Popular news and technology blog DigitalOlympus.com has commented on a recent Fox Business article concerning a judge’s ruling to dismiss challenge to New York City’s E-Hailing cab program.

Long Island, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/29/2013 -- On April 25, popular news and technology blog DigitalOlympus.com commented on a recent article by Gabrielle Karol in Fox Business regarding a judge’s dismissal to a challenge by Manhattan-based livery car group to New York City’s e-hail app program which aims to automate the taxi hailing process.

According to the Fox Business piece, Taxi & Limousine Commissioner David Yasskey and NYC Corporation counsel Michael A. Cardozo issued a statement that E-hailing apps for yellow cabs in New York City will now be permitted to run a test period spanning 12 months. The judge’s ruling is being applauded by some apps manufacturers that focused on vehicle alert-system technology.

Responding to the Fox Business news story, DigitalOlympus.com business intelligence researcher Jake

Owen acknowledges the significant complexity of analyzing and weighing the multitude of factors at play in making such a decision. The rapid development of new technologies and their application in mature industries will no doubt raise new challenges for judges for the foreseeable future. The judge&aposs decision has at least for now opened a door into additional developments for the vehicle alert-system technology sector and may contribute to conditions for a level playing field for firms specializing in producing vehicle alert-systems and potentially create more jobs.

Since the initial launch of Uber for New York City yellow cabs in September, Uber CEO Travis Kalanick, whose company plans to participate in the pilot argues that it is impossible to stop change if the people crave for it. A spokesman for the firm also disclosed that UberTaxi which allows e-hailing of yellow cabs via the same app will be introduced soon.

The Fox Business article further revealed that New York’s Black Car Assistance Corporation are debating appealing against the judge’s dismissal of the initial challenge. “The fundamental grounds are that the TLC has no legal authority under local law to impose this program, whether as a pilot or otherwise. There are specific local laws that are being violated in this instance” Randy Mastro, the corporation’s lawyer argued.

Following the piece, Cole highlighted some suggestions to innovators facing similar legal challenges, “It is essential for companies to conduct in depth due diligence and thorough investigations into the political and legal landscape that may present challenges on the road to a successful endeavor. Of course, even with the most thorough investigation and analysis one may find oneself in unforeseen circumstances requiring legal and litigation support. Still, doing one&aposs “homework” is critical regarding the line of business they intend to invest and trade in, and it will enable them understand the basics and prepare for how to tackle challenges.”

News and technology blog DigitalOlympus.com commented on a Wall Street Journal article regarding Blackstone Group’s decision to end its pursuit of Dell Inc., highlighting their due diligence efforts as one of the key factors that led to this decision.

Long Island, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/26/2013 -- On April 23, popular news and technology blog DigitalOlympus.com commented on a recent Wall Street Journal article about private equity firm Blackstone Group’s decision to end its pursuit of Dell Inc., just a month after making preliminary offers for the computer maker that challenged the $24.4 billion proposal by the company’s founder Michael Dell and Silver Lake Partners.

A recent Wall Street Journal news story revealed that Blackstone’s decision to pull out, after trying to counterbid a leveraged buyout by the PC maker’s Chief Executive, comes as the result of a comprehensive due diligence process that exposed concerns about significant drops in Dell&aposs operating income, as well as the declining PC sales worldwide.

The article further stated that, according to people familiar with the matter, “The Blackstone team was in Texas last week conducting due diligence on the company, and its review raised doubts about the future of Dell&aposs PC business.” This decision to bow out of negotiations comes almost a month after Blackstone Group LP signed non-disclosure agreements to inspect Dell&aposs books.

Following the Wall Street Journal piece, DigitalOlympus.com leading researchers described the decision by Blackstone to pull out, after examining Dell’s financial books, as an example of how due diligence and business intelligence can improve decision-making for companies and organizations.

“Due diligence investigations that can gather as much data as possible to allow business leaders to make informed decisions when structuring a deal have become mandatory in this day and time,” said a lead researcher at DigitalOlympus.com. “There&aposs no denying it, business due diligence can help executives assess investment opportunities and foresee possible investment outcomes more efficiently.”

The Wall Street Journal news article on the latest development of the Dell buyout saga concludes by reporting that although Dell and Blackstone have declined to comment, “The halt to Blackstone&aposs rival deal effort leaves Silver Lake and Mr. Dell in a stronger position to push ahead with their offer to buy all of the company&aposs shares not owned by Mr. Dell and his affiliates for $13.65 apiece.”

As a news and technology blog, DigitalOlympus.com is committed to promoting the adoption of due diligence practices that can help business executives gain greater insight into their decision making process, and recommends its readers to utilize third party professionals that can carry out a thorough background investigation before venturing into investing.

In the light of the recent foreign bribery charges unsealed against Alstom executives, as reported on the Wall Street Journal, news and technology blog DigitalOlympus.com commented on the situation highlighting it as an important example of the U.S. Government's approach to Foreign Corrupt Practices Act violations.

