All Eyes are on France as its Online Gambling Market Opens Up - Euro 1.7 Billion Market Expected in 2015

All Eyes are on France as its Online Gambling Market Opens Up - Euro 1.7 Billion Market Expected in 2015

New landmark report about the French gambling market presents unique insights, forecasts, and in-depth analyses

London/Munich (PRWEB) September 25, 2009 -- Currently, the gambling industry has its eyes on France, and many operators expect a boost for their business from the opening of the French online gambling market that is scheduled for 2010. Their optimism seems to be justified now that the draft of the legal bill opening up FranceIs online betting and poker market is just meters away from adoption; additionally the online gambling market is expected to grow to Euro 1.7 billion (gross revenues) by 2015. The consulting firm MECN and law firm Ulys have compiled a new landmark report that offers an unprecedented in-depth analysis of the French gambling market.

Liberalisation of interactive/online betting and poker markets in spring/summer 2010

One of the key aspects of the planned liberalisation, which will probably take effect in summer 2010, will be the opening of the interactive/online sports and horse race betting markets as well as of online poker. Although the draft regulation will likely be adapted, and many issues (e.g., tax schemes) are still criticised by many operators, the strategies of most operators clearly target France. As one representative of an online gambling heavyweight put it: "We will enter the French market as soon as possible - no matter what it takes."

According to MECN's new research, ca. 80% of the gambling operators and experts surveyed consider the French market relevant or even very relevant for their future business - this testifies to the hope the entire industry places in this upcoming market.

The focus is on online sports betting and poker - more than 2/3 of operators surveyed want to obtain an online poker license

The operators will focus on online poker and sports betting because they expect the French market to outstrip even the success story of the Italian online poker and betting market. Despite the many unresolved issues of the upcoming liberalisation, 77% of the operators surveyed in MECN's study are looking to obtain a French online poker license. On the other hand, horse race betting monopolist PMU may be able to breathe a sigh of relief because horse race betting licenses are not nearly as popular.

France will most likely become one of the key online gambling markets worldwide - Euro 1.7 billion market (gross revenue) expected by 2015

The pure facts make the French gambling market (online and land-based) a compelling target: In terms of turnover/sales, the total licensed gambling market (incl. casinos) in France was ca. Euro 70 billion in 2008. In terms of gross revenue, the market achieved Euro 8.5 billion in 2008. While the horse race betting market has a long tradition in France, sports betting and poker are not as developed and thus offer great potential for future growth.

MECN expects that in terms of gross revenues (sales/turnover less payout of prizes and winnings) the French interactive/online gambling market will grow by a factor of nearly six from currently ca. Euro 300 million to ca. Euro 1.7 billion by 2015. In terms of sales/turnover, the market will grow from currently ca. Euro 1 billion to ca. Euro 18 billion by 2015. As Martin Oelbermann, director of MECN, stresses: "The French market will give the global online gambling market a new push and develop into one of the key markets worldwide with online poker paving the way."

MECN's new report about the French gambling market

MECN's new report on the French gambling market includes an in-depth analysis of the market, the planned liberalisation, forecasts, and unique results of a survey of more than 50 industry experts C for more information visit www.france-gambling.mecn.net

DOMA Transforms Healthcare IT with Increased Security While Reducing Cost -- iCodeRx/iDocs/iCharts 6.0 Debuts at AHIMA National Convention

DOMA Transforms Healthcare IT with Increased Security While Reducing Cost -- iCodeRx/iDocs/iCharts 6.0 Debuts at AHIMA National Convention

DOMA Technologies has launched the latest version of its revolutionary cost-cutting software. Newly developed upgrades to iCodeRx, iDocs, and iCharts now allow healthcare organizations to fully integrate and streamline their records and coding processes, while providing the highest security possible to patient information.

Virginia Beach, VA (PRWEB) - DOMA Technologies (www.domaonline.com) has launched the latest version of its revolutionary cost-cutting software. Newly developed upgrades to iCodeRx, iDocs, and iCharts now allow healthcare organizations to fully integrate and streamline their records and coding processes, while providing the highest security possible to patient information.

DOMA Technologies' success comes from helping hospitals, physician practices, and other health care providers turn space-eating paper records into paperless digital files for easy access and retrieval. "Our customers are realizing millions of dollars in recovered revenue and savings while improving patient care because of the intelligent and easy to use software we have developed, and the hands-on scanning and document services we provide," says Ian Checcio, DOMA's Vice President of Sales.

The users of iCodeRx, iDocs, and iCharts, drove the enhancements of version 6.0 which include a totally revamped interface, a powerful set of workflow tools, and patient information security.

