Cutting through the hype and confusion surrounding Web services
NEW YORK, February 13, 2002Web services will be an evolutionary step in the IT market, yet vendors are overpromising on what they can provide and hijacking the term to promote their own products and services. Standards are absolutely critical, but vendors seem determined to add further confusion even in this area. The recently announced Web Services Interoperability Organization initiative shows the massive vendor support for Web services, but has also added another layer to the standards process.
The451 today launched a comprehensive analysis of the Web services market. The 130-page report examines when and how enterprises should take advantage of this evolution. It advises them to be wary of vendor claims, and to seek reference sites and standards conformance. It assesses the risks to many vendors that will find their products facing commoditization. And it serves as a warning to investors that many startups face an uncertain future.
Web services are applications that can interact with one another dynamically via Internet technologies. They are reusable components that can be published, located and invoked over the Internet using standard protocols. This can eliminate the need for expensive proprietary solutions. However, Web services will not suddenly eliminate the need for application integration or move us much closer to the nirvana of vast repositories of reusable code.
The451 analyzes the entire Web services value chain and identifies strategies the winning companies will need to pursue. The report details the implications of Web services for major IT vendors, application internetworking companies, Web services platform vendors, integration companies, end users and investors. It analyzes the key decisions that industry players need to make and provides actionable advice on how to become a leader in this market.
The report, which retails at $ 1,495, includes more than 50 in-depth primary interviews with senior industry figures, including 19 of the most promising startup companies. This report is a must-read for anyone involved in the IT market. It is relevant to the vendor community, ISVs, users, investors, consultants and distributors.
The main body of the report provides detailed profiles of the major industry players and startups in Web services. Major players profiled include BEA, IBM, Microsoft, Sun and Tibco. Startups profiled include Cacheon, Killdara, Shinka and Velocigen. The report also analyzes the future direction of the Web services market and the role of standards.

Cincinnati, OH (PRWEB) December 10, 2005
Cincinnati?s virtual shutdown during the ?Great Snow of Christmas ?04? prompted city officials to look at a high-tech solution to managing weather emergencies.
?People didn’t want to hear we were there (clearing the streets) — well, it didn’t look like we were there.? These words from Cincinnati?s Director of Public Services Daryl Brock, describing the city?s response to the virtual shutdown resulting from the ?Great Snow of Christmas ?04,? ultimately convinced the City Council’s Neighborhood and Public Services Committee of the need to invest in a GPS-based tracking solution for its 110 snow plows and supporting vehicles.
Now, as another winter season rapidly approaches, the city of Cincinnati is much better prepared for the onslaught, thanks to their recent implementation of a GPS-based fleet management solution from Navtrak, Inc.
After Brock?s report, Councilwoman Laketa Cole, suggested implementing a global positioning system (GPS) solution to track the city?s vehicles. She researched the available solutions on the market, and decided to go with Navtrak, a recognized leader in GPS-based fleet management technology based in Salisbury, Maryland.
Navtrak came to the city?s aid with its powerful suite of mapping and reporting tools, which will enable the city?s dispatchers to see, in real-time, where each vehicle is located at the click of a mouse. Dispatchers can then route vehicles as needed to critical areas, and view reports on how long each driver spent clearing a particular area. By analyzing the data, Brock and his department can execute better strategies to clear Cincinnati?s streets with maximum efficiency during a weather emergency.
About Navtrak:
Navtrak is the industry leader in the development of GPS fleet management solutions, providing scalable, cost-effective vehicle monitoring and mapping solution for municipalities, and service industries, including emergency response, contracting, construction, food service, landscaping, HVAC, fuel delivery, plumbing and more. Navtrak?s Street Suite? software has received national recognition from users, industry experts and media for being the most powerful, comprehensive and intuitive fleet monitoring, mapping and reporting solution on the market.
Navtrak Inc. is headquartered in Salisbury, Maryland, with regional sales and service operations throughout the United States. There are currently more than 14,000 vehicles on the road utilizing the Navtrak fleet management solution.

Rochester, Minnesota (PRWEB) April 4, 2011
Above All Roofing of Rochester, Inc. is pleased to announce the launch of their residential and sloped commercial roofing services website at http://www.rochesterroofs.com. The site focuses on roofing services, frequently asked questions, and includes a photo gallery of homes and businesses.