Astoria, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/19/2013 -- On April 17, popular news and technology blog DigitalOlympus.com commented on a recent Wall Street Journal article regarding the bribery charges against Alstom execs highlighting this situation as an example of how the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) is being severely enforced by the U.S. Government in an effort to keep American companies from making corrupt payments to foreign government officials.

According to a recent Wall Street Journal news story, the U.S. Justice Department arrested Frederic Pierucci (a current Alston subsidiary executive from France) at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York last Sunday for his alleged involvement in a scheme to bribe government officials in Indonesia.

The article goes on to state that the Department of Justice “also revealed that a former Alstom executive, David Rothschild, pleaded guilty in November to charges emanating from the same bribery scheme.” These charges against Rothschild, former vice-president of sales at the subsidiary, were not unsealed until recently.

Responding to the Wall Street Journal piece, DigitalOlympus.com leading researcher Josh Cole said, “Since its adoption in 1977, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act has undoubtedly been one of the priorities of the Justice Department, but the airport arrest of a French national illustrates just how aggressively the FCPA is being enforced.”

For the past three decades, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act –a law that prohibits the payment of bribes to foreign government officials by U.S. based companies– has changed the landscape of American business so deeply that all researchers at DigitalOlympus.com urge their readers to always conduct detailed due diligence investigations before venturing into international markets.

The Wall Street Journal article concluded that although “Alstom has been the subject of several international corruption probes”; the company has successfully settled corruption-related charges before and it’s presently cooperating with the Department of Justice, the US Securities and Exchange Commission as well as U.K. authorities to comply with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.

As a news and technology blog, DigitalOlympus.com is committed to promoting the adoption of business intelligence and due diligence practices that can prevent bribery. The decision by the Justice Department to arrest a foreign citizen allegedly involved in overseas bribery can be seen as a crucial precedent for all American Companies operating abroad.

News and technology blog DigitalOlympus.com has commented on a recent WebProNews article regarding Dish's $25.5 billion bid for Sprint Nextel Corporation, countering the pending SoftBank proposal.

Astoria, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/17/2013 -- On April 15, popular news and technology blog DigitalOlympus.com comments on a recent WebProNews article regarding leading Satellite-TV provider Dish Network Corporation&aposs merger proposal to the Board of Directors of Sprint Nextel Corporation for $25.5 billion, upstaging the existing SoftBank proposal for $20.1 billion.

A recent WebProNews article reveals that Dish Network Corp. proposed a merger with Sprint Nextel last Monday for a total cash and stock consideration of $25.5 billion, a move that would give Sprint shareholders $7 per share ($4.76 in cash with the remainder $2.24 in Dish stock).

Dish’s bid represents greater value to Sprint owners, including ownership in a corporation better positioned to benefit from future opportunities.

According to the WebProNews piece, Dish Chairman Charles Ergen’s letter to Sprint Nextel Chairman, James Hance, said “Dish has significant experience structuring and consummating strategic transactions and only needs to complete confirmatory due diligence, which we believe can be done quickly with your cooperation.”

Responding to the WebProNews story, DigitalOlympus.com researchers praised the move as an important example of efficient business intelligence in action; by asking for cooperation to conduct their due diligence investigations more swiftly, Mr. Ergen is looking to provide greater transparency throughout the whole merger process.

This review seems to come as part of a strategy to obtain all the necessary approvals within a sensible timeframe and also maintain public transparency; mostly because Dish’s offer is not going to be subject to a government probe like the Japanese-owned Softbank’s proposal, as Mr. Ergen stated in a conference call a few days ago.

“The Dish proposal undoubtedly represents a great example of business intelligence in action,” said a lead researcher at Digital Olympus. “After assessing this opportunity, Mr. Ergen is making all the right moves to launch his own wireless broadband network.”

Following the article, lead researcher at Digital Olympus Josh Cole said: “By combining his company with Sprint, Mr. Ergen is looking to create a corporation that can provide customers with a fully integrated bundle of home video, as well as broadband and other services; but all this is going to happen only after thoroughly reviewing Sprint&aposs books.”

As a leading news and technology blog, DigitalOlympus.com is committed to promoting the adoption of business intelligence and due diligence practices that can help companies improve their decision making process, and advises its readers to employ full service companies specialized in corporate investigations when needed.

DigitalOlympus.com shares tips on fraud mitigation practices based on survey responses of corporate executives in New York City.

Long Island, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/20/2013 -- Popular news and technology blog DigitalOlympus.com shares the findings of a survey of corporate executives in New York City, which sought to determine the best practices with respect to mitigating fraud risk in the corporate environment. The results of the survey have been compiled into a tip sheet shared by DigitalOlympus.com

1) Thorough Background Investigations: Investigative practices, like pre-employment background research, can help organizations mitigate fraud risk by uncovering potential issues regarding prospective employees. This recommendation extends to corporate investigations, since it’s one of the most effective ways to find out whether a potential business partner is legitimate or not.

