Online Reputation Management Firm JW Maxx Solutions to Exhibit at ARDA Conference 2013

/in , /by


Scottsdale, Arizona (PRWEB) March 11, 2013

The ARDA (American Resort Development Association) conference is the foremost annual gathering for timeshare experts around the world. Over three-thousand attendees from over thirty-five countries will meet in Hollywood, Florida through April seventh and the eleventh. The Conference presents key opportunities to connect with professionals from hundreds of companies, and attending the event is the most comprehensive way to stay up to speed on the latest trends and best industry-relevant practices. There are more than forty educational panels dealing with a full spectrum of the industry’s top products.

Online reputation management leader, JW Maxx Solutions, plans on attending the conference in April. JW Maxx Solutions specializes in assisting resorts in keeping their online reputation in check. Because there are so many websites that collect rating through crowd-sourcing, it has become a dirty practice that businesses or individuals will attempt to tarnish the reputation of another business or individual by leaving illegitimate claims, or downright false information, on resort ratings websites. JW Maxx Solutions can step in and help a business suffering from negative online publicity, recover their online presence.

As more and more business is done online, it is increasingly common for an individual to Google search a company, resort, or individual, before conducting business with them. Many business owners or individuals might never have thought of “Googling” themselves before, just to see what the results are. The lack of online awareness can lead to catastrophe, if not handled properly.

“Many companies don’t even bother to search for themselves until it’s too late,” says Walter Halicki, founder and CEO of JW Maxx Solutions. “The Internet just isn’t a big part of their market strategy. Even huge, multinational corporations fall victim.”

Falling victim often results in loss of customer trust, which leads to decreased profits all across the boards. It is imperative that a business, resort, or individual, take proper care of their online reputation management before things get too out of hand.

How an online reputation management firm works is that it identifies websites, posts, or social media activity that is harmful to a client, and then will remove or downplay the strength the targeted material has within the Google search results. Working with a company like JW Maxx Solutions will help a company stabilize their unsteady online presence, or simply reinforce their already existing positive presence for the future. With a positive online presence a business gains customer trust and this goes a long way to building customer loyalty in the long run.

Throughout 2013 JW Maxx Solutions is offering free consultation to clients interested in taking control of their online reputation management. Look for online reputation management firm, JW Maxx Solutions at the ARDA Conference 2013 at booth 112, next month.

Clinovo Presents Next Generation Cloud-based eClinical System at Venture Capital Conference

/in , /by


Sunnyvale, CA (PRWEB) February 05, 2014

Clinovo is a technology focused Contract Research Organization (CRO) headquartered in Sunnyvale, CA. Clinovo is seeking funds to launch CloudClinica, a disruptive cloud-based platform for clinical trials. Ale Gicqueau, President & CEO at Clinovo, will present his vision and strategy for CloudClinica to venture capitalists at the 30th Annual Investors Choice Venture Capital Conference. The event will be held on Thursday, February 6th in Salt Lake City, Utah.

The Annual Investors Choice Venture Capital Conference is organized by the Wayne Brown Institute (WBI). Venture capitalists from all over the United States will convene to learn about the best and brightest emerging IT and life science companies. In the last six years, technology start-ups that have gone through the Wayne Brown Institute (WBI) process have raised more than $ 632 million dollars in angel and venture capital. Clinovo will present CloudClinica among twenty innovative companies from the high-tech, life-science and clean-tech sectors.

CloudClinica is Clinovo’s next generation Cloud-based eClinical platform. CloudClinica is an easy-to-use, pay-as-you-go platform to build and manage clinical studies from the ground up without any programming skills. CloudClinica will remove IT dependency and allow small companies to access sophisticated eClinical systems. CloudClinica will bring an average 80% savings from existing solutions while meeting regulatory compliance requirements. Until today, the adoption of eClinical systems like EDC (Electronic Data Capture) has remained slow in some segments of clinical research. Only 40% of Phase I clinical trials had adopted EDC by the end of 2012. CloudClinica will broaden the use of eClinical systems and empower biotech, pharmaceutical, medical device, and diagnostic companies.

Clinovo is a pioneer in the field of eClinical systems with its advanced open source Electronic Data Capture (EDC) system ClinCapture. ClinCapture has been deployed in phase I to phase IV clinical studies, for pharmaceutical, medical device, diagnostic companies, and CROs. ClinCapture already features an integrated eClinical suite of modules, including easy-to-use randomization, ePRO (Patient Reported Outcomes), CTMS (Clinical Trials Management System), and offline data entry. Clinovo recently unveiled its new medical coding module at the Outsourcing in Clinical Trials West Coast Conference in Burlingame, CA, greatly improving clinical data consistency and interoperability.

Lean Kanban North America Finalizes Speaker Lineup for April Management Conference

/in , /by


Seattle, Washington (PRWEB) March 29, 2013

Lean Kanban North America 2013, part of the global conference series of the largest, highest quality Kanban events in the world, announces the final lineup of speakers for its management conference taking place April 28-May 2 in Chicago.

Organized by Lean-Kanban University (LKU), Lean Kanban North America is an international gathering of professionals who realize the value of Lean thinking. This year’s conference features the next wave of ideas on measurement, psychology of change, Kanban at scale, risk management, and core foundations of Kanban.

The event is for managers, developers, and change agents who value smart thinking, voracious learning, and constant improvement in the workplace. Attendees will meet and mingle with thought leaders, worldwide experts and Brickell Key Award winners who are the most-respected Lean and Kanban experts all sharing their knowledge under one roof.

Lean Kanban North America Keynote Speakers include:


    Bob Lewis, opening keynote and InfoWorld columnist, will convey why “Everything You Know Is Wrong.” This entertaining and thought-provoking talk explains what’s so disastrous about standard models for running IT organizations. Lewis presents a compelling alternative that won’t just drive better results, for IT and for the business it serves, but will make the job of leading and working in IT more satisfying and enjoyable as well.

    Douglas Hubbard, inventor of Applied Information Economics (AIE) and Chicago-based author of How to Measure Anything: Finding the Value of Intangibles in Business, will describe how it is possible to measure any “intangible,” to think of risk like an actuary, and how to look at investment portfolios from a risk/return point-of-view.

    Stephen Parry is an international leader and strategist on the creation of service enterprises that are adaptive, innovative and engaging. This presentation based on the most recent research from work psychology will provide counter intuitive insights into the ‘industrial management’ mind set, its impact on the design of work and management behaviors.

Lean Kanban North America will feature nine renowned authors on the Main Stage, plus more than 40 invited speakers on six tracks that include Economics & Risk; Kanban at Scale; Kanban Foundations; Psychology & Sociology; Simulation, Games & Measurement; and The Change Agent.

In addition to the main program, LKNA13 authors, speakers and thought leaders will lead full-day Lean Tutorials – one-day or two-day interactive classes designed to provide participants with practical, hands-on knowledge they can use right away on Lean projects.

Attendees will also enjoy an additional 18 presenters with LKNA’s exciting and unique crowd-sourced Ignite talks that will drive the Lean Kanban conversation forward.

Conferences in the Lean Kanban global series provide unique training presentations and focus on helping IT groups within organizations to lower risk and improve predictability of delivery.
