(PRWEB) May 12, 2001

EdgeMatrix, the technology company specializing in multichannel delivery products, today announced the acquisition of Netlife Asia, the foremost e-finance solutions provider in Asia Pacific, to evolve its development from leading-edge multichannel delivery to multichannel commerce and delivery technologies.

This initiative underscores the strengths of both companies through a strategic and complementary match of technology, expertise, and management talent. The deal will be undertaken via a combination of purchase and shares exchange.

Netlife Asia¡¦s extensive expertise in digital commerce stems from their involvement in the financial services industry. The FSI sector is represented by players such as banking, securities, insurance and credit card companies. It is currently one of the most aggressive sectors in leveraging the benefits of multichannel commerce, where financial services can be accessed by customers via different digital communications channels such as the Web and wireless devices.

The combined entity will be able to immediately leverage a broader product mix, stronger technical R&D teams, more extensive business partner and customer portfolios, as well as expanded market presence. Both companies are already leaders in their respective arenas within the Asia Pacific region, and the integration provides an even stronger foundation for expansion to the global market.

“This initiative further empowers EdgeMatrix to deliver our multichannel vision by extending our domain expertise and strengthening our continued focus in the telecommunications and financial sectors. This also enables us to monetize the pervasive devices environment by adding significant transactional depth to leverage the benefits of multichannel commerce,” said Dinesh Bhatia, President and CEO of EdgeMatrix.

“Consumers of financial services today are offered a myriad of access points. Even basic tasks such as checking one’s account balance or trading a stock can be performed on the telephone, a personal computer or an Internet-enabled mobile handphone. EdgeMatrix is further empowered to deliver our multichannel vision to the global market by integrating Netlife Asia¡¦s extensive transactional knowledge base with our breakthrough multichannel communications technologies which are today GPRS-ready and immediately scalable to 3G. The need for these types of mobile commerce transactions will become increasingly apparent.”

The fusion of IT visions

Both EdgeMatrix and Netlife Asia are well-known leaders in their respective multichannel and commerce technology fields.

Established since 1996, EdgeMatrix provides multichannel technology that allows businesses to extend their access points to their customers and increase revenue streams and service levels.

EdgeMatrix has been globally recognized for its leading-edge technology including its m-commerce-enabling WAPman microbrowser, which is the world’s most popular PalmOS microbrowser download on the Internet. The company has also led first-mover implementations in Asia. EdgeMatrix’s multichannel technology drives mobile service offerings of United Overseas Bank, Bank of America, MobileOne, boom.com, DiGi Telecom, Satelindo, MBF Cards, Optus, and was also chosen for Heineken’s extremely successfully breakthrough mobile marketing campaigns in Australia. In China, EdgeMatrix has enabled hundreds of financial trading houses to provide mobile trading via its Xgate multichannel server.

Founded in 1998, Netlife Asia¡¦s singular goal was to become the foremost e-finance solutions provider. In a short span of two years, Netlife Asia has successfully developed and deployed its suite of e-finance applications encompassing banking, brokerage, electronics bill presentment and payment solutions. Netlife Asia currently powers over 150 companies, including Dah Sing Bank, Stock Exchange of Thailand, Citibank, Dell, Apple, Cybersource, Intel, Systems@Work, Motorola, Sony, Phillips Securities, and National Computer Systems.

“Both organizations have strong reputation in delivering highly-available and scalable solutions to demanding customer needs across a wide variety of key business verticals like telecommunications and financial services,” said Tobias Pelzer, CEO of Netlife Asia. “From our market experience, the FSI is one of the early adopters of EdgeMatrix’s solutions, and Netlife Asia brings with it the knowledge, the products, and the solutions that this vertical needs. Our finance expertise will greatly add to EdgeMatrix¡¦s prowess in delivering new-era multichannel commerce solutions. For example, our products have set the new industry benchmark of providing sub-5-second performance scaled to more than 1,000 concurrent user-base.¡¨

Dinesh added: “This acquisition is a natural extension of EdgeMatrix’s business reach. The multitude of combined solutions that we already have and the expansion of our addressable market, clearly demonstrates the immense potential of this strategic initiative. By incorporating, for instance, Netlife Asia¡¦s existing commerce technologies with our Xgate communications server, we create a best-of-breed multichannel commerce system that is immediately deployable to any institution. Aside from currently-existing commerce solutions, our combined R&D team will continue to develop and refine new digital commerce applications, including mobile micropayment, with an eye to multichannel deployment.”

