<p style="text-align: center; ; overflow: hidden; color: #999999;">Linda Taddonio, Chief Ecommerce Strategy Officer, Insite Software</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
                  &#13;</p>
<p class="releaseDateline">(PRWEB) February 15, 2012 </p>
<p> Insite Software, a leading provider of B2B and B2C ecommerce platforms and shipping solutions, today announced that Linda Taddonio, Founder and Chief Ecommerce Strategy Officer of Insite Software, will be leading three sessions on B2B ecommerce strategies at an Infor distribution user event in San Antonio, Texas, on February 16, 2012 at 2:45 PM and on February 17, 2012 at 8 AM and 2:45 PM.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>“B2B ecommerce has a unique set of design and functionality requirements that are not inherent in B2C ecommerce,” stated Taddonio. “Considering these requirements when beginning an ecommerce initiative is essential to creating a successful and comprehensive ecommerce strategy. Too often a B2B ecommerce initiative is dismissed as a lesser version of a B2C ecommerce site rather than its own complex entity. Ecommerce platforms are typically designed for B2C applications, with only a few true B2B ecommerce platforms available. My goal is to ensure that the Infor distribution market understands these considerations and is equipped to choose the ecommerce solution that best meets their B2B needs.” </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Insite Software’s InsiteCommerce is the leading B2B and B2C ecommerce platform for enterprise organizations in manufacturing, distribution, and retail. Built with the unique workflows and business rules of these industries in mind, InsiteCommerce provides deep integration with leading ERP systems including Infor SX.enterprise, Infor FACTS, and Infor A+. </p>

<p>&#13;<br />
                  &#13;</p>
<p class="releaseDateline">Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) February 18, 2012 </p>
<p> The global recession put the brakes on the Car Rental industry, but rental agencies have slowly gotten back into gear as travel demand increased. Air travelers, the industry&#8217;s primary revenue source, were staying put amid the economic uncertainty, poor income growth, rising unemployment and tighter corporate travel budgets of recent years. “In response,” says IBISWorld industry analyst Nima Samadi, “operators cut expenses and searched for revenue growth separate from airports.” Air travel only began to recover in 2010, and the industry&#8217;s future looks brighter than its immediate past, though rising gas prices may slow the industry&#8217;s recovery. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Revenue is expected to fall from its peak of $  31.0 billion in 2007 at a rate of 0.3% over the five years to 2012. Most of this decline happened in 2009, when the industry&#8217;s key external drivers (the number of air travelers, per capita disposable income and corporate profitability) all weakened. Reflecting the Car Rental industry’s struggles, operator concentration has increased over the past five years. This increase is attributable to merger and acquisition activity by the industry&#8217;s major companies. For example, Enterprise Rent-A-Car acquired Vanguard Car Rental (which operated National and Alamo) in mid-2007, and Hertz acquired Advantage Rent a Car in April 2009. Other major companies in the industry include Avis Budget Group and Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>These large companies enjoy significant marketing budgets and market power that grant national brand recognition, relationships with airlines and hotels and other advantages smaller companies cannot match. However, even these major players were forced to change in the face of the recession. “Car rental companies adapted to the difficult economic environment by aggressively cutting expenses and searching for new markets,” says Samadi. Operators reduced head counts, closed unprofitable locations, decreased the size of their rental fleets and purchased fewer new cars in 2009. Some companies expanded into off-airport markets, including insurance replacement and car sharing, while others turned to acquisitions to penetrate market segments such the leisure market, which is viewed by industry insiders as the segment with the most growth potential. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Demand and revenue are expected to increase as air travel rates continue to grow in 2012. This growth is attributable to a rise in air travel, underpinned by rising personal income and more generous corporate travel budgets. However, rising fuel prices and the corresponding increase in airfares threaten this forecast. For more information, visit IBISWorld’s Car Rental report in the US industry page.</p>

<p style="text-align: center; ; overflow: hidden; color: #999999;">My City Venue Homepage</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
                  &#13;</p>
<p class="releaseDateline">London, United Kingdom (PRWEB UK) 17 February 2012 </p>
<p> Serial entrepreneur William Sachiti and businessman Ronald Ndoro have joined forces to launch My City Venue, a new website that will revolutionise how Britain’s partygoers organise their nightlife and how venues and night clubs communicate with them.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>It can be said that if you want to go out and enjoy your cities nightlife, you will probably have to troll the web visiting many different websites. On these websites you will find different offers and booking options for tickets, tables and guest list or in many cases will have to go to the venue first then queue up before having to pay for entry at the door. My City Venue seeks to change all this.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>The project’s main goal is to simply unify the process of planning a night out by offering a single platform to access all venues’ and nightclubs’ services. This means users’ fruitless online search times will be considerably reduced. A user will be able to look for as well as instantly book tickets, guest lists, table, entry queue jumps and offers for thousands of venues across the UK but all on one website. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>The thing that makes My City Venue unique among other websites which offer night club related services is that any reservations or bookings made on My City Venue are actually being made directly with the venue. There is no middle man or promoter in this process. My City Venue achieves this by giving every venue and club operator their own intelligent control panel from which the venue operators can manage their bookings and post new events, tickets, tables or deals. This allows for nearly instantaneous bookings confirmation for users.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>If a user was to make a booking or reservation on My City Venue, the confirmation from the venue is generated into a QR code and is sent to the users mobile phone or email. This QR code can then be scanned at the venue using a My City Venue supplied iPad. My City Venue users will soon forget what it was like to queue outside a club in the inclement British weather!</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>A similar format has already been tried in the restaurant industry where OpenTable has been operating, providing a real-time booking facility to over 250 million restaurant goers. My City Venue takes this concept even further by having developed a unique platform specifically for the night life, venues and events industry.  </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>My City venue also looks to make physical leaflets a thing of the past by offering ‘Marketplace’ &#8211; where venues can advertise their offers &#8211; by city, venue, date and what the user wants to do. These are then presented in an easy to understand digital format and users can instantly claim the offers with their smart phones.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>The concept was trialled during the summer of 2011 with a few night clubs in London, including the high-end Supper Club based in Notting Hill. During this trial, the website presented a turnover of £80K worth of sales for a single venue in a six week period. This concept trial allowed William Sachiti and Ronald Ndoro to continue to develop the concept and scale up the project. After 14 months of development and an initial investment with a services cost of £100K, My City Venue will be fully launched in the spring of 2012. The project’s been the focus of attention for curious eyes and, even before it has been launched, already has over 120K subscribers.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>

