Ryanair is a unique brand. It managed to become one of Europe's most-successful airlines despite a reputation for poor service that occasionally bordered on contempt for its own customers.
The 'no frills', challenger brand ethos became such an important part of Ryanair's image and tone of voice that it ended up antagonising consumers as well as the competition.
But changing consumer expectations and mass adoption of digital technology means that Ryanair risks being left behind if it doesn't change its ways, so new CMO Kenny Jacobs has been tasked with overhauling the customer experience and improving people's perceptions of the brand.
The airline's appeal comes from its low prices and massive choice of routes, so that has to remain intact if the business is to continue growing. Therefore Jacobs is focusing much of his efforts on improving the digital experience.
The biggest change is going to come in all things digital. So what data we get on customers, how we use it to make the experience better, how we personalise and retarget, what we do on CRM, mobile and content.
All of those things over the next two years will become the bigger levers of, not new growth, but improved customer retention.
Implementing an effective digital strategy within a business that has been lagging behind the competition is no easy task. So what exactly does Jacobs have planned?
Digital vs. traditional advertising
Ryanair is in an enviable position where it has already established massive brand awareness, so Jacobs' faces different challenges to most CMOs.
If you contrast it with price comparison, which is where I previously worked, everyone in that industry is bidding massively for PPC and is working really hard to own the key terms in SEO just to create brand awareness.
But we have incredible brand awareness, so the job is to communicate that we're making changes and improving the service.
This impacts Ryanair's marketing budget and the channels that it uses to broadcast its message, and in order to make a big noise about the new brand image Ryanair chose to run its first ever TV campaign.
Jacobs sees TV and above-the-line advertising as the perfect method to communicate the changes, and consumer research shows that the campaign has been a success in terms of driving site traffic, awareness of new services and brand reappraisal.
But once these initial goals have been achieved then there will be a greater focus on digital advertising.
Once we've improved the product and the service we'll aim to use digital such as the website itself, email, retargeting and display to communicate our prices, alongside a bit of above-the-line and our owned media within the aircraft and airports.
According to Jacobs around 40% of Ryanair customers are repeat buyers and the company is busy developing its CRM platform as it works to improve this rate of retention.
Ryanair works with a custom-built CRM platform and is also building a new data platform on Hadoop, but much of what Jacobs has planned is on hold until all the systems are in place and feeding into one another.
At the moment the target is to have the CRM platform in place by September, at which point Ryanair can begin to implement more targeting and personalisation.
We need to be able to feed all the customer and user data back into the platform, so we can personalise the experience including everything from the desktop journey down to the emails that we send you.
The company is so far behind in terms of its digital marketing that it still can't send targeted email campaigns, a channel that Jacobs believes will be extremely powerful for improving the customer experience.
We want to be able to start adding in new stuff like personalised content on where they're going to, as well as upselling ancillaries. We haven't done that well enough so far.
The new website
It wasn't going to be difficult for Ryanair to improve its clunky, old school website, but the new site that went live in April is a massive improvement.
Ryanair's old website
The interface and booking system are far more user-friendly, however this is only the beginning of the development process.
At my previous companies building a website would be like unveiling the new Taj Mahal, and then you had the next one two years later. Now you start in a caravan and upgrade it bit by bit and keep things moving forward, it's a more iterative process.
Jacobs has daily meetings with his ecommerce team to track visits and conversions in each market, as well as flagging up any anomalies and discussing any issues that are being worked on.
Bigger development projects are then discussed in more depth at regular weekly and monthly meetings.
Ryanair's new site
Part of the challenge is that Ryanair operates in 30 markets and in 18 different languages, so it's a huge task to understand how conversions are affected along the entire journey.
To help solve this problem the company is on a massive recruitment drive for developers and data scientists, with plans to triple the size of the dev team in the next few years to around 100 employees.
Search issues
It was thanks to Ryanair's attention to detail that it was able to quickly rectify an error with its URL structure that occurred when the new site went live.
The airline failed to implement redirects for many of its old pages, which meant that 404 pages began showing up in SERPs and caused a massive drop in rankings.
But though the problem made the national news, it wasn't a big deal for Ryanair as around 90% of traffic comes direct or from people searching the brand name.
It was only long-tail terms that were affected, and as non-branded search makes up just 0.5% of traffic it wasn't the end of the world.
According to Jacobs:
For many head terms, like 'cheap flights', the rankings actually went up, but it was the long tail that was impacted. I'd take an increase in the head terms vs. a drop in the long tail any time.
Going mobile
Jacobs admits that Ryanair has fallen behind when it comes to mobile, and despite unveiling the new website in April it still doesn't have a mobile optimised version.
I'll be honest, Ryanair wasn't aware enough of the change in consumer behaviour in moving to mobile. It wasn't a strategic decision to take our time, we've missed it and we're now catching up.
That process is well underway with a mobile optimised site due to go live in June followed by an app in July that will allow customers to search and book flights, check in, and use a mobile boarding pass.
Sadly that comes too late for those of us that had to pay £65 to print out a boarding pass in the past...
New content
With the new site and a move to social marketing it's inevitable that Ryanair will need to start producing more of its own content.
At the moment the website is quite thin but the content team is in the process of creating hub pages and content guides for key locations.
However Jacobs pointed out that if Ryanair is to deliver a truly excellent customer experience then it needs to go beyond generic content that can be found anywhere on the web.
For example, if a customer is heading to Barcelona for the weekend we need to be able to come up with unique and interesting ideas rather than just advising people to go to Las Ramblas.
Jacobs said that one of the brand's strengths in this area is its range of destinations, which could make user-generated content an interesting option.
This would also feed into its social strategy as the content would be eminently more shareable than branded comms.
Ryanair only joined Twitter in late 2013 but it has already posted close to 10,000 tweets thanks to its focus on answering customer service queries.
This includes questions about specific routes, flight delays and even problems with the website.
@twitrayon Hi Alexandre, this route is not operating at the moment. Thank You. AA
— Ryanair (@Ryanair) May 6, 2014
The content and earned media teams also have some control over the Twitter feed, but it's primarily used by the customer service department.
Jacobs said the aim is to build out a wider presence across Twitter, Facebook, Google+ and YouTube then integrate the user data back into its CRM platform. As with other aspects of Ryanair's digital strategy, there is still some way to go until this is full implemented.
That trinity of social, content and mobile, and how we figure out what we want to do there and integrate it into our customer experience, will be a first for us.
Retain its challenger brand status
Despite the massive changes that are underway in terms of the customer experience, Ryanair will retain its tone of voice and position as a challenger brand.
This is evident with the new TV adverts, which promote the improved website while giving a sly nod to the brand's reputation for dodgy customer service.
Irony is a very good tool to use, as I think people expected us to do a bit of mea culpa and apologise, but the setup we went for has worked without being too clever.
Rather than trying to be very classy or stick two fingers up, we want to be confident in the product that we have and still position ourselves as the challenger brand.
This means we can expect a new style of communication from Ryanair, one that has a modern outlook and doesn't rely on controversy for spikes in PR.
That said, the challenger brand status does mean there's room for the occasional disruptive campaign, with Jacobs citing K-Swiss and Dollar Shave Club as examples that Ryanair might seek to emulate.
Digital video is cheaper and focuses on a different audience. We need that as Ryanair is for everyone.
All things considered, Jacobs has a big task ahead of him at Ryanair, with the ultimate aim being to establish the company as a leader in digital rather than a laggard.
But he benefits from the fact that the company is seeking to make changes from a position of strength.
I've a very supportive boss who's up for change, so we just need to get on with it. We're not precious about things as we've become Europe's biggest airline with, let's be honest, a rubbish website that didn't work on mobile and barely worked on tablet. We didn't even have a decent email programme.
So imagine if we hold on to the low fares, keep adding the destinations and have a great website that works on mobile alongside our app. If we then improve the in-flight service as well, then the opportunity is huge.
Kenny Jacobs will be speaking at our Festival of Marketing event in November, a two day celebration of the modern marketing industry, featuring speakers from brands including Tesco, Barclays, FT.com and more.

