ASAP Systems Makes Headway in the Environmental Solutions Industry by Providing MBC with Its Scalable Online Inventory and Asset Tracking System, BarCloud













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.

New Program Aims to Put ‘Every Community Online? in Texas

New Program Aims to Put ‘Every Community Online’ in Texas












Austin, Texas (PRWEB) April 24, 2012

Connected Texas, in partnership with the Texas State Library and Archives Commission (TSLAC) and Intel, announced Tuesday the launch of the Every Community Online (ECO) program. The program offers free computer and Internet training and leaves participants eligible for free computer giveaways as well as discounted home broadband services.

“The Every Community Online program focuses on improving broadband access, adoption, and use across the entire state,” said Connected Texas Executive Director Don Shirley. “One million, four-hundred thousand Texas adults say a lack of digital skills and knowledge of how to use a computer and broadband is the main reason they don’t have broadband at home. The ECO program promises to change that by offering Texans a free way to learn life-changing digital skills through their local library and then be rewarded with discounted broadband services and a chance at a free computer.”

ECO training sessions introduce new users to basic computer functions, how to access the Internet, and how to access and utilize sites on the Internet. The goal of this program is to showcase the many educational, healthcare, economic, and communication benefits of broadband use, and to encourage residents, especially in rural communities, to subscribe to and use broadband Internet service.

“TSLAC is excited to share ECO with Texas librarians who are teaching basic computer and Internet skills to their patrons,” said Peggy D. Rudd, director/librarian of the Texas State Library and Archives Commission. “This is an exciting opportunity for librarians to utilize proven curriculum that is located in one, convenient online location. Also, we believe the ECO incentives such as the computer sweepstakes, will encourage more patrons to sign up for classes and get online.”

About 40,000 people are expected to receive ECO training in the first year at more than 350 libraries across the state. Participants will be offered a new user starter kit consisting of a basic computer and basic broadband service (where available) packaged at a discount to encourage immediate adoption and long-term broadband subscription.

Current Connected Texas research shows that computer ownership and Internet adoption rates in Texas correlate directly with educational levels.

    45% of Texans with less than a high school diploma own computers and only 22% adopt broadband
    Those numbers jump about 30% each for high school graduates, with a 75% computer ownership rate and 50% broadband adoption rate

The biggest gap is among low-income rural Texans.

    Only 28% of low-income rural Texans subscribe to broadband and only 47% have a computer at home

“Intel Corporation recognizes that a strong foundation in computer and Internet skills is necessary for personal and professional success in the twenty-first century,” said Intel K-12 Education Manager Paige Johnson. “That’s exactly why Intel is directly involved in education programs – like Every Community Online – that enable the next generation of workers to be positive contributors to the economy.”

New computer sweepstakes winners will be selected from participants in the ECO program who are new adopters to computing and broadband.

Debunking the Concerns of the Online Learning Experience for Adults

Debunking the Concerns of the Online Learning Experience for Adults











Chancellor Gary Brahm, Brandman University

Irvine, CA (PRWEB) November 19, 2013

With unemployment hovering at 7.3 percent and many employers still holding off hiring despite strong profits, the challenge facing many adults is whether or not to seek additional education in hopes of being prepared to jump back into the work force or to advance their current careers. With competition on every front, this is especially true for those who often have to juggle the responsibilities of a family, elderly parents and work. The emergence of online education as a viable alternative to traditional brick and mortar learning provides an avenue to take the next step.

A recent Gallup poll discovered that many adults recognize the flexibility of online education, saying it provided a format most students can succeed in and that it provides a variety of choices for highly regarded curriculum. One-third of the more than 1,000 adults surveyed also said the value of tuition they paid is better than traditional classroom-based education, and 34 percent said it is equal to the value of a traditional education.

Chancellor Gary Brahm of Brandman University in Irvine, California, part of the Chapman University System, has been at the forefront of providing high quality, cost efficient online education for adults. His university has been honored by the highly respected U.S. News & World Report educational rankings. In 2013, Brandman was named Best Online Bachelor’s Program in California and ranked in the top 10 nationally.

“Critical for those considering online education options in 2014, one should be thinking outside your geographical box. Whether you live in an area with many colleges or in an area with few or none, the beauty of online education is that the teaching comes to you,” said Brahm.

“In addition to checking out such resources as the U.S.News & World Report rankings, go online to see what students are saying about the courses and/or degree programs you are interested in pursuing. In addition, make certain the university you wish to attend is accredited by a regional accrediting body.”

Below, Chancellor Brahm offers his thoughts on the concerns adult learners might have when considering beginning an online education program.

