Hundreds of Community Banking Executives Meet in Austin to Strategize Against Megabanks

Leave a comment

Today, hundreds of community bank and credit union executives from across the country gathered for the first Kasasa Family Reunion to strategize around how to take back market share from the megabanks.

Austin, TX, July 25, 2012 – Today, hundreds of community bank and credit union executives from across the country gathered for the first Kasasa Family Reunion to strategize around how to take back market share from the megabanks.

The event, held at BancVue’s corporate headquarters in Austin, centered around Kasasa®, the powerful national brand of banking products offered exclusively by community banks and credit unions. The main objective of the ‘Reunion’ was to rally community financial institutions and celebrate the growing momentum behind the Kasasa movement.

Along with hundreds of executives representing community banks and credit unions that offer Kasasa, a contingent of non-Kasasa financial institutions that had been invited by their peers were also in attendance to learn more about the strategy of uniting behind a national brand to take back market share.

“I’ve been working in the banking industry for over 35 years and I never thought I would see the day when community banks and credit unions come together in mass to talk about ways to take it to the megabanks,” says Paul Peterson, CFO at Ocean Communities Federal Credit Union in Biddeford, Maine. “Kasasa has already taken off in our market and based on this year’s Kasasa Family Reunion, it’s clear that it’s also taking off all across the country.”

In addition to strategic planning, the event also celebrated the success of Kasasa. In short order, more than 300,000 Kasasa accounts have been opened, representing some $41 million in non-interest income to partner institutions. In aggregate, Kasasa partners, currently represented in 38 states, rank 17th in branch network size.

Another key part of the ‘Reunion’ involved financial institutions sharing best practices with each other, and BancVue sharing the newest developments that the community banking industry can expect from Kasasa in the near future.

“Looking around the crowd at Kasasa Family Reunion, it’s safe to say, these are the bankers who will survive and thrive over the next five to ten years,” says Gabe Krajicek, CEO of BancVue. “Kasasa has really taken off and we fully expect for that trend to continue into 2013. In short order, we’ve built a powerful network of community banks and credit unions that have united under a national brand of banking accounts. It’s just a matter of time before we catch up to the mega banks and retake market share.”

BancVue has been bringing game-changing innovations to the marketplace since its founding in 2004. With offerings like Kasasa and the latest innovation, Kasasa 360, a superior online money management platform designed to help drive revenues and facilitate more cross-sales activities, BancVue has helped its network of over 5,000 branches nationwide compete and win against the megabanks.

About BancVue
BancVue is the leading provider of innovative products, world-class marketing, and data-driven consulting solutions to community financial institutions across the U.S. Featuring offerings like Kasasa, a dynamic suite of banking solutions that make a difference with innovative accounts and money management tools, BancVue products are designed to deliver controlled new account growth, higher profitability, and increased customer retention.

Oxford Expression Technologies Launch Revolutionary Cloning Vectors

Leave a comment

Oxford Expression Technologies (OET), the award-winning specialist provider of baculovirus-based protein expression solutions, launches a new range of pOET Ligation Independent Cloning (LIC) vectors.

Oxford, UK, July 24, 2012 – Oxford Expression Technologies (OET), the award-winning specialist provider of baculovirus-based protein expression solutions, launches a new range of pOET Ligation Independent Cloning (LIC) vectors. The new LIC vectors facilitate faster and simpler gene transfer into their world renowned flashBAC system for baculovirus protein expression. They are an evolution of the easy to use and highly reliable pOET transfer vectors and provide a host of new advantages over conventional cloning methods.

As the name suggests, ligation independent cloning removes the need to undertake the ligation step in the cloning procedure, this is typically the most troublesome part of any cloning experiment so these new LIC vectors represent obvious benefits to scientists who utilize protein expression techniques.

Passing comment, Richard Broadhead, Sales and Marketing Manager at Oxford Expression Technologies said, “We are pleased to announce the launch of the new pOET ligation independent cloning vectors, they remove a problematic part of the cloning procedure and we are very pleased that we can pass these benefits on to our customers” he continued, “As well as being faster and easier, our latest innovation also allows laboratories to standardize their protocols because there is no need to take into account the length of the insert sequence to be cloned, another benefit conventional cloning methods cannot offer.”

Oxford Expression Technologies invites anyone with an interest in baculovirus protein expression to visit their website – http://oetltd.com/

Oxford Expression Technologies is a biotechnology company specializing in the use of baculovirus vectors, a eukaryotic expression system that can express a large variety of recombinant proteins. Oxford Expression Technologies provides recombinant protein expression products, services and consultancy to many global pharmaceutical companies. The Company’s proprietary flashBAC technology enables large amounts of a given protein to be produced in culture. Its internationally renowned expertise and products enable proteins to be produced faster, more easily and cost-effectively using automated and high-throughput methods compared with other baculovirus expression systems. This contributes to the development of new drugs and research targeted towards understanding how proteins work in health and disease.
The company was founded in 2007 as a result of collaboration between Oxford Brookes University and the Natural Environment Research Council to provide researchers with custom proteins for research purposes.

Veritas Prep Celebrates Ten-Year Anniversary

Leave a comment

July Marks Significant Milestone For the Largest Global Provider of Test Prep and Admissions Consulting Services

Malibu, California, July 23, 2012 – Veritas Prep, the largest global provider of test prep and admissions consulting services, celebrates a significant milestone this month: its ten year anniversary, the company announced today. Co-founders Chad Troutwine and Markus Moberg officially launched Veritas Prep on July 1, 2002. Troutwine and Moberg met at the Yale School of Management while earning their MBAs and started Veritas Prep after winning several business plan competitions, including Yale’s. Over the last decade, the company has grown from a two-person shop to the largest test prep and admissions consulting services provider in the world.

