saved by using ShortKeys. In this scenario, Insight Software Solutions, Inc. estimates that the program has the potential to pay for itself after 10 days of use. The use of additional ShortKey shortcut keys each day will save even more time and accelerate the payoff date. The setup for using Shortkeys is very simple and any time another common word or phrase is discovered it can be added in 20 seconds or less. Macro files can also be shared with co-workers and employees to create standardized responses. This is perfect for customer service and the communications field.

There are numerous benefits of Shortkeys and this is a program that is intended for use with a word processor, text editor, e-mail program and more. It replaces a text string of up to 32 characters with a word, sentence, paragraph or several paragraphs, saving the user time by not having to manually type text. This also allows for errors in typing to be eliminated. Individuals may enter an unlimited number of replacement text combinations. The replacement text may be up to 65,536 characters in length. This is a program that is ideal for sales, customer service, bloggers and any position that requires repetitive typing.

Cint Advises PR Professionals to Question Audiences’ Publication Preferences to Ensure Greatest ROI

Source: Cint

Stockholm, Sweden, September 13, 2013 --(PR.com)-- Brands’ PR teams and agencies can increase chances of achieving maximum return on investment on media relations activity by knowing which print and online publications their target audiences are reading, advises Cint, a provider of tools for obtaining market insight.

A wealth of material is provided online for all interests, from national newspapers to sector-specific websites to niche blogs, and this continues to grow. As a result, PR professionals face the on-going challenge of approaching the right media that will not only reach, but also resonate with the desired audience. Media databases, PR planning tools and specific outlets provide beneficial information, but without asking the target demographic which publications they purchase or blogs they read, some sectors may be wasting valuable PR resources.

For example, if a brand or PR agency is due to launch a new make-up range, they might question audiences about what material they read to obtain beauty tips and what resources they trust to offer advice about the best products. Furthermore, obtaining intelligence via surveys can also help establish how to successfully communicate with audiences through a particular publication. Determining the type of content people find most engaging can inform what to provide journalists and bloggers with, such as, how to get the latest eye make-up look versus what colors work together.

CEO of Cint, Bo Mattsson, says: “In an age where audiences are increasingly fragmented due to the amount of print and online media options available to them, it is crucial that PR professionals concentrate efforts on the right publications that are read by and resonate with target audiences. Strategically planned questions provide the insight with which PR professionals can pursue specific newspapers, magazines and websites as well as base content on.

“Software such as Cint Access enables PR professionals to target different demographics based on simple or more detailed parameters. The tool’s superior targeting capability can help to determine what a specific target market’s publication and content preferences are. Additionally, using online market research panels allow brands to gain consumer opinion in a matter of hours, so even when time is tight, PR agencies and in-house teams can establish which media is worth approaching and therefore likely to result in the greatest ROI for their brand.”

Cint offers a wide range of market research solutions and provides access to the opinions of over ten million people across 57 countries in the Cint OpinionHUB. For more information about how to use online consumer research tools to your brand’s advantage, visit www.cint.com
