Enghouse Interactive Announces Pure IP Operator Console Option for Avaya CS1000
Phoenix, Arizona (PRWEB) April 24, 2012
Enghouse Interactive, developer of the most comprehensive portfolio of interaction management solutions, announced the availability of Intuition Acclaim 5.2, the latest in the Datapulse line of leading console and directory applications for Avaya PBXs. The latest release adds direct IP connectivity for Avaya CS1000 plus a number of new and enhanced features, including click to dial and extended support for Microsoft Lync and other Microsoft products.
Enghouse Interactive?s Intuition Acclaim IP Attendant enables users of Avaya CS1000 version 7 and higher to eliminate the need for digital line cards as well as M2250 (CIU) phones on attendant desktops, allowing enterprises to have greater flexibility in where and how they deploy operator/attendant consoles. The inherent location and hardware independence enables attendants to be placed anywhere in the network and moved as needed. As a result, organizations can build redundancy and resiliency into their attendant strategies. On attendant PCs the intuitive and easy to use console interface is identical to Intuition Acclaim Gateway and Intuition Acclaim Classic editions for traditional CS1000 TDM environments, allowing businesses to migrate from TDM to IP at their own pace or run a mixed environment without affecting the experience of end users.
Beyond the new connectivity option in version 5.2, Intuition Acclaim also adds a host of other enhancements at the endpoints and behind the scenes. The new click-to-dial feature allows attendants to conveniently dial numbers directly from any supported application or web page with a simple click of the mouse. New operator statistics provide real-time monitoring to track and control operator availability, utilization, status and other important information as well as a number of historical reporting options to help organizations run smarter and more efficiently. The release also includes enhanced Microsoft Lync integration for presence and instant messaging as well as support for the latest Microsoft desktop and server environments including Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2 and SQL Server 2008.
Because Intuition Acclaim IP Attendant integrates and communicates natively with the Avaya CS1000, it supports all of the rich functionality available in the TDM solutions including a wide range of functionality not available in alternative IP attendant solutions, such as:
Document Scanning Company, MES Hybrid Document Systems Inc., Provides Annual Document Scanning Services for AutoNiche, Inc.
(PRWEB) April 24, 2012
Document scanning company, MES Hybrid Document Systems, Inc., announces it will be providing document scanning services to AutoNiche, Inc. on an annual basis. A woman-owned auto repair service, AutoNiche offers complete mechanical and electrical work supporting manufacturer warranties.
Founded in 2009, AutoNiche places a premium on honesty and exceptional customer service. Although the business today serves a wide variety of customers, it was originally formed to provide auto repair women could trust.
Because AutoNiche has limited space available for storing paperwork, the company partnered with MES Hybrid to scan all paper documents on an annual basis. By doing so, paper documents are transformed into digital files stored on a CD. The digital documents are easier to search when information from past transactions needs to be accessed.
AutoNiche selected document scanning services to save time. Rather than invest in the scanning equipment and have employees manage the physical scanning project, AutoNiche decided it would be more economical and efficient to outsource to MES Hybrid. This strategy allowed the company to focus its efforts entirely on serving its customers.
In addition, AutoNiche decided to use document scanning services to better preserve their vital company information. Paperwork is more vulnerable to damage and loss. Digital files can also streamline information sharing among employees.
?By scanning AutoNiche?s paper documents each year, we condense their vital company information down to one CD,? said Kevin D?Arcy, vice president of sales and marketing at MES Hybrid Document Systems, Inc. ?Document scanning saves AutoNiche physical storage space, valuable employee time and makes it easier for them to retrieve information when needed.?

