Sonae's Retail Division Implements Business Assurance RAID From WeDo ... - Yahoo Finance

Posted: 11 Jan 2010 07:23 AM PST

LISBON, Portugal, January 11 /PRNewswire/ -- WeDo Technologies, world leader in Business Assurance, announces that the retail division of Sonae has chosen WeDo Technologies' Business Assurance RAID software, to handle internal quality control processes and supplier's cost control.

The solution will import data from various platforms to a central repository, applying rules to identify errors or inconsistencies which will trigger actions and alarms and provide a range of analysis and reports.

"In our business, timely supply of information is essential, so it is very important to have a tool to pre-emptively detect and correct any anomalies that may arise. Business Assurance RAID will help us to reduce data transfer problems, control system configuration, and to optimize internal processes such as the consolidation of information for management. No less important is the fact that WeDo Technologies' solution will improve the control of transactions and provide quality assurance of information," says Manuela Oliveira, Sonae's Information Systems Director - Clients and Services.

According to Joao Valente, WeDo Technologies' General Manager for New Markets Development, "Sonae's retail division has decided to implement the Business Assurance RAID system mainly to accelerate the detection of delays or loss of information due to inconsistencies or gaps which occur in systems or processes. With this solution we believe that Sonae will make significant gains, since RAID provides a graphical interface that lets you design and configure the validation process, allowing you to analyse the corresponding results as the process runs."

During the implementation phase, which will take eight months, a team of four staff from WeDo Technologies will provide full training and support.

Sonae's adoption of the RAID system is in line with WeDo Technologies' strategy of broadening its approach to sectors of the market such as retail, finance and utilities through the Business Assurance concept.

Aligned with this strategy WeDo Technologies is attending NRF's Retail Big Show 2010 in Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York City, until January 13th.

The Ultimate Joint Venture Boot Camp in Las Vegas Helps Entrepreneurs ... - YAHOO!

Posted: 11 Jan 2010 07:37 AM PST

Scott Letourneau, business credit and fast start to profits authority is conducting an event to help business owners and entrepreneurs beat the odds in 2010 and beyond by mastering the #1 skill set to help business owners Master True Leverage for Maximum Profits™ for Your Business!

Las Vegas, NV (PRWEB) January 11, 2010 -- The Ultimate Joint Venture Boot Camp in Las Vegas (January 29-31), will be the only event in 2010 to teach business owners the A to Z Blue Print needed to leverage joint ventures to bring massive profits into your business.

Boot Camp instructors include: Michael Price - Fortune 100 training coach and former trainer for Tony Robbin's company, Steve Wilkinghoff - Best selling author of Found Money, Spike Humer - Turnaround expert and professional mentor, Peter Droubay – Best Selling Author and former sales team trainer for Tony Robbins, Sherwood Cook, a Top 100 Attorney and one of Nevada's "Legal Elite", Alexander Van Buren - a hypnotherapist and behavioral modeler of world-class champions.

Mr. Letourneau's company, Nevada Corporate Planners, Inc. has been in business for over 13 years. In that time he has helped more than 5,000 entrepreneurs get their companies off to a fast start to profits.

His own company has generated millions in revenue over the years, mostly through joint ventures.

Now Mr. Letourneau would like to share with other business owners for the first time ever, his complete system to generate massive profit through the #1 marketing tool in existence today --- joint ventures.

"What I discovered is that the system for an entrepreneur to really articulate, execute, and successfully implement a joint venture was missing. There hasn't been an A to Z Blue Print Joint Venture System in existence (at least, not to my standards) until now!" says Mr. Letourneau.

"As you may know, 95% of business owners fail within 5 years, and only 4% of those left standing make it past 10 years in business. In today's economy it is so important for the small business owner to leverage "OPM" (other people's money). That, with the two other "O's" --- OPR (other people's resources) and OPC (other people's customers) --- propels the awesome financial power of joint ventures," says Mr. Letourneau.

Whether it's for a start-up business owner, home-based entrepreneur, seasoned company stuck at a plateau, or a multimillion dollar company looking to swallow up market shares…it's a unique golden opportunity in our financial history to learn several life changing strategies and distinctions in Las Vegas Nevada on January 29 - 31st.

The good news is that the time is ripe to Master True Leverage for Maximum Profits™ . The method is there for the taking! Investing a bit of time in this phenomenal hands-on "boot camp" event, and learn to forever capture a workable, streamlined system for the most powerful marketing tool in existence today -- joint ventures!

Network’s high-energy members lead to jump in business activity - NJBIZ

Posted: 11 Jan 2010 07:37 AM PST

The construction industry is in a deep recession, but Andy Snyder just finished a $3.5 million renovation of a 30,000-square-foot office building. That job was one of many steered his way by fellow members of the Garden State Business Network, an independent networking group that values long-term business relationships.

As head of the New Jersey division of New York-based general contractor Sweet Construction, Snyder never stops hunting for his next job. And the 23 members of GSBN "are an extended set of ears, listening for me," he said. "They have helped me stay in business when a lot of other construction companies have shut down."

About half his jobs in the past year came via GSBN members, each of whom brings dozens of business and personal relationships to the table. Casting a wide networking net is the key to survival in a recession, Snyder said, because even when economic activity seems at a virtual standstill, "you still have to go out and find the work."

Martin Rubin, a principal of Linden-based printing company SpectraMedia, co-founded GSBN 10 years ago because he wanted a networking experience that went deeper than coffee, conversation and a pocket full of business cards.

Rubin had belonged to networking and lead-exchange groups that met weekly; GSBN holds only one breakfast meeting per month, at the Park Avenue Club, in Florham Park. Annual dues are $1,000. It is between those monthly meetings that the real work gets done: GSBN members are expected to visit each other's facilities and become so familiar with their operations that they feel comfortable recommending GSBN members to friends and associates.

GSBN is similar to other lead groups, such as LeTip, in that each member of the group is in a different business or industry; members do not encounter their competitors around the table.

Christopher Galati, senior account executive for telecommunications services provider Cortel Business Solutions, said when he joined GSBN four years ago, "I was impressed that new members go through a true interview process, to make sure you are a good fit." His fellow members "are not just business associates and resources — they are my friends, people I enjoy being with and who I really like to help."

Financial planner Gabor Nagy, who heads the Mendham office of International Planning Alliance, is the president of GSBN's six-person board. GSBN doesn't keep score to make sure members are generating a quota of business leads, but Nagy said the group has voted out members who weren't putting in enough energy.

Rubin said GSBN wants to recruit more women, and has openings for a variety of fields, including travel agent, architect, advertising executive, trucking, moving and storage, and corporate psychologist.
