Oracle VP joins cBrain Technology

Oracle VP joins cBrain Technology

Former Oracle VP Peter Perregaard joins cBrain Technology as a partner and co-owner. Until April 2004 he was VP EMEA for Oracle Corp.

(PRWEB) November 24, 2004

"I have spent the past 6 months evaluating the market potential for the latest technology opportunities and related companies. In my opinion the most exciting change is to be found in connection with the emergence of service oriented architecture (SOA) with individual web services support for business processes. This paradigm will fundamentally change the software industry", says Peter Perregaard.

CBrain Technology has worked with SOA based process solutions for several years and has the potential to take a leadership position in this marketplace. I chose to join cBrain in order to help exploit this international potential which very few European software companies have done to this extent, he continues.

CBrain was founded in 2002 by Per Tejs Knudsen, the original founder of Maconomy. Maconomy is listed on the Copenhagen stock exchange. From the start cBrain has focused on optimizing business and knowledge processes using component based web solutions as the starting point – a practice that gets more and more popular within large corporations and organizations looking for efficient process optimization delivered in weeks rather than years.

CBrainÂ’s process apps challenges decades of IT thinking. Instead of supporting all kind of processes with standard solutions like ERP or CRM you optimize individual processes with individual web services fully integrated with the rest of the organization's infrastructure. The potential for process optimization is huge and I believe it is impossible for large corporations to ignore this development, Peter Perregaard concludes.

CBrain has implemented solutions for a number of large companies in Europe and the USA. Peter PerregaardÂ’s experience will benefit both clients and employees and help develop cBrain internationally.

Per Tejs Knudsen says: We spent the first 2 years establishing a sound component based technology platform, a healthy customer base and a sound and profitable business model. Peter Perregaard is a great step forward with respect to exploiting the market potential of cBrainÂ’s technology platform.

Peter Perregaard starts December 1st 2004 in the Copenhagen, Denmark office.

About cBrain:

CBrain delivers individual WEB solutions supporting business processes, communication and knowledge sharing.

Challenging 20 years of IT thinking where all types of processes had to be supported by a standard solution, cBrainÂ’s innovative SOA design methodology takes its starting point in the organizationÂ’s critical success factors by supporting the core business processes and roles with focused process applications. Enabling business development to spring from a continuous assessment of which processes will benefit the most from being optimized in contrast to traditional standard systems where you have to postpone the process optimization until the next upgrade version of the standard system is available, often only once a year.

Technically cBrainÂ’s solutions are based on XML and service oriented architecture (SOA) and the individual customer solutions are based on a library of XML components. The consequences of this development method are more flexible solutions, faster delivery resulting in less expensive projects.

CBrainÂ’s projects cover a number of solution areas in both private and public sector, e. g. Content Management (CMS), Document Management, Workflow Support, Portals, e-Business, e-Procurement and Membership Management.

Customers include Carlsberg, DRV, British Tourist Industry, Clear Channel, Emperion, Frederikshavn Municipality, Divas Uncorked, Railion, SEAS, SocialDemocrats og Sonofon Partner.

Nick Jonas Joins with Washington Nationals to Support Children with Diabetes

Nick Jonas Joins with Washington Nationals to Support Children with Diabetes

Nick Jonas of the Jonas Brothers has lent his star power to the Washington Nationals to raise awareness of diabetes and support the creation of a new Pediatric Diabetes Care Complex at Children's National Medical Center in the nation's capital.

Washington, DC (Vocus) July 10, 2009

Nick Jonas of the Jonas Brothers has lent his star power to the Washington Nationals to raise awareness of diabetes and support the creation of a new Pediatric Diabetes Care Complex at Children's National Medical Center in the nation's capital. In a new PSA aired at the Washington Nationals game July 5, 16-year-old Jonas, who has Type 1 diabetes, encouraged fans to "text to give" to support children with diabetes. For each person who texts the word "NATS" to 90999, a $5 donation to Children's National Medical Center is billed to the donor's phone bill. The PSA appears on the Children's National website at http://tinyurl. com/jonas-text.

Approximately 20 million Americans, including a growing number of children, have been diagnosed with diabetes. Children with diabetes, if it is not managed appropriately, are at risk of developing serious health complications, such as heart disease, kidney disease, blindness, stroke, and loss of circulation resulting in amputation of limbs. There is no cure for diabetes; it is a 24-hour-a-day disease requiring intervention, monitoring, and balancing food choices to maintain a child's health.

The Washington Nationals Dream Foundation has committed $2 million toward the new Pediatric Diabetes Care Complex at Children's National, and all text donations will help reach the $5 million needed for the complex.

About Children's National Medical Center
Children's National Medical Center, located in Washington, D. C., is a proven leader in the development of innovative new treatments for childhood illness and injury. Children's has been serving the nation's children for nearly 140 years. Children's National is ranked among the best pediatric hospitals in America by US News & World Report and the Leapfrog Group. For more information, visit http://www. childrensnational. org/give.

Terms of Service
A one-time donation of $5 will be added to your mobile phone bill or deducted from your prepaid balance. Standard messaging rates and additional fees may apply. All charges are billed by and payable to your mobile service provider. Service is available on most carriers. Donations are collected for the benefit of Children's National Medical Center by the Mobile Giving Foundation and subject to the terms found at http://www. hmgf. org/t. You can unsubscribe at any time by texting "STOP" to short code 90999 or text "HELP" to 90999 for help.

HometownQuotes. Com Expands West

HometownQuotes. Com Expands West

Online Insurance Company Adds Colorado, Texas, and Missouri as Newest Markets. HometownQuotes. Com, an online insurance quotes service, has begun servicing select markets west of the Mississippi including all of Colorado, Austin and Dallas, Texas, and Kansas City and St. Louis, Missouri.

Pinebluff, NC (PRWEB) April 2, 2005

HometownQuotes. Com, an online insurance quotes service, has begun servicing select markets west of the Mississippi including all of Colorado, Austin and Dallas, Texas, and Kansas City and St. Louis, Missouri. Previous markets include Nashville, Philadelphia, Louisville, and Knoxville, Tennessee.

“We have taken the approach that slow growth is best for our customers, our agents, and ourselves,” said Matt McWilliams, Vice-President of Customer Relations. “Our number one goal is to provide both insurance consumers and agents with an easier way to reach each other.”

Customers using HometownQuotes. Com are able to get quotes for a variety of products such as homeowners, auto, renters, life and health insurance by filling out one simple form. Up to five agents compete for each customers business. The questions asked on the forms are the same questions that are most often asked by insurance agents in providing accurate quotes for consumers.

The general concept of HometownQuotes. Com is not a new idea. Online quotes services have been around for over a decade. HometownQuotes. Com is unique in two aspects though. First, it was founded by insurance agents who know the insurance business and understand the questions that consumers have. These agents designed the site specifically with the consumer in mind.

Secondly, the marketing strategy differs from the other sites as well. HometownQuotes. Com markets its services locally and not on a national scale. “We feel that this accomplishes two main objectives,” McWilliams said. “It targets consumers who want a local agent, rather than a faceless 800 number halfway across the country, and it allows us to control our growth, which helps us provide a better service to both our agents and our customers.”

The site has become known for its dedication to providing educational materials as well, to customers and agents alike. The agents run two blogs, one with money-saving insurance tips and another filled with insurance industry news for agents and industry executives.

The URLs for the main site and the blogs are provided below:
