Author Intronis Takes Home Three Awards for Marketing Excellence
CHELMSFORD, MA (PRWEB) May 21, 2015
Intronis, Inc., a provider of world-class backup and data protection solutions for the IT channel, today announced that it is the recipient of a Silver Award of Distinction from the 21st Annual Communicator Awards for the Intronis Atari Campaign and two gold Hermes Creative Awards for the design of the Intronis logo and an original piece of music, “Intronis Is Always There.”
The Intronis Atari campaign is an ongoing, integrated direct mail campaign carried out entirely in-house by the Intronis marketing department. As part of the campaign, Atari gaming consoles were sent directly to members of Intronis’ target audience, urging them to rethink outdated data backup and storage solutions and schedule a call with Intronis. After just 12 months of conducting the campaign, Intronis shipped over 800 Atari consoles, contributed over 10 percent of new bookings, and achieved an overall return on investment (ROI) of more than 650 percent.
The Intronis logo was also created completely in-house, and the piece of original music was written, performed, and produced by two Intronis employees as a Valentine’s Day campaign to remind businesses of the importance of protecting critical corporate data through backup and disaster recovery.
“It’s a huge honor for our team to receive such well-respected awards,” said Aaron Dun, CMO at Intronis. “The team has worked tremendously hard and put an enormous amount of energy, dedication, and creativity into these campaigns and assets. It’s fantastic to have our team and our ideas recognized among other truly impressive projects from around the globe.”

Tiny’s Grill of Utica, NY Takes Advantage of $ 3,955 in Utility Rebates with the National Grid Small Business Services Program
Utica, NY (PRWEB) August 15, 2014
Tiny’s Grill is saving $ 159 a month on its utility bill, while reducing its energy usage and environmental impact. By implementing energy-efficient interior and exterior lighting upgrades throughout the bar, dining room, kitchen, storage and outdoor areas of its Utica, NY location, Tiny’s Grill has reduced energy consumption by 17,194 kWh, which is equivalent to removing an estimated 18,913 pounds of carbon dioxide from the environment per year, according to U.S. Environmental Protection Agency calculations. The lighting upgrades were completed by SmartWatt Energy via the National Grid Small Business Services Program.
When the owner of Tiny’s Grill, Joanne Gerace, contacted National Grid to inquire about their Small Business Services Program, SmartWatt came in to perform a complimentary energy audit of all interior and exterior lighting. SmartWatt then proposed a plan to replace the existing lighting systems with energy-efficient fluorescent and LED lighting fixtures throughout the restaurant. These lighting upgrades have not only substantially reduced the restaurant’s energy costs, but have also resulted in a rebate of $ 3,955, which according to National Grid, are expected to pay for themselves in only 16 months.
SmartWatt is the administrator and implementation contractor for National Grid’s Small Business Services Program in Central, Northern, and the Mohawk Valley regions of upstate New York. The National Grid Small Business Services Program helps businesses with an average peak demand of 100 kW or less per month to conduct energy-efficient upgrade measures. Through this program, SmartWatt will provide a complimentary energy audit and National Grid will pay up to 70 percent of the installation costs completed by SmartWatt and finance the remaining amount interest-free for up to two years.
For more information on the National Grid Small Business Services Program or to schedule a free complimentary energy audit, call 1-800-332-3333 or visit http://www.nationalgridus.com/smallbusiness.

Workable Solutions Takes Insurance Exchanges to the Next Level
Orlando, FL (PRWEB) July 25, 2012
Most of the general population is just becoming familiar with health insurance exchanges (HIX) because of the passing of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) that requires each state to administer one, but insurance exchanges have a much longer history. Workable Solutions has been a part of that history since 1997 and continues to influence the evolution of private health insurance exchanges.
Workable Solutions’ latest endeavor, scheduled to be released late this summer, is sure to be a turning point for health insurance exchanges going forward. Their latest web-based platform is designed to combine the best features of online shopping with the latest employee benefits solutions. The new exchange solution is called Workable Choice.
Different than the exchanges of yesteryear, recommendation engines use profiling questions and filtering to recommend plans that are custom-tailored for each individual based on health status, family composition, financial situation and risk tolerance.
Terry McCorvie, now president of Workable Solutions, was the executive director of the Community Health Purchasing Alliance (CHPA). CHPA was one of the first quasi-governmental exchanges in the mid-1990s. “Back then we were dealing with mountains of paper and that prevented the Exchanges from being efficient.” McCorvie says. “With today’s technology tools, consumers can narrow available plans to find the best match and complete their enrollment in less than 15 minutes.”
Workable Choice will seem lightyears ahead of those first insurance exchanges of the 90s. The exchange model of Workable Choice is one that allows the comparison of quality and access, not just prices. The thoughtfully prepared user interface allows users to control the experience. Users that want to know all the details of the plans can utilize the educational resources, while the users who want to sign up for their benefits as quickly as possible can still be matched with an appropriate plan very quickly.
Employers will also appreciate all the features of a modern exchange. Workable Choice presents employers with online billing and electronic payment options that allow employers to make one monthly payment, no matter how many different insurance plans are selected by their employees. Workable Choice also tracks defined contributions from employers that employees use to make purchases through the exchange. The defined contribution exchange helps employers set a fixed employee benefits budget.
Workable Choice offers benefit products beyond health insurance. The product mix can include tax-advantaged savings options like health savings accounts and flexible spending accounts. Workable Solutions’ technical team uses advanced database development tools to provide a single point of education, selection and enrollment for the full menu of available benefit options. This ensures optimal functionality and allows the insurance exchange to be completely customized to meet the needs of the client. “Health insurance is complicated enough. We firmly believe our tools for exchanges create more informed consumers and that fosters higher satisfaction.”
Workable Solutions is based in Orlando, FL and provides a full array of employee benefit solutions including HSA, HRA, FSA and commuter accounts, COBRA administration, benefits administration outsourcing, defined contribution solutions, and health insurance exchange technology and administration. Their Workable Choice Exchange application provides plan selection assistance, comparison-shopping technology, eligibility management, enrollment, consolidated billing, and more. Workable also offers a myriad of defined contribution options, which allow employers to control their employee health care costs while giving their employees greater choice and flexibility.