The Above All Roofing web site provides an overview of their services and explains the benefits of hiring a professional contractor for roofing installation or replacement. Their services are targeted locally to roofing Rochester, MN, and the Southeast Minnesota area.
Above All Roofing president, Ryan Reinalda, states: ?We decided to expand marketing on the web in part due to the tracking that we were doing on our print advertising. We were not impressed with our quantity of leads nor our ROI. We desire to be the most internet-based roofing contractor in the Rochester area.?
?On April 8th, we will be adding Mark Mabbitt to the team. His position is Vice President, and his responsibilities will include assisting with day-to-day operations, assisting homeowners with class-action claims and possibly some limited sales.?
Above All Roofing is rated an A+ by the BBB, member Rochester Area Builders, the National Association of Homebuilders and the Builders Association of Minnesota. We are credentialed to CertainTeed?s (shingle manufacturer) highest level, SELECT Shinglemaster.
Before founding Above All Roofing in June 2003, Rochester native Ryan Reinalda worked with several other roofing crews in the area and gained extensive experience and knowledge of the roofing business. Reinalda is a family man, living in the community, and he wanted to train a crew of employees that he would feel at ease with if he engaged them to work at his home. His crew consists of five employees who also have roots in the community. Members of his crew are not subcontractors but employees, and this allows Above All Roofing to maintain the highest standard of quality control. Employees receive their training in-house, so clients can have the assurance that each crew member will give excellent service and treat every customer with respect. A company slogan is, ?We?re not the biggest, and we?re not the oldest, we?re just the best.?
Among Rochester, MN roofers, Above All Roofing stands out as one of the most exemplary Minnesota roofing contractors in the area. The company has received recognition for its high performance standards from the National Association of Homebuilders, the Builders Association of Minnesota and Rochester Area Builders. The firm has a reputation for putting quality, safety and respectful service into each of their jobs, beginning with the customer?s first inquiry to the final cleanup and beyond.
Above All Roofing in Rochester, MN, specializes in both residential and sloped commercial roofing. They install fiberglass and/or steel shingles on newly constructed buildings, and can provide entire roof replacement services. They never put new shingles over an old roof, but always tear off the old shingles before installing new ones. This ensures a professionally installed and longer lasting roof and protects the warranty as well. They are careful to abide by all code requirements, which keeps the warranties on shingles valid. The firm provides 50 year non pro-rated warranties on the roofs they install, so those roofs should perform well for decades. Also, during the snowy winter months Above All Roofing provides roof snow removal services and ice dam removal via steam.
Above All Roofing is known for its fast service and usually responds to requests for free estimates within one business day. In addition, they can normally tear off and install a new residential roof in one day. Larger, odd sized or complex roofs may take slightly longer to complete. The company offers the services of a trained consultant concerning attic insulation and ventilation, and their crew may be capable of remedying a problem in that area. If they do not correct the problem, the consultant will give advice about solutions or provide references for professional assistance. The firm also provides help with insurance claims and class-action lawsuits.
Above All Roofing prides itself on completing roofing jobs that exceed manufacturers? guidelines and never compromising on quality. They focus on putting their customers first and always treating them and their employees with respect and consideration. Their promptness, competitive pricing and professionalism have helped contribute to making the company one of the preferred Minnesota roofing contractors.

Bethesda, MD (PRWEB) October 14, 2011
Streetsense, a retail and real estate services platform integrating branding, design, architecture, development and brokerage, announced today it has acquired Burka Studios, SUMO Creative, and Tasty Concepts, expanding Streetsense?s specialized marketing capabilities for its growing client base.
?Retail and real estate today requires a different level of attention to detail and strategic thinking,? said Marc Ratner, Streetsense?s CEO. ?Streetsense has never taken a traditional approach to retail and real estate services, and these three new acquisitions dramatically enhance our ability to help our clients ?make sense of it all? from a projects conception to completion.?
?We recognize that consumers are tired of homogenized brands and static retail settings,? Ratner added. ?It is very exhilarating to see the re-emergence of the entrepreneurial retailer and a return to the urban core.?