"We are now moving from a document and records management solution to what can best be characterized as a collaborative health information platform," says Checcio. "By streamlining access and integrating information to EMRs, we are able to help organizations reduce overall costs, decrease labor hours, and capture lost revenue, while increasing the quality of patient care."

DOMA will unveil its new products at the American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA) National Convention in Grapevine, TX.

    

It's easy to see why, for the second year in a row, Inc. Magazine has named DOMA to its list of the 500 fastest growing companies in the nation. Health systems nationwide are failing to provide the highest quality of care, to bill for millions of dollars in services rendered, or to appeal denied reimbursements because of backlogs of patient charts that had not been forwarded to medical records departments in a timely manner. Using DOMA's ultra secure, web-based system companies are able to find and route information quickly, while dramatically reducing paper use, physical storage space, and labor hours associated with managing paper documents.

Inova Mount Vernon Hospital in Alexandria, VA, one of five hospitals in the Inova Health System, has successfully utilized the eDOMA web based technology to facilitate their home based Coding function.

"In July 2008, the hospital relocated the Medical Records Department in an adjacent office complex outside of the physical hospital building, which brought new challenges to clinicians needing timely access to the medical record post discharge. This relocation gave the MR Department an opportunity to provide the Medical Staff and ancillary clinicians with access to the scanned patient encounters via secure web access. In conjunction with the technical resources at DOMA we provided several onsite training sessions to @ 80 clinicians on the navigational ease of locating patient records for post care f/u and clinical review needs. The MR Department has seen a significant decrease (80%) in record pulls and phone calls to accommodate clinical record access. While we settled for the inevitable relocation, we are now able to focus on other medical record functions more expeditiously."

"Our product saves millions of trees, gallons of water, and barrels of oil. So when you develop a product that improves productivity, enhances the bottom line, saves a natural resource and allows professionals to work from home while focusing on their core services, how can anyone lose? Something else to watch out for is our 'Giving Program to Charity.' Everyone will want to be part of that." says Leticia Feliciano, CEO of DOMA Technologies.

About DOMA: DOMA Technologies is a privately owned Virginia Limited Liability Corporation and provides Software as a Service (SaaS) -- document management applications, Remote Medical Coding and services aimed across multiple vertical markets with a focus on Healthcare. DOMA specializes in affordable conversions of hardcopy paper documents into easily stored, readily accessible industry standard digital images.

Matt Bacak's Blogging Again

Matt Bacak's Blogging Again

On the heels of a long hiatus, Internet marketing legend Matt Bacak is making blogging a priority once again. "The Powerful Promoter" is committed to frequently updating his blog with fresh content that has genuine value to his readers and followers.

Duluth, GA (PRWEB) September 25, 2009 -- Internet marketing legend Matt Bacak (http://www.ezinearticles.com/?expert=Matt_Bacak) is back with a newfound commitment to his blog. On a near daily basis, "The Powerful Promoter" has been updating his once-neglected Weblog with fresh content that provides genuine value to the reader. Recent topics have included Why Facebook Marketing (http://www.mattbacak.com/mattbacakblogs/why-facebook-marketing-is-a-must-for-your-internet-marketing-arsenal-of-tools/) Is a Must for Your Internet Marketing Arsenal of Tools and Marketing on Twitter Increases Visibility - And Profits. Interspersed among the informative articles are special offers Internet marketers will not want to miss, like Download the Free Google Cash System and A Billion Dollar Education Here. Web-based entrepreneurs who want to ensure they don't miss out on a single one of Bacak's tantalizing blog posts can sign up for updates via email or feed reader online at http://feeds.feedburner.com/mattbacak/Qpgh.

A pioneer in embracing Internet marketing technology, Bacak published his first blog post on Wednesday, November 10, 2004. Just four months prior to that date, the U.S. National Institute for Technology & Liberal Education (NITL) identified a mere 655,631 blogs on the Web, with a note that around 30 percent of them were inactive.

But blogging wasn't the only social marketing strategy Bacak entered at its infancy. On Sunday, December 12, 2004, his holiday gift to the Internet marketing community was his first podcast. At that time, Google searches on the word "podcasts" numbered in the mere double digits.

Despite being so far ahead of his time in harnessing the Web's technological advances, Bacak almost became a statistic. According to a June 2009 "New York Times" article citing Technorati data, "only 7.4 million out of the 133 million blogs the company tracks had been updated in the past 120 days. That translates to 95 percent of blogs being essentially abandoned." Because of his past hectic traveling schedule and an all-consuming focus on a few of his own Internet marketing businesses, Bacak's blog was on the fast track to extinction.

