Granted for Process that Revolutionized Meetings Planning, Patent Underscores StarCite’s Leadership and Innovation in Meetings Management Technology
On Tuesday March 23, 2010, 1:00 pm EDT
PHILADELPHIA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--StarCite, Inc., the leading provider of Web-based solutions to strategically manage corporate meetings and events, announced today that it has been awarded U.S. Patent No. 7,523,385, entitled “System and Method for Enterprise Event Marketing and Management Automation” by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
This patent provides StarCite with exclusive rights to its automated attendee registration and management technology solution, which is a core element of StarCite’s industry-leading suite of strategic meetings management technologies.
“We’re energized by this development, which further underscores our position as the proven leader in meetings management technology and highlights the creativity and innovation that are central to the StarCite approach,” said Greg Dukat, chief executive officer, StarCite. “The issuance of this patent was an important milestone in an already successful 2009 for StarCite, a year in which StarCite also achieved new records for sales bookings and customer program expansions.”
Prior to the advent of StarCite’s attendee management automation platform, the process of managing attendees at corporate meetings required a significant amount of manual administration and data collection by meeting planners. StarCite’s patented attendee management and event marketing technology transformed the industry by streamlining this process. It enables meeting planners to, among other things, set up customizable registration pages for each meeting, ensures clear and transparent communication about activities, confirmations and logistics with meetings attendees, and captures all attendee data and preferences in an easily managed database for planners.

Acquirgy looks to grow, hires former St. Pete Beach commissioner
Tampa Bay Business Journal
Looking to expand its operations nationally, Acquirgy Inc. — formerly known as SendTec Inc. — has hired two vice presidents to lead the charge, including a former St. Pete Beach commissioner known for her stance in support of Amendment 4 through the Hometown Democracy group.
Linda Chaney, who spent 10 years as director of partnership marketing for HSN Inc. in the 1980s and 1990s, joins Mark McVey as vice president of business development.
Chaney was president of Madison Direct Inc. for 10 years after leaving HSN and later worked for the Multiple Sclerosis Association of America, Eckerd College and ePolitical Power, according to an online resume.
Since her two-year stint on the St. Pete Beach commission, Chaney has supported efforts by Hometown Democracy to allow voters instead of city and county governments to decide on comprehensive plan changes. Amendment 4, which requires 60 percent approval to pass, is on Florida’s November ballot.
McVey spent 20 years as president and creative director of McVey Creative Group, according to a release from Acquirgy. His clients included Honeywell, Varian Medical Systems and HSN.
SendTec became Acquirgy last August after PHIDS Inc., a Delaware company that said it specializes in search engine marketing and television services, purchased the company in the midst of a Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization for $2.7 million and a $500,000 promissory note.
Cross Atlantic Capital Partners and Internet Capital Group provided funding for the purchase of the direct marketing agency. Rating :

"Everest projects the PO market will grow in excess of 20 percent in 2010 and reach nearly US$1.3 billion in annual contract value (ACV) that represents a managed spend of nearly US$170 billion. End-of-term activity will pick up over the next three years involving a book of business valued at US$2.2 billion."
Daraus kann man für die drei Jahre 2011, 2012 und 2013 eine durchschnittliche jährliche Wachstumsrate von 19,2% errechnen. Für die Jahre bis 2013 ergeben sich dadurch folgende Schätzungen für das Marktvolumen:
2010: 1,3 Milliarden
2011: 1,55 Milliarden
2012: 1,85 Milliarden
2013: 2,1 Milliarden
Vor einiger Zeit hat ja aus der Euro am Sonntag zitiert: "Trotz deutlicher Kursanstieg notieren gelistete Private-Equity-Firmen im Schnitt 20 Prozent unter ihrem Netto-Inventar-Wert (Net Asset Value, NAV). In der Vergangenheit schnitten sie dann besser als der breite Aktienmarkt ab, wenn sie zuvor unterbewertet waren."
Man kann zwar Internet Capital nicht 100% mit diesen Firmen gleichsetzen, denn Internet Capital ist ein börsennotierter Wagnisfinanzierer im Inkubatorbereich, der im Gegensatz zu den meisten Private-Equity-Firmen fast mit 100% Eigenkapital arbeitet, aber die Unterbewertung ist trotz dieser krisenfesten Finanzierung sogar noch extremer.
Die letzten Kursanstiege haben den Börsenwert von Werten unter 40% lediglich auf Werte zwischen 40% und 45% des Net Asset Value angehoben.

