Pricing Engine Launches the First Solution for Small Businesses to Create, Manage and Optimize Online Advertising from a Single Platform

New York, NY (PRWEB) March 15, 2013

Pricing Engine, http://www.pricingengine.com, today announced the launch of an easy-to-use but powerful platform for online advertising that levels the playing field for small business owners looking to significantly improve the performance of their ad dollars. The Pricing Engine platform is available now for optimizing multichannel search marketing campaigns, with tools for display media, social media advertising and e-commerce coming later this year.

Pricing Engine was founded by CEO Jeremy Kagan, formerly a Vice President with the Global Digital Business of Sony Music Entertainment, and Vice President of Strategy at digital agency Publicis Modem, and Chief Technology Officer Yagmur Coker, former Lead Technologist for The Knot. Kagan, also a long-time adjunct professor of digital marketing at Columbia Business School, recognized the need for a simple tool for the smaller advertiser after years of consulting and agency work with clients of all sizes.

“The vast majority of small business owners are either too busy running their operations to effectively manage their online advertising campaigns, or can’t afford optimization platforms used by the Fortune 500 – or both,” said Kagan. “Because of this, we saw a clear need in the marketplace for a solution that allows small businesses to improve their ad performance in a simple, efficient and unified manner. Pricing Engine gives small business owners a decided edge in terms of their ability to get more sales and leads through digital advertising.”

Pricing Engine is a game-changer for small business owners lacking the time, resources or expertise to improve their search marketing and digital advertising performance. It uses patent-pending, data-based algorithms and predictive analytics to provide recommendations in plain English – not ad tech jargon – on what works, what doesn’t and how to improve.

Pricing Engine’s benchmarks are based on anonymous data crowd-sourced from peer businesses via advertising channels like Google and Microsoft. It compares a business’s ad performance against peers based on a number of user-selected parameters such as type of business, industry, geography and advertising budget. Pricing Engine provides a letter grade of performance in key areas, as well as recommended improvements – including use of keywords and ad copy – and critically, the estimated dollar value of an improvement in terms of sales or leads. Diagnostic tools designed for different business types ensure common mistakes are quickly identified and fixed.

Pricing Engine employs machine learning to refine and improve results. The system gets “smarter” over time based on the volume of data available, and on campaign performance across the various combinations of selection criteria.

During its beta period, the company has signed up hundreds of small business owners who have used the system and suggested enhancements. To accelerate the process, Pricing Engine is working with resellers in a number of industries to reach small businesses. To date it has signed reseller partners with access to more than 500,000 U.S. small business owners and will be rolling out the system with its partners across the country in the coming months.

Now Pricing Engine is being released to the general public, with a powerful yet simple dashboard that allows users to both create and manage search campaigns simultaneously across Google, Yahoo and Bing. Campaigns can be created once and deployed everywhere with changes to improve performance pushed out to all channels at the same time – making management easy and fast.

Over the next few months, enhancements will be added to the Pricing Engine platform for display advertising (Google Display and LiveIntent, among other channels), social media marketing (Facebook, LinkedIn, and others) and e-commerce (Amazon Product Ads and Google Shopping, among other channels).

About Pricing Engine

Pricing Engine is the first solution that provides small business owners access to a single, easy-to-use platform that lets them optimize their investment in online advertising across various channels without being digital media experts or expending resources they don’t have. Its “report card” feature assigns a letter grade on ad performance, based on benchmarking using variables like geography, type of business and budget, and tells users in plain English how they can improve their results. Pricing Engine’s patent-pending, powerful algorithm-based predictive analytics continually refine and improve ad performance. Now available to optimize search advertising campaigns for small businesses, the platform will soon be expanded to include tools for improving display advertising, social media marketing and e-commerce results as well.

Systemates Inc. Presents on the Pros of a Project Management Solution When Utilizing Integrated Project Delivery


Richardson, TX (PRWEB) November 14, 2013

Mike Zamora, Sr. Solutions Architect, of Systemates Inc., recently presented at the Construction Management Association of America National Conference. Construction managers across the country gathered at the Aria Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada on October 27-29 for the CMAA National Conference and Trade Show. Zamora’s speech focused on the importance of having a collaborative construction project management solution when utilizing Integrated Project Delivery methodology.

One of the main topics of conversation was around selecting and implementing project management software early in the process instead of relying on an external solution your architect or contractor may already have in place. By finding and implementing a project management solution early on, owners can avoid the unnecessary finger pointing and operate from one version of the truth. Essentially, this will provide owners with views of the bigger picture and allow for more informed decision making.

Integrated Project Delivery is designed for team building and collaboration early on in the project. Its goal is to unite the team in an environment that is efficient and allows for a more successful project. The same can be said for a project management solution. When a PM solution is selected earlier on in the life of a project, the more successful the project will be.

Zamora will also present this speech at the CMAA North Texas Chapter meeting later this year.

