AOR Technology Announces New Social Media Strategies for Employee Benefit Professionals


Austin, TX (PRWEB) April 18, 2013

The question of whether or not to engage in social media in a heavily referral-based industry like employee benefit consulting is always a challenge for business owners. The fact that a website is not intended for online sales makes firms question the true need for social media like Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter. Now, AOR Technology is releasing a new solution that takes the guesswork out of this decision and handles the entire process so the client is free to focus on their core business.

Benefit agencies can effectively utilize social media in a variety of ways when they understand that value lies in constant and effective communication that creates new and stronger relationships. Effective campaigns often include a large net of resources put together to engage clients and prospects from the website, social media, blogging, email campaigns and SEO work behind the scenes. AOR Technology includes all of these services in its new eMarketing package, which is now available to its clients.

An example of the kind of behind-the-scenes knowledge and services AOR Technology provides is found in the following tip: An easy way to understand how your website and business can benefit from these solutions is to relate it to getting found on the Internet when someone does a Google search. Being found on the first page of Google is very much a popularity contest that requires regular and deliberate steps that gets Google’s attention and wins brownie points with time. Having a social media account like Facebook does not in itself win points, the golden number is having a Facebook page with at least 75 “Likes”. At this point, Google recognizes you are an established company with real followers and not just a garage business with close friends and family as its only followers!

Benefit agencies can leverage these tools to effectively communicate healthcare reform, changes in benefit options, and more if they have a strategy and understand why they have these solutions in the first place. And AOR Technology’s eMarketing package can help this process.

AOR Technology is a leading benefits technology firm that only works with employee benefit and P&C professionals to help them make sense of these tools and how they relate to our unique and changing industry. “Many agencies worry so much about not being power users at social media but forget you need to take the small but very important steps first,” says Jeff Hill, CEO, AOR Technology. “Making sure your company website is impactful and easy to navigate is the first step…everything you do with social media feeds your website, so make sure it’s solid!” To accomplish this, utilize various resources like crowd-sourcing for site design, content writing support, and guidance on benefits technology – all key services provided by AOR Technology.

Kickstarter Project Update: Lumi Wine Wall Announces its Wireless Feature to its Upcycled Illuminated Moduluar Wine Wall


Healdsburg, CA (PRWEB) April 25, 2013

Dale Rorabaugh, the creator of the Lumi Wine Wall, has announced the addition of battery power for the wine wall system. Featuring a contemporary design, the upcycled wine wall system also now allows the user to choose between a 12V wall transformer and alkaline or rechargeable batteries for each stave. Each battery box is located on the back of the stave bottom with a convenient on/off switch for operation. The illumination feature is what makes the Lumi Wine Wall stand out from the rest.

Designed to accommodate small or large spaces for homes, restaurants or wineries, the Lumi Wine Wall will fit any decor whether contemporary or traditional. The Lumi Wine Wall has been upcycled from American and French oak wine barrels. It is modularly built and can be used in units from one to six with each stave holding seven bottles. Twenty-four Super Bright LED lights used to illuminate each stave are energy-efficient saving electricity. Angle-specific holes drilled into each stave hold the wine bottles. Each wooden piece is finished using a custom Danish oil to season the wood. An aircraft-grade anodized aluminum heavy-duty bar backs the modules. All staves are then finished with a custom Danish oil.

The recently launched Kickstarter crowd-source funding campaign will earn the capital for the project. Between five and 10 workers in Healdsburg area are expected to be employed this spring. Their goal is to raise $ 15,000 to help offset the product development and bring the product to market faster than otherwise possible.

In addition, the company adheres to a “green philosophy” that includes upcycled materials, composting the sawdust, handcrafting, recycling packaging and reducing office and advertising paper.

About Dale Rorabaugh

Dale has a long history of bringing innovative instrumentation to market with over 20 years designing and building products. He has 22 years in the medical, dental and instrumentation fields and has been awarded several major patents as well as patents pending. Dale also has extensive experience in manufacturing producing over 15,000 instruments of various kinds.

CapLinked Announces New Investors

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) November 21, 2013

CapLinked (https://caplinked.com), the cloud-based platform that makes business transactions simple and secure, announced today that it had closed investments from Subtraction Capital, FF Angel, 500 Startups, and other investors in a $ 1 million expansion round. CapLinked’s software-as-a-service product gives companies a powerful and customizable solution for managing complex, sensitive interactions such as asset sales, financings, and mergers.

