Spontbox Extends Social Media Value with Digital Signage Solution
Toronto, Ontraio (PRWEB) November 18, 2014
Now available in the U.S. and Canada, the solution extends the use of existing social marketing resources, adding value to a company’s web content.
Since its soft launch in June 2014, Spontbox acquired nearly 50 clients. Spontbox creates an engaging TV channel for its clients using publicly available social media from product manufacturers and third party reviewers. This custom channel educates the consumer about new products and services and gives them a preview of their social experience as a subscriber to the client’s Facebook page or Youtube channel. Combined with customizable media feeds from reputable entertainment and news sources, Spontbox strengthens its clients’ social outreach.
“Many companies have a wealth of content already posted to social media channels that for one reason or another does not find the appropriate audience.” Spontbox founder Mo Nasseri said of his motivation to start the company. “Much of this social content never reaches their consumer base. Our technology parlays this existing content into digital signage for display within a business to maximize the impact and visibility of its social media efforts.”
Initially targeting dealerships, Spontbox has gained traction in the automotive industry. The company plans to grow with the rebounding U.S. automotive market, which saw a 50% increase in manufacturing sales from 2009 to 2013. Spontbox’s social channel increases consumer awareness of ongoing promotions and news from carmakers, providing benefits to dealerships over traditional TV programming.
Nasseri intends to expand the reach of Spontbox’s technology. The solution offers benefits to any industry where customers spend time shopping or waiting for service, such as hospitals, corporate lobbies, malls, and other retail stores. Accordingly, the company plans to extend its marketing efforts to retail and service providers in the future.
Spontbox is an international SaaS provider for social media digital signage. The company currently supports Facebook and Youtube, but will soon expand its offerings to include Pinterest, Twitter, and Instagram. The company capitalizes on social media trends to increase the impact of its clients’ social marketing resources. Spontbox uses digital display to simplify social visibility and engage consumers, while strengthening clients’ brand image. With its latest technology solution, Spontbox streamlines content from multiple social channels to turn customers into “followers.”

State of Connecticut Selects eiPortal for Healthcare Integration from PilotFish for Meaningful Use Testing
MIDDLETOWN, CT (PRWEB) March 04, 2013
Applied PilotFish Healthcare Integration, a provider of middleware solutions, announced today that the State of Connecticut has commenced implementation of the PilotFish eiPortal to support reporting requirements for Stage 1 Meaningful Use testing efforts.
The eiPortal, a cloud-based application, provides 24/7 access to all the implementation resources required to build an interface along with a fully automated, self-service, interface testing and validation facility that will be configured for reporting requirements.
Any common or standards-based message can be configured as an eiPortal service. Each service can be associated with a unique set of business rules, data quality checks and other validations. Once a service is configured, data exchange partners can submit messages electronically for automated review. Subsequently, a web-based UI displays immediate, detailed feedback. It also provides simulated responses (synchronous and asynchronous) to inbound messages, again without requiring human intervention or full test environments. Users can refine their interface and achieve conformance without involving their service provider.
“The State of Connecticut is really able to leverage the self-registration and automation capabilities of the eiPortal to perform Stage 1 Meaningful Use testing and HL7 format and content validation. This will enable all hospitals and practices in the State of Connecticut to build interfaces that will conform to healthcare interoperability standards,” said Neil Schappert, Executive Chairman of Applied PilotFish Healthcare Integration. “Starting with HL7 immunization messages, the State will configure services for each Meaningful Use reporting requirement. As each organization that is looking for documentation for Stage 1 attestation for reporting meets these requirements, a certificate will be issued through the eiPortal’s automated process. The time savings for State employees will be considerable.”
The eiPortal greatly exceeds the basic Meaningful Use requirements of just capturing and verifying the electronic transmission of this data. It is also capable of certifying the conformance of these messages against national standards and internal processing requirements. This capability positions Connecticut to manage future-stage Meaningful Use testing, and to use the eiPortal as a pre-production, self-service on-boarding tool to greatly benefit Connecticut healthcare providers. The on-boarding tool will ready them to begin the move to full production for Stage 2 reporting.
“We are excited to partner with PilotFish for our Meaningful Use testing,” commented Mark Raymond, CIO for the State of Connecticut. “The eiPortal allows us to eliminate significant human intervention, while providing a higher level of service to our providers, than would otherwise have been possible.”
“States and organizations are spending millions of dollars working with different partners implementing the same message over and over again. It is a repetitive process that is intensely reliant on expensive human capital. The eiPortal provides a unique solution to automating this process. It frees up IT staffs not just in Government, but in Labs, at HIEs and Manufacturers or any entity that offers a standard set of interfaces, file formats or web services for consumption by many customers,” said Neil Schappert. “Meeting this critical need for the State of Connecticut for Meaningful Use certification is just one example. We are thrilled with the opportunity to help our home state be more efficient. We are also pleased to provide the state’s practices and hospitals with an online resource that lets them meet Meaningful Use requirements faster and with far less effort.”
Applied PilotFish Healthcare Integration is exhibiting at HiMSS13, March 4-6, 2013, New Orleans, LA, Booth #7941 – see live demos of the eiPortal and eiConsole for Healthcare (an IDE featuring a graphical Assembly Line for configuring interfaces).
About PilotFish
Founded in 2001 and based in Middletown, CT, PilotFish Technology provides middleware software and services to enable the integration of disparate systems. The eiPortal for Healthcare Integration is distributed through Applied PilotFish Healthcare Integration, Inc. (APHII), a subsidiary of PilotFish Technology. Products are distributed directly to end users and through select channel partners.
