Turki Almadhi Ventures Inc. is excited to announce new negotiation partnerships with 2 new tech startups. These startups focus on primarily the travel industry, but in very different capacities. One works as a gamification for travellers, that creates benefits for venders and clients alike. And the other is tailored to creating seamless VIP/Concierge experiences for travellers.

"Each app has it's own niche market that we hope to attract. Travelling is becoming more and more of a complication, but having these apps will enable travellers to streamline the process." Said Mr. Almadhi when asked why travel apps.

#TAVIteam travelled approximately 1,500,000+ airmiles in 2016, and anticipates to double that in 2017. Travel, and travel apps are where the industry is turning towards - apps that stand out and makes things simpler, especially in cities that are new, and unknown (although at this point that is getting quite difficult to encounter...)

These are the first startups in the travel sphere that Turki Almadhi Ventures Inc. have started negotiations with. Within the current portfolio - Expedia is the only specifically travel company that has been invested in. Of course, anyone who knows the TAVI history, also knows that we are heavily invested in Boeing as well.

Turki Almadhi Ventures Inc. is looking forward to securing these partnerships in the first quarter of 2017, and will be anxiously awaiting their launch into the public domain for use.

The Turki Almadhi Ventures Inc. fund is a privately funded corporation established in 2003 and that is based out of New York City. For media and press inquiries please contact Elle Jacobs directly at +1 646 783 0161 or through email at hello(at)turkialmadhi(dot)com.

Iyka Enterprises will introduce its big data analytics platform for business intelligence, Iyka dS, at the prestigious Pravasi Haryana Divas (PHD) and Pravasi Bharatiya Divas (PBD) events in Gurugram, India next week.

These events, which will connect select organizations with government buyers include networking sessions, technical presentations and one-to-one business meetings. Organizers will highlight available avenues for investments in various sectors, including technology.

Iyka President and CEO Poonam Gupta-Krishnan said, “As the company continues to grow in the U.S., this is a unique opportunity to present Iyka dS to a new and, what I expect will be, a highly receptive international market.”

Iyka dS is the most comprehensive, accurate and fastest-time-to-results data analytics platform on the market today. It delivers knowledge that organizations can use to share knowledge, manage risk, and power decisions and actions that drive performance.

The platform identifies new opportunities and enables the implementation of effective strategies based on insights. It empowers organizations with the competitive advantage that leads to long-term growth and stability.

“Organizations outside the U.S. have the same concerns about data analytics as organizations in the U.S.,” Gupta-Krishnan said. “They know they need to analyze the mountains of data that they have been amassing, but they are concerned about the accuracy of the results, guaranteesâ€"areas like that. They also don’t want to wait months to get the answers they need.”

She continued, “These are natural concerns, especially when these organizations have worked with other business intelligence consultants in the past. Through case studies and client referrals, we are able to assure them upfront that Iyka dS delivers comprehensive, relevant results in a fraction of the time it takes for similar platforms. And we do this without adulterating the data and without any technology expertise on their part.”

For example, Iyka dS caught $130 million in missed subrogation claims for a multinational insurance company; and conducted a patient care sentiment analysis that helped a leading healthcare organization identify $85 million in potential new patients, while saving $1 million in implementation costs.

In addition to providing an international opportunity to showcase Iyka dS, the PHD/PBD events will include visits to major industrial facilities such as Infosys, the Bangalore Bio-innovation Centre, and aerospace and precision component manufacturers.

SOVA, a leading seller of Verizon telecom solutions, announced that it is now offering the innovative Verizon SD WAN solution, through agents, to small and mid-sized organizations.

SOVA President and CEO Gene Esopi said, “This is an excellent technology that allows organizations to seamlessly allocate bandwidth as applications require it. This has a number of advantages including cost efficiencies, disaster recovery features and management analytics across networks.”

A software-defined wide area network (SD WAN) simplifies the management and operation of a WAN by separating the networking hardware from its control mechanism. A key application of an SD WAN is allowing companies to build high performance WANs, enabling businesses to replace expensive private WAN connection technologies. That means the hybrid network can move in tandem with the business. All SD WAN utilities have the following four characteristics:

    A simple interface that is easy to configure and manage.
    The ability to perform responsive path selection.
    The ability to support multiple connection types.
    The ability to support virtual private networks (VPNs), and third party services.

Using software-defined policies, Verizon’s SD WAN solution enables agile network adaptation to changing service levels and bandwidth demandsâ€"consistently delivering just the right amount of bandwidth. This means a fast, flexible network that scales on demand for the performance users need, when they need it. Benefits of Verizon’s SD WAN include:

    Bandwidth. SD WANs allow clients to support their cloud deployments across multiple locations enabling more efficient bandwidth usage.
    Disaster Recovery. SD WANs provide disaster recovery features over diverse infrastructures.
    Analytics and Management. The central SD WAN platform enables fast and seamless management across multiple devices. This platform can be accessed for integration with other management, reporting, provisioning and network-dependent applications. Prioritizing any application across the network typically requires only a single click.

Verizon provides comprehensive network management and monitoring for its SD WAN solution; helping clients prioritize WAN traffic and create SD WAN policies that can significantly reduce or eliminate the need to purchase and provision additional bandwidth. As conditions on the network change, Verizon routes traffic accordingly--automatically prioritizing critical applications while dynamically suppressing non-critical ones.