“We created Veritas Prep because prospective MBA applicants were not satisfied with the substandard GMAT courses offered by other providers. Upon its launch, our program offered twice as many classroom hours, three times the number of practice tests and far more rigorous instructor standards, and business surged,” said Troutwine, co-founder and CEO of Veritas Prep. “It was clear from the beginning that our GMAT students also wanted our advice on the business school admissions process. Since then, Veritas Prep has become a leader in that space, too.”

At its launch, Veritas Prep’s flagship classroom GMAT prep course was more comprehensive than others on the market. It was also first of its kind to focus on higher order thinking and be taught exclusively by instructors who scored in the 99th percentile on the GMAT – many of whom are still Veritas Prep instructors to this day. In response to the unmatched success of Veritas Prep students, other companies have adopted similar features.

“It has been ten years since we first challenged the long-standing duopoly of Kaplan and Princeton Review by creating a higher standard of test preparation for the GMAT,” said Moberg, co-founder of Veritas Prep. “The last decade has seen us go from a start-up to a standout with our philosophy to ‘think like the test maker’ and focus on reasoning and higher order thinking. We stay a step ahead of others in the industry by continuously updating and perfecting our curriculum, products and service offerings.”
 
Veritas Prep was the first company to create online “on demand” (self-paced) GMAT courses and GMAT mobile apps and it is the only company to assemble a team of admissions consultants representing all of the top 20 MBA programs. Veritas Prep offers classroom courses in more than 90 cities worldwide, live online courses, GMAT On Demand programs, mobile modules for the iPad and iPhone and a full suite of admissions consulting services.

Reflecting on the success of the last ten years, Veritas Prep recently noted several lessons learned. For example, the qualities that made Veritas Prep unique at its launch have proven to be a formula that leads to the biggest score increases: (1) the highest instructor standards, (2) more classroom hours and (3) a focus on higher order thinking skills rather than the “content-based” learning promoted by its competitors. And as an organization, an unwavering focus on course improvement and innovation – even if it means sacrificing short-term profit – is a winning recipe for long-term health and vitality.

“At Veritas Prep, we’re proud to have created a company that is ‘built to last,’ and we owe much of our success to our ability to attract and motivate people who desire to master their craft,” said Troutwine. “Everyone at Veritas Prep is focused on contributing to the most effective and successful test prep company ever created. We look forward to celebrating many more milestones to come.”

About Veritas Prep:
Veritas Prep is the largest global provider of test prep and admissions consulting services, offering industry-leading programs to help applicants improve their test scores and gain admission to the world’s best colleges and universities and graduate schools. Founded in 2002 by graduates of the Yale School of Management, Veritas Prep offers its flagship, live GMAT prep course in more than 90 cities worldwide and as an interactive online course available to students everywhere.

Luxury Travel in Vietnam on the Rise and Affordable

Leave a comment

Mr. Pham Ha, a travel guru in tourism industry in Vietnam, reveals the current luxury travel trends and his products for 2013.

Hanoi, Vietnam, July 20, 2012 – Vietnam is emerging as a luxe destination in the world tourism map, Mr. Pham Ha, a travel guru in tourism industry in Vietnam, reveals the current luxury travel trends and his products for 2013. Ha is a founder and CEO of Luxury Travel Ltd, Vietnam’s first luxury tour operator and DMC.

The Travel Experts of Virtuoso in the US just completed a trend survey of its member agencies, each of whom specializes in catering to the needs of luxury travelers, which came to the conclusion that Vietnam and Cambodia are the hot destinations in Southeast Asia.

“With new luxury hotels and world class golf courses having recently opened or set to open soon, and the introduction of luxury train journeys, exclusive cruises and upscale private tours spanning the length of the country, Vietnam is fast emerging as an exciting destination for the high-end traveler,” says Luxury Travel Ltd’s Founding CEO, Pham Ha.

Today’s luxury travelers want to be entertained and stimulated, rather than simply pampered, and Vietnam offers a magical mix of tropical beaches, post-colonial charm, a string of world heritage sites, stunning inland scenery, a world-renowned cuisine and a home-grown flair for hospitality.

“Nowadays, luxury travel is about experiences, doesn’t need to be the preserve of the super-rich – indeed, it is a little-known fact that almost anybody can afford to travel in style, elegance and comfort without breaking the bank or even spending much more than travelling ordinarily. The world of luxury travel is actually a very accessible onem,” reveals Pham Ha.

Upscale tours today also offer “off the beaten track” experiences. In a credit crunch environment high end tourists also expect efficiency, seamless travel, value for money and a return on personal values. Many will opt for short trips for their families which offer a slice of local culture, a splash of adventure, and authentic experiences. Upscale tailor-made tours in Vietnam now come replete with yacht cruises, helicopter tours, limousine services, and the whole nine yards.

There is also plenty of flexibility for all tours. Travelers are free to request helicopter tours, cycling excursions to craft villages, scuba diving or snorkeling trips, reservations at the finest restaurants in the land, meetings with renowned artists, chefs and designers, shopping recommendations, spa reservations, tours with special-interest lecturers, and exclusive access to local activities and cultural events.

Each day, tours are designed with flexibility to suit travelers’ personal interest, schedule and energy level. When it comes to luxury tours, the sky’s truly the limit.
