“Outsourcing our email services became a very easy decision when we realized the quality, support, and reliability Webmail. us could offer us and our customers,” explained Rick Kolstad, founder and chief executive officer of wisnet. com, LLC. “As a value-added service, it did not make sense for us to continue to host and maintain email services when this can be done by a team that is focused on offering enterprise level email services. It is much more beneficial for us to stay focused on our profit centers. Providing great web-based products and great customer service is our goal — this is how we continue to grow.”

The Webmail. us Private Label Reseller Program provides wisnet. com with the following key advantages:

Ability to offer email hosting services protected from spam, viruses, and other security threats Ability to differentiate from other service providers by offering feature-rich web-based email Elimination of ongoing maintenance of costly email-related hardware and software applications Cost savings associated with the elimination of future hardware and software upgrades and installations

They’ve been hosting email themselves for many years and realize the workload and costs involved. We’re happy to be able to offload the email hosting so that they can focus all of their energy on building value for their customers.”

“My personal favorite feature is the workload and stress-load that is being taken off our shoulders,” Kolstad explained. “We strive to offer the best possible services—‘perfect' email service is tough to accomplish and very important to achieve. Reliability, reduced spam, eliminated viruses, reduced stress, and a dedicated team that can take care of issues when they pop up are all very important.”

Smart Soil Solutions Kits to Debut on the Daily Grommet

Smart Soil Solutions Kits to Debut on the Daily Grommet

John & Bob's GrowGreen Smart Soil Solutions new line of soil solutions kits were selected out of thousands of products for a Daily Grommet.

Portland, OR (PRWEB) May 21, 2010

The Daily Grommet is a nationally recognized blog focused on exciting new products for early adopters. Products are selected based on their innovation and utility. Companies selected have to have passionate customers who believe in the product and recommend the company. Before being selected the company is evaluated to ensure that the product works and the company treats its customers well.

To celebrate this honor John & Bob's is going to debut its updated line of smart soil solutions kits. These kits make it easier for gardeners to solve some very common gardening challenges.

The new kits are:
Clay/Hard Soil Solutions Kit
Sandy Soil Solutions Kit
Natures Gardening Kit for Lifeless Soil

Each of these kits will be offered in the 250 sq ft, 1000 sq ft, and 4000 sq ft. size. As a special promotion the 1000sq ft and the 4000sq ft kits will include free shipping on Tuesday, May 25, 2010.

All of these kits include solutions that represent a new category of microbe supplementation and nourishment to improve and build up the soil. This improves the bioavailability of the sugars and micronutrients in the soil to improve plant health, growth and production.

Application of these products is very simple. Any gardener can easily spread the John & Bob’s solutions on the top of their soil and simply water them into the soil. It’s that easy! According to John Valentino, Co-founder of John & Bob’s Corp., “By applying the John & Bob’s soil solutions as outlined in each kit any gardener can attain very healthy soil with a high level of available nutrients within one year of application. This soil would be equivalent to soil that has been heavily supplemented with compost, worm casting, and other organic fertilizers.” Because the products utilize microbes to break down the nutrients within the soil as well as aerate the soil they cannot burn or hurt plants like many traditional fertilizers or soil amendments. In fact because of the way John & Bob’s solutions work they actually help plants better absorb the nutrients from fertilizers and other amendments already in the soil.

Another unique feature of the John & Bob’s solutions is that by improving the microbial biodiversity within the soil plant diseases are greatly reduced or eliminated. Because the of the increased availability of simple sugars and nutrients to the plants overall production and flavor is increased., According to Steve Goto, a veteran nurseryman and founder of GoTomato, “ As part of my ongoing heirloom tomato testing program I have utilized the John & Bob’s products under a variety of conditions. I have consistently had greater production out of all my plants as well as a more intense series of flavors. During a recent winter test we had fifty tomato plants we were growing under adverse temperature conditions. Of those fifty plants only fifteen survived. These surviving plants were the ones we were testing the John & Bob’s GrowGreen Smart Soil Solutions on. Whenever customers ask me how to have the healthiest plants and vegetable I strongly recommend John & Bob’s soil solutions.”

By providing these simple soil solutions kits John & Bob hope to change the way we all garden and make it easier for more people to enjoy gardening. We hope you come and see our new products as they debut on the Daily Grommet on Tuesday, May 25th 2010.

New Canadian Headquarters in Northern Toronto Opened

New Canadian Headquarters in Northern Toronto Opened

National Detection Clinics Ltd. has completed the opening of its Canadian headquarters located in Northern Toronto, Ontario.

Rochester, NY (PRWEB) October 21, 2004

NQB: NADE or NDCLF): National Detection Clinics Ltd. has completed the opening of its Canadian headquarters located in Northern Toronto, Ontario. The new operations base will be used as main headquarters for all of our activities in Canada and Eastern Sea Board of the United States. The facility is just under 3,000 square feet in size and is sufficient at this time to manage existing expansion plans.