# 1: Online education is too easy

Online courses provide more flexibility so that the student can learn at his or her own pace but they require just as much work and, importantly, allow the student with initiative to think innovatively in terms of processing and responding to assignments. Educators at institutions which were early online education adopters often offer classes which are generally more robust, reflecting the time spent evolving courses to meet the challenges of a course and/or major in a dynamic and progressive manner reflective of the real world.

For many adults, online education is the ideal vehicle for balancing a family, a job and the next goal in their education. A great resource is the highly regarded U.S. News & World Report online education rankings which scores hundreds of institutions in faculty credentials and training, student services and training, and student engagement.

#2: The technology is too difficult for many adults

Online education has undergone a significant transformation in the last few years as it has become an in-demand resource for a large segment of adults looking at higher education options. While basic knowledge is required, you don’t need to be the next founder of a billion dollar tech start-up. Not even close. Recognizing that technical and other support forms are essential in every aspect of an online education, leading institutions provide extensive resources for every student both online and via skilled counselors. Studies by leading educational publications show that leading online providers are increasing their spending to provide ease-of-use technology for both teachers and students to level the playing field for all involved.

#3: All courses /degree programs are created the same

Students are too savvy and demanding to accept traditional in-class courses that are simply being “poured” into a computer for online initiatives. The days of talking heads and static slide shows are quickly coming to an end. In fact, most sophisticated universities have put together teams of specialists including instructional designers, technologists and faculty content experts whose sole job is to create dynamic courses that incorporate compelling technology with storytelling and essential information to deliver outstanding learning outcomes. While there isn’t an Avatar movie-like course in the making, students are increasingly giving high marks to programs that incorporate best practices in course design.                                        

#4: Online degrees aren’t employment worthy

Putting aside the adaptation from a famous Seinfeld episode, employers and recruiters recognize the assets of a committed online graduate. A number of studies by colleges and independent research firms over the past few years, including one in 2011, have shown that nearly two-thirds of those familiar with online education believe that a degree earned online is as credible as one earned at a traditional campus-based program.

A study by Excelsior College in 2011 found that nearly two-thirds of those familiar with online education believed that a diploma earned in that manner was as valuable as a traditional brick and mortar degree. Respondents stated that the most important factors in determining credibility of an online degree was the accreditation of the institute awarding the degree and the quality of its graduates.

#5: Online students are on their own, not really feeling like they are part of the institution

One of the great benefits of online education is that each student not only progresses at his/her own speed, but does so with the ability to actively seek out support and guidance from faculty and staff that has a vested interest in seeing students succeed. Importantly, most online classes are limited to 25-30 students whereas on-ground instruction can be two or three times that number sometimes running into the hundreds listening in an auditorium.

In the online world, students have lots of options including regular video and conference calls with their instructors, who often will reach out to them if a period of time has elapsed without interaction. Students are encouraged to engage in peer-to-peer sessions both online and in person. This is the ideal environment for students to advocate for themselves in a comprehensive learning environment.

For example, some of our Brandman initiatives provide personal coaching, an advisor for each student, and student services provided by one-stop experts so that students won’t need to navigate the phone system to receive the attention they need.

About Chancellor Gary Brahm

Gary Brahm serves as chancellor of Brandman University overseeing overall operations of the institution and managing approximately 2,262 faculty and staff. Brandman University is a private, nonprofit institution accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC). Prior to his present position, Brahm served as the executive vice president for finance and administration and chief operating officer for Chapman University for over 13 years. Brahm has served as a member of various Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) visiting teams and in 2007, he was appointed for a 3-year term to the WASC Interim Review Committee. Prior to joining Chapman University in 1994, Brahm was vice president of finance and chief financial officer at National University. He received his bachelor’s degree in biology from California State University, Northridge and a master’s in business administration from the University of Southern California.

Beaumont, Texas (PRWEB) February 03, 2013

Private investigation companies are able to access specific data about men and women using national databases unavailable to the public. A new discount background check company is providing immediate records research online at the http://www.everifydatabase.com.

State records are typically housed by state agencies to provide a paper trail for all scenarios that require documentation. This can be property transfers, arrest records, traffic citations and other data that is useful for a person to research.

Unlike paying for the expense of a private investigator, the Everify Database holds over one billion records that include data from all 50 states. This search system is available to access from any Internet connected computer or mobile Internet connection at a fraction of the cost of hiring private companies.

The search access that is now granted online for discount prices also includes records searches for related data. This data can include birth records, marriage records, divorce, sex offender and reverse phone lookups. This data is now included in one of the largest databases that are available through online searches outside of law enforcement requests. All data that is located by users complies with FCC regulations for personal data distribution online and in print.

About Everify Database
