Gainesville, TX (PRWEB) November 28, 2011

One segment of the wind energy business that is not stagnating is on-site service and maintenance of wind generation equipment, according to Wind Energy Services Company (WES), a specialist in composite components such as blades, nacelles and nose cones. The company announced today that they have expanded their service offerings to meet the evolving needs of wind farm operators and as a result anticipate doubling their workforce in the coming year. The expanded services that the company is adding include dynamic rotor balancing, comprehensive rotor service maintenance programs, and replacement composite parts for older-model equipment.

One reason behind the increasing demand for turbine repair and maintenance is the maturing of the installed base of wind turbines, some of which is aging-out of warranty. As fleets age, instances of breakdown become more frequent and overall productivity declines – especially impacting profitability when the equipment is no longer covered by manufacturer warranty.

WES has created a range of planned maintenance programs tailored to a variety of operator needs. These comprehensive programs include inspection, corrective repairs and restoration, and preventative measures like leading-edge protection. The programs are scheduled during low-wind seasons to minimize loss of production revenue. For instance, in the Midwestern USA, the summer months offer optimum working and curing conditions, as well as efficiencies in mobilization to the site translating to bottom-line cost savings.

North American operators have historically been slow to implement pro-active maintenance practices, electing instead to manage breakdowns as they occur. Recent studies by independent researchers have shown that over the lifecycle of a turbine, repair costs are substantially less with scheduled maintenance programs than on an emergency call basis. As the industry pursues ways to improve their efficiencies and profitability, preventative maintenance is gaining acceptance as a necessary best practice.

Another new offering from WES is spare parts for older turbines. Through the Molded Fiber Glass Companies (MFG), WESs parent company and one of the largest manufacturers of composite components in the US, WES is now supplying custom orders of replacement blades, nacelles, spinners, hatches and other FRP components that are no longer stocked by the OEM. MFGs process for creating tooling from a customers existing part is quick and non-destructive to the part itself.

With the business expansion, WES anticipates a doubling of their workforce in the coming year, and is actively recruiting top talent for their Gainesville, TX-headquarters, as well as satellite service centers in California and South Dakota. We want to attract and bolster the top blade repair force in the industry especially with experienced technicians with management aptitude and ambition, reports Gary Kanaby, director of sales for WES. Its a job like none other a blend of extreme sport, technical know-how and business sense, and were looking for the very best of the breed to join our premier team.

The company is currently seeking candidates to fill position openings for Onsite Team Leaders, Project Manager and Composite Repair Technicians and anticipates bringing on 25 or more new teammates in the next six months. (http://www.windenergyservicesusa.com/careers)

More information on WES is available on the company website at http://www.windenergyservicesusa.com. An informative presentation on the economic benefits of preventative maintenance for wind blades can be downloaded on the website. (Wind Blade Issues & Solutions)

Long Beach, CA (PRWEB) May 13, 2011

Starfone.net, a long distance company that provides international rates for some of the cheapest international calls from the U.S., has announced its new and improved Stardial international speed-dialing service. The new service will make it possible for Starfone customers to call their international contacts by simply dialing a local number with a 2-digit speed dial code (NO PIN required). The new system is intended to make the international dialing process more convenient for callers. The service can be accessed through any US or Canadian-registered number, and is free. Users also get 100 free Stardials and can manage their speed-dial options online at any time from their accounts.

The Starfone online pinless long distance system has been very successful, in part because of the low international calling rates, zero hidden charges and the convenience and overall cost-effectiveness of the system. With the new and improved Stardial speed-dialing service from Starfone.net, Starfone customers stand to enjoy a new stress-free way of dialing international contacts.

How does Stardial work? With Stardial, callers simply go online to their Starfone accounts where they can configure and manage speed dial codes for their favorite international phone numbers. Callers can assign up to 100 free Stardials and they can call these numbers from any registered phone number in the US or Canada.

Configuring a Stardial is as easy as assigning a 2-digit code e.g. 04 to an international number. This is done online within a users account. Once assigned, a user can call that international number by simply dialing a local number (1-234-567-89) and suffixing the 2-digit code. For example the user can dial 1- (last 2 digits being the speed dial code) directly without a PIN to call that international number.

Users can also save their Stardials to their home or mobile phones for one-touch dialing. For example, a user could save 1- to their regular home, office or mobile phone as a speed-dial, and simply press the required key whenever they wish to make a call.

Using the Stardial service, users can dial a local number in order to call an international number. They can then call international cheap with low Starfone international calling rates instead of the heavy international call charges experienced when calling an international number directly from their regular phone.

In addition to being significantly cheaper, the system is also hassle-free. There is no PIN to dial, and no long international number to remember – simply dial a preconfigured number (which you can save on your phone as a speed dial) from your regular phone for one-touch access to your friends, family and associates abroad.

One of the key benefits of using a speed-dialing system is that it saves time; take a call center business that has to reach a specified number of international customers in different countries a certain number of times each day to market a product or service, for example.