2) Controlling Access to Key Information: Misplaced paper files and poor restrictions with respect to access to digital files continue to damage organizations even in this day and age. Knowing exactly where all documentation is (or should be), as well as who is responsible for it, and who has access is vital to avoid key information leakage to unauthorized parties.

3) Implement Formalized Business Intelligence Practices: As an increasingly important practice when transforming unstructured data into valuable information, organized business intelligence processes prevent an accumulation of information that is effectively useless by making that information available in real time on demand and immediately actionable. Structured data that is actionable can be efficiently delivered to the right people and help companies make informed decisions and successfully assess fraud risk.

4) Training Programs: Employees who are unaware of the proper method for completing a task can often cause damaging information leaks. Very specific boundaries and guidelines for employees are crucial when dealing with confidential information. Even well intentioned employees may open up windows of opportunity for potential fraudsters within an organization by not following appropriate practices. Continuous training and re-enforcement of established processes is critical to mitigating fraud.

5) Utilizing Third Party Professionals When Needed: When an irregular situation arises, it’s best to hire professionals. If there is evidence of fraud or if fraud is suspected for some reason within an organization, it may warrant the assistance of a professional investigative service agency. In the unfortunate event that fraud within an organization results in litigation, it is also wise to consider engaging the services of litigation support professionals to assist in designing and implementing a customized investigative plan and legal strategy for the company.

Business and finance technology research firm DigitalOlympus.com has commented on a recent CNN report about the new General Electric (GE) investment focus in Germany, a country that is holding its own in the eurozone amidst flailing economic fortunes of other member states.

Long Island, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/15/2013 -- On March 15, finance and business technology research firm DigitalOlympus.com comments on a recent CNN news story about the new General Electric (GE) investment move in Germany.

A recent CNN news story reveals that U.S. mega firm General Electric (GE) is poised to increase its investment in Germany&aposs bustling economy amidst a general lack-luster economic outlook for the rest of the eurozone.

According to the CNN report, Nani Beccalli-Falco, CEO of GE Europe said &aposGermany is the "economic locomotive" of Europe&apos, and that &aposthe company [GE] wanted to strengthen its position in the continent&aposs largest economy.&apos

Responding to the CNN story, DigitalOlympus.com observed that the move could not have come at a better time for GE, with Europe’s economy becoming increasingly dependent on Germany. “Although many countries in the European Union are feeling the squeeze of the region&aposs debt crisis, Beccalli-Falco sees cause for optimism in some parts of Europe” the article reported.

Researchers at DigitalOlympus.com hailed the move as an example of business intelligence in action; by analyzing the European economic situation, conducting due diligence investigations, and harnessing the economic data and facts at their disposal, GE was able to realize the suitability of Germany as a major investment destination, and they took the initiative.

“The move by GE can be seen as a classic example of business intelligence in action. GE was able to study the economic climate of Europe in order to determine that Germany is currently a powerhouse capable of taking investment, multiplying it across the eurozone due to the dependency of other member nations, and attracting more business from within and outside” said Monty Dimkpa, lead editor with DigitalOlympus.com.

DigitalOlympus.com promotes business intelligence practices in business and advocates the use of corporate investigations and other measures to analytically determine best business moves for optimum returns on investment.

Commercial bribery may be defined as funds exchanged for the purpose of soliciting, maintaining or fostering business, and it is illegal in the United States under the FCPA (Foreign Corrupt Practices Act). Engaging in commercial bribery can make a company liable to criminal prosecution – DigitalOlympus.com presents tips to avoid commercial bribery.

Long Island, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/18/2013 -- Under the FCPA, a business registered in the USA and engaging in commercial bribery is liable to criminal prosecution even when operating outside the boundaries of the United States. The implications of this are far-reaching, and businesses can protect themselves and their interests from commercial bribery by employing effective business intelligence measures.

Business intelligence allows the business to stay safe when confronted with commercial bribery. The idea that one must engage in commercial bribery to enjoy high levels of business success in non-transparent and corrupt markets is very prevalent, and first-time market entrants may become exposed to that notion, although to their detriment in the long term.

It is possible to do business legitimately and make significant profits even in corrupt environments by taking proper due diligence measures. Wise businesses always include anti-corruption steps as part of a comprehensive business intelligence strategy. Conducting investigations and due diligence on existing governments, protocols, business partners, employees and competing companies can make businesses make the correct strategic decisions when operating overseas.

"Commercial bribery may seem as a rite of passage in foreign markets but it can ruin your business. Protecting your business from commercial bribery can be difficult in certain terrains, and may even retard the growth of your business in fast-moving corrupt markets, but it pays in the long run," said a report collaborator.

DigitalOlympus.com presents e-commerce startups with tips on how to attract investment in uncertain times using a combination of effective print-based promotional strategies for direct on-the-ground marketing and new media (Internet, social media) based marketing.

