Libertyville, IL (PRWEB) February 28, 2013

We’re heading into March once again, and that means it’s time for the NCAA Basketball Tournament, or perhaps better known as March Madness. LED Display Signs will be holding its March Madness Sale starting with the first jump ball on March 19th, and continuing through the entire tournament, ending in the Georgia Dome on April 8th. During this sale, LDS will be slashing all “made to order” outdoor and semi-outdoor programmable LED signs and message boards by 5% off the quoted price for anyone who says the words “March Madness Sale” prior to purchase of a new sign. LDS already has the lowest prices combined with a 30 day “price guarantee”, along with a “best in industry” 5 year warranty. The additional 5% discount makes it a “slam dunk” that it is the best deal available for anyone planning to purchase an outdoor LED message board or scrolling window sign.

Winter is almost over, and spring is just around the corner. That means that more and more people will be out and about in cars and on foot, as the weather warms up. There is no better time to think about increasing the visibility to prospective customers, and no better way to do it than with a colorful, moving programmable LED message center. Combining this marketing reality with the March Madness Sale is a formula for a highly profitable spring.

LED Display Signs is a provider of electronic moving message boards ranging from small window displays to full size roadside billboards. All “made to order” models are manufactured in the USA, and offer lifetime technical support. Visit http://www.led-display-signs.com for more information.

Imprivata CEO Omar Hussain Honored as Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year 2013 Award Winner

Lexington, Mass. (PRWEB) July 02, 2013

Imprivata®, a leading global provider of healthcare IT security solutions, today announced that president and CEO Omar Hussain has been named Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year® 2013 in the Security and Compliance category for the New England region. The award recognizes outstanding high-growth entrepreneurs who demonstrate excellence and extraordinary success in such areas as innovation, financial performance and personal commitment to their businesses and communities.

“I am honored to be chosen as a winner of this prestigious award, which I consider to be recognition of all Imprivata’s phenomenal employees who have helped the company grow from a small startup to a long-term strategic partner for healthcare organizations around the world,” said Omar Hussain, president and CEO of Imprivata. “Our employees as well as our investors have been willing to take risks and support our decisions in pursuit of a common goal because they are passionate about what Imprivata stands for. In addition, we have forged strong, trusted relationships with our global customer base, with which we work closely to develop solutions that simplify healthcare IT for the betterment of patient care. The combination of these factors creates a foundation on which a successful company can be built.”

One of the biggest risks Hussain took came in 2009 when he elected to focus primarily on the healthcare market. At that point, Imprivata was successfully selling its products across multiple industries, earning annual revenues of about $ 20 million. Although only about 60 percent of revenue came from healthcare at that time, Hussain recognized that Imprivata’s healthcare clients were using the company’s technology to solve far-reaching, strategic challenges unique to that industry. Hussain felt this was a significant opportunity to reposition the company for long-term success, and since that time, the risk has paid off.

Today, more than 1,000 hospitals and 2 million licensed users in healthcare globally rely on Imprivata every day to simplify healthcare IT for the betterment of patient care. Revenue exceeded $ 50 million in 2012 and Imprivata employs more than 250 people globally. The company’s robust partner ecosystem includes all major electronic health records providers as well as leading technology firms such as Citrix, VMware, Samsung, Dell Wyse, TI and Teradici.

“Omar has been a tremendous leader for Imprivata and a mentor to its employees, fostering a culture of innovation that has grown the company from a budding startup to a global industry leader,” said Dave Barrett, Managing General Partner at Polaris Partners and a member of Imprivata’s Board of Directors. “Being selected as an Entrepreneur of the Year by Ernst & Young is remarkable and a well-deserved honor. We congratulate Omar on this award and look forward to continued success at Imprivata for years to come.”

Now in its 27th year, the Ernst &Young Entrepreneur of the Year Program has honored the inspirational leadership of such entrepreneurs as Howard Schultz of Starbucks Coffee Company, Arthur M. Blank of AMB Group, LLC (The Home Depot, Atlanta Falcons), Pierre Omidyar of eBay Inc., Ruth Fertel of Ruth’s Chris Steak House, Maxine Clark of Build-A-Bear Workshop, Inc., Tom Adams of Rosetta Stone, Reid Hoffman and Jeff Weiner of LinkedIn, and 2012 winner Hamdi Ulukaya, founder of Chobani Inc.