Tobias and his management team will continue to look after the functions of the Netlife Asia business unit within EdgeMatrix under the leadership of Dinesh.

Pushing for Asia Pacific domination and global expansion

Currently, EdgeMatrix has offices in Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Australia, India and Taiwan. Netlife Asia, with its headquarters also in Singapore, has regional offices in Hong Kong, Malaysia, Thailand and Taiwan. The acquisition of Netlife Asia is an important cornerstone in EdgeMatrix¡¦s leadership position in Asia Pacific and its global rollout.

Dinesh said: ¡§EdgeMatrix will benefit from the existing customer-pool, channel network, and Netlife Asia¡¦s strategic alliance bases. Netlife Asia also injects a pool of dedicated and experienced team of personnel who will strengthen EdgeMatrix¡¦s existing presence specifically in Hong Kong and Malaysia. The combined entity will establish new presence in Thailand and China, and will have a total headcount of nearly 350 experienced staff in seven established marketplaces in Asia Pacific.¡¨

The integration process is expected to be completed by end of 2001.

Myrtle Beach, SC (PRWEB) January 26, 2009

A group of Internet-based graphic designers has launched GraphicDesignFreelanceJobs.com (http://www.graphicdesignfreelancejobs.com), a new website to help graphic designers find their next paying freelance graphic design jobs. GraphicDesignFreelanceJobs.com gives freelancers free access to hundreds of current freelance graphic design jobs.

Graphic designers can find freelance jobs for many popular and niche-focused design disciplines, such as graphic design, logo design, banner design, website design, and print design. The site’s easy-navigation lets graphic designers click on a specific design discipline to find the best-matched design job; otherwise, users can use the site’s search tool to find specific freelance jobs by keyword or job type.

GraphicDesignFreelanceJobs.com fulfills a demand to review and list freelance graphic design jobs from a variety of online job boards, as well as organize job listings in a way that saves graphic designers precious time researching jobs that closely match their skill-set.

Full-time self-employed freelance graphic designers make up about 25 percent of the entire graphic design industry, but an even larger non-reported percent includes “hobbyists” and recently laid-off creative arts people who freelance as graphic designers in their spare time to earn extra cash.

Brian Scott, the site’s founder, said, “The majority of users who use our site include not only full-time freelance graphic designers, but also part-timers and aspiring graphic designers who seek short-term projects for extra cash or to build their portfolio.”

GraphicDesignFreelanceJobs.com lists paid graphic design jobs ranging from quick “one-day” assignments to in-depth “month-long” projects, paying from $ 100 to $ 3,000 per project — and much more. On average, the web site lists between 75 and 150 new freelance graphic design jobs each day.

Freelancing as a graphic designer is a fast growing niche occupation on the Internet today, only second to freelance writing. “Even in a recession, the number of freelance graphic design jobs continues to grow,” said Scott, who attributes the steady growth to downsized companies outsourcing more projects.

The US Department of Labor and the Occupational Outlook Handbook predicts graphic design jobs to grow by 10 percent this year as demand for graphic design continues to increase from advertisers, publishers, and computer design firms. Scott predicts that online freelance jobs for graphic designers will grow by a much larger percent as new technology — video games, mobile applications, cell phones, and online interactive media — thirsts for new graphic design talent from across the globe.

GraphicDesignFreelanceJobs.com is part of a network of “how to freelance” websites — all run and maintained by working freelancers — which include Graphic Design Bids, Freelance Photography Jobs, and Freelance Portfolios.