What a load of crap. Ryanair may think that a shiny new website will lead to an overall increase in customer satisfaction but the reality is that customers are still duped into paying insurance they don't need, still offered flights to destinations hundreds of miles from where they actually want to go and, more importantly, still subjected to terrible face-to-face customer service with rude, snarling, out to rip you off staff at every stage of the actual journey.
Savvy travellers are not being "had" by this marketing campaign and know full well that it is a desperate attempt to claw back the millions of customers that have been conned by this lazy excuse for an airline in the past. They fly EasyJet and BA who offer a fully transparent booking process and, more importantly, a smile and some element of recourse when things go t*ts up.
Do not be fooled.
News to me. Since when does Ryanair care about their customer experience? The CEO sure doesn't sound like he does and last I checked this is where corporate culture starts, at the top.
It would seem the website has had a 'new look', however their company ethos hasn't changed.
They also still have no presence on Facebook or Google+ and their Twitter cover image is out of date and doesn't fit within the new guidelines.
If they're going to do something then they should make sure their branding is up to date on every channel and ensure they have visibility.
I consider myself a savvy shopper / traveller and as much as I don't like the inflight experience of Ryanair, I often fly with them. Mostly it's because they fly to the destinations I want to go to, but also because I know I can get a cheap flight with them and if I follow their rules and be organised I don't need to fall into the traps of paying the extras. To say people don't know how to find the box to untick the automatically added insurance is a little patronising to today's online shoppers (albeit the process of having to do so is annoying).
Yes, they are inconvenient and unpleasurable, but they are cheap and they do have all the best routes. I welcome these changes to make the process a little easier and I would happily read emails about new routes, low fares and destinations I've not been to before.
I imagine this is a move born out of necessity, rather than a massive desire to improve customer service.
Ryanair's old site was pretty horrendous and with no mobile offering I presume they were getting to a point where something had to be done to improve basic usability of the site and user retention, particularly on the mobile side of things.
They've never tried to hide the fact that their customer service isn't great but it's worked for them and they've been incredibly successful at what they do. I guess it's trying to find the balancing point between improving their customer service and keeping costs down which is their biggest challenge.
You will rarely find flights as cheap with other airlines and as long as you are aware of Ryanair's tactics in trying to rip you off, it's actually pretty straightforward to book a flight on the website. I fly with them often and know I'm getting what I've paid for, which is absolutely fine with me! Canary Islands for £50 return? Er, yes please!
In terms of their website though, Ryanair not being 'aware enough of the change in consumer behaviour in moving to mobile' isn't the best excuse. It's been coming for a long time! This should have been evident from their website analytics. There is still lots of room for improvement in terms of Ryanair's overall digital marketing strategy but at least it seems they are starting to recognise the importance of digital.
Digital is key. ATL is core element and retaining challenger brand status is very important. Mobile is massive. Social and customer are also keys and content is king.
Seems like a strategy that's stressing the importance of everything to keep people happy, create some PR but ultimately stay exactly the same.
Very good website in my opinion - but what would Alan Sugar say about creating a TV ad about your new shiny website and NOT put the web address on it?
I mean really :-(
By the sounds of things in this article it would appear the core digital strategy is now being put in place that will take a good few months to come to fruition, check.
As other people have commented the not spotting the mobile opportunity sounds like utter hogwash to me.
Fundamentally though no amount of considered digital strategy will help if Ryanair don't get to the very core of what is wrong with the brand. If anything, amplification of social comments will just aid to the ongoing poor performance of the brand.
The ATL attempts to reposition the brand will just antagonise further a very unhappy user base.
They need to fix the offer first and then all else will follow via the virtuous cycle of brand alignment and happy consumers it facilitates.