If the callers had to manually dial each international number and then dial a PIN to connect the call, just imagine how slow and inefficient the business will be, and workers would end up tired and frustrated after short periods of time.

But with a speed-dialing service, they could easily assign a short code to each of these high priority numbers and simply dial the code as many times as necessary to make the required number of calls – everything would be stress-free for the workers and more productive for the business.

Another key benefit of a speed-dialing service is increased productivity, since more work can be completed in less time, and with fewer resources. Businesses possibly stand to profit the most from this truly effective service offering from Starfone.net.

For the ordinary caller, the chief benefit is the convenience of the system. A frequent international caller who has to dial a long international number and a PIN with every call will easily end up frustrated with the service in the long run, but a speed-dialing solution eliminates the hassle and introduces convenience and a higher degree of flexibility to the process.

It is clear that the new and improved Stardial service from Starfone presents a simplified calling solution that takes away the stress from frequent international dialing and introduces comfort and flexibility, while making the international calling process more suitable for business operations. The new Stardial one-touch international speed-dialing service promises to be a big success with Starfone customers worldwide, who will no doubt enjoy the convenient and time-saving features of the system.

Call your international favorites in over 300 countries worldwide with a one-touch Stardial, and experience the convenience and flexibility of this innovative long distance calling solution from Starfone.net. Also get the best international phone rates when you call Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, Sudan, Iran, Morrocco, Jordan, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia and Iraq with Starfone.net.

About Starfone

To sharpen its search, Forbes teamed up with CB Insights, a Manhattan-based data firm that tracks investment in high-growth private companies. With $ 650,000 in grants from the National Science Foundation, CB has developed complex software called Mosaic that mines myriad online sources (from press releases and social networks to job boards and court filings) to come up with one, algorithmically derived score that measures a private companys health. Forbes married Mosaics data-crunching with old-fashioned reporting to assemble a list of rising stars with bright growth prospects.

I am extremely proud of the hard work and dedication of the entire e-Cycle team to provide unparalleled service for our clients, said Christopher Irion, founder and CEO of e-Cycle.

Costa Mesa, CA (PRWEB) December 01, 2011

ScheduleMAX.com, a new online scheduling and payment processing company for appointment driven businesses, aims to save service providers an hour a day and increase their revenue by 10-30%. The cloud-based software offers service providers such as hair stylists, massage therapists, estheticians, fitness trainers, counselors and more the opportunity to have a virtual schedule they can see anywhere they have Internet access. Their customers can book appointments online 24/7 and receive automatic confirmations and reminders via email and text.

We see more and more customers want to book appointments online and after hours. They dont want to wait until someone is open or to play phone tag to book an appointment, says Natalie Eckdahl, Chief of Customer Love and Operations. This is the NOW generation.

In fact, it was based out of her own desire to book appointments online that Natalie, an MBA graduate from Southern Methodist University in Marketing and Entrepreneurship, encouraged her husband, a software developer, to team with her to create a solution. I love to organize and plan my schedule in advance. On Sunday evenings, I review my work and personal appointments for the week and that is when I might remember I need to schedule a hair cut. My salon is not open on Sunday or Monday, so I cant make an appointment until Tuesday. By then, I am in the midst of my busy week and forget to make an appointment. My hair stylist has now lost revenue for that week and instead of seeing me every 6 weeks, ends up seeing me every 8-9 weeks. Because it is inconvenient for me to book an appointment, I end up booking on average 3 fewer appointments a year which results in 30% less revenue for my hair stylist.

The service providers using ScheduleMAX.com do not sit behind a computer all day, thus they are looking for a solution that is simple for them and their customers. We used the latest technology to create an easy to use, but feature rich software that anyone can set-up in a matter of minutes. ScheduleMAX was designed from the ground up to be accessed via the Internet and to work optimally on mobile devices, says Mark Eckdahl, Chief Evangelist.

Customers appreciate the ability to have an instant web presence through our free public profile page or to embed a Book Now button into their own business website, says Natalie. We also can integrate payment processing so that service providers can easily enforce their cancellations policies and do scheduling and payment all in one place.

The ScheduleMAX team is excited to help other entrepreneurs. We wanted to create a company that helps others grow their businesses. Our team has worked tirelessly over the last year to accomplish that goal, says Mark.

ScheduleMAX.com offers a 30-day free trial that does not require a credit card. Following the free trial, the software is $ 25/month for up to 5 employees. See how easy it is to get started by watching our demo video.

About ScheduleMAX.com

ScheduleMAX.com is a new online scheduling and payment processing software used by service providers in a variety of industries to allow their customers to book appointments online 24/7. Service providers such as hair stylists, massage therapists, estheticians, fitness trainers, counselors, financial professionals, mobile business owners and more can access their calendar from their computers, smart phones and tablets.

