Yellowfin was announced the Ventana Research 2011 Leadership Award Winner for LI, while Macquarie University was recognized as the Ventana Research 2011 Leadership Award Leader in LI. Yellowfin is the first Australia-based software vendor to win a Ventana Research Leadership Award. Macquarie University is also the first Australia-based university to take home a Ventana Research Leadership Award.

The awards recognized the Yellowfin and Macquarie University Business Intelligence (BI) implementation as the best 2010/11 worldwide example of LI and the most likely to produce significant business value heading into 2012.

The Yellowfin Macquarie University joint analytics program demonstrates how strategically analyzing location-based data can deliver organizations previously unheralded operational insight, said Mark Smith, CEO and Chief Research Officer, Ventana Research. Yellowfin has helped Macquarie University empower business and academic decision-makers with the information needed to underpin effective resource, infrastructure and strategic planning as well as student acquisition initiatives.

The 2011 global awards were open to any organization and vendor that had delivered a BI implementation during 2010/11. The awards recognize individuals and organizations that have advanced business leadership and achieved outstanding business outcomes through the use of technology.

Award submissions, judged by Ventana Researchs world-renowned industry research team, were scored according to their use of people, processes, information and technology, the best practices developed and the projects business impacts in 2010/11 as well as the projected value in 2012.

Macquarie University Information Director, Dr Neil Fraser, said that Yellowfins Location Intelligence technology is enabling Macquarie to analyze large location-based datasets to uncover questions, answers and opportunities at a micro and macro level.

We can now accurately map where our students are coming from and develop effective marketing strategies accordingly, said Fraser. For example, we can monitor student intake around the world or traffic flow around the campus. We can even analyze where our funding comes from based on locality the opportunities are limitless.”

Widespread self-service access to reporting and analytics is vital for our success as a university,” said Fraser. “Being able to visualize our data is key to discovering these types of problems and opportunities and Yellowfin delivers that.

Yellowfin CEO, Glen Rabie, said that the internationally recognized award acknowledged the capacity of Macquarie Universitys BI implementation to improve the quality of teaching and student services in an era of greater competition.

Macquarie University is utilizing reporting and analytics to create considerable competitive advantage in the Australian and international higher education markets, said Rabie. Being able to identify where current and prospective students are coming from, and how the location of university resources and infrastructure impacts the quality of learning, will continue to deliver Macquarie University significant business value.

The Yellowfin Macquarie University implementation also won the Peoples Choice Award at 2011s inaugural Excellence in Business Intelligence Awards.

DigiCity Unveils Social Game App Where Players Earn Instant Rewards While Completing Fun Missions on their iPhones at Restaurants, Bars and Popular Venues

Montreal (PRWEB) May 08, 2012

DigiCity.me is unveiling its social game app for the iPhone where players recreate the real world and earn rewards on their smartphones. Players complete fun photo and video missions on their iPhones to win rewards and compete with players in other cities to digitize their city the fastest.

DigiCity is a first of its kind real-world mobile game where players capture, record and share on their social networks whats happening at the places they frequent such as bars, restaurants, retailers, sports events, spas etc.

We have created a way for businesses to engage with their customers in real time and to thank them for their social word-of-mouth and the value of their social networks of friends, says Sean Morrow, DigiCity CEO. Everyone shares pictures and posts of where they are and what they are doing. Until now there has been no venue for businesses to capture this content on their own social pages, engage with their customers thereafter and reward customers for doing so. DigiCity.me is gamifying social content and, at the same time, creating exciting marketing opportunities for businesses.

Players earn points for completing easy and fun missions like taking a picture with a bartender at a restaurant, or posting a short video proposing a toast with friends. This user-generated content is shared on personal social networks and these real-time testimonials are simultaneously posted on that businesss social media pages. Previously, this content would have been posted on an individuals social network pages alone.

Business owners can post any kind of custom mission. Some include those that happen when the customer is in store, like take a picture of whats happening now. Retailers like clothing stores and flower shops, are also able to create missions that generate valuable social word of mouth content after the store visit. For example: asking players to take pictures wearing the clothes they bought earlier in the day or to capture video reactions when friends receive flowers.

Participating players then earn rewards for the marketing content they share. These rewards include 2-for-1 specials, percentage off discounts and free products or services. Some bars, for example, are offering free cover or advance VIP entrance (front of the line) for patrons who complete a mission outside the bar. Businesses can set reward expirations for same day redemption or for any duration they choose.

Imagine standing in line to get into a bar. You check out DigiCity and discover that by posting a picture of your group and making a comment about the club you earn a VIP entrance instant reward. You complete the mission like shouting out on video with your friends – and the doorman escorts you in, added Morrow. The bar also benefits because you have shared with your friends on Facebook and Twitter and youve provided original content that gets posted on the bars Facebook page. The social network content is no longer just the messages created from the business owner but its their customers voices as well.

DigiCity.me participants also have the exciting collective challenge of digitizing their own city by claiming the cool places where they hang out and adding them to the DigiCity world. Players that do not redeem points for instant rewards have the opportunity to bank points for future redemption in a future points store. For more information visit DigiCity.me

About DigiCity:

DigiCity automates real-time, engaging social marketing between businesses, their customers and their customers’ networks by delivering platform functionality that enables mobile access, marketing task assignment, content creation and distribution, rewards and redemption tracking.

DigiCity is a casual game where players recreate the real world from player smartphones. People complete photo and video missions as they compete to digitize their city before others do their own. Through the DigiCity quest, players create social word-of-mouth content that depicts a real-time window into what is happening at different venues. This content is shared on personal and business social networks simultaneously. A rewards system enables players to win instant rewards in exchange for participation and for marketing the businesses while completing challenges. Players also act as lead generators during play as they recruit businesses for participation.

Tulsa, OK (Vocus) November 18, 2009

Despite the recession, Just Between Friends (JBF), the nation’s leading maternity and children’s consignment sales event company, is growing – with sales up more than 30 percent across the country.

In 2008, Just Between Friends gross sales topped $ 6.8 million and the company is on track to top $ 10 million in sales for 2009. With job layoffs at an all time high and the recession, families are searching for ways to save and earn money. Many of these families have turned to the consignment industry. Consignment not only provides savings but also an avenue to launch a successful business.

Just Between Friends is an unusual business model in that franchise owners have two to three big sales events a year. Local families sign up as consignors and sell their new and gently used children’s and maternity items. Consignors set prices for their own items and earn up to 75 percent of the sales, while the local franchise owners provide the venue and promote the sale. Consignors receive their check within two weeks of the event.

Just Between Friends’ growth is part of a national trend. The resale industry is reporting a 35 percent increase in sales for this past year, according to the National Association of Resale and Thrift Stores. Just Between Friends offers tens of thousands of families the opportunity to earn money, by selling new and gently used items.

About Just Between Friends

Just Between Friends was founded in 1997 in a living room in Tulsa, Oklahoma when founders Shannon Wilburn and Daven Tackett invited 20 of their friends to be consignors at their sale. The idea caught on and grew each season in Tulsa. In 2003, they formed Just Between Friends Franchise Systems, Inc. and began selling franchises. They have 97 franchises in 20 states with 10 more under development. They have received national attention on several outlets including ABC News, Good Morning America, CNN, Inside Edition and CNBC’s The Big Idea. They have also been featured in The Seattle Times, Sacramento Bee, LA Times, Daily Oklahoman and broadcast outlets in dozens of cities across the country including Dallas, Houston, Minneapolis, Denver and Seattle.
