Barry Whaling, Chief Executive Officer, Smarter Systems, announced today that Theresa Ulyatt has been named President, effective today, December 1, 2010. Both Whaling and Ulyatt will be working together to lead the company. Collectively, with the team, they will forge a strategic plan focusing on continued growth, product and service expansion and infrastructure scalability in the business.

Barry Whaling, CEO, said, “We are very excited to have Theresa Ulyatt join the Smarter Systems team. She is the exact combination of experienced executive and quality leader that we were looking for, and we are pleased to have attracted such outstanding talent. The Smarter Systems team is united in the vision that her energetic management style, along with a proven track record of driving growth, is exactly what we need to achieve our full potential. I believe Theresa is the ideal person to assist me in leading Smarter Systems forward and I’m honored to get the chance to work with her. As far as I’m concerned, the best is yet to come.”

Prior to joining Smarter Systems, Ulyatt held an executive leadership role with NouvEON, a management-consulting firm based in Charlotte where she led Strategy and Talent. Theresa also spent time with Wachovia/Wells Fargo in IT and HR Recruiting leadership.

The Smarter Systems technology solutions are leading edge and add such tremendous value; I am excited about being part of that. The team is hard working and ‘in it together’.”

Whaling noted that during the lean, recession years Smarter Systems pushed hard and worked to serve their customer needs, delivering on promises, watching expenses and staying close to their core company values. These fundamentals served the company well. In its first year of business the company far exceeded all benchmarks for revenue set at inception. In its second year, it doubled in gross revenue and kept expenses impressively low. In these challenging economic times, Whaling feels grateful to a committed team of employees and loyal customers who make it happen.

Whaling commented, “We are ready to take Smarter Systems to the next level. Theresa and the rest of the management team possess a vision for Smarter Systems that makes me very proud. I couldn’t be more excited about 2011 and beyond.”

Cisco Systems Launches New Instructional Videos

The increased global business challenges which have been experienced over the last few days, as a result of the recent volcanic eruptions in Iceland, have highlighted the need for constant accessibility to practical answers, expert advice, and proven solutions which are available 24-7 and without an over reliance on planes, trains and automobiles.

Cisco as the worldwide leader in networking aims to transform how people connect, communicate and collaborate and open up possibilities around the world for companies in a format that is convenient for users. The disruption caused by the grounding of flights across the UK, Ireland, Norway, northern France, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, the Netherlands and Belgium, demonstrates the need for increased borderless networking and improved online solutions.

Intranet Connections Intranet Software Will Be Releasing The Latest Version Of Its Intranet 2.0 Software Suite In September 2009

Intranet Connections Intranet Software will be releasing the latest version of its intranet 2.0 software suite in September 2009. Version 9.5 will feature a more robust Document Management module that incorporates 2.0 tools such as Ajax tree navigation, tagging, breadcrumbs, versioning, approval workflow, user subscriptions, document comments and a ratings voting system. The new Document Management utility will provide the simple user experience that is the hallmark of the Intranet Connections software.

“There is an overload of information on social media and the 2.0 enterprise right now, and how that fits in with your corporate intranet,” states Carolyn Douglas, CEO of Intranet Connections. “Our goal is to merge the social and collaborative networking that employees gravitate towards with the practical intranet tools that are necessary in assisting employees in their day-to-day duties.”

In surveying incoming leads for their intranet software, it became apparent that high on the corporate wish list was not a Facebook social networking component, but a document management system, and a way for employees to find and submit electronic forms. Respondents wanted to leverage an intranet for cost savings, to reduce resources, help employees to function at a higher productivity level and to provide a central hub for all corporate information.

“Enterprise 2.0 tools that encourage communication, collaboration, knowledge and information sharing will enhance the use of an intranet site, but it doesn’t make an intranet site. Social media that is regulated and private on the internal corporate network can be a great add on to the core applications that are the backbone of an intranet, such as Document Management, Policies & Procedures, a Form Builder utility, Job Postings, Calendaring, Support Desk Ticketing, a Knowledgebase, and Employee Training.” says Carolyn Douglas.

In addition to Document Management, Intranet Connections v9.5 provides employee social profiles with a mini photo gallery of your co-workers, and an application where employees can go to share ideas, comment and vote. The Training Calendar application provides more admin control over email notifications and registrations, and streamlines the management of students. The Discussion Forum has become more transparent and employee profiles and photos are featured with topics, and the intranet home page offers content feeds and widgets that can be moved and positioned to create a portal gateway.

Intranet Connections Intranet Software is a feature-rich, out-of-the-box intranet solution with content and document management that focuses on ease of use, collaboration and employee ownership. Over 1300 organizations world-wide have chosen Intranet Connections to improve their employee communications, centralize their corporate information, save costs and increase productivity.
