(PRWEB) February 11, 2014

NOVAtime Technology, Inc. (http://www.novatime.com), a forward-thinking workforce management solution development company that continues to apply the latest technological advancements to its suite of Time and Attendance / Workforce Management products and services, announced today that it has successfully hosted its second User Conference February 4 – 6 at the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas.

In line with the Encounters Conference theme of “Mobility,” NOVAtime previewed exciting mobile offerings planned for 2014. One of the highlights of the conference was Frank Su, Founder and CEO of NOVAtime, providing a live demonstration of the new Advanced Schedule Manager (ASM) product. The demonstration showed one employee calling in sick and the system automatically sending text messages to several qualified employees to fill the position. As one employee electronically accepted the position, the system filled the open schedule. Another employee who responded a bit later received a declination message, saying the position had been filled.

NOVAtime User Conference attendees also enjoyed a virtual tour of the data center, as well as overviews of new features that were introduced to the solution in 2013 and new functionalities on the 2014 development roadmap. Additionally, attendees benefitted from sessions presented by Adam D.H. Grant (“Use of Mobile Apps in the Workplace: Privacy and Security”) and Alfred J. Landegger, Esq. (“2014 Wage and Hour Trends and Litigation”). Mr. Grant is a shareholder of Alpert, Barr & Grant; Mr. Landegger is a senior partner at Landegger Baron Law Group, which specializes in employment labor laws and workers’ compensation.

During a Product Review Board session, NOVAtime’s guest speaker, Kevin Soohoo, CIO at Air Systems, discussed how their company has been successfully utilizing the NOVAtime system via PCs and iPads to manage both union and non-union employees since July 2011. Mr. Soohoo elaborated on the large-group feature that was implemented in NOVAtime to support over 15,000 combinations of jobs and work order codes.

Many NOVAtime team members were on hand, meeting with attendees that they have worked with on implementations and supporting installations. In addition to NOVAtime personnel, the conference provided an opportunity for attendees to network with other NOVAtime customers. Lucy Saldana said, “It’s really good to meet the other users and learn from each other. The interaction with other users was very helpful. I enjoyed learning about some features that are already in the system and ones that will be available in 2014.” Another conference attendee commented that she really enjoyed meeting other NOVAtime customers, and tweeted, “I had a good time at the banquet.”

NOVAtime’s social media was flooded with posts from enthusiastic conference attendees. Reyna Garcia posted on Twitter, “Best conference ever!!!! Great company!!!” Someone else tweeted, “History, products, networking… great conference.”

A NOVAtime user and conference attendee posted on Facebook, “I am excited to be here again. I was looking forward to this since last year’s conference. Looking forward to learning what is new for 2014. Excited for the multi edit feature.” Later, the same person posted again, “I downloaded the mobile app while at the conference. Thanks to this technology I was able to see some employees left work to go to the Seahawks parade but didn’t clock out.”

The Encounters Conference not only provided information to users, but also enabled NOVAtime to gain insight from customers in order to guide future development. “The conference was very informative. It was a very pleasant experience, and we got to suggest new features that will help us be more productive,” said Tatjana Projkovska of Gerawan Farming Inc.

Brian Harris, Vice President of Client Services at NOVAtime, concluded, “This conference was the perfect opportunity for our customers to meet, share their experiences, and learn from each other. It was also an opportunity for them to witness the passion and energy of the NOVAtime team that continues to develop innovative advancements within the Workforce Management / Time and Attendance industry.”

ACR Electronics, Inc. & George Poveromo a Saltwater Partnership for Safety at Sea

Fort Lauderdale, FL (PRWEB) February 11, 2014

ACR Electronics, Inc., a leader in safety and signaling technologies, announces their newest brand ambassador – George Poveromo, nationally recognized saltwater fisherman and host of the NBC Sports Network TV series, “George Poveromo’s World of Saltwater Fishing”.

A world-renowned angling authority and long-time customer of ACR, George Poveromo has also experienced his own close call at sea. While off the Florida Keys in 2012, George was pulled overboard while hooked to a 256 pound swordfish, which he ultimately went on to catch. With this experience serving as a prime example that the unexpected can happen even to the most experienced fisherman, Poveromo now touts the merits of safe boating and fishing among his strong following of saltwater fishing enthusiast.