James Marsden on His Last-Minute Butler Casting and X-Men Rumors
"No, no X-Men, unfortunately."
James Marsden might be a little less recognizable as Quince in this week's 2 Guns, what with his lovely locks all shorn off, but the part of the corrupt Naval commander helped him land a gig as commander-in-chief. While he was in New Orleans for the 2 Guns shoot, he bumped into Lee Daniels on the street, as the director was in town shooting The Butler (or rather Lee Daniels's The Butler, as it's called now). The chance meeting prompted Daniels to call the actor's agent with a proposal, since he was on the hunt for a particularly key role: "I'm kind of thinking he should be my JFK! What's his schedule like?" Being in the right place at the right time paid off, Marsden laughed when Vulture ran into him at the Cinema Society after-party for Prince Avalanche last night. He also told us what it took to fill Kennedy's shoes and dispelled the Cyclops rumors for the next X-Men movie.
Since you were a last-minute add, how much time did you have to prep?
It was a week and a half, which is not a lot of time to go in and play John Kennedy. So I immersed myself in whatever book I could read, I listened to his speeches over and over again, because the first thing that popped up in my mind was, "Don't screw up the accent!" So I had my sights set on that. And it wasn't a long shoot — it was like a week — so I let that kind of be my guide. I knew some stuff about Kennedy, my father is a big Kennedy buff, so he helped fill me in as well. Definitely a crash course, but it was great ...
Have you ever played a historical figure quite like that?
Not of that magnitude, and not someone who is so iconic that everyone has a clear image of what that person stood for and how he sounded. We all know who he is, what he looks like, what he sounds like, so you want to get that right. You're dealing with history, and a very sensitive part of history, so I wanted to bring as much as I could to that.
You had a shaved head for 2 Guns. Did Lee know that? He might have been thrown by that for a second.
He might have. I actually remember walking up to him on the first day and he was like, "Oh? Fine! We're wigging everybody in this movie." And I had prosthetics. I had to wear plumpers in my cheeks, and they made my jawline a little bigger, and little prosthetics on the nose [touches bridge of nose], so he was cool. And I messed with the accent at home. I have a little home recording studio, so I recorded his speeches at home, and I sent them to Lee, "What do you think?" He sent to everybody, "Listen to Marsden do his thing!"
What kind of direction did Lee give?
Lee said, "We've seen the Kennedys be gallant and composed, and seen him be the smartest guy in the room. We've seen the movie stars and we know about the infidelity, but what have we not seen?" And he allowed Minka [Kelly] and I, with him and the writers as well, to explore: What would their arguments be like? The two of them in the bedroom in the White House, what would they be arguing about? What would that look like?
So this is a big month for you, with 2 Guns and The Butler coming out.
On the one hand, it's exciting, but on the other hand, I won't have any films out for a while. Well, Anchorman 2 in December, but you kind of want to spread them out.
And X-Men: Days of Future Past next year, or no? I mean, Cyclops was disintegrated, but if there's time travel ...
No, no X-Men, unfortunately. But who knows? If this next film really works, Bryan [Singer] has said he wants to fix a few things, so hopefully that's one of them. It was great, to have a movie like that, the first two or three X-Men, and the studios in Hollywood work really hard to find a formula that's successful, and you want to keep that intact, so ...
Did you have a chance to see The Wolverine yet? Because Jean Grey, even though she's dead, gets to have a lot of moments in it.
No, I haven't seen it yet, just the trailer ... but I hope that lays the ground for more. We'll see. I always liked Cyclops, but they have a lot of characters that they have to parcel out, spend time with each one, make sure everyone feels like they've been given their due, introduce them appropriately, but you could do a spinoff of every one of those characters and give them so much depth to the story line.
What spinoffs would you like to see?
I'm old-school. I'd like to see the Magneto spinoff. I'd like to see Professor X. They bring such a weight and a gravitas, and I love those two guys.
I'd like to see a Kitty Pryde spinoff.
Who knows? It could happen. Maybe Joss Whedon is the guy to do that one.

