Online Asset Tracking- Environmental Solutions


San Jose, CA (PRWEB) July 30, 2014

MBC, located in South Island, New Zealand, is a company that has specialized in environmental solutions involving project management, animal control, vegetation services, and erosion control since 2007. The company’s recent client growth and expansion into new areas of business prompted them to purchase a substantial amount of new equipment (assets) such as computers, laptops, generators, satellite phones, GPS devices, radios, and more. In order to manage the increase in assets, MBC wanted a cloud-based asset and inventory system that could monitor the location and status of assets anytime, anywhere.

Using Excel to track hundreds of moving assets (in-office and off-site) was ineffective for MBC because it failed to provide real-time inventory operations data. The unsophisticated system was not capable of tracking equipment that frequently changed users and locations. Adding to the challenge, employees worked simultaneously in a number of unique job sites, from inner city Auckland to remote mine sites and forests. Company managers were having trouble keeping their employees accountable for the equipment they used; they wanted to avoid the occurrence of employees losing equipment in “the bush.” In addition, management sought to track equipment maintenance activities to extend the useful life of their assets. Without this high level of asset control, the company failed to oversee which resources were being used, where they were being used, and what was still available.

After researching online, MBC chose ASAP Systems’ BarCloud, a SaaS application in the cloud that allowed them to visualize a more accurate picture of their business, especially when it came to their inventory of assets. After initial training, the team could easily input asset data into the online system database and begin checking out or loaning out equipment to employees spread throughout New Zealand. Management received the level of oversight they desired through the ability to view the real-time location, status, and user of equipment online. In addition, BarCloud gave them the ability to log scheduled and performed equipment maintenance tasks as well as rename the data fields and tabs in the system. At the end of the day, the company could focus more on environmental solution strategies by spending less time managing spreadsheets. ASAP Systems was able to save the company time and money through better visibility and control of their assets.

“ASAP Systems’ BarCloud stood out because it would give us the ability to grow into the online system as our company grew,” said Adam Walker, Technical Manager at MBC.

WaveMaker 6.0 Makes SaaS Simple

WaveMaker 6.0 Makes SaaS Simple











San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) November 18, 2009

WaveMaker today announced general availability of the first open source cloud development platform. WaveMaker 6.0 is available under the Apache open source license, providing organizations with the features and benefits found in proprietary cloud development platforms – such as Force.com and Azure – at a fraction of the cost.

With an open source community of 15,000 active developers, WaveMaker has established itself as a leading rapid application development platform for cloud computing. WaveMaker’s browser-based, drag and drop platform makes it easy for anyone to prototype, develop and customize great looking web applications.

Because WaveMaker 6.0 was built using open source standards, it is the only cloud development platform to support deployment to any cloud, running on any Java server and connecting to any database. WaveMaker’s studio was even built using WaveMaker, demonstrating the power of WaveMaker technology.

WaveMaker 6.0 also introduces the industry’s first automated multi-tenant support. For this feature, WaveMaker’s server-side security module automatically isolates all database access between the tenants or customers of a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) application.

WaveMaker also announced a reference application that demonstrates the capabilities of WaveMaker 6.0. This application, called EnterTweet, combines a standard employee directory application with the Twitter web services API to provide a customized Twitter client for the Enterprise. Best of all, this application was built and deployed as a multi-tenant application onto EC2 in less than 10 minutes! For more information, see the short WaveMaker EnterTweet video.

“WaveMaker’s open source cloud development platform provides an important approach for customers adopting cloud computing,” said Judith Hurwitz, author of Cloud Computing for Dummies and President of Hurwitz & Associates. “WaveMaker’s ability to create partnerships with IBM, Amazon and RightScale also illustrates the value of an open source business model.”

“WaveMaker is easing the migration path for Java developers who want to bring existing application logic and data into a SaaS environment, while still retaining control over their deployment options,” stated Phil Wainewright, industry analyst at Procullux Ventures. “With automated support for robust multi-tenant databases, WaveMaker 6.0 advances software developers even further along the path towards realizing the full benefits of the SaaS model.”

“Cloud computing is fast maturing, but one lagging indicator is developer tools designed specifically for cloud deployment,” said James Governor, principal analyst at RedMonk. “WaveMaker aims to change that with their 6.0 release, an open source toolset, and relationships with key players such as IBM, Amazon and RightScale.”

About WaveMaker

WaveMaker is the only open source cloud development platform, with a 15,000-strong developer community and a leadership role in the Cloud Quick Start Program in partnership with IBM, Amazon and RightScale. WaveMaker makes it ridiculously easy to build, deploy and customize cloud applications with drag and drop development tools, one-click cloud deployment and end user self-service customization. WaveMaker customers like Ameren, Best Western, KANA, New Zealand Post and Pioneer Energy have built amazing-looking web applications with minimal learning curve and up to 98% less code.

Boost Software Makes Annual Company Retreat a Great Success

Boost Software Makes Annual Company Retreat a Great Success














Boston, MA (PRWEB) August 15, 2013

Boost Software, whose products PC Health Boost and Driverboost Pro were developed to fix slow computer problems, has seen a huge upswing in popularity over the past year. That’s not just because PC Health Boost reviews are some of the most positive for software of its type. It’s also because 2013 is the year that saw Boost Software as a Microsoft Pinpoint Partner.

The Boost team stayed in a bed and breakfast in just below the Omni Bretton Hotel–site of the 1944 International Monetary Conference. Attendees came from as far a Bialystock, Poland and as close as Glover, VT, with flights and car rentals provided by the company.

Team members were treated to a beautiful view of the highest mountains in the Northeast, as well as a healthy all-Paleo diet. Group activities included:

A hike at Lost Valley Gorge, where team members and their families walked, climbed, and even crawled through 13 different caves.

A trip on the Mount Washington Cog Railway. This 45-minute one-way cog rail trip takes passengers to the Mount Washington Observatory, located on New England’s highest peak. Another 45-minute ride deposits passengers at the foot of the mountain.

Award ceremonies, family fun, and discussion of an even more robust version of PC Health Boost were all presented during the retreated.

PC Health Boost is a PC optimization software that has provided a “Blue screen of death fix”, as well as an answer (and solution) to the question, “Why is my computer slow?” since 2012. Driverboost Pro is a program that helps computer owners make sure their hardware works properly with their operating system at all times.

Stay connected with the Boot Software team and learn more about upcoming changes to the top registry cleaner by following the PC Health Boost blog. For advertising and partnership opportunities, please contact Erin Walsh.