These regional award winners now go on to compete at the national level. Award winners in several national categories, as well as the National Entrepreneur of the Year Overall Award winner, will be announced at the annual awards gala in Palm Springs, California, on November 16, 2013. The awards are the culminating event of the Ernst & Young Strategic Growth Forum®, the nation’s most prestigious gathering of high-growth, market-leading companies.

Targets of Opportunity Still Hackers Best Friends, With Some New Twists, Mid-Year 2013 ENISA Report Shows

New York, NY (PRWEB) September 25, 2013

One thing is proven relentlessly in this digital age, cyber crime has no borders. So even though the Threat Landscape, Mid-year 2013 report published last week is the work of the European Network and Information Security Agency (ENISA), “The finding are just as relative to organizations here in the US,” says Joe Caruso, founder and CEO/CTO of Global Digital Forensics (GDF), a premier cyber security solutions provider based out of New York, “ and failing to stay up-to-date and informed about all the current trends in cyber threats and delivery methods is one sure way to put any organization’s digital assets at risk. That’s exactly what network vulnerability assessments conducted by knowledgeable and competent professionals are designed to do, but doing them regularly is also paramount in the fluid and ever-evolving world of cyber crime.”

Oldies still topping the charts.

“One thing that should catch everyone’s eye is the fact that almost every type of threat trended up compared to last year, with the exception of spam, which has slowly but steadily been being replaced with much more effective phishing and spear phishing campaigns. But holding the “king of the hill” title is still the Drive-by-exploit, which you can think of as taking advantage of a target of opportunity. A Drive-by can take many forms, but they usually involve misdirection, like fake pop-up ads that prompt you to click on an ad or a fake error message that make you think you’re getting one thing while delivering quite another when you navigate to a site which has been injected with malicious code. The bad news is that many of the sites hosting the malicious code may be legitimate and are often not even aware that they have been infected, and that they are facilitating the spread of malware to others. But once the injected code is happened upon, it can take advantage of weaknesses in popular applications like Adobe Reader and Air, Flash and Java, browser exploits, or even unpatched operating system vulnerabilities. And from there the hacker responsible is free to wreak havoc with their newly found access to the victim and their network.”

Easier access to exploits and harder to follow their tracks.

“One of the constants across the board is that hackers are getting better at covering their tracks by using delivery methods which are much harder to track, from leveraging cloud and mobile technology, to an increased focus on using malicious URLs. The most frightening aspect though, is that these days almost anyone with the desire to hack others and a few dollars to invest can gain access to powerful malware that is almost as easy as a point and shoot camera, for everything from code injection, to DDoS attacks (Distributed Denial of Service), because black market exploits are increasingly easy to find on numerous hacker boards, and anonymous digital currencies like Bitcoins are making those kinds of transactions that much harder to trace.”

Don’t try this at home.

“It takes a full and focused commitment to stay on top of everything when it comes to cyber threats, with new tactics, vulnerabilities and malware hitting the scene all the time. So it only makes sense that trying to handle the task completely internally will come up far short most of the time. Having professional network vulnerability assessments regularly performed by seasoned experts like our teams at GDF really slides the effectiveness scale way up. We live and breathe this stuff, so it’s not an interruption of our job, which is what it typically turns into for organizations trying to trudge the cyber security path alone, it’s the purpose of our job. And our commitment to staying informed, educated, and fully competent in today’s threat landscape, while also keeping an eye on the trends developing for tomorrow, will not be rivaled by any client’s internal IT pros.”

The key is understanding how the threat landscape can affect a particular organization’s weak points and unique digital architecture.

“Every client’s needs are unique. A retailer and a financial institution will typically have very different vulnerabilities to worry about, not only from a technology standpoint, but also from a regulatory compliance standpoint. The same goes for health care organizations, universities, design firms, infrastructure entities and so on, and we’ve worked with them all. That broad expertise gives us a big leg up when it comes to identifying weaknesses with our comprehensive network vulnerability assessments and professional penetration testing. It allows us to streamline the process to make it the most effective and revealing for any type of client, while keeping costs in check by not chasing ghosts which are completely irrelevant to the client’s situation; one client may need an extreme focus put on mobile devices, another cloud services, another vulnerable applications. We look at the big picture first, then start focusing on the necessary details. In the end, the client’s cyber security posture is not only substantially improved, but the groundwork for regulatory compliance and emergency incident response are also developed and/or strengthened. And that can make a huge difference in both the devastating costs a successful cyber attack can have, as well as the lost client trust and business integrity that can suffer right along with it. In a nutshell, the advantages of professionally conducted network vulnerability assessments and penetration testing far outweigh the potentially sky-high costs of inaction.