San Francisco, San Mateo, Oakland and Surrounding
Greenforce provides high quality cleaning services to the Bay Area using products that are safe for you, for us and for the environment
One of the best green cleaning companies. Since 1993! Natural house and window cleaning for the San Francisco bay area. We provide a freshly environment by using Eco-friendly green cleaning products for homes and offices
Greenforce is located in Cow Hollow which is a stone's throw from the Marina District of San Francisco. We serve San Francisco, Oakland, San Mateo and surrounding areas.
The idea for Greenforce came from the founder's desire to find a reliable cleaning service and her personal interest in using green cleaning products. Greenforce continually researches new housekeeping products that are both safe and effective.
Greenforce is built by its worker-owners who are experienced cleaning professionals. We are licensed, insured and bonded. Our teams have been providing the Bay Area with cleaning services since 1993 (originally starting as Pacific Window Washing and Greenway Maid).
Our satisfied clients include Starbucks, Polo Ralph Lauren, Marriot Hotels and individuals including Mayor Gavin Newsom.
We hope to provide the pleasure of a freshly cleaned environment and to do it in a way that is safe for our customers, ourselves and our environment.
Office and Home Cleaning Services
Green cleaning is about effective cleaning that is safer than traditional methods. We use non-toxic housekeeping products, equipment and procedures that are not only effective, but also help protect your loved ones and the environment.
Our clients are busy professionals, married with children, young singles, and empty nesters. We provide cleaning for pet owners, parents, asthma and allergy sufferers, and those who want to save their energy for things other than housekeeping.
To help maintain our high quality standards and your security, Greenforce screens our applicants and hires only the best candidates. We conduct background checks and verify that each candidate has the necessary documentation to work legally in this country.
Glass is actually a type of stone — a porous substance that requires substantial maintenance to keep its sparkle and its protective qualities.
Glass that is not regularly cleaned can often become stained. Staining left untreated can turn to corrosion (mineralization) and may require costly restoration or in many cases complete glass replacement.
Most experts recommend at least annual maintenance cleaning.
Since 1993 our teams have been offering window cleaning services (including screens, window tracks and window sills) and pressure washing.
Professional window cleaners use only squeegees and specialized tools to clean glass. You can be assured that the streaky look left by paper towels and spray chemicals will be a thing of the past.
Environmentally safe soap is used to clean glass. If your windows require extra attention such as post construction polishing or paint removal please bring it to the attention of our estimators.
References available upon request.
Since our teams are in demand it's wise to schedule cleaning at least two weeks in advance.
Commercial Window Cleaning Services
Our experienced window washers can handle any job and are familiar with chair work, swing stage, boom lift and water-fed pole systems.
Our crews are trained in and understand Cal and Federal OSHA guidelines as well as traffic control regulations (for boom lift street work).
All appropriate workers Comp and Liability insurances are maintained and will accompany any proposal.
We provide house cleaning maid services and window cleaning services to the following areas:
San Francisco , San Mateo, Redwood City, Portola Valley, Los Altos, Palo Alto, San Jose, Atherton, Los Gatos, Cupertino, Saratoga, Sunnyvale, Stanford, Mountainview, Dublin, Pleasanton, Livermore, Danville, Alameda, Castro Valley, Fremont, Oakland, Daly city, South San Francisco, Pacifica, Burlingame, Hillsborough, Belmont, Milbrae, San Bruno, Marin, Alemeda, Tiburon, Saulsalito
Cleaning your gutters is one of the most important things you can do to maintain the beauty and value of your property. When gutters are full of leaves and debris they become heavy and get pulled off pitch. This can result in damage to the fascia and soffit areas. As water overflows, it leaks behind the gutter and can travel into your property.
Greenforce offers commercial and residential gutter cleaning.
Our quality approach to gutter cleaning provides our customers with the assurance of a professional job every time. All of our crews are highly trained to ensure a high level of service and enhance the customers experience.
Most property owners get their gutters cleaned only when they notice a problem with their gutters. By that time, your property may have already suffered water damage. Gutters actually provide protection against the harmful effect that the water has on the foundation of your structure. The best, most thorough way to protect your gutters is to clean your gutters on a consistent schedule. We recommend that Bay Area property owners clean their gutters annually at a minimum but ideally twice during the year: in the spring to clear out the branches, dirt and other winter debris so that they are ready for the summer months and again in the Fall to clean out all the oak tassels, seed pods, ragweed, "helicopters" and other wind-blown debris that land all over our properties (sometimes we find birds nests, wasp nest and baseballs as well!).
All of our work is fully guaranteed and we carry full workers compensation as well as proper liability insurance. We are insured to do high access and ladder work, which most "fly by night" companies and landscapers are not insured to do ( A landscaper is insured to cut your grass—what happens if that same landscaper falls from a ladder and is not insured to clean gutters? The answer is simple: the insurance company will refuse to pay and you become responsible).
Our insurance not only protects us, it also protects you.
When you call our office you can always get a person on the phone. Additionally, depending on the season and weather, we may be able to get to your house the very next day!
With Greenforce, you don't even need to be home! We come out, we do a great job, and mail the receipt to you indicating that the job was completed.It's really that simple!
Our services also includes valley and roof cleaning.
Our teams will normally leave a "Quality Survey Card" as we want to know how you liked the service. We will also normally do a follow- up survey call for new customers. We are always open to your tips and suggestions for improvement. We want your experience to be enjoyable and easy!