Long Island, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/06/2013 -- DigitalOlympus.com is offering e-commerce start-ups tips on effective promotional printing strategies that can help them attract investment in unfavorable times. Research shows that the tech industry has changed its focus so much so that ecommerce startups are no longer receiving priority funding. The implications of this include the fact that in order to attract investment, ecommerce firms must prove to be profitable with a good business outlook and not just great ideas alone.

Printing (including common printing services like flyer printing, label printing, large format printing, personalized labels and other custom printing applications) is a great way to market products and build brand reputation and awareness while keeping costs low.

Printing is one of the most traditional promotional techniques and people really respond well to it in all its forms – flyers, posters, pamphlets, billboards, banners, etc. Also printing is very low-cost and can be deployed virtually anywhere.

E-commerce start-ups can combine online marketing strategies with more grounded and effective strategies like printing, radio, TV and direct mail for improved results that can lead to more customers and a better bottom line – and ultimately attract investors.

“A combined strategy can help improve online awareness while also getting through to the man on the ground (including potential investors) through more traditional advertising methods,” said a DigitalOlympus.com correspondent.

Struggling ecommerce businesses can achieve breakthrough marketing through direct, on-the-ground promotion, as opposed to using social media and the Internet alone, because people who no longer subscribe to their services will want to be assured (in person, if possible) that the services have been rebranded and will be more useful to them and less expensive, etc., according to what the business is willing to offer.

Business intelligence strategies keep companies safe from fraud by clearly identifying legitimate partners, officials, authorities, businesses, agencies, procedures and methods in non-transparent regimes and operational areas overseas.

Long Island, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/01/2013 -- Overseas fraud occurs mostly in environments with opaque governments and a high level of corruption. In such environments, identity theft and opportunistic fraud hinder operational progress for foreign businesses trying to settle in.The role of business intelligence as a fraud deterrent in such environments is to: a.) help businesses identify legitimate partners, officials, industries, agencies, authorities, procedures, laws and methods b.) build corporate firewalls to detect and ward-off opportunistic fraudsters.

Proper due diligence measures are included as part of a comprehensive business intelligence strategy. Conducting investigations and due diligence on existing governments, protocols, business partners, employees and competing companies can make businesses make the correct strategic decisions when operating overseas. Additionally, assessing competitive dynamics with respect to rival brands, products and entities in overseas markets (with unfamiliar, new or additional parameters) can help businesses stay afloat in such situations.

"In opaque business environments, fraud and identity theft are a regular occurrence. With business intelligence strategies in place, businesses are able to clearly identify partners, authorities, institutions and methods – removing the possibility of being defrauded by local opportunists," says a report collaborator.

From owning your own WiFi hotspot/café to freelance writing and web/graphics design, research firm DigitalOlympus.com recommends the 3 best self-employment businesses for a motivated self-starter.

Long Island, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/18/2013 -- Many believe that self-employment is really the solution to the mass unemployment that prevails today – people are no longer ready to sit around and wait for the government or the private sector to create jobs, they want to start something and see it grow and work out. DigitalOlympus.com recommends the following 3 self-employment businesses for people taking those vital first steps into self-employment.

1) WiFi hotspot/Café – This is a great idea for a budding entrepreneur because the demand and need is obviously there without the large capital to worry about. A WiFi hotspot/Café is simply an area where people can be in to access fast Internet/data speeds through a WiFi connection on their iPads, iPhones, tablets and PDA’s without having a prepaid data plan or phone company data contract, for an hourly or monthly charge. The “walk-in” convenience combined with the added utility of grabbing a quick coffee or snack while working makes it a hit in a fast-moving metropolitan setting.

2) Website order service – This can be a hit with people living on the outskirts of a major town who may need to travel several miles to do their shopping or buy household items and electronics. A young entrepreneur can launch a website where people can place orders to receive the goods they need from the stores they want. They can pay in advance and have the items delivered to their doorstep. Websites don’t cost a ton to design, build and host, and the demand is certainly there. Just a little motivation will do the trick.

3) Freelance writer/graphic designer/programmer – these are essential services that virtually no company can do without. With these skills one can become a consultant, or open a private practice. Graphic design skills can be used for designing for websites or for everyday promotional printing design (such as for postcard printing, sticker printing, poster printing, canvas prints and other printing services). The only major capital needed to start here is the knowledge – so grab your Photoshop manual or your iOS/Android/C++ developer’s manual to get started.

"Being self-employed is great as it allows you to cultivate a vision and grow with it – you have the liberty to grow in so many different directions and more importantly, you’re your own boss. DigitalOlympus.com has put together three great self-employment ideas that are guaranteed to work for motivated and dedicated people," says a DigitalOlympus.com spokesperson.

Business and technology research firm DigitalOlympus.com predicts that 3D printing will spark the home industry revolution in 2013. In a time of low employment and rising costs, eager first-time entrepreneurs will find the opportunity they need with 3D printing.

