Alzheimer’s Patient Tracking Can Increase Longevity and Decrease Healthcare Costs

ATLANTA, Feb. 2, 2012 /PRNewswire/

Omnilink Systems (www.omnilink.com), a leader in location-based services (LBS) technology today noted that its Chief Development Officer, Steve Hudson, is speaking at the M2M Evolution Conference hosted by TMC on February 1 & 2 in Miami, Florida. Hudson will speak at the conference session “Remote Patient Care: No Longer Out of Sight or Out of Mind,” scheduled from 2:30 PM to 3:15 PM on February 1st, which will describe the capabilities of current remote Alzheimer’s patient tracking technologies. During the session, Hudson will spotlight ComfortZone and Comfort Zone Check-In—two tracking solutions created by Omnilink in partnership with the Alzheimer’s Association and Sprint.

An estimated 5.4 million people have Alzheimer’s disease, which results in $183 billion in annual costs, according to the Alzheimer’s Association. Caring for those with Alzheimer’s is difficult—because individuals often become confused and wander—and 50% of people with Alzheimer’s or dementia who wander will suffer serious injury or death if not found within 24 hours. By consistently monitoring the patient’s location, remote health care systems have the potential to stop wandering once it begins, increase patient safety and longevity, and decrease healthcare costs.

“It’s critical that we educate people about the life-saving personal tracking solutions mobile brings to market,” said Hudson. “Location-based services experts like Omnilink, and nationwide wireless networks have combined to produce advanced, end-to-end tools that can help protect individuals with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia.”

A telecommunications veteran and architect of Sprint’s location-based services business plan, Steve Hudson has worked in industry leadership positions for two decades. He is a frequent speaker at industry conferences and content contributor for the media. As Omnilink’s Chief Development Officer, Hudson expands global distribution, product portfolio, and solutions capabilities through business partnerships with wireless carriers, device manufacturers, systems integrators, software vendors, and private enterprises.

Brookfield, WI /24-7PressRelease/

BROOKFIELD, WI, January 25, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ — On Friday, January 27, Concurrency and Microsoft Corporation are teaming up to offer the Milwaukee business community insight into best-practice Microsoft marketing automation and web content management techniques. This educational event is part of Concurrency’s ongoing series of hands-on sessions that highlight cutting-edge technology designed to boost business productivity.

Concurrency and Microsoft will demonstrate how to use Microsoft’s Dynamics CRM 2011 capabilities to manage both sales and marketing across varied media. This new tool set revolutionizes how companies can measure–and, therefore, effectively manage–an inbound marketing strategy that connects brands to potential customers by offering targets valuable content, engaging with them in social media, and seeking over time to convert these potential customers into sales leads.

Presenters will also highlight integration of the low-cost but powerful third-party product ClickDimensions, for tracking online advertising. ClickDimensions can be tightly integrated with Dynamics CRM 2011 for single-source collection of data from all marketing media and channels into one centralized source of data for marketing and sales managers. Companies taking this integrated approach to sales and marketing find the lead qualification process is improved.

Said Concurrency CEO James Savage, “In this economy, companies can’t simply get the job done–they have to get the job done intelligently. In the marketing discipline, that means having tightly integrated software tools to manage disparate aspects of the marketing process–rather than struggling with platforms for sales and marketing that don’t talk to each other. Without that integration, companies often end up with expensive CRM systems that don’t get used.”

As Microsoft’s Midwest Region Partner of the Year, Concurrency has special expertise in cutting-edge tools for marketing automation including SharePoint For-Internet-Sites (FIS) and Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011. In addition to also highlighting ClickDimensions, the educational program will cover approaches to search-engine optimization.

The program runs from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. on Friday, January 27, 2012 and will be held at Microsoft’s Waukesha facility. Local business and technology managers are invited to register for the event at Microsoft marketing automation Event Registration page.

The program is tailored for an audience of business and marketing executives, as well as systems architects and IT professionals.

“Integrating Limos.com with the Orbitz for Business booking environment is not only a perfect fit, it’s a partnership that will help customers realize significant savings on ground transportation,” said T.J. Clark, president and CEO of Limos.com. “Business travelers often need a heightened level of convenience, service and flexibility when it comes to private car transportation, but they also need to stay within a defined travel budget. Limos.com offers those travelers seamless access to private cars at specially-negotiated rates and provides policy controls, all of which make private car transportation a much more convenient and cost-effective proposition.”

“We’ve enjoyed tremendous year-over-year growth and our experience working with companies like DigiTalk to bring advanced capabilities to their customers is an important part of our strategy,” said Wain Kellum, CEO at Vocalocity. “Our scale allows us to build more capabilities into our communications platform that makes the phone system work harder for our customers.

Atlanta, Georgia (PRWEB) January 06, 2012

Vocalocity, the leading cloud-based phone service for small business, today announced its Vocalocity Desktop solution was selected as an INTERNET TELEPHONY magazine Product of the Year. The selection caps a phenomenal year of growth and accolades for the only VoIP communications provider devoted solely to small businesses and startups.

INTERNET TELEPHONY annually recognizes the most innovative products by bestowing its esteemed Product of the Year Award to the most deserving companies. Magazine editors honor IP communications solutions that demonstrate vision, leadership and attention to detail.

“I am happy to grant Vocalocity with a Product of the Year Award. The editors of INTERNET TELEPHONY have verified that Vocalocity Desktop displays quality and innovation plus provides real needs in the marketplace,” stated Rich Tehrani, CEO of TMC. “I would like to congratulate the entire team at Vocalocity for their commitment to advancing IP communication technologies.”

The tools of the Vocalocity Desktop help small businesses gain intelligence about their customers quickly by automatically pulling crucial information from an incoming caller. Vocalocity Desktop comes configured with free LinkedIn, Google Search, and Caller Locator plug-ins. Once downloaded, Vocalocity Desktop runs in the background on a Vocalocity customer’s computer. When an incoming call is registered, Vocalocity Desktop will automatically display information about a caller which is populated through the application’s various plug-ins. Vocalocity customers can instantly see a caller’s approximate location based on area code, the weather in that location, the caller’s information from Google, and his or her LinkedIn profile.

Vocalocity Desktop was one of many innovations announced last year including apps that allow Android and iOS devices to have command and control over the office phone system. Plug-ins like Microsoft Dynamics that extend large enterprise CRM functions to a small business environment are also available.

“Since our inception, we’ve had a vision to become the best communications provider to small business,” says Wain Kellum, CEO at Vocalocity. “This latest accolade from INTERNET TELEPHONY magazine is definitely a milestone toward reaching our vision and a testament to a very hard working and innovative team. We are enjoying the acknowledgement but realize the best is yet to come.”

In addition to receiving INTERNET TELEPHONY’s Product of the Year for 2011, Vocalocity was also recognized on the Deloitte Technology Fast 500 – recognizing the fastest growing technology companies in the U.S. For the second year in a row, Vocalocity also earned a position on the Inc. 5000, an exclusive ranking of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies.