Canada was chosen mainly because of its progressive universal health care system and its positive attitude towards second tier health care providers, such as our facilities. Toronto, Canada's corporate capital and leading business address, is home to more nationally and internationally top-ranked companies than any other Canadian city. The city's business infrastructure makes modern business in Toronto seamless. In this era of inter-connected global business, Toronto, with one of the largest networks of fibre-optic cable of any North American city, has the technology and bandwidth to move information faster than the speed of modern business. Toronto's highly skilled, educated and multi-lingual workforce provides the knowledge and know-how to keep Toronto businesses ahead of the rest.

Due to the close proximity and similar demographics to our Rochester office, these other factors also greatly influenced our decision to continue our expansion plans into Canada:

The 2002 KPMG Report "Competitive Alternatives: A Comparison of Business Costs in North America, Europe and Japan" found Toronto to be at least 12.1 per cent more cost-effective than any of the other U. S. cities in the study Financial centre of Canada, 4th largest in North America, employing 176,000 in financial sector Home to 90 per cent of Canada's foreign banks, and its top accounting and mutual fund companies, and 80 per cent of Canada's largest R&D, law, advertising and high-tech firms Known as "Silicon Valley North" with seven of the top 10 information technology companies, including the Canadian headquarters and research centers of Apple, Hewlett-Packard and Sun Microsystems North America's 3rd largest Stock Exchange by value traded More than 76,000 businesses generate a gross domestic product of $98 billion and employ over 1.3 million people 40 per cent of Canadian companies on Fortune's Global 500 are in Toronto The nation's largest employment centre, with one sixth of Canada's jobs, and strong employment in both manufacturing and service industries one third of Canada's population is located within 160 km radius of Toronto one half of the population of the United States is within one day's drive of Toronto. The 4th highest concentration of commercial software companies in the world, and one of North America's hottest animation centers. One of the best telecommunications networks in the world, with one of the highest percentage of fibre optic cable installed, and more wireless phones per capita, than anywhere in North America

The Company is introducing Early Detection Cancer Clinics to North America. Our clinics will use FDA approved Infra-red Thermal Imaging Technology. This non-invasive form of diagnosis determines structure changes in the tissues, leading to possible Early Detection.

Cautionary Statement: This press release contains certain forward looking statements. Forward looking statements, by their nature, carry associated risks, especially risks concerning the possibility that some or all events envisaged in such statements will not materialize in the future. The Company relies on litigation protection for forward looking statements.

JobZen Announces Launch of New Staffing Model for Independent Recruiters

JobZen Announces Launch of New Staffing Model for Independent Recruiters

JobZen offers senior Staffing Professionals the opportunity to be successful on their own and retain a dramatically larger percentage of their billings. JobZen provides the tools and support needed to extend market reach, leverage time, build brand value and remove the major administrative burdens associated with running a staffing enterprise. JobZen enables top performers to focus on what’s important -- growing their business and surpassing client expectations while working with a team that is dedicated to their success.

Toronto, Ontario (PRWEB) November 21, 2005

Today JobZen (www. jobzen. ca) announced the launch of a new business model for the Canadian staffing industry.

JobZen’s Associate Programs provide a platform for Staffing Professionals to operate independently under their own brand. Designed for recruiters who are working for an agency, corporate HR department or independently, JobZen’s bundled services equip individuals to build their own enterprise with the support of qualified professionals. JobZen Associates retain up to 90% of fees and still enjoy the benefits of working in a larger organization.

JobZen services include: brand development, marketing, mentoring, technology, training, administration, accounting, employer of record (EOR) services, contractor financing, and access to a network of independent recruiters.

The founder and President of JobZen, Brian Kennedy, explains, “It is increasingly apparent that there is a mind-set in the staffing industry that is limiting the growth of top performers. Over the last decade market corrections and new technologies, such as the internet, have added layers of complexity to the recruiter’s world and changed the way they do business.

The net result has been an industry of high-performers who are saddled with antiquated business models that don’t promote personal growth and drastically limit earning potential. Recruiters are expected to find better jobs for other people yet in many cases the recruiters themselves are undervalued and poorly managed by their employers.

The JobZen model has been designed to meet the unmet needs of today’s staffing professionals. Senior recruiters have developed networks of relationships based on trust and have spent many years building their personal “brands”. JobZen supports those brands and provides the infrastructure and services that allow those performers to focus their time and energy on business development and service delivery, without the distraction and time consumption of managing administration.

We believe senior recruiters have earned the right to work at their own pace, work when they need to, work where they want to and earn what they’re worth.”

Mr. Kennedy added, “We're extremely pleased to announce that “Science of Staffing” (www. scienceofstaffing. com), a leader in recruitment of clinical and health care professionals has joined JobZen. We are very excited to have this highly regarded organization join the JobZen family.”
