iMapp and DiscoverMLS Announce Strategic Technology Partnership

Tampa, FL (PRWEB) April 20, 2012

iMapp® and DiscoverMLS today announced a new initiative that creates a low-cost yet robust, fully-featured and integrated MLS/Tax Mapping System available to REALTORS® everywhere: Discover/iMapp.

“From the moment we first saw the DiscoverMLS system, we knew that together we could revolutionize this industry.” said Bill Rovillo, CEO of iMapp. “Our companies share a vision of delivering an exceptional user experience at an unprecedented price.”

Feature-Rich Toolset

Discover/iMapp provides agents with an alternative front-end to the MLS and tax data and offers features including a secure CRM system, social connectors to Facebook and Twitter, seamless integration with Cloud CMA and a real-time client portal for instant communication between agents and their clients.

Discover/iMapp can also be licensed as the primary Multiple Listing Service software with the inclusion of the powerful Listing Add/Edit module.

HTML5 Interface Optimized for Current and Future Mobile Devices

“The Discover/iMapp product will appeal to forward-thinking MLSs that want to empower their agents with leading-edge technology.” said Bret Wiener, CEO of DiscoverMLS. “Agents need to access MLS and tax data from their iPads and Android devices and be freed from obsolete anchors like Internet Explorer 6.0 and ActiveX.”

Discover/iMapp detects your device and streams the best available user interface. iOS and other mobile devices receive an optimized HTML5 interface while PC and Mac users may choose a more immersive, Flash front-end and use any browser including Chrome, Safari, Firefox or even Internet Explorer 9.

Shattering the Antiquated MLS Model

MLS software has historically been the most expensive, non-labor budgeted item for an Association or Multiple Listing Service. Listing data is crowd-sourced by REALTORS® and brokers so MLS vendors have enjoyed a high margin. Discover/iMapp will break through that virtual monopoly and provide a fresh, powerful and affordable alternative and pass the savings on to associations and MLSs.

About iMapp, Inc.:

Founded in 1997, iMapp is committed to the development and maintenance of highly accurate web-based geographic real estate information systems that integrate a variety of property information including parcel lines, tax-roll data, demographics, aerial imagery, mortgage and deed recordings and foreclosure information with a specific focus on the real estate industry.

About DiscoverMLS, Inc.:

Discover MLS Software was launched in 2010 by a group of partners with more than 40 years of combined real-estate industry experience. Determined to set new standards for the MLS software marketplace, the goal was simple: raise the bar.

iMapp® is a registered trademark of iMapp, Inc. in the United States and/or other countries.

Grudi Associates Utilizes New 4G LTE Wireless Technology to Provide Small and Mid-Size Businesses with Highly Reliable, Affordable Internet Backup Service

Walt Grudi, President, Grudi Associates

Palmyra, PA (PRWEB) April 01, 2012

Grudi Associates utilizes 4G/LTE to make wireless an affordable, high-quality option for achieving true route diversity in an Internet backup system. Many companies provision a backup/redundant Internet connection, but few actually achieve true route diversity. Simply using a different carrier that follows the same pathway from the central office is not good enough. For complete backup protection, a connection from a different carrier using a different route, especially over the last mile connection is necessary. Grudi Associates’ wireless backup solutions make it viable for small and medium size businesses.

“Almost all telco carriers and cable providers share the same route to deliver their services through the local loop – between the business and the carrier’s central office,” says Walt Grudi, President of Grudi Associates, a leading provider of telecom and IT services in Central PA and beyond. “If there is an equipment failure or damage to that local route, the Internet connection will fail. Such failures account for more than 90% of all outages. For maximum backup protection route diversity is needed. A 4G LTE wireless connection can cost-effectively provide it.”

Vital Internet connections through landlines are vulnerable to disruptions from a variety of factors related to:

Physical damage to local loop cables caused by weather, traffic accidents, construction, vandalism and other events.
Equipment failure of the local loop switches, circuitry and components.
Network failures caused by equipment and system problems occurring outside the local loop.

To guard against these service interruptions using landlines, companies need two different carriers using separate routes for their lines, which then enter the business through widely separated access points, usually on opposite ends of the building. This is typically a very expensive solution that is affordable only for larger companies and organizations.

4G/LTE has crossed an important threshold by increasing the speed of data transfer enough to make it practical for businesses. It is now possible to wirelessly connect virtually any application or system across the Internet and achieve good or excellent results. This creates an important and invaluable opportunity for companies to implement a high-quality, affordable backup system with true route diversity.

A 4G/LTE backup system offers significant advantages for many businesses:

Speed – 4G/LTE now has download speeds of 10-20 mbps and 5 mbps uploads; that is 10-20 times faster than 3G and more than adequate for most needs.
Wireless – not dependent of poles, wires or landline hardware associated with the vulnerable local loop.
Lower Latency – 4G/LTE has a latency of less than 50 ms, which is required for real-time video streaming and voice.
Data and Voice – good for Internet and VoIP backup redundancy.
Coverage – 4G/LTE has improved in-building penetration.
Footprint – national coverage is good and growing.
Installation – completed in a few days, compared with 60-120 days for landline dual-entrance facilities.
Simplicity – simple to set up and requires very little hardware.

4G/LTE wireless Internet backup is well-suited for small and mid-size companies that rely on their Internet connections to do business. It is excellent for the vast majority of their regular activities and applications. It may not be the best solution for extremely large data usage because wireless carriers charge on a measured usage basis. Extensive streaming of video, music and multimedia may exceed the current plan, and that can quickly become cost prohibitive for everyday use.