1. What cities do you serve?
We serve San Francisco, San Mateo, Oakland and surrounding areas.

The cost varies depending on what needs to be cleaned and the state of the home or office. We typically charge $88-$146 for a 1BR, 1BA home and $117-$176 for a 2BR, 2BA. First time cleanings are generally a little more expensive.
Many flats in San Francisco would fall under our minimum charge of $89 for weekly ongoing service (Our housekeeping supplies are included in the price). Once the initial house cleaning has been completed, we will confirm your regular cleaning price.
3. Cancellations
We request cancellations or rescheduling notice two business days in advance. Cancellations or rescheduling one business day ahead is charged $30. Same day cancellations are charged the full price of the scheduled cleaning.
4. Will you send different people to my place? We will always try to send the same home cleaning team to your place since they would be familiar with you and your needs. If there is a scheduling problem we would only send another house cleaner team with prior notice.
5. What supplies do you use?
The supplies we use are listed in our Product Recommendation list. They are more expensive than their toxic peers, but we use them because the human and environmental health cost is lower. We look for supplies that are non-toxic, bio-degradable and effective.
6. Is Greenforce a franchise?
No, the owners are the managers or cleaners in the business. All owners work in the business. We have a single office in San Francisco.
7. What about gratuities?
Our housekeeping teams are not expecting gratuities but would be happy to receive them if you choose.
8. Do you take credit cards?
Yes, we take most major credit cards including Amex.
9. Do I Have To Be Home When Greenforce Cleans? This is your option. You may give us a key to be safely stored – always with "double-blind" security. Only the local owner and/or office manager can access the client key safe. Teams are given the keys for when an appointment is scheduled, and must turn these back in to management when they're done. These keys are returned to the lock box until the next cleaning appointment.
10. Do You schedule a specific Time for My House Cleaning Appointment?
Greenforce will schedule a specific day and time for your house cleaning within a 10 minute window plus or minus. Take that Comcast.
11. What If I Accidentally Lock Greenforce Out on My Cleaning Day?
Just as with cancellation fees, lock-out will incure a full charge since our home cleaners time is already booked.
Most of our clients either provide us a key or hide one on the premises on cleaning day if they can not be home.
12. Do I Need to Provide House Cleaning Equipment or Supplies?
We provide all cleaning solutions and state-of-the-art equipment, so you never need to worry about replenishing your supply for
our maids. You can see the cleaning products we use HERE.
If you have special house cleaning products you want the team to use, please be sure to discuss this with the Office in advance, so that we can properly instruct the team.
Here at Greenforce Clean Team we are committed to raising the standard for Housekeeping & Residential Cleaning in the Bay Area.

Nimsoft Monitoring Solution Chosen by World's Largest IT Distributor to Support Managed Service Providers Selling to Mid and Large Enterprises
REDWOOD CITY, CA--(Marketwire - August 31, 2009) - Nimsoft, the "Big 4" alternative for IT
performance and availability monitoring solutions, today announced that
Ingram Micro Inc. (NYSE: IM) will be featuring the Nimsoft Monitoring
Solution (NMS) in its Seismic managed services offering, equipping medium
and large VARs and MSPs with the robust monitoring capabilities they need
to grow their businesses.
Seismic is a comprehensive managed service portfolio that includes all the
infrastructure and capabilities that VARs need to deliver proactive remote
monitoring, managed security, business continuity services and the like to
clients. With Seismic, VARs can introduce or expand managed services,
quickly, conveniently, and cost effectively. Seismic provides a unique
business advantage to channel partners, enabling them to earn higher
margins, deliver enhanced value to clients, and build a collaborative and
profitable managed services practice.
"Ingram Micro's Seismic offerings represent a promising opportunity for
companies that are delivering managed services or looking to become managed
service providers," said Dennis Callaghan, enterprise software analyst at
The 451 Group. "With Seismic, the barrier for entry into adding or
enhancing the managed services model is reduced. The addition of Nimsoft to
this program will provide new options for VARs and MSPs as they seek to
scale their businesses."
Under the new alliance, Ingram Micro North America will bring NMS to
market. The new offering, called Seismic Enterprise Monitoring powered by
Nimsoft, is now available to Ingram Micro channel partners in the U.S. and
Canada. With NMS, customers can proactively monitor applications, servers,
databases, and networks. In addition, customers will be able to use
Nimsoft's Service Delivery Portal (SDP) as their key customer visualization
"Nimsoft solutions are rapidly emerging as the de facto standard for
successful MSPs that are looking to speed their growth," explained Gary
Read, president and CEO of Nimsoft. "Many MSP customers have recently
standardized on Nimsoft, which now has over 250 MSPs customers world wide,
and this new alliance will further fuel expansion in this market. We're
excited to be a part of the Seismic offering, and are already seeing
tremendous interest from Ingram Micro's existing VAR and MSP partners who
are actively selling into the mid-market and enterprise."
Highly robust remote monitoring capabilities are a critical requirement,
both for MSPs that have a large collection of smaller customers, and for
MSPs looking to serve the larger, more complex environments of mid-market
organizations and enterprises. These larger organizations typically have
large, heterogeneous environments that are relied on for an array of
business critical services and have adopted such emerging technologies as
virtualization, unified messaging, and cloud computing. Ingram Micro
selected the Nimsoft solution specifically for their strengths in serving
these demanding environments.
"Many of our Seismic partners are looking for a complementary availability
monitoring and alerting solution that would allow them to scale their
services and remotely monitor both physical and virtual network
infrastructures with ease and efficiency," explained Justin Crotty, vice
president, services, Ingram Micro North America. "With the new Seismic
Enterprise Monitoring powered by Nimsoft, our partners are able to extend
their value and services to mid-size and large enterprise clients without
compromising profitability and performance."