Und das wird sich ausweiten, nciht dass Google schlecht wäre, aber Internet Capital ist nachwievor extrem unterbewertet.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- Shares of OpenTable Inc., which provides online restaurant reservations and guest management services for restaurants, rose sharply Wednesday after the company reported surprisingly good fourth-quarter results.
Citi Investment Research analyst Mark S. Mahaney said that while industry wide reservations are essentially flat year-over-year, OpenTable's reservations grew 40 percent.
"We continue to believe network effects and industry stabilization should drive continued growth acceleration in seatings and reservation revenues near term," he said.
He said OpenTable has a "significant" growth opportunity, since the company, which went public in May, only serves a single-digit percentage of U.S. restaurant reservations.
He reiterated his "Buy" rating on the stock and raised his price target to $38 from $35.
Shares rose $5.67, or 23 percent, to $30.66 during afternoon trading. The stock has traded between $24.04 and $35.50 since going public in May.
Quarterly profit totaled $3.1 million, or 13 cents per share, compared with a loss of $875,000, or 9 cents per share a year ago.
Revenue rose 32 percent to $19.2 million from $14.5 million last year.
During the quarter, subscription revenue rose 18 percent to $9.6 million, while reservation revenue rose 47 percent to $8.5 million.
For the year, profit totaled $5.1 million, or 22 cents per share, compared with a loss of $1 million, or 10 cents per share last year.
Revenue rose 23 percent to $68.6 million from $55.8 million last year.
The US Air Force gets Leaner with Metastorm

This week Infonomics, AIIM’s weekly newsletter, featured a podcast with recent guest blogger Brian Chaney, the Director of IT Strategy and Architecture for Copper River IT.
The podcast, “The USAF, Six Sigma, and BPM,” discusses how the US Air Force utilized Metastorm ProVision® and Metastorm BPM® to achieve a 200% increase in automation to gain more efficiency, productivity, and control.
According to Chaney, the project began when the Department of Defense (DoD) mandated that, in order for DoD organizations to continue receiving funding, their IT investments had to include an Enterprise Architecture (EA) tool.
As part of its new EA initiative, the US Air Force wanted to identify how its IT infrastructure was supporting its business processes, and how well the processes were performing in the supported environments. To meet the goals of an existing initiative, Air Force Smart Operations for the 21st Century (AFSO21), which aims to streamline processes and optimize resource consumption – the US Air Force also wanted to “Lean out” its business processes to do more with less.
Listen to this podcast and read this customer success story to learn how the team used Metastorm ProVision to see and analyze its processes, and to identify time wasters and other areas of inefficiency, how it subsequently used Metastorm BPM to execute the Leaner, more agile processes across the entire enterprise, and how it utilized the power of the Metastorm Enterprise software suite to realize greater efficiency, and meet the goals of AFSO21.

In der letzten Euro am Sonntag konnt man einen Ausschnitt aus The Wall Street Journal lesen:
"Obama-Care bewegt die Börse
Der IT-Sektor im Gesundheitssystem ist, wie bereits jetzt auszumachen, einer der großen Gewinner der Reform. Diese ist komplex: 32 Millionen neue Patienten werden bald in die Systeme der Gesundheitsversorger geschwemmt. Dementsprechend wird es an verschiedenen Stellen System-Upgrades gehn, um die zunehmende Datenmenge zu verarbeiten.
Schon 2009 wurde deshalb ein Stimuluspaket zum Ausbau der elektronischen Patientendatenbanken in Höhe von 20 Milliarden US-Dollar verabschiedet, das großteils noch ausgegeben werden muss."