Long Island, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/18/2013 -- Why 3D printing will be the hottest business item of 2013 - DigitalOlympus.com predicts. 3D printing will help jumpstart small scale manufacturing and home-based businesses in 2013 - essentially causing the home industry revolution.

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, unemployment figures have not improved since December 2012, and the U.S. is still faced with a 7.8% unemployment rate - the third worst in its history.

Essential living costs such as food and housing are also on the rise and it is more difficult now than ever to get a business startup loan. The result? Millions of highly skilled and highly educated people without jobs and prospects that decline by the day are "taking the bull by the horns" - jumping headfirst into self-employment.

Why is 3D printing the ultimate self-employment solution? 3D printing is the technology that is used on an industrial scale to manufacture prototypes and finished goods such as automobile parts, machines and machine components, food packaging, storage units, plastic goods and even toys. 3D printing is not related to office printing (flyer printing, label printing, large format printing, personalized labels and other office printing services) as it is a manufacturing process.

3D printing is an "additive" manufacturing process that uses computer programs to mass-produce scale or full-size replicas of computer-scanned or CAD models, and saves the costs required by "subtractive" processes requiring further machining or use of pre-designed "molds" and equipment. It is the amateur manufacturer&aposs dream come true.

On a smaller scale, 3D printing can be used for the mass-production of affordable jewelery, clothing accessories, footwear, keys, compact discs, mirrors, stationery, waste bins, bottles and cans, eyewear, toys and many more everyday items - imagine the amazing commercial potential this has for the millions of unemployed in the country.

How will 3D printing start the home industry revolution? The simple answer is that 3D printing has hit the consumer market at an affordable price point - in fact, some models like the RoBo 3D Printer (coming to the market in a matter of weeks) will cost less than $600.

Here&aposs the simple logic:

Low cost hassle-free manufacturing provided by 3D printers + high demand for affordable manufactured goods + millions of unemployed people who can purchase and use 3D printers to produce low cost goods = home industry revolution.

It&aposs that simple. And it will happen.

"People just need to realize the amazing commercial potential that 3D printers provide - home industries can spring up overnight and small businesses can start on every street corner, making and selling everyday consumer items like forks, spoons, plastic goods, fashion accessories and more - it&aposs simply brilliant," says a DigitalOlympus.com spokesperson.

People have come to expect an app for everything, and small businesses can tap into the immense potentials of app-based marketing and realize amazing results from the mobile consumer space. DigitalOlympus.com plans to publish a guide to help businesses build apps in an easy, stress-free way.

New York, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/18/2013 -- In an age of smartphones and the mobile Internet, apps are changing the way people approach life and business; connecting with friends and associates is now done almost entirely via smartphones and handheld devices – iPhones, iPads, Android tablets and various others. And most of the services that run on such platforms are provided through apps – in fact, apps are becoming a part of American culture according to

Noah Elkin, researcher at eMarketer:
“It’s getting to the point where apps are similar to search,” he said. “If you don’t get any results for a brand, that brand doesn’t exist.”

The implications this has for small businesses are enormous, as they may have to consider including apps as part of their core marketing strategy to really take off in a crowded market targeting customers who may expect to access their services and products more conveniently via apps that will run on most common consumer electronic handheld devices.

"By the end of this year, according to the digital marketing firm eMarketer, there will be 116 million smartphone users in the United States...That is a large and expanding canvas for apps when consumers have come to expect one for almost everything," said a recent report.

An app strategy would complement more traditional promotional and marketing techniques like TV, radio and print (including common printing services as flyer printing, large format printing, brochure printing, shipping labels printing, vinyl banners and other custom promotional printing applications).

To help businesses easily switch to an app strategy, business/tech research firm and blog

DigitalOlympus.com will be publishing a guide for building apps in a low-cost, easy and stress-free way. Once out, the guide will be available at no cost on the DigitalOlympus.com website.

A new business technology study by research firm DigitalOlympus.com has revealed that hosted PBX plans for office telecoms radically lower business operating costs. This is because telecoms are closely tied-into the operations of a modern business and hosted plans eliminate administrative, maintenance, technical and upgrade costs for business telecoms.

Long Island, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/10/2013 -- Hosted PBX plans lower business telecom costs, according to new research by DigitalOlympus.com. By eliminating the need for on-site maintenance, upgrades, administration, configuration, installation, training and repair, hosted PBX solutions save costs dramatically for businesses when it comes to telecoms spending.

Hosted PBX plans and arrangements vary, but typically offer standard business functions such as voicemail, paging, call forwarding, automated attendant (with greeting and call routing), conferencing facilities, and others through a shared internet connection. So in effect the business enjoys a virtual phone system without having to worry about purchasing its own physical PBX phone system server.

Service plans typically include a certain volume of local and domestic calls for a small monthly fee.