The company previously announced the close of its Series A round in the first quarter this year, at which time it had raised $ 3 million in total financing. 500 Startups and FF Angel (an early-stage fund operated by Founders Fund) both previously invested in CapLinked, as did Jason Portnoy, the founding partner of Subtraction Capital.

“We believe that CapLinked’s flexible and user-friendly software has the potential to revolutionize collaboration on deals and sensitive projects,” said Founders Fund partner Peter Thiel. “Legacy software can’t provide businesses with the custom workflow enhancements they need, which creates a huge opportunity for technology innovators like CapLinked. Their next-generation deal management platform simplifies collaboration and speeds up the execution of complex business transactions.”

The financing announcement comes at a time that CapLinked continues to grow rapidly. Last week, the company announced that it had been selected by business-broker Sunbelt Network as the deal management platform for Sunbelt’s nearly 100 offices nationwide. Earlier this month, CapLinked announced several new financial services clients, including alternative investment firm Kayne Anderson Capital Advisors. This builds on the momentum the company has displayed since exiting beta at the start of 2013. Previously disclosed clients include Thomson Reuters, Sun Capital, NextView Ventures, Edwards Lifesciences, Draper and Kramer, and Proprietary Capital.

Founded in 2010 by Eric M. Jackson (PayPal’s first U.S. marketing director) and Christopher Grey (a private equity executive), CapLinked enables its users to communicate and exchange data in a secure and confidential environment, complete with flexible permission controls and powerful activity reports. Its platform provides a modern and customizable alternative to the legacy technology of the 1990s – including virtual data rooms (VDRs), email, flash drives, and FTP – that are frequently used by businesses to manage deals and sensitive projects.

“As a new venture capital fund, we wanted to take advantage of the best tools on the market to help us run our business,” said Subtraction Capital partner Jason Portnoy, whose fund uses CapLinked to manage its investor communications. “CapLinked understands that optimizing the user experience is critical for software-as-a-service, and this vision has enabled them to build a powerful yet elegant platform. As funds, corporations, and banks seek out new tools to collaborate on transactions, CapLinked is poised to become the gold standard.”

About CapLinked

CapLinked is a cloud-based enterprise platform that accelerates the execution of sophisticated business transactions. CapLinked is used by companies for managing mergers, financings, asset sales, investor reporting, and due diligence. The company was founded in 2010 by Eric M.

Its investors include FF Angel, Subtraction Capital, 500 Startups, Hercules Growth Fund, and Peter Thiel (the cofounder of PayPal). The Wall Street Journal called CapLinked “the go-to place for setting up and closing deals,” and Inc. named CapLinked to its list of “5 Back-Office Tech Innovations.” The company is based in Los Angeles.

Medical Device Manufacturing Engineers Realizing Effectiveness of a New Plastics Fabrication Technology Announces Envision Plastics


White Bear Lake, MN (PRWEB) November 19, 2013

After looking at the wide array of products Envision Plastics custom manufactures, one can easily see that the NMR plastic fabrication technology reaches many markets and industries. However, the realm of medical device manufacturing stands out as a market who has embraced this niche product and service offering from Envision Plastics time and time again.

Customers from all over the United States and Canada have used the No Molds Required Technology for their custom plastic enclosure needs with respect to their medical device cases, frames, panels, or displays. Within the medical device industry, many specialty areas have implemented NMR produced items. These include: ultrasound, MR, wound therapy, pharmaceutical packaging, cardiovascular, and even dental. The medical device manufacturers in these areas are both small start-ups using venture capital funding as well as Fortune 500 firms including Boston Scientific, St. Jude Medical, Medtronic, and GE Medical Systems.

Despite typical production volumes being low (which fits the NMR niche market well), orders are consistent and often repeat. Not only do the specific part orders for enclosures repeat, but the technology is utilized again and again by developers at these medical device firms. Some firms have developed dozens of different plastic medical enclosures over the span of a decade – proving just how well NMR has been received in the medical industry. Sure, some medical device manufactures have large budgets for hard goods and R&D. However, saving up to $ 250,000 on a mold by using NMR Technology can make any project come in under budget!