SavvyDox Launches Game-Changing, Mobile Document Management Solution


Ottawa, ON (PRWEB) June 11, 2013

SavvyDox today announced the first commercial release of a cloud-based, mobile document management solution, SavvyDox 1.0. – a product that transforms tablet document interaction.

SavvyDox transforms tablet document interaction from primarily one of serial reading and consumption to one that provides the tablet device user with a new level of intelligent interaction with documents including highlighting revisions at the word and paragraph level, version sensitivity, changed content navigation, interaction with peer recipients and authors, shared annotations, and active and dynamic content.

SavvyDox solves tablet document management issues for enterprises, government and publishers, all within an enterprise grade, private, hybrid or public cloud based secure infrastructure. It is an elegant solution for anyone requiring always-on, always up-to-date, mobile access to revised document details.

The application is available from the App Store and the Windows Store and operates in conjunction with a server-based license available from SavvyDox.

“Our product highlights revisions at the bottom of the document with distinctive thumbnails – icons that resemble a page and identify where the revisions are in the document. Instead of reading the whole document you just tap on the page thumbnail and it takes you right to the exact location of the revision. No other product in this market segment does that,” said Hans Downer, President and CEO of SavvyDox.

SavvyDox supports “collaborative review” – parallel document review and comments from several recipients on a team improving synergy in the review process. In this mode, the author retains “ownership of the pen”, which allows only that person to modify the document. The author is also provided with analytic compliance reports identifying which recipients have read which pages of a document based on an author-supplied parameter.

During testing, users with iPad-based readers were fully productive within ten minutes of viewing a short training video. Testing also proved that the application integrates easily into the business environment since it accepts documents from MS Word, MS PowerPoint, or any document in PDF format.

The 30-person team testing the solution in California published 150 documents with over 250 revisions in a three-month period. The project team improved overall productivity since they no longer needed a 10-15 minute project review to bring everyone up to speed on the current plan.

In the Ottawa pilot, the national health care group entered over 300 comments on one 540-page document during a three-week period.

SavvyDox has confirmed a first order from a large Canadian systems integrator in early May and more recently a follow up order from a California county government. The systems integrator will use the solution to provide differentiated services to their clients on major projects in two other county governments in California and two large projects with another state government.

The solution had been in beta test since January 2013. A second pilot started in April of this year with a national healthcare group based in Ottawa, Ontario.

“We’re very pleased with the progress of the solution and the feedback from customers and investors. Our pilot customers have been extremely positive in their comments about how our product has addressed their business needs”, Downer said.

SavvyDox has raised a total of $ 1.25 million to date from Canadian Angel Investors and has received approval for a Canadian Federal Government loan of up to $ 1 million based on the amount of Angel investing received. SavvyDox just opened their third funding round of $ 625,000, which is expected to close quickly.

About SavvyDox

Founded in 2011, SavvyDox Inc. provides innovative mobile document solutions for tablet devices. Targeting businesses, enterprises and government organizations around the world, our focus is on building products and solutions to resolve unmet client needs in tablet document interaction, publishing and management.

BP Oil Spill – Crowd Sourcing to Find the Solution – Weeding Through the Suggestions

Interestingly enough, there is something BP can do with all these suggestions, and it would be good to get out ahead of the negativity in the media and their trashing of BP’s Brand Name. Let’s face it there are nearly 50,000 wells in the Gulf of Mexico and it supplies almost 30% of our US oil – we can’t just turn it off.

Here is my suggestion to the challenge British Petroleum has when it comes to what to do with 1,000s and 1,000s of suggestion tips which have been coming in non-stop to its tip hotline. What BP needs to do is to borrow some help from the online community and use “Crowd Sourcing” techniques, those like DARPA recently used when it “Challenged” everyone to find the “Red Balloons” 10-of them which were scattered around the country. MIT found all ten, in an extremely short time.

This strategy makes sense for DARPA as it could someday be used for military purposes, such as it could be used to look at satellite photos of Iran to find anomalies, nuclear facilities. It also has potential space applications with NASA – finding locations on Mars that might have ice or water, potential landing sites, maybe even surveying galaxies to find similar exo-planets to Earth, which might contain life, etc.

What I am saying is that British Petroleum should post ALL of the suggestions online, put it out there, as it shows transparency and it is a good PR move too. Something Congress is afraid to do with the bills it passes. This will allow independent teams to work through those lists of suggestions and citizens to “rate” the ideas. Then teams can whittle all the ideas down, find duplicates, and see if the “wisdom of the crowd” prevails and finds consensus on various types of solutions.

Let’s help BP find the best ideas and when this is completed give out prizes to the winners.

The ideas that win, go ahead and give 5-scholarships to MIT, or a top engineering school. Perhaps, give $ 100,000 seed money for any innovative project that the team with the best idea, might like to do. Why not turn an unfortunate situation into a positive one. Rather than playing all the doom and gloom in the media with screaming environmentalists, or any mean-spirited person the media can drum up for a sound bite, we can make some progress on potential future solutions in case the present solutions don’t work out.