Businesses may have to provide their own cheap desk phone systems (ordinary business phones and VoIP phones), or sometimes the host may provide these as part of the deal. In all, such hosted plans remove complexity from the process of switching to and operating VoIP architecture, and growing business stand to benefit a lot from that. The cost savings realized from hosted PBX systems can be very significant for businesses of any size – in fact the savings increase exponentially with increasing business size.

Hosted PBX solutions are in fact highly recommended for SMBs (small and medium businesses) by telecom experts.

"Hosted solutions take away the hassle and cost of managing, operating and maintaining your own PBX. It also removes the burden of initial installation costs, which are very substantial. The beauty of it all is that you don&apost even have to pay a fortune for all the convenience you get, and you enjoy a true plug-and-play solution," says a research collaborator.

A recent IT report by tech blog DigitalOlympus.com unveiled a host of cost-saving office waste management tips for businesses. The study was aimed at illustrating the ways in which businesses can keep track of their waste materials in order to better determine the most profitable mode of disposal.

Long Island, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/09/2013 -- Inventory should not only be for useful office equipment but also for old (waste) materials, according to a recent business study by technology blog DigitalOlympus.com. Having a proper record of materials intended for disposal (such as old printers used for brochure printing, custom labels printing, flyer printing and other custom printing services) can help businesses properly categorize them and plan for the most profitable mode of disposal - either through auction or recycling. An old mug may actually fetch more at auction than when sold to the local recycler. Keeping records and doing a little research can show that there is more financial sense either mode of disposal, helping businesses earn more returns on old (waste) equipment.

The new report outlines ways in which businesses can effectively track their waste by keeping inventory. A simple database can be started for this purpose, with old items due for removal entered and categorized by type. Records should be taken of the quantities and condition of each of the items, and simple market research can be done to gauge the resell (auction and recycling) value of the item.

The mode of disposal that brings in the most return for the condition and quantity of the items under consideration will then be selected based on the information available (from the database) and local market research.

Having this type of data at hand can empower businesses to create significant savings from waste disposal at an unprecedented level when compared to random acts of disposal that include outright destruction or giveaway of old (waste) equipment and items.

"Businesses should keep an inventory not only of useful products but also of products deemed to be waste. These old phones, staplers and coffee machines have significant recycling or auction value, and a proper record of what they are and how much they are can help business decide on the most profitable mode of disposal for them," says a study collaborator.

A new study by business technology blog DigitalOlympus.com has revealed that businesses can save costs on their internal operations by optimizing their document creation and control processes with networked printing.

Long Island, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/08/2013 -- Document creation is a major aspect of any business&apos operation at the office level; documents must be created for each transaction and to track internal processes. Documents constitute the all-important paper trail without which a business cannot operate, grow or even exist. A recent study by DigitalOlympus.com reveals that businesses can optimize their document creation and control processes to reduce costs by adopting networked printing for such daily printing services as flyer printing, large format printing, brochure printing, shipping labels printing, vinyl banners printing and others.

Networked printing entails using a central printer or group of smart, inter-connected printers to facilitate the printing work of multiple related offices or an entire department. This is opposed to using a separate printer for each office. Using a separate printer for each office is potentially a wasteful strategy that may not boost productivity because of several important reasons.

Firstly, a printer to each office means that there are multiple sources of energy consumption and cost. Second, there are also multiple sources of toner, ink and solvent demand, which will always be collectively greater at any future time than if a single printer were used to serve those needs. There will also be higher maintenance costs as a result.

These multiple sources of cost (energy, materials and maintenance) means that businesses will generally spend more when they use multiple printers than where a single printer is used. This leads to a higher cost of operation internally which also affects the business bottom line negatively.

The solution is the use of a single, networked printer, or a central (small) group of smart networked printers (no more than 2 or 3) to serve the needs of all offices or the entire department. The following valid question arises in this scenario: will a single or a few printers meet the printing, energy and workload requirements of the many offices or entire department served without frequent breakdowns which will also attract high cost and inefficiency?

The answer lies in the fact that there are smart, energy-efficient printers outfitted with automatic management designs and computing modules to effectively manage high-volume printing jobs from multiple computers by printing according to priority (when needed) and volume (how much is needed) to save on energy, ink, paper and other material costs at any point in time. These smart printers also save on the electric bill by automatically shutting off during idle times.

The use of such smart printers in a stand-alone configuration (for smaller businesses) or small networks of 2 or 3 units (for larger businesses or multi-level departments), can help save on energy, materials and maintenance costs in the long term, saving vital funds for businesses that can help accelerate growth.

"Networked printing arrangements dramatically reduce energy, materials and maintenance costs for businesses currently adopting multiple unsynchronized printers for individual offices. The use of smart multi-tasking and energy-efficient printers in a networked arrangement can significantly improve productivity and lower office costs," says a study collaborator.

Tech blog DigitalOlympus.com recently released a report on remote project handling and how it provides businesses operating remote and virtual offices with a way to manage and execute projects without the fear of communication breakdowns and loss of control.