Graphic Designers can view today’s freelance jobs at http://www.GraphicDesignFreelanceJobs.com

Conshohocken, PA (PRWEB) February 02, 2012

Student recruiting firm TargetX has redesigned its website, making it easier for college admissions and marketing professionals to find video, blog posts, book chapters and other best-practice information that will help them succeed in an increasingly competitive environment.

“More than any other company, we put a lot of effort into free resources for the higher education industry,” said Marketing Vice President Adrienne Hamson. “But until now, it might have been difficult to find it all. In revising our website, we focused on making that content easier to find.”

Among the resources that TargetX offers are:

A video library consisting of the company’s popular “Free on Friday” webcasts aimed at admissions officers.

The iThink Blog, a compendium of posts about student recruiting from a variety of contributors.

Free chapters from CEO Brian Niles’ book, Overthrowing Dead Culture: A Vision to Change the World of College Recruiting.

Client stories that provide examples of how colleges are using technology and the campus visit to recruit students more effectively and efficiently.

The opportunity to register for TargetX’s unique users group meeting — the Xpert Summit — scheduled for Las Vegas July 9-10 and open to non-clients.

Back issues of the Recruitment Minute, the weekly tip, trend or observation about college recruiting and marketing that has been around since 2002.

Coinciding with the launch of the new site, TargetX for the first time is inviting readers of the Recruitment Minute and other professionals in the field to contribute their own tips and techniques to the weekly email broadcast. “We want to share all that knowledge and advice that our readers have,” said Hamson, “so we are opening up the Recruitment Minute to higher ed marketers and recruiters, and others who serve higher education.”

To learn more and to subscribe to the Recruitment Minute, visit:

http://targetx.com/recruitmentminute/

In addition to simplifying access to its best-practice content, TargetX has made other improvements to the website. “It’s faster, easier to navigate and more interactive,” said Hamson. “And the information we provide about TargetX products and services is much more digestible. We were concerned that we were overwhelming visitors with all the things we do as a company. Now we’re focusing much more on storytelling — which is something we tell colleges they must do to be successful.”

TargetX is the leading student recruiting firm serving higher education. It offers both technology tools and consulting services designed to help colleges recruit today’s more sophisticated, web-savvy students. Founded in 1998 on the belief that colleges need to change the way they communicate with prospects and their families, TargetX has been a forward-thinking leader in managing change in higher education and embracing the concept of the experience in higher ed marketing.

In 2008, TargetX introduced a groundbreaking CRM tool for admissions offices — the Student Recruitment Manager®. The SRM® is built on the proven Force.com platform of Salesforce.com, the worldwide leader in on-demand customer relationship management and a pioneer in cloud computing. The result is a cloud-based system that is the most powerful, mobile and customizable recruiting tool in higher education.

Last year, TargetX launched an Education & Training Center (ETC) where admissions professionals can collaborate and brainstorm with colleagues and thought leaders through coursework and office retreats.

Master Model Railroader, Howard Zane, a celebrated world-class figure among serious model railroaders, is a producer of the Show, along with business partner and expert modeler Ken Young. Among a half-dozen recognized professional model railroad appraisers and experts in the world, Zane’s formal training was in industrial design. He has a degree in fine arts from NYU, is a graduate of Parsons School of Design, and studied at the University of London and the Sorbonne in Paris. Zane’s architecturally designed, historically accurate, scratch-built model railroad layout structures have been sold around the world, and he has been commissioned to design and construct custom personal layouts around the U.S.

At more than 2,800 square feet — larger than most entire homes — Zane’s own personal HO-scale layout is among the largest private layouts in the world. Zane continually works on expanding the features and size of his globally celebrated creation, the scope of which has required additions to his home. Named the “Piermont Division,” his layout has been featured often in model railroad magazines and various media, including Model Railroader, Railroad Model Craftsman, Allen Keller Productions’ “Great Model Railroads” video series, the PBS series “Tracks Ahead,” and has been featured in broadcasts on Maryland Public Television and TV network affiliates numerous times.

Set in a painstakingly crafted landscape, the details of the Piermont Division layout are excruciatingly accurate, down to signs on buildings, curtains, window shades and fire escapes, trash in the streets, and lit street lamps.