                  &#13;</p>
<p class="releaseDateline">London, UK and Toronto, Canada (PRWEB UK) 13 February 2012 </p>
<p> YESpay International Limited has launched StoreManager, a Mobile Payments App, supporting Magnetic Swipe and Near Field Communication (NFC) Contactless card payments. Mobile smartphones based secure innovative payments solutions are now proliferating and the main driving forces are because more smartphones now have high-speed Internet connectivity, easy-to-use User Interfaces and NFC contactless reader capability as standard.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>StoreManager App is available for Android, BlackBerry and iPhone smartphones and is in effect a mobile version of a point-of-sale card payments device for mobile merchants. Merchants can now apply for a payment account for just £9.99 per month with YESpay to process smartphone based card present or not present payments. They can also make recurring payments using pre-stored card tokens for regular customers. Online web registration process is available at http://www.yes-pay.com with KYC (know-your-customer) checks via external credit checking companies such as Creditsafe and CallCredit.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>“Small, big, home-based or on-the-road businesses can use Mobile StoreManager from YESpay to process mobile payments whenever and wherever via smartphones. Merchants can now access detailed transaction reports, monitor fraud, control set-up and distribution of e-coupons, promotions and location-based-services and perform sale or refund card transactions, anywhere, anytime!” said Supriya Rocha, SVP of Global Marketing at YESpay.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>StoreManager App has the following simple user functions:&#13;<br />
<br />Manager: Merchant and store details and alerts and inbox messages&#13;<br />
<br />POS: Keyed, tokenised, mag-swipe and NFC contactless card payments&#13;<br />
<br />Reports: Merchant transactions reports with daily, weekly and monthly summaries&#13;<br />
<br />My Best: Top 10 stores and point of sale devices&#13;<br />
<br />Promotions: Discount coupons and promotions management</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>YESpay EMBOSS Payment Service host disseminates alert messages to the StoreManager App when potential fraud events are detected, e.g. high-level of refunds over a period or if a card is used repeatedly for multiple refunds in a day, week and month period. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>StoreManager Mobile App is compliant with the following industry standards: Contactless PayPass and PayWave card schemes, PA-DSS and PCI-DSS security standards. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Mobile Internet (3G/4G) optimised payment protocols are used to communicate payment authorisation and capture messages with the YESpay EMBOSS payment service. EMBOSS in turn connects to major European, UK, Irish, US and Canadian Acquirers to authorise and clear payments. The complete authorisation process generally takes 2 to 4 seconds.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>MasterCard PayPass – Magstripe and Visa PayWave-MSD contactless chip payments use chip authentication process performed between the chip embedded in the card and the Card Issuer. The security is built around a dynamic Card Validation Code (CVC3) generated by the PayPass/PayWave card using its diversified secret key and Application Transaction Counter (ATC). The Smartphone requires a standard NFC reader.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Magnetic swipe card transactions are performed via a secure swipe reader connected to the smartphone jack. The swipe reader encrypts the swipe card track data securely using its diversified secret key and this card data is decrypted at the EMBOSS data centre. Hence card data is protected via point-to-point encryption. This type of transaction is performed when payment card does not have a contactless chip.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Keyed entry is used as a fall-back position if NFC contactless and magnetic swipe reader payment is not possible and the merchant captures the cardholder, CVV2 security code, Postcode number and signature and verifies the signature against that at the back of the card.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Mobile App Integration</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>StoreManager Web Services assist merchants in building four cornerstones of their multi-channel payment strategy: customer affinity, card payment risk mitigation, enhancing business performance and building customer trust.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>In addition to web services, there is also a ‘Merchant Integration API’ which provides a local device level way for merchant mobile commerce applications to integrate with the Mobile StoreManager card payment functions. This API is used to process card-present (keyed, mag-swipe and NFC contactless) and card-not-present payments locally within the smartphone. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Merchants and mobile app developers can contact YESpay International Limited via sales(at)yes-pay(dot)com or 0871 221 9510 to request integration guides and obtain more information about the YESpay mobile payments strategy.</p>
