  • Business Process Management Tasks

    Business Process ManagementBusiness Process Management Tasks

    Business process management tasks can be grouped into five categories: design, modeling, execution, monitoring, and optimization.

    Design

    Process Design involves both the identification of existing processes and the design or recommendations of future processes. Areas of focus include representation of the work flow, the forces that act on it, interruptions, deadlines, procedures, service level agreements, and inputs and outputs.

    Good design reduces the number of problems over the lifetime of the process. Whether or not existing processes are considered, the aim of this step is to ensure that a correct and efficient theoretical design is prepared.

  • 5 Ways to Save Money on Corporate Blackberry Accounts

    Blackberry Torch 9800

    There are four basic things you can do if you own your own business or manage Blackberry’s for your business to save money on your coverage:

    1. Ask your corporate provider if everyone is on the same corporate billing account number (BAN): Doing this ensures a base line of corporate minutes and/or data per month for all of your users. This will decrease the surprises for what should or should not be included and reduce hassles as to why messages or bills are over their quota.

    2. Train those who travel the most frequently on roaming charges: Understanding roaming fees and SMS/calls is critical. Ensure that Blackberry Messenger (BBM) is used versus SMS since Canadian/North American providers charge the most in the world for texting and roaming in Canada is especially expensive.

    3. Instruct users to avoid dialing 1-800 numbers while outside of the US: In the United States, 1-800 numbers simply use ‘minutes’, but outside of the US they are no longer “toll free”. International long-distance rates will apply when they are dialed and therefore simply training your users not to dial them internationally will help.

    4. Isolate those who have the largest bills and revisit the their plans, specifically: User habits and behavior issues with how they are using the devices may be causing them to increase your costs without their knowledge. Once you identify what they are doing, you can instruct them on how to change habits or adjust their plan.

    5.  Work with your BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES) administrator to create a standard device model and operating system (OS) base:  When Blackberry users are due for a free upgrade, this allows for a smoother transition and cheaper training across the corporate board. Having to increase training time/costs to train for multiple OS versions and questions and guidance will affect the corporate budget.

    If your coporation is in need of BlackBerry skills training or support, Erich Stauffer conducts workshops focusing on how to be more efficient and productive when using your BlackBerry or Android Smartphone. Most smartphone users only use 10-20% of the device functionality. Our workshops will enable your staff to use their new skills to better utilize all the dynamic functionality their device has to offer, which can make them more productive for your corporation.

  • White Roof Paint

    White Roof Paint is White Elastomeric Roof Coating

    White roof paint is different than normal exterior paint. It’s elastomeric, which means that after drying, it resembles rubber, yet resumes its original shape when a deforming force is removed, and it’s reflective. Reflecting the sun’s light and UV rays means it’s also reflecting the sun’s heat – and that is where the cost savings comes into play. The less heat the sun adds to a building, the less electricity it will cost to keep that building cool. And not only does white, reflective, elastomeric roof paint coatings reduce air-conditioning cost and lower roof and interior temperatures, it also seals roofs to prevent leaks.

    Most white roof coating paint is acrylic elastomeric resin like liquid rubber, which resists cracking and peeling, and expands and contracts up to 350%. It can be applied with a brush, roller, or via spray application. Different brands of paint have different peel strengths, solids count, solar reflectance values (also known as albedo), and thermal emittance. Premium white coatings reflect 90% or more of the sun’s rays by forming a thick rubber-like blanket of protection and reflection. Albedo solar reflectance is expressed either as a decimal fraction or a percentage. A value of 0 indicates that the surface absorbs all solar radiation, and a value of 1 represents total reflectivity. Thermal emittance is also expressed either as a decimal fraction between 0 and 1, or a percentage.

    Another method of evaluating coolness is the solar reflectance index (SRI), which incorporates both solar reflectance and emittance in a single value. SRI quantifies how hot a surface would get relative to standard black and standard white surfaces[citation needed]. It is defined such that a standard black (reflectance 0.05, emittance 0.90) is 0 and a standard white (reflectance 0.80, emittance 0.90) is 100. The use of SRI as a combined measurement of reflectance has been disputed, since it has been shown that two different products with identical SRI numbers can yield significantly different energy savings results depending on what geographic region they are applied in, and the climatic conditions present in this region.

    3 of the Most Popular White Roof Paint Elastomeric and Relective Coatings

    Kool Seal® Premium White Elastomeric Roof Coating (63-600) is formulated with 100% acrylic elastomeric resin. The coating forms a thick rubber-like blanket of protection that expands and contracts with roofs. It remains flexible from -30°F to 160°F for long-lasting protection and provides superior reflectivity to lower interior temperatures and save energy. Kool Seal® Premium White Elastomeric Roof Coat adheres to aged galvanized and prepainted metal, urethane and polystyrene, aged aluminum coating, precast concrete, flat and barrel cement tiles. For use on built-up roofs, modified bitumen, bonded tar & gravel, most other asphaltic surfaces and in ponding water situations, Kool Seal® Kool-Lastik™ Primer (34-600) is required.
    Henry’s HE287 – SOLARFLEX® Elastomeric Roof Coating is a premium, elastomeric, water-based acrylic latex coating. Properly applied, it is highly resistant to disbonding, chalking, mildew and discoloration. It can be used on well-drained surfaces which do not “pond” water; conventional, SBS, or APP mineral surface cap sheet; smooth surface built-up roofing, SBS, APP, or metal which has first been coated with conventional Henry #107® Asphalt; emulsion; stucco parapet walls; and roof surfaces previously coated with white or aluminum (aluminum must be allowed to weather a minimum of 90 days before coating. For warranty information, visit Henry.
    Liquid Rubber® which is the ONLY liquid form of EPDM in the world, is a unique form of EPDM rubber. As a liquid, it can conform to any shape of surface, ?ashing or protrusion, vertical or horizontal, and can be applied easily with a paint brush or roller. When mixed with a catalyst it cures by chemical reaction to form a self adhering solid seamless rubber sheet. Liquid Rubber® is a versatile coating for a broad range of applications. Its superior protective quality is derived from a unique combination of physical and chemical properties. Its EPDM chemistry provides for long durability, water resistance, a broad temperature tolerance and chemical resistance. As a chemically curing Liquid Rubber® it can form a ?exible membrane up to 25 mils thick in one coat. The exposure environment can vary from high humidity to total immersion; constant or cyclic temperature changes from minus -60 F to 300 F or corrosive environments consisting of vapors, liquids and salt solutions.

  • Email Pitches

    I wanted to share with you some things I learned at the Blog Indiana 2011 conference about email pitches. I think it will be helpful for you in the future. I learned them from Casey Mullins, who is a successful mommy blogger in Indiana.

    First, tell them what you can do for them, then how it will benefit them. Be humble and concise. Explain what you wish to get out of the communication and how they can contact you. This is kind of like the old saying, “people don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.” Today for them, tomorrow for you.

    Next, it’s best to greet each contact personally, but if you do send out a mass email, use the BCC line instead to protect the privacy of your email list. Also, attachments may cause your email to get filtered out as spam so its best to send those in a follow up email or send links instead.

    If you are just starting out, you might find Guy Kawasaki’s book, The Art of the Start, useful. If you buy the book through that link, I’ll get a percent of the purchase price of that and anything else you buy at Amazon.com as a commission, but another good resource is Startup Marketing or Seth Godin’s Blog.