Depending on the client’s current infrastructure, Verizon’s Managed SD WAN can seamlessly overlay existing WAN technology; changing how the client’s WAN works without drastically changing their network. This delivers all the benefits of SD WAN, while leveraging the client’s existing technology. Verizon’s experts can quickly handle upgrades, changes, wireless and third-party connectivity verification, and other complex issues.

“This SD WAN solution is one element of the robust portfolio of Verizon solutions that we offer our agents,” Esopi said, “We work hard to add additional value through an award-winning agent program, top tier compensation and comprehensive industry-leading back office support.”

As a valued Verizon Partner Program member since 1994, SOVA has earned Platinum level status; agents benefit from select privileges that many telecom solution providers cannot offer. SOVA has customized programs for telecom agents, VARs, MSPs, and telesales organizations and provides customer solutions in every product category including voice and data, network, Cloud, mobility, machine-to-machine, managed internet, VoIP, and global services. SOVA’s award-winning agent program features no quotas, no minimums, no commitments; dedicated pre-sales and post-sales specialists; simplified quoting and ordering; and a state-of-the-art agent portal.

eMazzanti Technologies’ Bellevue, Washington office today announced a comprehensive Azure and Dynamics cost model designed to help business leaders evaluate the projected outlays for deployment of applications and data to the cloud. The model applies to the deployment of Microsoft Dynamics AX, Microsoft Dynamics NAV with SQL PaaS and Microsoft Dynamics GP applications in business environments.

“The cost savings of moving Dynamics applications to the cloud can be significant,” explained Mark Clawson, Cloud Services Practice Manager, eMazzanti Technologies, Bellevue. “However, organizations must consider the total cost of ownership for on premise applications to get an accurate picture.”

The model compares the cost of on premise deployments of Microsoft Dynamics applications to hosting the same applications in the Microsoft Azure cloud. The comprehensive model considers all the associated on-site expenses such as hardware and software, licensing, subscriptions, power, IT staff, support and facilities costs, and projects them over one-to-five-year period.

Savings are achieved by eliminating or reducing capital outlays and replacing variable IT expenses with predictable payments for cloud services. The model often shows that ongoing expenses for cloud services can be lower than the total cost of ownership associated with on-site infrastructure, enabling organizations to optimize their cloud deployments.

According to Clawson, there are important qualitative factors to consider in addition to the costs identified in the model, including business agility, scalability, compliance, security, enhanced user experience, service levels, application performance and risk.

“In addition to identifying the lowest cost deployment option, the Azure cost model accelerates the decision process, shrinking deployment timelines and time to market for new services,” stated Clawson. “Organizations contemplating Dynamics NAV, AX or GP deployments to the cloud can enable faster and better decisions by using the model.”

eMazzanti offers a mix of cloud services for business delivered on the Microsoft Cloud (Azure) and support, available through its Bellevue, Washington office. Included in eMazzanti’s service offering are telephone and on-site support for hosting Microsoft Dynamics AX and Life Cycle Services, Dynamics NAV with SQL PAAS and Dynamics GP, as well as other infrastructure support services.

Sonoma, California (PRWEB) January 04, 2017

Nelson, a leader in California’s staffing and recruiting industry, today released its 2017 Advisor and Salary Guide: a comprehensive resource designed to help California employers compete for talent. This year’s Advisor and Salary Guide features salary data for more than 200 positions in local California markets. It also includes Nelson’s 2017 Workplace Trends Report, which was generated from the results of a survey of more than 500 hiring managers and thought leaders from companies of many industries and sizes in 17 California counties throughout the state.

“Historically low unemployment rates are contributing to increased talent competition across the various industries we serve,” said Tony Bartenetti, President of Business Development and Strategic Partnerships at Nelson. “Candidates and employees now have more leverage when it comes to negotiating and managing the employee/employer relationship. Employers need to use every piece of information at their disposal to ensure their compensation packages are competitive and to avoid recruiting challenges that negatively impact business results.”

The Workplace Trends Report in Nelson’s 2017 Advisor and Salary Guide reveals key insights into workplace trends important for budgeting for and planning for talent acquisition and retention efforts in the upcoming year. Overwhelmingly, California employers report:

1. Significant challenges attracting key talent.
Survey respondents named “talent acquisition and management” the number one business challenge their businesses currently face. And with the majority of companies continuing to increase headcount, competing for talent will continue to be a challenge through 2017.

2. Changing work formats.
Companies are increasingly utilizing independent contractors; and offering flexible work options (including flexible schedules, work-at-home arrangements, and part-time scheduling options) to most employees is the norm, not the exception or an unexpected perk.

3. Wages not rising enough to compete for increasingly scarce talent.
Despite the majority indicating they’d be willing to pay higher than budget to attract and retain top talent, nearly half of employers report that wages in 2016 were flat or lower when compared with wages over the past several years. And with a better compensation package reported as the top reason employees leave, stagnant wages are a significant challenge.

Each year, leaders of companies who operate in California consult Nelson’s Advisor and Salary Guide for the most up-to-date and accurate salary data and workplace trends information. “This year’s Advisor and Salary Guide from Nelson gave us crucial information we need to structure our compensation and benefit plans,” said Eric Pansegrau, Founder of JIBASoft, Inc. “The new Workplace Trends Report helped us gauge the current hiring climate and learn what is important to candidates considering a position at our company. We now have a better understanding of what we need to do to attract new talent and retain our top performers.”
