AVS Technology Breaks Iron Triangle of Good Fast and Cheap
by Anthony W. Hawks, Chief Legal Officer, e-LYNXX Corporation
AVS Technology is the basic procedural component of any automated solution for buying custom goods and services that must be defined by production or performance specifications at the time of purchase. It includes the following steps:
ENTER vendor attributes
ENTER project specifications
MATCH vendor attributes to project specifications to determine sub-set of qualified vendors
SEND project specifications to sub-set of qualified vendors
RECEIVE a bid response from at least one vendor
When these steps are applied using a computer-operated system, a unique competitive bidding environment can be established where vendors of custom goods and services are now willing to offer their lowest prices to fill idle production capacity. This strategy is called “contribution pricing”. When vendors bid work (even when bidding well below normal rates), any income obtained above out-of-pocket costs “contributes” to fixed costs and overhead and, when absorbed, to their bottom lines.
Prior to AVS Technology, buyers of custom goods and services were faced with the “iron triangle” of quality, timeliness, and cost. Regardless of the industry involved, every procurement or supply chain solution seeks to attract business customers that want to achieve the purchasing trifecta of “good, fast, and cheap.” Before AVS Technology, however, a buyer could only achieve two of these three goals at any one time, not all three simultaneously.
AVS Technology breaks the “iron triangle” because it allows pre-qualified vendors with excess idle capacity to provide an extraordinary low price without risk of establishing future buyer price expectations. In other words, price is no longer tied to quality and timeliness of delivery. This is what makes AVS Technology integral to all current and future e-commerce methods and systems for buying custom goods and services including ERP systems, general supply chain management systems, specialized product or service procurement systems, and even older legacy systems. One such system for organizations with significant buying needs in direct mail, marketing, publications, packaging, labeling and other types of print is currently being offered by American Print Management. Regardless of the industry or buying need, however, all users and providers of such e-commerce methods or systems are required to license AVS Technology if they wish to benefit from this revolutionary innovation.
AVS Technology is unique in creating a controlled bidding environment in which repetitive purchasers of custom goods and services can leverage the open production capacity of their preferred vendors in a way that virtually guarantees “contribution pricing” that is, below normal pricing that seeks primarily to absorb out-of-pocket costs and some level of fixed costs and overhead. This is accomplished by allowing qualified vendors to bid high, low, or not at all (1) without having to consider buyer pricing expectations; (2) without fear of setting either high or low precedent for future bid prices; and (3) without worrying about being denied future bid opportunities for which the vendor is qualified. Freed from these concerns, bidders offer pricing based on their open production capacity at the time each job is bid, knowing that if they bid low this week when they are hungry for work, they are not bound to offer the same low price next week when they are busy with other orders.
The technology is based on a series of patents that the U.S. Patent Office awarded to e-LYNXX Corporation, including Patent No. 6,397,197, Patent No. 7,451,106, post-Bilski Patent No. 7,788,143, and Continuing Application 12/8885,423 (collectively, the “AVS Technology”). This thicket of patents covers all custom goods and services, not just print.
Licensing AVS Technology should be viewed as both a strategic benefit and a legal requirement. Any organization with a computer-operated system that procures custom goods and services, by following the steps outlined in AVS Technology, is required to obtain a license to use (or continue using) the patented procedure protected by AVS Technology. This applies to systems that are developed internally as well as those used through third-party brokers, procurement services and system providers. Organizations should check with their system or service providers to ensure that the system being used is in compliance with AVS Technology licensing requirements.

Screen Sharing to reduce CO2 Gas Emission
The screen sharing technology simply lets you control the mouse and keyboard of one computer while you sit at another computer within the shouting distance or on the other side of the world. This technology is really useful for the business people to cut the travel cost and save time. With screen sharing, you can also help the planet to be healthy by reducing CO2 gas emission.
Help Reduce Carbon Emissions with Screen Sharing
While screen sharing technology is praised for making the completion of everyday business and personal tasks easier and quicker, it is still unknown to many that such a simple solution carries great benefits for the environment. By organizing business and private meetings to be held live over the web, the need to travel for a face-to-face meeting is radically diminished or even removed. The obvious result of such technology is a reduction in CO2 gas emissions and lower levels of air pollution. Another major benefit for the environment in using screen sharing technology is avoiding deforestation. Professionals would now use screen shots and emails instead of taking printouts and documents for face-to-face meetings.
On average, a single ton of paper would be produced from 17 trees. An individual tree is said to produce on average 476,637 sheets of paper.
Now just think about how many companies are using papers everyday for handouts in meetings and for other purposes. According to the Economist Intelligence Unit Report the majority of decision-makers see screen sharing software as a viable alternative to cut CO2 emissions. So by implementing a sustainable carbon-neutral meeting culture, businesses can raise their profile as pioneers. There are numerous web conferencing vendors available in the market that serves its best to the users and our planet as well.