“The very first EPIRB I purchased was an ACR, and every one since has been an ACR, because of their untouchable reputation in the marine safety field,” said Poveromo.

Together, ACR and Poveromo are getting the word out to offshore boaters that 406 MHz beacons are a small price to pay for lifesaving technology and should never be viewed as optional gear. “People tend to associate boating mishaps with sinking,” said Poveromo. “But what if there’s an electrical fire and you need to abandon the vessel, or if you fall overboard at night and no one notices? There are inherent dangers associated with offshore fishing and boating, and that’s why every sea-going vessel should carry an ACR EPIRB as well as personal locator beacons. You can’t put a price tag on the safety of your family and friends who are on board for a fun day of fishing,” added Poveromo.

Learn more about ACR’s 406 MHz beacons on George Poveromo’s World of Saltwater Fishing show on NBC Sports or at his Salt Water Sportsman National Seminar Series.

Adoption of Patient-Centric Strategies Drives Interest in Pharmaceutical Digital Marketing, According to a Soon to Be Released Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.

San Jose, CA (PRWEB) December 10, 2013

Follow us on LinkedIn – GIA invites senior industry executives, domain experts, technologists and market strategists to participate in a comprehensive global research initiative studying the “Pharmaceutical Digital Marketing and Social Media” markets. The study will examine key drivers and trends impacting the market such as growing awareness among pharma companies over the importance of customer engagement against a backdrop of an emerging era of participatory medicine; increase in the number of social media projects undertaken by pharma companies worldwide; growing use of social media in drug development and discovery in addition to drug marketing; rise in the number of human clinical trials and the role played by social media in improving clinical trial enrolments; emerging significance of digital health and digital health feedback systems.

Defined as the use of digital marketing tools such as websites, e-mail, apps, and social media for superior customer experience management, Pharmaceutical Digital Marketing and Social Media is currently a ballooning phenomenon in the pharmaceutical industry. With the internet becoming a key source for accessing health related information, digital health defined as the convergence of internet, genomics, and healthcare, is exerting pressure on pharma companies to remain relevant in healthcare. With social media already entwined into the very fiber of modern society, the value of nurturing social confidence in drugs and therapies among patients and caregivers can no longer be undermined. Also, information assimilated from social media conversations can provide critical insights that can shape the success of clinical development programs. Information shared by physicians can accelerate the drug development process and increase the possibility of developing new indications for existing drugs. The market is also expected to benefit from the growing importance of pharmacovigilance, as companies struggle to build public confidence by maximizing drug safety all through the product’s lifecycle. Social media engagement in this regard can provide valuable post drug approval, real life data in the form of both solicited and unsolicited opinions on drug safety from patients and physicians.

With over 5000 new drugs currently in clinical development, the task of recruiting patients into clinical trials is a huge challenge for clinical trial sponsors. Social media engagement in the pharmaceutical Industry can help create public awareness and improve recruitment outcomes. The coming years are expected to witness companies increasingly manage patient enrolment and retention strategies such as online patient communities, social networking sites including Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter, online bulletin boards, blogs, and e-forums, among others.

The growing focus on reducing healthcare costs is also expected to encourage adoption of social media among pharmaceutical companies, since creation of a platform for information exchange at the community level provides a cost-effective direct marketing opportunity. The study estimates Pharmaceutical Digital Marketing and Social Media to be a multi-million dollar market worldwide, while more precise market-size and growth projections will be made available during the 2nd stage of report preparation, and data analysis.

The research and analyses will be released shortly in the form of a comprehensive research report. The report by design, will attempt to provide exhaustive analysis, data, trends, market share, market size, statistics, forecasts and competitive intelligence. The report is modeled to offer precise and unbiased, actionable market insights including in-depth segmentation of market sub-sectors, demand estimates and projections and analysis of trends in each of the sectors, identification of leading players, and the competitive structure, among others.

Developed for Pharmaceutical Companies, Strategic Planners, Business Development Executives, Management Consultants, Investment Bankers, Consulting Firms, Marketing & Sales Executives, C-Level Decision Makers, Market Strategists and Technology Domain Experts, the report helps identify the biggest opportunities in this space and offers accurate latent demand forecasting that empowers quantitative decision making among existing market players and new entrants.