Arena Profile: Margie Omero
Margie Omero is president and founder of Momentum Analysis, LLC, a Democratic public opinion research firm based in Washington. Omero's clients include the DNC, the DCCC, EMILY's List, members of Congress, non-profits and labor unions, and campaigns around the country from City Council to U.S. Senate. She is an award-winning pollster, named both a "Mover and Shaker" by Campaigns & Elections magazine and one of "50 Politicos To Watch" by POLITICO. Her 2010 bipartisan work on Walmart moms helped define and describe that swing voting bloc.
Omero's work as a pollster.com/Huffington Post blogger has appeared on Hardball, in ABC's The Note, the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post and in Salon.com. She is the author of a chapter on women and voting in the three-volume series "Voting in America" and a chapter on the gender gap in statewide races in the academic text "Voting the Gender Gap," both published in 2008. As a Women's Media Center/SheSource expert, Omero frequently comments on political trends, and appears regularly on television, radio and in print.
One of only a handful of sole principal female political pollsters in the country, Omero is the 2006 recipient of Women's Information Network's "Young Women Of Achievement" award. In 2003, after only her first cycle running Momentum Analysis, the American Association of Political Consultants named Omero "Rookie of the Year," an award meant to cut across party lines and consulting disciplines. And in 2000, Campaigns and Elections magazine recognized Omero as a "Rising Star." Omero has also served on the board or advisory committees of several organizations devoted to mentoring young women in politics.
Prior to launching Momentum Analysis, Omero was a vice president at The Mellman Group, a research firm also in Washington. While there, Omero worked on the firm's research for non-profits such as World Wildlife Fund, Trust For Public Lands, the Pew Charitable Trusts, and the League of Women Voters. Omero also coordinated the firm's work on Fortune Magazine's Power 25, which was an annual list of the most powerful organizations in Washington. Omero also handled the firm's research for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, and for numerous other Democratic candidates, such as Sen. Maria Cantwell (Wash.), Sen. Tim Johnson (S.D.), former Sen. Tom Daschle (S.D.), former Rep. Dick Gephardt (Mo.), and Rep. Shelley Berkley (Nev.).
Omero is a professionally trained focus group moderator who has personally conducted nearly a thousand focus groups and qualitative interviews, while also being professionally and academically trained in statistical sampling and survey methodology. She is a member of the American Association of Political Consultants, where she has been a frequent judge for the group's annual awards for campaign advertising. Omero has a bachelor's degree and graduated from the University of Texas at Austin, with high honors and special honors in the university's prestigious honors program, studied psychology and research methodology, and wrote her honors thesis using longitudinal survey data. She lives in Washington.
Margie Omero's Recent Discussions
Are Americans 'victims'?
His comments are disgusting.
To think he really believes people who struggle to afford food, housing, and health care don't "care about their lives;" it shows such a lack of compassion for his fellow American, it's a wonder why he even wants to be president. Forget about Todd Akin, after these comments Republicans will wonder if they can kick Romney off the ticket.
Did Bill Clinton hit a home run?
It was a heckuva speech!
A credible debunker, an energizing speaker, and a master of policy. It sure makes a difference when you can be proud of past Democratic policies, as opposed to the brief mention of the Bush administration during the Republican convention. And so much more discussion of policy during Clinton's speech, and the Democratic convention in general, than we heard in Tampa. Another clear point of contrast. Clinton provided what a lot of swing voters are looking for.
Did Biden slip with 'back in chains' comment?
Give me a break! The Romney campaign has accused Obama of not understanding Anglo-Saxon heritage, of needing to learn to be an American, of getting rid of the work requirement in welfare, of waging a war on religion...and all that's just been in the last few weeks!
I thought Ryan and Romney were going to talk about the issues - like cuts to food for hungry kids, cuts to Pell grants, kicking 200,000 kids off of Head Start, adopting anti-abortion laws that Mississippi voters rejected, and of course ending Medicare as we know it. Ah, I see why they'd prefer the fake outrage strategy instead.See more
Should members of the U.S. press corps 'shove it'?
Cursing is one thing, but getting angry in a professional context is not so smart.
There's also something pretty ridiculous about saying "kiss my ass; this is a holy site." But I'd be frustrated too if I was part of Romney's train wreck of a foreign trip!See more
Condi Rice for VP?
The Romney campaign is so overwhelmed getting its story straight, Drudge, Limbaugh and Palin had to take over. But this is a deliberate fake-out to try to stop the bleeding. And nothing says "Romney will return to failed Bush policies" like naming someone from Bush's inner circle as the VP.See more

