Cloud based CRM software great success at Recruitment Agency Expo 2012

Walton on Thames, Surrey (PRWEB UK) 24 February 2012

The Recruitment Agency Expo 2012 at London Olympia was a buzzing, lively event from the opening at 10am on Valentine’s Day to the close at 5pm on Wednesday 15th February. TVision Technology and Cirrus Nova shared a stand promoting their new integrated front and back end software solution for recruitment agencies built on the Microsoft Dynamics platform.

That it was half term did not seem to affect the numbers at the exhibition. The audience ranged from recruitment consultants looking to brush up their skills and knowledge in the training sessions and seminars; to new business owners looking for advice on their fledgling start up; to directors looking for ideas on how to continue growth and support of successful businesses. And of course, networkers and exhibitors keen to promote their services to the industry.

In recent years it has seemed that the age of industry exhibitions and trade shows was coming to an end and it is true that many that have struggled on are but shadows of their former selves; smaller venues, simple stands, cheap and cheerful merchandising and decreasing footfall. It has not been uncommon for exhibitors to out-number visitors, leading to a feeding frenzy of excitement whenever the unfortunate potential prospect braves walking past the stands. Rec Expo was either very different or marks a change in attitude back to popularity of such events.

Rec Expo achieved a great balance of informative sessions with the trade stands and so perhaps that is the secret of success. Social media is an area that is strategically vital to many recruitment agencies and the LinkedIn photo stand in particular proved very popular. Most visitors were mixing physical networking with on-line; pulling out smart phones and connecting with new contacts almost as soon as the real handshake had finished. Rec Expo proved that as interested as we are in leveraging the virtual world to extend our networks, physical interaction is still as important to the human experience.

“We promote technology as an enabler to give people mobility and flexibility,” commented Jeremy Norton of Cirrus Nova. “Severing the chains to a desk means more human interaction at events like these and it was good to see so many visitors fired up with new ideas.”

Exhibitors were kept busy throughout the two days with visitors keen to understand how the services on offer would assist their agency’s growth plans. TVision stood alongside their partner, Cirrus Nova, on stand 106. The prominent banner “100% Cloud Software” proved a major draw. Recruitment agencies are probably keener than any other industry to investigate Cloud-based CRM solutions. This is largely because recruitment agency start-ups need sophisticated candidate management systems from day one but as start-ups don’t have big IT budgets or teams to manage an implementation; therefore, the rental model of hosted software (cloud or SAAS, depending on your jargon preference) fits budget and operational needs.

“Economists are adamant that recovery will come from the small business grass roots so it’s great to see so many new and fledgling businesses, particularly in the labour market,” explained Nicki Stewart, TVision Technology. “The success of Rec Expo suggests a refreshing optimism.”

TVision Technology is a Microsoft Gold Partner based in Walton on Thames and focusses exclusively on developing, implementing and supporting Dynamics NAV for customers within the UK. TVision has developed two vertical solutions, Agency Time for the recruitment industry and the Wine Systems for the drinks distribution industry.

Laser App Software Launches Laser App Enterprise 10 to Further Enable Straight Through Processing

Ontario, CA (PRWEB) February 08, 2012

Laser App Software, the leading provider of automated financial forms-filling and management software for the securities and insurance industries, today announced the launch of the latest version of its flagship product, Laser App Enterprise 10. Laser App Enterprise 10 provides enhanced functionality including: added data types, more granular smart-form functionality and enhanced e-signature capabilities to further streamline data entry, reduce not-in-good order (NIGO), and enable straight through processing of forms.

In addition to a fresher look and more robust scalability, Laser App Enterprise 10 supports e-signing innovation through significant feature and integration upgrades. Enhanced DocuSign and Signix integrations, a new integration with EchoSign and support for 4×3 signature pads make e-signing of forms even easier for advisors.

Laser App’s smart forms have also been upgraded to utilize Jscripting which means forms are now even smarter. Broker-dealers and product companies can specify how granular to make the field level logic, giving them greater control when managing their NIGO rate. Advisors and agents can effortlessly complete forms correctly. Laser App is also easier to use. Forms download faster, and software and forms update automatically.

Laser App Enterprise 10 also provides an enhanced ability to transmit data directly from open forms. This ability to send both form images and XML data allows broker-dealer back offices and fund companies to reap the benefits of accurate data and eliminates the error-prone rekeying process. This functionality is designed to integrate seamlessly with industry leading document management solutions and account opening providers.

Additionally, the new version provides improved support for Custom PDFs allowing users to tie their own proprietary forms into Laser App, map those fillable fields, and prepopulate them directly from CRM. This functionality benefits RIAs that are more likely to have custom PDFs, and it is valuable for custodian account opening forms. Laser App Enterprise 10 also includes a new data type called “companies” which allows for more comprehensive auto-population of transfer forms with fund company information.

Robert Powell, vice president of sales & marketing at Laser App, added, “The industry has been working to achieve straight through processing for nearly a decade, and the pieces all exist to enable it. Laser App Enterprise 10 and our software integrations are designed to serve as a foundation for straight through processing. We are working with an extensive user base of insurance carriers and fund companies, advisors and software partners to create smarter forms that are easier to sign electronically and keep dynamic through the life of the process. Furthermore, we strive to empower firms to better manage the cost of not-in-good order and their forms filling process.”

Jeffrey Green, director of compliance for financial solutions at Laserfiche said, “Our integration with Laser App Enterprise 10 helps advisors solve two unique problems. Laser App addresses the difficult issue of keeping forms up-to-date across a universe of paperwork and with CRM integrations it is able to populate forms to complete them in good order. The forms can then be submitted to a trusted enterprise content management solution, Laserfiche, where additional suitability checks and balances occur.”

Laser App Enterprise 10 launches alongside a scaled down version of the Enterprise product aimed specifically at carriers, Laser App Lite, as well as a web-enabled “smart client” solution, Laser App Connect.

The Laser App library currently houses over 26,000 forms, and this library continues to grow as insurance and securities companies alike realize the tremendous benefits available to streamline heavy paperwork processes while reducing not-in-good-order and promoting straight through processing.

About Laser App Software

Laser App Software creates products that combine state-of-the-art form-filling technology with our massive library of industry-related forms. Forms are maintained by us so insurance agents, registered reps and advisors can focus on their clients, rather than filling out paperwork. Founded in 1995 by advisor and insurance agent Ed Beggs, Laser App pioneered forms filling in the independent broker-dealer community and services over 100,000 users. In the same way Laser App allows reps to use their existing data to prefill forms, broker-dealers can also leverage the same data to prefill their back office and compliance systems.