Registration Open for SKIMs Spring 2013 Marketing Research Webinar Series

New York, NY (PRWEB) February 22, 2013

SKIM, an international market research agency, will kick off its 2013 Spring Webinar Series with “Using social media in a ‘brandless’ category,” presented by communication and social media research expert Sourabh Sharma on Thursday, February 28. Registration for the entire series is available at http://www.skimgroup.com/webinars.

1) Using social media in a ‘brandless’ category

February 28, 2013

1pm EST

Presenter: Sourabh Sharma, communication and social media research expert

Digital communications is today’s leading marketing force, owing to the fact that consumers have candid conversations about brands online. Yet, it is especially challenging to derive insights in a category where there is brand saturation, or where the category overpowers the brands themselves, making it virtually “brandless.” Illustrated by a butter/margarine category case study – and touching on the fundamentals of social media research – Sharma will show attendees how to revitalize digital communications with greater effectiveness in “brandless” categories.

2) Menu-Based Conjoint: A new method

March 14, 2013

1pm EST

Presenters: Eline van der Gaast, new venture director, and Christopher Fotenos, project manager consumer goods

Consumer choices are getting more complex in the face of wide-ranging options and opportunities to personalize. This poses an ongoing challenge for marketers seeking to offer the right product configuration at the right price. We can now model and predict complex consumer choices, such as through menu-based or personalized offers. Menu-Based Conjoint (MBC) is an optimal methodology marketers seeking an optimal product configuration. Featuring an entertaining fictional, non-technical case study, attendees will learn about this new methodology, the special insights it yields, and the scope of its application.

3) Marketing medical nutrition

March 28, 2013

1pm EST

Presenter: Laura Dekker, project manager healthcare

Increasingly, medical nutrition solutions are being developed to treat or prevent diseases like diabetes, Alzheimer’s, sarcopenia, HIV and obesity. Previously, drugs have been predominantly prescribed for these conditions, while medical nutrition has been traditionally used only to address malnutrition. Medical nutrition is therefore not yet perceived as an obvious solution to treat or prevent diseases. Successfully marketing these products presents numerous challenges. Join the presenters as they share how you can take on the challenges of marketing medical nutrition.

4) A consultant, researcher & client walk into a bar: An unfiltered look at the consumer insights process

April 11, 2013

1pm EST

Presenter: Juan Andres Tello, regional director consumer Americas

The consumer insight process brings together multiple stakeholders working towards one goal: making better business decisions affecting consumers. However, interactions between practitioners can hinder the process. Differing skills, individual agendas and conflicting visions of “success” can sometimes make the process rocky and less effective. This story brings together three unfiltered views of the insights world – from a client, researcher, and consultant – providing an honest look at what we should learn from each other to make the process seamless, become more well-rounded practitioners, and ultimately drive impactful decisions and strategies.

5) Online moderating around the clock

April 25, 2013

1pm EST

Presenters: Hannah Baker Hitzhusen, director healthcare, and Daisy Lau, project manager healthcare

SKIM recently implemented and managed a global online bulletin board in 10 different countries with the goal of generating new product ideas and marketing solutions for a client. Full respondent engagement combined with total moderator immersion resulted in a deep exploration of the respondents’ working environment and daily activities. Hitzhusen and Lau will share and discuss what continuous online engagement can offer over traditional qualitative research.

6) Pricing beliefs uncovered: A meta-analysis of 200+ price elasticity studies covering 7,000 SKUs and 500 brands

May 9, 2013

1pm EST

Presenters: Juan Andres Tello, regional director consumer Americas, and Daniela Piacenza, account director

Setting the right price is vital for every company. It allows you to communicate your brand’s value in relation to competitive offerings and is therefore a major marketing lever. The question remains: How far can one go in increasing price while still maintaining the perceived value of the brand? Over the past five years, SKIM has carried out more than 200 pricing studies covering 18 different countries, more than 7,000 SKUs and about 500 brands in 45 product categories. Tapping into this wealth of information we have sought to create a database to leverage knowledge and identify behavioral trends on pricing. Join Tello and Piacenza for this webinar in which they will reveal the three main factors that drive price elasticity.