Charlene Manseau of Amesbury
BOSTON (CBS) – A 63-year-old woman from Amesbury has died of EEE.
Charlene Manseau is the second person in Massachusetts this year to die after getting a bite from an infected mosquito.

Her family says the cancer treatment and her weakened immune system may have been factors in her death.

For the bechamel sauce: Melt the butter in a saucepan. Whisk in the flour and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Slowly whisk in the milk. Simmer for 20 minutes, stirring frequently to avoid burning. Season with salt and white pepper, then strain through a chinois and hold for later use.
For the seafood alfredo pasta: Bring a large pot of water to a boil to reheat the cooked pasta. In a saute pan or small saucepan, heat the bechamel sauce to a simmer. Add the Parmesan and stir to melt the cheese. Add the crabmeat and toss to warm.
Sprinkle the shrimp with salt and pepper. Heat a large saute pan over high heat. Add the grapeseed oil and then the shrimp to the pan. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, then flip the shrimp and finish cooking, another 1 to 2 minutes. Remove the shrimp, leaving the oil in the pan. Hold the shrimp for plating.
Add the sliced garlic to the shrimp pan and saute until it just begins to brown around the edges. While the garlic is cooking reheat the pasta in the boiling water, about 1 minute. Strain the pasta, add it to the pan with the garlic and toss.
Add the bechamel and crab to the pasta and toss. Add the lemon juice, Chicken stock and cream and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add the egg yolks and toss to incorporate. Cook for 1 minute to help thicken the sauce. Add the shrimp and toss.
Divide the pasta and shrimp evenly between serving plates and garnish with chopped chives.

Fantastic maid for your new home (Mumbai)
Hello fellow expats!
I am writing to recommend our fabulous maid, Angeli. At first, I wasn't keen about having a made come at home; I was concerned that I'd have to spend a lot of time giving her instructions, redoing the work and so on. My flatmate convinced me and we found Angeli. I was awestruck by the quality of her work. Angeli comes in twice a week for about two hours and cleans our large 2bhk in Bandra, leaving it impeccably clean. She sees the work to be done herself and does it without me needing to ask for it. She is also very mindful of our privacy, on top of being trustworthy and reliable. She has never missed a single shift (I am serious here!)
I would vouch for her any time of the day, and since she'd like additional clients I decided to recommend her here.
More about Angeli:
-She is looking for work in Bandra or Khar areas since that's where she lives with her husband and son.
-Angeli is perfectly fluent in English (for real!) and enjoys working at expats' homes.
-She's available two to three mornings a week, depending on your requirements.
-Angeli can do all the cleaning a house needs, wash the dishes and do laundry. Again, I could not be happier with the work she does for us.
-She is also able to cook, although I can't comment on her cooking skills since we have decided to cook for ourselves.
-We pay Protected content . per month, which is more than average but totally worth paying to have the peace of mind we have, knowing that she's honest, competent and reliable.
Angeli can be reached at Protected content .
Hope she'll make your new home as comfortable as she has made ours!

Some Hollywood studios, including Sony Pictures, have reached an agreement with YouTube which will allow their full-length movies and television shows to be broadcast on the video website. YouTube's parent company, Google, is looking to bring more professional content to its site in an attempt to fight off competition from rival sites like Hulu.
Some other Hollywood studies include Metro Goldwyn Mayer, CBS, Lionsgate, Starz and the BBC. The new content will appear in a separate area "for professionally made content". YouTube will be introducing the Subscriptions ability for this portion of the site world-wide in the coming weeks, and new additions are continuously expected. A "Most Recent" section appears on the main landing pages (links below).
YouTube already had some agreements in place with MGM, CBS and Lionsgate. For example, such full-length shows as episodes of the original Star Trek series can be seen (complete with 30-second commercial interruptions) using a larger display engine which consumes the top portion of the display.
This news follows another recent decision between YouTube and Universal Music Group, whereby a new website called Vevo was launched (www.vevo.com) to carry music and music video content, with the ability to purchase the content directly from the site. The Vevo announcement has confused a great many people, though most view it as a recognition that something separate was created to break people away from the mindset of "YouTube here" and "Vevo there".
Google's CEO, Eric Schmidt, during a conference call with analysts on Thursday absolutely declined to comment on reports that YouTube was close to a deal with top Hollywood studios. However, the early reports have proven true and it is now a matter of record.
{ad}The new website can be found at YouTube.com/shows and YouTube.com/movies. The movies section offers such titles as Carrie, St. Elmo's Fire, Starman, Cliffhanger, SLACKER, American Virgin, The Best of the Three Stooges, etc. The TV shows section offers such network shows as Flash Gordon, Beverly Hills 90210, MacGyver, Star Trek: The Original Series, The Dana Carvey Show, Mythbusters, Fear Factor, Alf, Seconds From Disaster, Married With Children, etc.
See The Wall Street Journal (subscription required), and the YouTube press release.