Now he's back, better than ever, with new posts being intuitively divided between "Matt's Offers" (http://www.mattbacak.com/category/mattbacakoffers/) and "Matt Bacak's Blog" (http://www.mattbacak.com/category/mattbacakblogs/), which is devoted to general topic discussions. These changes, however, are just the beginning for Bacak.

"I have a lot of cool things planned," he promises. "For a while, I pretty much had only an RSS feed that I populated from my emails. Not anymore! Now I'm updating my blog like crazy with genuinely good stuff. If it's Internet marketing related and you want to know how to do it, you'll find it covered on my blog."

Despite giving away all of this useful and valuable information for free, Bacak isn't greedy with it. Provided they use the trackback link to the article, he encourages readers to freely share his blog posts.

Barry Schuler, Former Chairman and CEO of AOL, Joins Board of Directors of KnowledgeWorks

Barry Schuler, Former Chairman and CEO of AOL, Joins Board of Directors of KnowledgeWorks

Entrepreneur Barry Schuler, former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of America Online Inc., has joined the Board of Directors of KnowledgeWorks, President and CEO Chad Wick announced today.

Cincinnati (Vocus) September 24, 2009 -- Entrepreneur Barry Schuler, former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of America Online Inc., has joined the Board of Directors of KnowledgeWorks, President and CEO Chad Wick announced today.

“As KnowledgeWorks continues to lead the way in developing innovative high schools, we are fortunate to have Barry join our Board,” Wick said. “He is truly a visionary, and he shares KnowledgeWorks’ desire to transform America’s high schools through the use of technology and project-based learning to help students acquire 21st-century skills.”

Schuler’s appointment to the board follows the integration of the New Tech Network (formerly New Technology Foundation), or New Tech, as part of KnowledgeWorks, which develops and implements innovative and effective approaches to high school education in the United States. Schuler was formerly Board Chairman of the New Technology Foundation.

Over the next two years, KnowledgeWorks’ goal is to expand the system of learner-centered New Tech High Schools nationwide from 40 to more than 200.

“I’m looking forward to working with KnowledgeWorks, because the Foundation clearly is leading the United States in changing the way high school students learn,” Schuler said. “We are well-positioned to help the nation’s leaders understand what 21st-century high school education looks like. And we are prepared to offer our unique approach to public high school education to communities nationwide who are demanding innovation in their schools.”

KnowledgeWorks Board Chairman Joseph P. Tomain said Schuler’s appointment to the board will enhance the board’s strategic focus. “Barry is always looking forward, asking what we can do to make sure the next generation of students is equipped with the tools they need to succeed in a 21st-century economy. That’s the kind of foresight that can only strengthen our board as we move forward,” Tomain said.

Schuler is currently Chairman and CEO of Raydiance Corp., developer of the world’s first commercial-grade, ultra-fast laser, and is managing director of the venture capital firm Draper Fisher Jurveston.

In 2002, he founded the Blue Oak School, an independent K-8 learner-centered school in Napa, Calif., where students are encouraged to explore an integrated liberal arts curriculum through experiences that develop understanding rather than mere memorization.

As President and Chief Executive Officer of Cricket Software, he helped develop color graphics software for Apple Computer’s Macintosh brand. Schuler also co-founded Medior Inc., a multimedia development company that helped launch 2Market, considered to be the first rich media online shopping service. However, Schuler is best known as an Internet pioneer whose team at AOL helped make the Internet more accessible to millions of consumers.

Schuler grew up in West New York, New Jersey and graduated from Rutgers University with a Bachelor’s degree in psychology. He is a member of the Rutgers Hall of Distinguished Alumni. Schuler lives in Napa, Calif., with his wife, Tracy, where they co-own Meteor Vineyard.

KnowledgeWorks Foundation (www.kwfdn.org) strives to be the leader in developing and implementing innovative and effective approaches to high school education in the United States. Our work primarily focuses on redesigning urban high schools, developing STEM and Early College high schools, and supporting student-centered approaches to delivering real learning and results in our schools.

Texting's Most Talked About Celebs Get a Special Delivery From Predicto

PredictoMobile™ (www.Predicto.com), the largest paid mobile community, is celebrating its 2-year anniversary by giving back to some celebrities who could use a lift. Lindsay Lohan, for instance, is one fallen star who seems to have traded Hollywood limelight for the non-stop flashbulbs of the paparazzi.

New York, NY (PRWEB) September 24, 2009 -- PredictoMobile (www.predicto.com)™ (www.Predicto.com), the largest paid mobile community, is celebrating its 2-year anniversary by giving back to some celebrities who could use a lift. Lindsay Lohan, for instance, is one fallen star who seems to have traded Hollywood limelight for the non-stop flashbulbs of the paparazzi. Lohan, Jon Gosselin and Kevin Federline, all favorite gossip rag targets are getting an early Christmas present this year in the form of Predicto's anniversary baskets.