Growthink Reveals 5 Simple Strategies to Revamp Your Website on a Budget
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) April 18, 2012
While a business owner should be an expert in marketing and not on building websites, there are 5 simple things that any business owner can do to revamp their website and increase profitability, according to Dave Lavinsky, president and co-founder of Growthink, Inc. ? an entrepreneurial strategy consulting firm.
Lavinsky outlines his 5 simple and affordable website enhancements:
#1: Set up a blog
?Even if you don’t have a website, you can go to WordPress.com and create one for free. Or download WordPress and install a free WordPress theme (google that-there are hundreds out there) to your existing site,? said Lavinsky.
#2: Post at least once per week
According to Lavinsky it is important to make a new blog post at least once per week, and to announce these new blog posts on Facebook and Twitter, as well as to email subscribers.
?For your blog posts, think about what your customers and visitors want to see and learn that’s related to your industry and product. What are their interests and concerns that you can address? If you solve a problem, what topics on prevention can you touch on that help them out?? Lavinsky said.
?You can also write about what you see in the news, and add your commentary. It’s up to you, but the tried and true method is to ask your customers what they want, and give it to them.?
Enhancing online visibility via the search engines is another essential blogging benefit that Lavinsky is keen to highlight.
?Importantly, the more blog posts you have, the more likely you are to be found on search engines, which will bring more and more potential customers to you at no charge.?
#3: Make & Upload Videos
?If writing isn’t your thing, then making short and simple videos might be even better. Get out your wireless phone’s camera and film a 60-second video of you explaining how to clean out a garbage disposal, if you’re a plumber, for example. Upload the video to YouTube, and publish it for all to see. Then click the “Share” button on your video’s page and get the “embed code” to paste onto a new post on your site,? said Lavinsky.
Lavinsky also advices to add some textual content to the blog post such as a keyword-based title (e.g., “how to clean out a garbage disposal”) and text above the video (e.g., Check out the video below where I show you how to clean out a garbage disposal”). ?This will help each blog post rank better in the search engines to get more traffic,? he said.
#4: Add Tools for Sharing
On the Growthink blog, there are little buttons saying ‘Share on Facebook’. These buttons are called “badges,” and can be installed on a website with relative ease. Lavinsky advises entrepreneurs to have badges for Twitter, Facebook, and Google Plus on their site.
?This can be done in a pretty straightforward manner,? said Lavinsky. ?Each of the sites have support pages to guide you through the process, so your best bet is to google phrases like “how to add twitter badge to website” and you’ll find the instructions needed for your type of blog.?
?Or you can use services like ShareThis.com and AddThis.com that allow you to quickly and easily add sharing buttons for Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus, LinkedIn, and more,? said Lavinsky.
#5: Register with Business Listing Sites
Lavinsky recommended a number of local business sites where entrepreneurs can list their site for no charge.
?These sites don’t take much time to get listed on, and they will drive traffic and boost your SEO rankings,? said Lavinsky.
According to Lavinsky, the most popular business sites are as follows:
Google Places
Yahoo Local
Bing Local
Yelp.com
Manta.com
Merchant Circle.com
Online Yellow Pages sites
Lavinsky advises all business owners to add these 5 simple tips to their ?to do list? in order to generate more traffic for their website.

Petrol Prices Are The Critical Issue Facing Rural Businesses, Says Internet Boss
(PRWEB UK) 11 April 2012
In an interview on BBC Radio Wiltshire, Managing Director of Cravenplan Web Design, Chris Stanbury, highlighted high petrol prices as the most serious issue facing rural businesses today ? not internet speeds.
Mr. Stanbury, speaking live from Cravenplan’s Swallowcliffe offices on April 3rd, highlighted the impact of the impending petrol crisis on a situation that is already costing employees of rural companies hundreds of pounds a year.
?There are a plenty of advantages to operating a company in a rural area ? we work in a peaceful environment, away from the noise and distractions of the city, and the parking is free as well!
?I believe the cost of petrol is the biggest issue facing rural business owners and their staff at the moment. Employees who commute to a rural office, particularly those travelling half an hour or more every day, incur considerable fuel expenses each week. Our own staff are well paid but for many businesses, especially those with part time staff, fuel costs can equal the pay the member of staff is receiving, meaning they are working for free!?
In March, Environment Secretary Caroline Spelman announced that rural businesses would benefit from a

AffiliateTraction Partners with CitizenHawk to Provide Brand Protection, Affiliate Compliance Services
Santa Cruz, California (PRWEB) April 10, 2012
AffiliateTraction, a full-service affiliate marketing agency specializing in developing and implementing affiliate marketing programs for major and mid-level Internet Retailers, has established a relationship with brand protection and enforcement firm CitizenHawk. The new partnership gives AffiliateTraction?s clients an opportunity to protect their brands online while ensuring that affiliates working through networks consistently meet compliance standards.?Our clients want to be assured that their domain assets and other intellectual property are being protected from domain hijacking, traffic diversion and affiliate fraud. They also appreciate knowing that every affiliate in their network is fully compliant with their guidelines,? said Greg Shepard, AffiliateTraction?s founder and chief executive.
According to CitizenHawk Chief Executive David Duckwitz, well-known brands with large affiliate network presences face a problem all too common in today?s e-commerce world, being targeted by online scammers employing techniques such as typosquatting to redirect Internet traffic away from the company?s legitimate websites and toward sites specifically created to capitalize on consumer confusion. ?Ignoring the problem only leads to more infringement and lost revenue. IT and legal departments already have demanding responsibilities and struggle to track down infringing domains to try and recover them,? Duckwitz said. ?We want to help AffiliateTraction?s clients save time, minimize inconvenience, maintain their brand equity and even generate incremental revenue.?
To address merchant concerns while limiting ongoing costs, AffiliateTraction has added CitizenHawk as a feature of the company’s single point client dashboard, a newly released technology that allows clients easy and instant access to a variety of statistics and action summaries of AffiliateTraction’s management and promotional activities.
According to Shepard, brands working with AffiliateTraction benefit from having a single, expert source to develop and manage their affiliate programs. “Our job is to ensure each affiliate abides by the particular brand?s compliance standards, which are designed to protect the company?s reputation while supporting a positive customer experience. However, making sure every one of a client?s affiliates is complying with those standards can be extraordinarily challenging. CitizenHawk offers technology that enables us to continually monitor a brand?s presence on the Internet.? We want every client?s affiliate network to be as effective and as successful as possible, and we are always looking for ways to strengthen them. Online brand abuse is a serious problem, but CitizenHawk has an extraordinary track record in combating it. We think they?re the best in the business, and we?re excited to team with them on this important initiative.?