With the addition of Burka Studios and SUMO Creative, both based in Bethesda, MD, together with Tasty Concepts, an award-winning agency with offices in Washington, D.C., Buenos Aires, Mexico City, Madrid, and New York, Streetsense continues to carve out a unique position in real estate and retail. Its clients range from real estate giants such as The JBG Companies, Vornado/Charles E. Smith, and Foulger-Pratt to esteemed brands such as The Ritz-Carlton, Marriott International, Renaissance Hotels, and Sephora as well as celebrity chefs Jose Andres, Michel Richard, Bryan Voltaggio, and many others.
?The Streetsense platform was very compelling to us because they know the whole landscape,? said Chris Sommers, co-founder of Pi Pizzeria. ?Their team took our vision from design and architecture through securing our new D.C. flagship location on F Street, District of Pi Pizzeria. It was one cohesive team from start to finish.?
The acquisitions bring together talented and experienced principals with specialized expertise. Eric Burka will continue to focus on real estate marketing; Tasty Concepts? founder Roberto Sablayrolles will spearhead the firm?s hospitality, retail, and restaurant creative group; and SUMO Creative?s Gabby Rojchin will oversee branding strategy and creative development. The new companies will be recognized under the Streetsense brand.

Dallas, TX (PRWEB) October 28, 2011
Credit Alliance Group, the nation?s largest financial services company specializing in debt negotiation, has hit a major home run with their Professional Edition. CAG founder and CEO, Shane Garner said that his goal has always been to help people make their desire to become debt free their reality. He believes one of the keys is developing a partnership with his clients. While he maintains a team of the top certified debt arbitrators in the business, he also gets the clients involved in the process by educating them on the do?s and don?ts of personal finances.
?I can settle their debt all day long,? Mr. Garner said, ?but if they don?t learn to deal differently with their money than they did in the past, they will be headed for a repeat performance. I want to give them the tools to empower themselves with their finances.”
Working in the corporate headquarters, which are located on the 58th floor, high atop the Comerica Bank Tower in Dallas, TX, Maggie Tarte, Receptionist remarked “I am moved by his passion for people. He truly cares about his clients and his staff. He knows every employee by name and his door is always open. “Having just celebrated her first anniversary with the company, Ms. Tarte went onto say how much she has learned over the past year” Mr. Garner has made sure all of us know and understand every detail of our services. When I started, I didn’t really know how to read a credit report; now I can read one in my sleep!”
The Professional Edition combines aggressive debt management with financial educational components. While he has enjoyed immense success in helping thousands of people become debt free, Mr. Garner felt that something was missing. That ?something? was personal finance education. “My father always told me, ‘Give a man a fish and he can eat today. Teach a man to fish, and he can eat for a life time.’ Partnering with Credit Services Today has been one of our best decisions,” Shane Garner stated.
?The services they provide are invaluable to our customers,” said Anthony Kell, Director of Enrollment Services. ?Our clients are more proactive in their program. For the majority, it is much more than just making a monthly payment. It?s about learning how not to repeat their financial mistakes.?
Lucinda Ramos, Senior Manager of Credit Services Today explained their features. “First we provide Debt Validation on each enrolled account. This is a legal recourse provided to every consumer in the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. The creditors are required to show proper documentation that the debt is indeed the clients. If they cannot provide us with that, then the debt becomes uncollectable and is removed from their credit report. It is not our intent to be dishonorable. You would be amazed at how many people have the same name or worse, they have Zombie Debt and don?t know it.?
Zombie Debt is an account that has passed the Statue of Limitations and is sold to collection agencies for pennies on the dollar. The agency then starts collection proceedings. If the consumer makes even a partial payment, it starts the clock running again. Validation can eliminate this. Also included is Daily Credit Monitoring Assistance. Clients choose which credit bureau?s they want to monitor. They are then taught to read their credit report and discern the red flags. They also learn how to dispute an item on the report they believe it to be inaccurate. The ?icing on the cake? is the complimentary enrollment into http://www.Mint.com this is personal finance software that is owned by Intuit, the makers of Quicken and Turbo Tax.
?Our clients learn how to create a budget, set financial goals, and pay their bills all from one site and the privacy of their home. I want to get them to incorporate healthy fiscal habits while they are in the program,” Mr. Garner added. ?This gives them the best opportunity to lead a financially controlled life after they complete the program.?