Long Island, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/03/2013 -- A new report by tech blog digitalolympus.com explains how businesses operating virtual or remote offices can take advantage of remote project handling techniques to overcome barriers imposed by distance and the lack of face-to-face communication.

“Remote project handling” entails coordinating and managing entire projects from a remote location by leveraging modern communications technology including real-time file transfers and video conferencing, VoIP calls, e-mail and more traditional solutions like fax.

Remote project handling works principally through online real-time file sharing and document collaboration, multi-party conferencing and office-to-office calls via business phones (including fax).

File sharing allows online collaborators to share, view and edit documents and multimedia files such as video tutorials, project slideshows and more. This is important as in any project there are several files including documents and other resources that must be exchanged between staff and management. File sharing is typically included as a service on many unified communications (UC) supported phone systems and devices.

Multi-party conferencing is another major dimension of remote project handling, and involves the operation of a platform where staff and management can meet in virtual online chat rooms or through a shared VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) connection. Multi-party conferencing is provided by compatible VoIP phones and integral telecommunications devices.

“Remote project handling is possible with a sound network of VoIP phone systems and telecommunications equipment supporting real-time multi-party conferencing, multimedia file sharing and high-performance long distance calling. Remote project handling allows businesses to expand globally through virtual offices and remote locations without worrying about communication breakdowns or loss of control,” says a study collaborator.

Businesses are increasingly adopting energy-efficient technology for work and production, according to a recent study by tech blog DigitalOlympus.com. The implications of this are leaner, smarter and faster work processes, energy and cost savings and a better bottom line for businesses.

Long Island, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/03/2013 -- Tech blog DigitalOlympus.com recently released results of a study about how printing processes and equipment are going ‘green’. Results from the survey show that more and more printing equipment manufacturers are making ‘green’ products and more offices and businesses are buying them.

The ‘green’ movement is about three principal things; saving energy, protecting the environment and using biodegradable (organic) materials in industrial or production processes. Energy-saving devices and equipment are not new, and have been around for decades. They regulate their use of energy by sensing periods of low or no activity and reducing power consumption accordingly. Printing equipment manufacturers are also producing equipment that contain ergonomic devices and parts that sense idle states and can lower energy consumption as required.

Printing (such as flyer printing, vinyl banners printing, large format printing, poster printing and other corporate printing services) is one of the most commonly carried-out operations in offices globally and networked printers serving multiple offices are a standard feature of any organization nowadays. These printers usually take up significant kilowatt-hours (KWh) of electricity and are a major contributor to an office’s electric bill. Having energy-efficient and eco-friendly printers and other office equipment that switch off themselves when not in use and self-manage tasks according to priority and volume can save costs and energy in real-time.

Many businesses are now reporting the use of such energy-efficient and eco-friendly solutions for printing, copying, faxing and other office activities, according to the survey by DigitalOlympus.com.

“Being the manager of a small business I know how much savings can mean for a growing business. By doing things smaller, cleaner and faster we are able to keep costs down and improve productivity. Adopting energy-efficient and eco-friendly equipment means we save on power and other resources such as ink and paper by only using what we need at any point in time,” says a survey respondent.

Organizations are starting to implement &aposgreen&apos policies from the ground-up, and we are seeing a rise in energy-efficient, work-optimized and eco-friendly office spaces.

Tech blog DigitalOlympus.com recently unveiled a study which demystifies the concept of “remote project handling” and provides businesses with vital insight into ways through which they can manage their virtual and offsite offices as they expand and assume a global outlook without worrying about breakdowns in communication and resulting production losses.

Long Island, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/24/2012 -- The new business telecoms study by tech blog DigitalOlympus.com explains remote project handling techniques in-depth, providing key insights for businesses that will lead to success if closely followed during the process of assuming new virtual or remote offices.

“Remote project handling” is the concept of coordinating and managing entire projects from a remote location. When workers and management are separated by great distances, technology must be employed to bridge the gap and provide a medium for the managers to interact with staff as required to satisfactorily plan, initiate and complete projects.

Remote project handling is achieved principally through file sharing, multi-party conferencing and office-to-office calls.

File sharing is a scenario where online users can collaboratively share, view and edit documents and multimedia files such as video tutorials, project slideshows and more. This is important as in any project there are several files including documents and other resources that must be exchanged between staff and management. File sharing is typically included as a service on many unified communications (UC) supported phone systems and devices.

Multi-party conferencing is another major dimension of remote project handling, and involves the operation of a platform where staff and management can meet in virtual online chat rooms or through a shared VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) connection. Multi-party conferencing is provided by compatible VoIP phones and integral telecommunications devices.

Normal office-to-office calls (via business phones) carried out on a daily basis are also required if remote projects are to be handled properly and executed as and at when needed.

