New ATI Landing Pad Company V-Chain Solutions to Expand Its Business in Austin

/in , /by

Austin, Texas (PRWEB) September 12, 2011

The Austin Technology Incubator (ATI), a not-for-profit unit of The University of Texas at Austin, has selected V-Chain Solutions, an emerging enterprise technology provider of Supply Chain Execution & Analytics solutions, for its Landing Pad Program. V-Chain will be working with the University of Texas at Austin Artificial Intelligence department to roll out a revolutionary technology called Swift Response, which enables companies to automatically pinpoint the root problem areas within the supply chain operation before they become disruptions to the business.

ATI’s Landing Pad Program supports early stage technology companies by leveraging ATI’s network and community insight to accelerate a company’s acculturation into Austin’s ecosystem. V-Chain Solutions is a Supply Chain Execution & Analytics Technology provider who enables companies to run more efficiently and respond faster to changing conditions in the marketplace. Its new corporate headquarters in Austin is the fourth V-Chain location, with additional offices in San Francisco, Atlanta and Dallas. Austin’s leading tech environment and rich entrepreneurial community first led V-Chain Solutions to the flourishing Central Texas area, as well as the opportunity to work with ATI and UT Austins Artificial Intelligence department.

“We are excited about the opportunity to work with ATI and the University of Texas at Austin. I have made Austin my new home and I look forward to bringing more tech jobs to the Austin community, said James Vinson, President of V-Chain Solutions.

Swift Response consolidates the transactional activities from multiple supply chain systems, enabling companies to have a single environment where they plan, execute, analyze and communicate across their entire supply chain, while increasing productivity by 200%. The technology blends with existing supply chain systems and is non-disruptive to the operation. Swift Response analyzes every supply chain transaction, which drives real time compliance.

The Swift Response technology has received numerous awards in its early stages: the 2010 Concept to Reality Award, the 2011 Georgia Bowl Business Plan Competition, and the 2011 Global Venture Labs Outstanding Market Award.

V-Chain is currently seeking development partners and early stage adopters to pilot the Swift Response solution. The Swift Response Technology is available to medium to large enterprises that use two or more transactional-based systems to drive their supply chain operations.

We are thrilled to welcome V-Chain Solutions to ATI as a new Landing Pad company. We look forward to helping them grow their business and providing them with networking opportunities with local tech entrepreneurs, venture capital investors, UT Austin researchers, and potential customers, said ATI IT Portfolio Director Robert Reeves.

James Vinson will be speaking at the Sales and Operations Planning Conference in Boston September 15th and 16th (http://www.theiegroup.com/SOP_Boston/Overview.html) and the Demand Planning Conference in San Francisco at the 3:30pm session on September 19th (http://www.altamont-group.com/event_brochure/BusinessForecasting2011.pdf).

Copywriting And Marketing Firm Copy With Results, LLC and Sandi Krakowski Expand Into Social Media Marketing

/in /by


Pierceton, IN (PRWEB) February 13, 2010

Internationally sought after Online Marketer and Copywriting firm Copy With Results, LLC expanded their business operation with new marketing packages that are geared for businesses needing more Social Media Interaction.

It’s no secret that Twitter and Facebook are now being widely used by small and large businesses alike. But a consistent Social Media marketing plan is what brings in more repeat clients and builds better rapport in an online environment.

Copy With Results, LLC located in Indiana has been serving clients and successfully operating businesses online for the last 14 years. CEO Sandi Krakowski is a working mom who had a dream of being able to stay at home and make a substantial profit. Through business success and loss she’s now known as the “Go To” Internet Cop when it comes to finding out what works and what doesn’t online.

Nina Hershberger stated of her recent work done with Sandi, “”Wow Sandi! You are FAR more than just a copywriter but a Marketer, Go To Person and everything in between!” Nina Hershberger, MegaBucksMarketing.com, Featured by Bill Glazer

The internet can be a frustrating thing for a company seeking to expand without emptying their wallets. With experience in copywriting, marketing, online branding, internet sales, social media marketing and more Copy With Results, LLC brings to the forefront solutions for today’s business owner.

Google constantly changes, Facebook is now the most trafficked site on the entire internet only being outpaced by Google. It can be a jungle online if you aren’t sure what to do first and what to implement for bigger returns.

Gone are the days when PPC advertising (pay per click) is king. Many online businesses are finding that Organic Traffic created with a company website and social media far outpaces expenses previously spent on PPC campaigns.

Krakowski states, “We did a recent Keyword Research for a client and found their competitors were spending over $ 67,000 per month on PPC in 2009 and were now spending only $ 1,800 per month on PPC. Their enormous increase in sales and traffic was coming through social media. That directed a plan for our client which implemented social media, blogging and other online resources all of which had no financial outlay, just the time involved maintaining it. This is a whole new world in marketing online.”

Recently featured in the fastest growing online community for Moms in Business, WorkingMomsOnly.com by CEO Mary Ellen Tribby, Copy With Results is featured as a top resource for business moms who need top service.
