On-demand has come to mean a variety of capabilities in today’s market. At Accelerize 360, OnDemand means shopping for and buying the services you want online, when you want them, and getting fast delivery, often the same day.

Accelerize 360 Announces Flying Start Implementation for Pardot

June 5, 2014 flashnewsrelease Leave a comment

Best in Class Methodologies and Services Speed Time to Value.

Atlanta, GA (USA), June 05, 2014 — Accelerize 360, a leading provider of implementation, support and professional services for cloud-based solutions, announced today the availability of its Flying Start for Pardot program. With Flying Start, new Pardot customers can secure immediate implementation services that are based on best in class methodologies and delivered by experienced professionals to minimize risk and maximize value.

In today’s highly competitive markets, buyers increasingly rely on a broad spectrum of sources to evaluate and short-list potential suppliers of goods and services. As a result of these complex selling environments, Marketing Automation solutions have emerged as a key competitive weapon in managing the buyer’s journey. Social media initiatives, multi-channel marketing campaigns, sophisticated lead scoring strategies and continuous nurturing programs all demand a tightly integrated suite of marketing, sales and services solutions.

With its acquisition of Pardot, salesforce.com has quickly attained a leading role in this critical solution space. As a result, sales of Pardot’s Marketing Automation solution continue to accelerate, while qualified implementation resources become more and more over-loaded, forcing new customers to delay their implementation plans while they wait for services partners to become available.

Leveraging its deep salesforce.com services experience, Accelerize 360 has moved to close this gap for Pardot customers with its Flying Start implementation program. With over 250 consultants, and a series of successful Pardot projects, Accelerize 360 can make the right resources available in the right place at the right time to ensure on-time Pardot project success.

“Having developed and proven our Flying Start methodology implementing Salesforce’s Sales Cloud and Service Cloud, we have been able to quickly deploy a similar solution for Pardot,” said Vijay Proddhutur, Co-CEO of Accelerize 360. “With Flying Start for Pardot, Accelerize 360 consultants can engage with customers as part of the selection process, moving immediately to implementation and deployment with no delay, ensuring rapid returns on their Pardot investment.”

Flying Start for Pardot is a flexible, comprehensive, best practice offering that addresses key implementation elements across project management, installation, system integration, marketing integration, technology, use case documentation and training. Coupled with Accelerize 360’s Value Wave and OnDemand support offerings, it forms the foundation for a complete optimized Marketing Automation management lifecycle. It is available immediately from Accelerize 360.

Veritas Prep Celebrates Ten-Year Anniversary

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.”