In the past 2 years, Predicto Mobile has revolutionized the way users interact with news by allowing members to weigh in with their predictions on the latest pop culture, sports and news headlines. To celebrate their anniversary, the service is sending gift baskets as a "thank you" to some of the most talked-about celebs in Predicto's online polls. Part thoughtful, part tongue-in-cheek, the gift baskets include personalized items such as:

Lindsay Lohan

• "Get out of jail free" card

• Sleeping bag (for staking out Sam)

• John Frieda Color stay conditioner for her new sunny locks

• A car service voucher

• A DVD player for her straight to DVD video productions

• "Ban human trafficking" shirt (she does have a charitable spot, after all)

Jon Gosselin of "Jon and Kate Plus Eight"

• Rogaine

• Speedo (so he can be "that guy" at the beach)

• A little black book to keep track of all his new ladies

• Not For Tourists Guide to match his new NYC zip code

• Dr. Siegal's Cookie Diet book and weight loss plan

• Thigh Master

• Britney Spears' Greatest Hits Collection

• A Photo of dancing shoes so that he "never forgets" these days

• Dumbbell

• Hint water for those hangovers

What began as a game between Eyal Yechezkell and some of his colleagues on a 2006 Jet Blue flight has since blossomed into Predicto.com, a prediction web site that capitalizes on America's obsession with current events. Officially launched in August 2007, the site has climbed its way to the top of the mobile space, second only to Twitter as a mobile content provider--and second to none in terms of premium mobile services, according to data from Nielsen Mobile. Every day tens of thousands of participants will answer questions through their mobile phone or on Predicto.com with the chance to win amazing prizes, from the latest portable music players to state of the art flat-screen HDTVs.

"Thousands of people gather around the water cooler, go online, blog and text message each other every day to discuss what's happening in American culture," says Eyal Yechezkell CEO of Predicto Mobile. "We've taken the conversation to the next level by giving anyone the chance to predict what will happen next. And they get rewarded if they're right."

In 2009, Predicto unveiled Predicto TV, a new online show that brings the prediction experience to life by asking notable personalities what they think about the hottest topics that have everyone talking in the Predicto Mobile community. Predicto TV has recently interviewed celebrities such as Bill Hader, Kim Kardashian, Lance Bass and Mariska Hargitay and has been a fixture at red carpet events all over New York City this summer, including the 75th anniversary of the Apollo Theatre, the American Women in Radio & Television Gracie Awards Gala and the NBA Draft.

About Predicto

Following August's success of adding four clients to its roster of successfully search engine optimized clients, search engine optimization (SEO) services and Internet marketing company Cybertegic Inc, shoots two more clients to the top results of major search engines.

AffordableLED.com, leading manufacturer and distributor of wholesale LED signs can be found in the top 10 of Google's search results for "programmable led signs," "led sign manufacturer," "sign wholesalers," "open led signs," and "signage wholesale;" and in the top 10 of Yahoo's search results for "led sign" and "open led signs."

EternalSparkles.com, leading online retailer of fashion jewelry also found its way into Google's top 10 search results for "online fashion jewelry," "gold tone rings," "gold tone jewelry," "online fashion jewelry stores," "swarovski eternity rings," and "rosette champagne;" and Yahoo's top 10 search results for "gold tone rings."

An Important Milestone in Expanding its Collection of High Quality Graphics

(PRWEB) September 24, 2009 -- This week Tattoodle launched its 10,000th design on its Facebook and MySpace apps, as well as on its flagship My Web Tattoo (http://www.mywebtattoo.com/) site. Tattoodle boasts the Internet's largest collection of free virtual tattoos for use on social networking sites. Users can share these graphics or post them to their Profile. They can also create tattoo displays, which are user-customized collages of the company's graphics. Finally, users can personalize tattoos.

Our goal is to have something for everyone, regardless of the occasion, and to ensure that all of our products are of the highest quality."

Tattoodle features a wide variety of graphics (or, as the company refers to them, "tattoos") - ranging from butterflies, hearts, and flowers to skulls, anime, sports, and more. In all, the app has 20 different tattoo categories, each of which has subcategories that further organize these graphics by type. Users can navigate through these categories and sub-categories to find what they are looking for or, alternatively, search for tattoos on the apps or web site.