The current global economy places the world's small farmers and agricultural workers at a significant disadvantage within the value chain for their products. Poverty, geographical isolation and lack of access to market information leave many farmers with returns that fail to cover their costs of production, a pattern with dire human and environmental consequences. The Fair Trade Certified model enables farmers and workers to overcome these challenges by ensuring they receive a fair price for their goods, covering both the production costs and a sustainable livelihood. This price additionally covers funds needed for vital community development initiatives such as building schools, opening health clinics and reforestation projects. These unique benefits enable farmers and workers across Africa, Asia and Latin America to achieve sustainable community development.
Innovation and Activities
Fair Trade USA is the leading third-party certifier of its products in the US. The organization actively builds US consumer awareness and demand for its products, ensuring that Fair Trade is a profitable growth market for businesses. This win-win proposition for farmers, workers, consumers and businesses distinguishes its model from traditional aid-based responses to poverty in the developing world and provides a unique model for sustainability.
Fair Trade USA works with over 700 US companies, including Starbucks Coffee, Dunkin' Donuts, Green Mountain Coffee and Ben & Jerry's, and recently expanded its product line in response to growing consumer demand. Products that it currently certifies include coffee, tea, chocolate, sugar, fresh fruit, rice, flowers and garments.
In 2011, Fair Trade USA launched "Fair Trade for All," an innovation strategy designed to expand its successful model to scale. The three pillars of the strategy are designed to double its impact by 2015: strengthen farming communities through investment and technical assistance; expand the scope of Fair Trade to include previously excluded communities and products; and stimulate consumer involvement to drive awareness and sales of Fair Trade Certified products.
The Entrepreneur
Paul Rice worked for 11 years as a rural development specialist in the mountainous Segovia's region of Nicaragua. There he founded and led a successful Fair Trade organic coffee export cooperative called PRODECOOP, introducing him to the transformational power of Fair Trade. When the opportunity arose in 1998 to launch Fair Trade USA, he found this to be a natural evolution of his years in the field. Rice has received numerous awards, including the Ashoka Fellowship, Fast Company magazine's Social Capitalist Award and the Skoll Award for Social Entrepreneurship. He has also been recognized by the AVINA Foundation for his "leadership for change", and honored by the Clinton Global Initiative for his efforts in Fair Trade for All.

Temperance Meeting. - All persons desiring legislation for the prohibition of the liquor traffic in West Virginia, will please meet in the 4th Street Methodist Church, on this (Tuesday) night at 7 o'clock, where addresses will be delivered on the subject.
December 3, 1863
Temperance. - It has been a long time since our readers have heard of a temperance meeting. The subject of temperance was abandoned by its advocates some years ago, after having labored earnestly and faithfully, though vainly, to effect the needed reforms. Particularly since the rebellion has the question remained undisturbed. The discussion of the matter of a prohibitory liquor law until the public sentiment of the State shall have been prepared for it. Rev. Mr. Barnes, Senator Young, Dr. T. H. Logan, Delegate Wheat, and others, spoke upon the subject, in favor and against the passage of a prohibitory liquor law at this time. The meeting was unquestionably in favor of some kind of a liquor law, the only difference of opinion being in regard to the time the law should go into effect. It was finally resolved to continue the agitation of the subject, with a view of preparing public sentiment for such a law as the one now before the Legislature.

The Army and the Temperance Reform Movement.
Editors Intelligencer:
The petition forwarded from company E, 3d Virginia cavalry, by Sergeant J, H. Griffin, son of Benoni Griffin in the House of Delegates, came to hand by due course of mail. All honor to the company for their united petition sent up in favor of temperance.
The army of soldiers now in the field defending our county, are shaming the professed Christian churches. We are receiving more petitions from the army than the church, asking us to pass a law suppressing the manufacture and sale of spirituous liquors in West Virginia. Why is this? Is it because so many professed christens at home love to indulge in a "wee bit of the precious stuff." I wonder how many professed Christians in West Virginia, are dram drinkers? How many are engaged directly and indirectly in the manufacture and sale of spirituous liquors in the new state? Such hypocrites are the devil's hitching post and recruiting officers.
We would publish the petitions and names of petitioners asking the passage of Senate bill No. 9, according to request, but that they would take up too much room. However, I will see some of the Editors and learn if they will grant a space in the columns of their papers for the anti-whiskey petitions. Send on the petitions from every source and reinforce us. We attempted on yesterday to attack King Alcohol, with Senate bill No. 9, but were repulsed.
