Attendance on Demand

Farmington Hills, MI (PRWEB) March 16, 2012

Attendance on Demand cloud-based employee time and attendance service today announced it has received a Best of SaaS Showplace (BoSS) Award in recognition of the quantifiable business results that its software-as-a-service (SaaS) solution has brought to its user customers across many industries.

Users of Attendance on Demand have cited measurable business results in many forms. Quantifiable results include reduced system and processing costs as well as a reduction in the resources and time required to enter time and attendance information, produce reports and process payroll. Also, because the solution tracks overtime, FMLA and PTO usage accurately and in real-time, management is empowered to make more strategic decisions about the allocation of staff hours.

For example, Bordine’s saved 40 percent in overtime costs by more accurately tracking staff time in real-time. Chase Hospitality reduced the staff time required to enter payroll information to process payments and produce reports by 40 percent. And, Overhead Door Company reduced system and processing costs 50 percent.

It is more important than ever that time and attendance solutions provide their users with bottom-line improvements, said Attendance on Demand President Chris Ciapala. We are very pleased that Attendance on Demand is being honored through an awards program designed specifically to promote the quantifiable business benefits being delivered using progressive SaaS solutions.

In announcing the award yesterday, Jeffrey M. Kaplan, the founder of the SaaS Showplace, now a part of the new Cloud Computing Showplace, and Managing Director of THINKstrategies, noted, “In todays tough economic climate, it is critical for organizations of all sizes to closely monitor day-to-day operating expenses in a cost-efficient fashion. Attendance on Demand enables organizations to more easily attain this objective.”

We are honored to be recognized by SearchDataCenter.com as a systems management Product of the Year based on the technology innovation and affordability of Zenoss Enterprise, said Bill Karpovich, Zenoss co-founder and CEO. Our repeated acknowledgement by organizations like SearchDataCenter and significant customer deployments in large brand name enterprises clearly indicates that IT leaders are increasingly turning to Zenoss for a better unified monitoring solution for physical, virtual and cloud environments.

According to SearchDataCenter.com’s 2009 data center purchasing intentions survey, only 9% of U.S. data center managers plan to increase spending on systems management tools, said SearchDataCenter.coms executive editor Matt Stansberry.

eMazzanti Named as WatchGuard NE Partner of the Year

Hoboken, NJ and New York City, NY (PRWEB) August 07, 2012

eMazzanti Technologies, IT support and computer consultant in the Hoboken, NJ and New York City areas, is named the Northeast Partner of the Year by WatchGuard Technologies, a network security industry leader.

The purpose of the partner recognition program is to showcase outstanding performance, noted Jim Mulholland, Northeast Regional Sales Manager, WatchGuard Technologies. When our partners demonstrate excellence, we know our customers are in good hands.

The WatchGuard Northeast Partner of the Year award is based on three key criteria: customer service, certification and sales.

Anticipation: eMazzantis New Standard in Customer Service

eMazzanti has established a higher level of customer service for WatchGuard customers by solving many problems before the customer is even aware.

eMazzanti leveraged new technology to create a Productivity Monitoring system to precisely track productivity and address many potential IT problems even before they occur. The unique technology continuously monitors 16 key indicators 24×7 and is generated from the companys job ticketing system.

For example, under the customer service area, eMazzanti has real-time monitoring of: customer satisfaction rating trends, open tickets by status, open tickets by tech, open tickets by service type, net change Open/Close ration, tickets resolved by tech, and ticket trends.

For each area monitored, eMazzanti has the results continuously displayed as multiple charts and graphs on three 60 monitors strategically located around the office. In fact, one monitor is placed near the main door so employees can see exactly how the firm is doing with its customers first thing in the morning when they arrive for work and the last thing they as they leave. All employees are also reminded of their personal and team contribution on a daily basis.

In addition, one or more techs are on call all night long to make sure customer networks are up and running, resolving issues before the customer is even aware.

RMA Automation: Building Customer Satisfaction and Loyalty

One of the significant benefits of eMazzanti being one of WatchGuards premier partners is the streamlined Return Materials Authorization (RMA) process. When a piece of WatchGuard gear goes down, customers no longer have to worry about justifying an RMA authorization, scheduling shipments, shipping the item or receiving it back again. All of this is handled directly by eMazzanti. “We inventory a variety of WatchGuard firewalls which we use to immediately replace warranted equipment,” said Mazzanti. “WatchGuard then has automated the RMA process for us so we get rapid replacements, no questions asked all while the customers network is already up that same day. From there we ship the replacement unit from WatchGuard to our office for use in any future outages.”

Certification: Proof of Expertise

Another key ingredient to becoming a regional partner of the year is making sure all engineers and service personnel are property WatchGuard trained and certified. Each of the eMazzanti service team is fully certified to diagnose and repair the depth and breadth of WatchGuards full line of network security solutions. This assures eMazzanti customers the highest level of support.

Three Time Partner of the Year

eMazzanti Technologies has been the WatchGuard Northeast Partner of the Year on three separate occasions.

Its exciting to have partners like eMazzanti aboard, said Mulholland. They have the kind of passion and professionalism that we want our customers to experience. Were very pleased with their dedication and results.

Since 1996, WatchGuard