Each graphic is an individual work of art, created by world-class illustrators and colorists. Some are tranquil, while others appeal to a more edgy personality. Each displays a vibrancy of color that makes it worthy of being a Tattoodle graphic. The majority of these tattoos are available in "glitter" and "sequin" format, in addition to "plain", further enhancing the diversity of these graphics. The apps also feature tattoo wallpaper. These wallpaper designs are created from graphics selected from Tattoodle's extensive gallery of designs, and these wallpapers allow users to create a stunning, vivid, and distinctive desktop experience.

Delivering superior network performance for high bandwidth applications

White Plains (Vocus) September 24, 2009 -- AboveNet, Inc., (NYSE:ABVT (http://www.google.com/finance?client=ob&q=NYSE:ABVT)) a leading provider of high-bandwidth connectivity solutions, has announced its industry-leading low latency guarantee.

The program, called the Agility Guarantee, will offer customers ultra-low latency performance across the entire array of metro wave and Ethernet services that AboveNet provides in the top 15 U.S. markets.

AboveNet Chief Technology Officer, Rajiv Datta, said, "We are offering this guarantee of ultra-low latency performance to provide our most demanding customers the assurance they need for their critical applications. They require industry-leading low latency coupled with the highly reliable, high performance networks that we design and implement for them."

There are a growing number of latency sensitive applications (such as VoIP and video) that impact end users across industries. In addition to providing a high performance option to these customers, AboveNet's Agility Guarantee (http://www.google.com/finance?client=ob&q=NYSE:ABVT) is designed to meet the stringent requirements of industry segments such as:

* Financial Services Algorithmic Trading

"AboveNet is naturally positioned to provide ultra-low latency performance due to our fiber-intensive delivery model, and our focus on high bandwidth customers," Mr. Datta said. "By offering these services with direct routing and minimal equipment interfaces, we can offer round-trip latencies as low as sub-1 millisecond for some of our services, which I believe is unmatched in the industry."

The program uses real-world metrics, instead of averages and one-way trip measurements:

* All guarantees are provided as round-trip delay values

* Guarantees apply for the end-to-end service, not just the POP-POP component

* Guarantees represent maximum values, not an "average" number

Cypress Communications Receives Innovation Award for Hosted Unified Communications and ACD Solution

Cypress Communications Receives Innovation Award for Hosted Unified Communications and ACD Solution

Cypress Communications awarded the 2009 TMC Labs Innovation Award from Customer Interaction Solutions magazine for call center technological advancements.

Atlanta, GA (Vocus) September 24, 2009 -- Cypress Communications® announced today that Technology Marketing Corporation (TMC) has awarded the company's C4 IP® Automatic Call Distribution solution--entitled C4 IP ACD--a 2009 TMC Labs Innovation Award from Customer Interaction Solutions magazine. C4 IP ACD (http://cypresscom.net/solutions/c4-ip/automatic-call-distribution/) is a powerful combination of automatic call distribution functionality integrated into one of the leading hosted VoIP and hosted unified communications solutions for small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs). This is the 17th award Cypress has received for product innovation.

The TMC Labs Innovation Award distinguishes products that demonstrate innovation, uniqueness, and significant contributions toward improving communications technology.

"Cypress Communications has clearly shown the staff of TMC Labs that C4 IP ACD has made a significant contribution to the CRM and contact center industry," said Nadji Tehrani, founder and chairman of TMC and publisher of Customer Interaction Solutions. "We're proud to honor their outstanding accomplishment with a TMC Labs Innovation Award this year."

C4 IP ACD enables SMEs to better manage their calls and as a result, be more competitive. Calls are queued and distributed between team members for effective call management and improved customer satisfaction. Intelligent routing spreads the workload evenly among agents, boosting employee morale and increasing customer service. And, real-time call center statistics with historical reporting gives supervisors the information they need to operate efficiently. Reporting, queue configuration control and LCD wall board support may also be added to the solution.

"At Cypress, we firmly believe in the value of the hosted delivery model--in its ability to deliver better technology and more functionality at a lower cost than alternative options," said Frank Grillo, executive vice president of marketing at Cypress. "Most premises-based solutions require heavy upfront investments in equipment and extensive IT resources to implement, oftentimes putting much-needed functionality out of reach of small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs). But Cypress levels the playing field with C4 IP ACD and its wide range of hosted features, enabling SMEs to leverage world-class technology that would otherwise be cost-prohibitive for them to implement."

As a comprehensive hosted VoIP and hosted unified communications (http://cypresscom.net/solutions/c4-ip/) solution, C4 IP comes complete with voice and data access, phones, collaboration and video services, unified messaging and advanced PBX functionality. Since it is an outsourced solution, C4 IP requires little oversight from the customer, so they can reallocate IT budget and personnel resources to where they'll create the most business growth and value.