“Remote project handling is possible with a sound network of VoIP phone systems and telecommunications equipment supporting real-time multi-party conferencing, multimedia file sharing and high-performance long distance calling. Remote project handling allows businesses to expand globally through virtual offices and remote locations without worrying about communication breakdowns and loss of control,” says a study collaborator.

A recent study by tech blog DigitalOlympus.com indicates that eco-friendly business printing is on the rise in offices all over the country. The message of saving the environment by cutting back on energy use is already gaining a foothold in corporate America as businesses small and large are switching to energy-saving office equipment and production processes.

Long Island, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/21/2012 -- Tech blog DigitalOlympus.com recently released results of a study about how business printing in the average American office is becoming more and more eco-friendly by the day. Businesses now realize that eco-friendly equipment and process save costs just as much as they save the environment, so they are in a race to adopt ‘green’ eco-friendly machines, production equipment, production processes and other facilities.

Energy-saving devices and equipment regulate their use of energy by sensing periods of low or no activity and reducing power consumption accordingly. Printing equipment manufacturers are also producing devices that contain eco-friendly components which sense idle states and can lower energy consumption as required.

Many respondents to the DigitalOlympus.com survey claimed to have office equipment such as printers used for large format printing, vinyl banners printing, flyer printing, poster printing and other corporate printing services that regulate energy use by automatically switching off when idle and also self-managing printing jobs depending on volume and priority to save ink use.

“The use of eco-friendly printing equipment in offices not only saves the environment, but the cost of business operations as well. When devices regulate their energy use, it results in a lower electric bill at the end of the day. Further, eco-friendly ink cartridges and toners can be fully recycled at the end of their useful life to generate returns for the business. From a health perspective, using organic solvents and printing inks can reduce toxic health risks,” says a study collaborator.

‘Green’ business practices are clearly taking center-stage and more than ever the office is becoming predominantly eco-friendly.

An optimized phone system network provides the capacity to support exactly what is needed by the business in terms of incoming and outgoing voice calls, voicemail, IVR, call management, conferencing (on VoIP phones) and other standard features, saving costs and removing redundancy in the process.

Long Island, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/20/2012 -- Tech blog DigitalOlympus.com recently released a new study about how businesses can optimize their phone networks in a cost-effective way without having to hire (expensive) consultants. The published material contains DIY (do it yourself) advice which introduces businesses to the basics of how to determine phone system requirements, how to choose business phones on the basis of cost, priority and requirements, and how to install, configure and maintain selected VoIP phone system equipment.

According to the DigitalOlympus.com study, businesses can achieve optimized phone system networks by optimizing their selection of phone systems and other telecom equipment. This can be achieved by first determining what their phone system requirements are; when a business has fully and properly identified its telecom requirements, it can begin the process of selecting systems that meet these requirements at the lowest cost possible.

While the process of determining requirements can be undertaken internally by audit, it is important to obtain expert advice and recommendations in order to properly select phone systems which meet requirements at the lowest cost possible. This information is provided in the study, which was put together by a team of phone system experts.

“Knowledge is power. And in the case of selecting optimized phone systems for businesses, knowledge is the power to save costs. Why hire a consultant when you can do it yourself? All that is needed to install optimized phone system networks is the knowledge of how to determine phone system requirements and how to select phone systems that meet these requirements at the lowest cost possible,” says a study collaborator.

Office recycling is something that has been picking up pace over the last decade or so, the idea that you don’t have to just dispose of old office stationery and equipment – you can recycle them to help save the environment and even get paid while you’re at it. This was the focus of a recent study by tech blog DigitalOlympus.com.

Long Island, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/20/2012 -- Tech blog DigitalOlympus.com recently released results of a study about office recycling. Recycling in the office is a practical subject that many businesses are taking very seriously. It starts with the little things like shredding waste paper to sell to the local paper mill instead of just throwing it in the trash or incinerating it. According to a recent survey by DigitalOlympus.com, most businesses feel there are organizational, environmental, productivity and financial gains to be realized from regular office recycling.

Aside from helping to save the environment and also generating a return for the business, recycling of old office equipment such as printers (used for flyer printing, poster printing, vinyl banners printing, yard sign printing, etc.) and other office machines also creates a number of internal advantages and opportunities for businesses including revenue generation, eco-friendly office layouts, energy-saving policies and extension of returns on investment in acquiring the said office stationery and equipment.

“I run a small graphics design business. In my office we implement a weekly recycling program where we try to recycle all old or useless pieces of stationery and other office equipment. Not only do we manage to use only what we need and maintain an eco-friendly working environment, we also earn a return on the stationery and equipment we no longer need – a win-win situation if you ask me,” says a survey respondent.

Recycling in the office is something that is here to stay. It is a modern, common-sense practice that every business includes in its operating plan. Recycling is environmentally-friendly, business-friendly and profitable. A business that does not recycle will waste energy and resources, spend more, accumulate items they don’t need and lose out on potentially significant financial gains in the process. Recycling is smart and smart businesses recycle.