It is now possible to do the right thing for the planet and provide an excellent opportunity for companies to be visibly “green”.
Advantages of Screen Sharing Technology
Helps business people to train workers or update clients
Helps employees to collaborate and share knowledge with other co-worker or colleague from any location
Reduces the hassle of traveling
Saves money and time in traveling
Helps in reducing CO2 emissions
Helps through avoiding deforestation
How CRM hosting becomes beneficial to our business process
A type of application that often pulls much of its data from the organizations data warehouse is customer relationship management (CRM). A CRM system attempts to provide an integrated approach to all aspects of interaction a company has with its customers, including marketing, sales, and support. The goal of a CRM system is to use technology to forge a strong relationship between a business and its customers. To look at CRM in another way, the business is seeking to better manage its own enterprise around customer behaviors.
A variety of software packages have been created to manage customer relationships, most based on capturing, updating, and utilizing extensive profiles of individual customers. These profiles are often stored in a data warehouse, and data mining is used to extract relevant information about the firms customers. Furthermore, customer profiles are made available online to all those in the company who might interact with a customer. In addition, Web-based frontends have been created so that a customer can interact with the company online to obtain information about products and services offered by the company, to place an order, to check on the status of an existing order, to seek answers from a knowledge base, or to request service.
CRM software packages enable organizations to market to, sell to, and service customers across multiple channels, including the Web, call centers, field representatives, business partners, and retail and dealer networks.
The capabilities of CRM tools can further be increased by hosting it on our own hosted platform or by getting service with any application hosting provider. Hosted CRM helps us to have access from anywhere and anytime, that ultimately becomes very productive if we have frequently traveling employees. CRM hosting also works perfectly with a business that is spreaded in the form of many branches located at different physical locations. If we host our CRM using by any service provider, we get unlimited free technical support. Hosting provider also takes care of different IT aspects like: daily data backup, security, updates, installation and uninstallation, upgrades and technical supports.
Hosting providers use cloud computing to deliver hosted CRM software. Cloud computing increases the performance to have a fast infrastructure resources. Cloud based CRMs are even cheaper than the locally setup CRM tools. We can further derive our hosted CRM platform setup to host our other software or associated tools. This way, we can get a combined setup for our entire office needs and that is accessible from anywhere and using any device like: PC, MAC, notebook and smartphones.
[Top]The Sony Ericsson Vivaz Incorporates A Wealth Of Technology
A recent UK TV advertising campaign suggests that Sony Ericsson has high hopes for it new handset, the Vivaz. If the spec list is anything to go by, it certainly looks set to be popular. Its key features include touch screen navigation, an 8.1 mega pixel camera with the ability to shoot HD video, and Wi-Fi internet access.
The Vivaz utilises both vibration and ringing to alert users to incoming calls and messages, with the option to assign MO3 music files as ringtones. This allows users to customise their phones so they can hear whatever song they like when the phone rings. In order to achieve handsfree communication, both a speakerphone system and an audio jack are included, the latter of which accommodates both earphones for listening to music, and handsfree headsets.
An array of features is included as standard, which accomplish a range of everyday tasks. A versatile media player supports most common formats of both music and video files, such as MP3 and MP4. Alongside this, a stereo FM radio player is included, as is a selection of pre-installed games along with access to a library of additional downloadable games. Social networking fans are well catered for with Facebook and Twitter apps which offer a convenient method of directly accessing these sites. YouTube and Picasa integration is an impressive feature which allows photos and video s taken on the phone’s camera to be directly uploaded to these sites in seconds for the world to enjoy.
The Vivaz relies on touch screen technology for navigation of the Symbian Series 60 user interface. The 3.2 inch TFT resistive touch screen displays up to 16M colours within a pixel layout of 360×640 for high quality display of on screen content, offering great levels of detail and clarity. An accelerometer sensor is built into the screen for auto-rotate of the on screen content, so it can be viewed in both portrait and landscape forms. Another interesting feature of the screen is an accurate handwriting recognition tool.
Internal memory within the Vivaz is 75 MG as standard, which offers a good deal of storage for data such as music tracks, video clips or photos. A micro SD card slot is also provided for the same purpose, with a pre-installed 8 GB card. This can be upgraded, however, by installing a card of up to 16 GB in the card slot. This would provide enough storage for most people’s needs. The internal phonebook features the popular photocall function. This allows users to assign a photo to each contact. This is in turn displayed on the screen whenever that person calls or is called.
As mentioned, a powerful 8 mega pixel camera is included, which offers extremely high quality photos along with the ability to shoot gorgeous HD video. A TV out port means the phone can be plugged into a compatible HD TV so High Definition can be enjoyed in all its glory.
Both 3G and Wi-Fi provide fast internet connections dependent upon location, and class 10 versions of both EDGE and GPRS keep the Vivaz connected to cellular networks.
With such impressive hardware as well as software, it would be surprising if this exciting new handset was anything less of a hit for the manufacturer.