Vancouver, BC (PRWEB) November 29, 2011

Last month, FingerMarketing, a North Vancouver based social media and web development company launched its Bronze, Silver and Gold plans aimed at small businesses that do not have an effective social media presence.

A lot of small businesses have a Facebook page or a Twitter account that are never used, explained Alykhan Virani, FingerMarketings founder. He added, “These (Facebook or Twitter) tools were probably configured by some nephew or employee, and I am sure the owner doesnt have the time or a clue what to do or does not have the patience to get involved.

Alykhan got his idea after spending a number of months in his neighborhood, interviewing small business owners about how much they used social media. He was very disappointed at how small businesses were losing out on business due to their lack of social media involvement. He also discovered that 97% of the small business owners did not have or understand what a mobile website was and how advantageous it was to have one.

As a result he founded FingerMarketing, a company that combines social media and mobile websites in a unique and innovative way unlike anything currently offered in the market.

The company offers its clients a Bronze, Silver or Gold plan.

The BRONZE plan is the basic package. It includes a mobile website with 10 pages and a Facebook and Twitter icon that when pressed, takes the user to the business Facebook wall and Twitter feed. Clients get an ad free site, a .mobi domain, analytics, 24/7 support and a redirect script which automatically sends the user to the mobile website if browsing from a mobile phone, or to the PC website if browsing from a PC or laptop. The Bronze package is similar to what is currently being offered by a majority of the mobile website developers.

The SILVER plan contains all the features of the Bronze plan and adds an extra page on the mobile website in which to display a menu, price list or describe a service. The client also gets a Facebook fan page with i-frames. The Facebook page effectively becomes the business’ website and marketing tool. Today, Facebook is the best place to reach shoppers as of those online shoppers who engage in social media, 80% use Facebook. The fan page is a very powerful tool that can be used by the business to effectively engage with its customers.

The GOLD plan includes all the features of the Bronze and Silver plan – the mobile website and Facebook fan page – and includes another innovative feature currently unavailable anywhere else. Because many small businesses owners are either too busy or unfamiliar with how to post or what to post on their social media platforms, in this plan, FingerMarketing posts a specified number of Facebook posts and Twitter tweets per month for them.

Silver and Gold plan subscribers can also opt for a Gowalla, Yelp, Foursquare and Google Places account, which is configured and subscribed for them by FingerMarketing. This level of location based social media integration offered clearly defines the difference between FingerMarketing and other social media and mobile website developing companies.

FingerMarketing Inc is a Canadian based mobile website and social media optimization company. The CEO Alykhan Virani built his first professional Web site in 1998 and began working professionally in building Websites and SEO since 1998. He has developed and implemented web strategies from Fortune 500 Companies to small local businesses.

(PRWEB) November 22, 2011

A recently published report from Internet Marketing Services has mentioned that the recent software update for Nokia N9 will certainly provide a competitive edge to the product. The research was conducted on the basis of consumer opinion and a comparative study of all the leading smartphones in the market.

This update will provide a lot more features to a phone that is already known for its amazing range of features. It may be recalled that this model from Nokia is brand new in the market and is yes to be introduced in many countries including Canada. This new model from Nokia is known for its superior user interface which is completely different from that found in any other Smartphones.

(PRWEB) November 23, 2011

A recent market research conducted by Internet Marketing Services has indicated that Nokia N9 is going to be a strong competitor of Apple iPhone 4S when it releases globally. The research was conducted considering all the features of the two leading Smartphones in the market. This newly Nokia N9 is not yet available in Canada, and mobile users are eagerly waiting for the Smartphone to arrive with phenomenal features.

The Apple iPhone 4s was released in the Canadian market during the month of October. Market experts are suggesting that comparable features and price will make them close competitors in the Canadian market once Nokia N9 releases in Canada.

“Nokia N9 is undoubtedly the best looking Smartphone that Nokia has released in the last few years” Says Mr.Bonner, “The handset provides amazing durability, thanks to the strong polymer body. The manufacturers have claimed that scratches or dents will not show up because of the scratch resistant polycarbonate casing. Nokia N9 is the first ever fully touch Smartphone that Nokia has manufactured. There is no keypad or button in the front, and the volume and the lock button are on the right side.”

“On the other hand, Apple iPhone 4S has mostly retained the looks of iPhone 4. The built quality is great, but the phone is not as good looking as Nokia N9″ Says Mr. Bonner. In terms of functionality both the phones are packed with state of the art features that are any mobile users dream. It is very difficult to choose between the MeeGo operating system in Nokia N9 and Apple iOS 5 in Apple iPhone 4S.

Both the handsets are equipped with highly advanced 8 Mega pixel cameras with a flurry of features. Apple iPhone 4S holds a slight edge with regards to the pixel density and display resolution. Whereas, Nokia N9 has better feature in terms of its RAM and GPS functionality. Mr. Bonner Says, “Only time will show which one of these two great Smartphones will prove to be the smarter.”
