Clearway growing on new software IP


In the quiet town of Medfield, a 13-year-old company says it is about to change the way people handle information on their computers. To do so, it has more than doubled in size, spun off five subsidiaries and raised cash from one of the top-ranked golfers in the world — all in the last year.

Clearway Technology Partners Inc. was making a comfortable living for its employees — as well as CEO Kevin Cotter and president and COO Eugene Rodgers — as a consultancy focusing mostly on Microsoft Corp. solutions. But when a series of opportunities to acquire some intellectual property arose that would give the company its first software products on the market, Clearway jumped at the chance.

“We went from a services company to a services and software company. We know that they are two different models,” Cotter said.

Cotter, who was president at Aimnet Solutions and started Application Systems Group in 1987, and Rodgers, whose pedigree goes back to the inventors of the Internet, certainly had the experience to add software sales to the mix. But the profitable firm didn’t have the extra capital lying around.

Enter the world’s No. 10-ranked golfer, Ireland’s Padraig Harrington. Cotter and Rodgers said that Harrington is both a hands-off private investor and a willing participant in the company’s marketing efforts, having spoken before at Clearway client meetings.

With the funding in hand, Clearway bought the so-called game-changer IP from former Digital Equipment Corp. marketing consultant and former Boston College football star Tony Sukiennik, who had been working on the concept for six years at his now-defunct startup Infogenome LLC.

That IP has been spun out into Clearway Insight, and its software will launch this summer, first in a free consumer version.

The software enables the user to save anything he runs across while using his computer and automatically creates links with other related content to enable users to share their content with other Insight customers. It also allows users to pull various elements together into a structured format and publish it like a blog. But the potential killer app is the search function that would possibly cut down search times by as much as 20 percent, Cotter said.

One of the reasons they say the demand for a partner to buy into the product will be so great is because it will allow for ad targeting based on the stored and connected content, not just random search terms.

After the consumer version comes a corporate version for which will they will charge an as-yet undetermined amount, and which will be completely locked down within a corporate firewall for security purposes.

Now at 100 employees, Clearway thinks that it might need to reach 300 across all subsidiaries in one year’s time. To handle the anticipated massive traffic from the planned 2 gigabytes of storage Insight will give each user, the company is building a data center in Hyderabad, India, that will be launched in about 30 days, the company said.

Cotter and Rodgers are not shy about their claims for Insight.

“Whoever we embrace with this is going to have a much better position in the browser wars,” Rodgers said. He specifically targeted Google Inc.’s much-hyped and much-condemned Wave content sharing application.

“We think we can kill Wave,” he said.

Investors may look past earnings this week

2009 is easy to improve upon, but can companies continue profit growth
NEW YORK - For stock market investors, everything outside of what companies earn is pretty much noise.

Profit reports for the January-March quarter will start to trickle in this week and they are sure to look good. That's because business is improving, but also because the economy was so bad last year that it won't take much for companies to post better numbers. What investors want to know now is whether companies can keep the good news coming.

The early recovery in earnings came from heavy cost-cutting. By shearing away expenses, companies could generate profits on far less business than before the recession began at the end of 2007. Then, the newly slimmed down companies got a boost from heavy government stimulus spending and record-low interest rates. Investors will be looking for signs that companies can continue to do better even after the government removes emergency supports and businesses do more than just replace depleted inventories.

Equities Day Trader Business Project


Hi everybody My name is SEIT EREN and today I'll show present how to started a Equities Trader Business Project,let's started:
Experience Wall Street action without the suit trading stocks and commodities from home.

Business Overview
With the advent of the internet, an entirely new home based self-employment opportunity has surfaced. This business has the potential to generate six-figure incomes for everyday Americans who become day traders of equities and commodities. However, this opportunity certainly has a risky downside, as the potential is as great to lose money as it is to make it, especially for the novice and inexperienced trader. The key to successfully earning an income as an equities day trader is to gain as much knowledge about the industry as possible. Specialize in a specific type of stock or commodities trading, have considerable investment capital to get rolling, and most importantly nerves of steel and an understanding of what goes up must come down. Remember, most day traders go for short gains, buy in early and sell out the same day. Holding overnight is too much risk, especially for heavily invested traders in unstable market conditions. Of course, remember the golden rule of stock and commodities trading: "Never risk more than you can afford to lose."

Wall Street gains with energy sector, Dow touches 11,000


(Reuters) - U.S. stocks rose on Friday with the Dow surpassing 11,000 for the first time in a year-and-a-half after Chevron's upbeat outlook and wholesale inventories data reinforced bets on an improving economy.
The S&P energy sector .GSPE, up 1.1 percent, led the market's advance Chevron Corp CVX.N climbed 2.4 percent to $79.50 a day after it said its refining and marketing arm would return to profit in the first quarter.

Data showed U.S. wholesale inventories rose more than expected in February and sales at wholesalers reached their highest level in 16 months, brightening prospects for first-quarter economic and earnings growth.

Shares of technology companies, which are often among the first to benefit from economic strength, also outperformed the broadded 1.4 percent to $30.33ader market. Cisco Systems gained 1.2 percent to $26.60 and Microsoft Corp(MST.O)added 1.4 percent to $30.33
Most investors acknowledge that the recession has ended, and the question facing the market now is, 'Are we moving from a recovery to sustainable growth?'" said Michael Sheldon, chief market strategist at RDM Financial in Westport, Connecticut. "Economic data so far in April has been fairly encouraging."

The Dow briefly surpassed the psychologically important 11,000 mark late in the session for the first time since September 2008, when Wall Street was reeling from the credit meltdown, though on Friday, the Dow closed a shade below that milestone.

The three major U.S. stock indexes scored a sixth straight week of gains -- a positive run not seen since stocks rebounded from more than 12-year lows in March 2009.The Dow Jones industrial average DIJI gained 70.28 points, or 0.64 percent, to 10,997.35. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index .SPX rose 7.93 points, or 0.67 percent, to 1,194.37. The Nasdaq Composite Index IXIC added 17.24 points, or 0.71 percent, to 2,454.05.

For the week, the Dow rose 0.6 percent, the S&P 500 gained 1.4 percent and the Nasdaq advanced 2.1 percent.

Though some momentum indicators suggest the rally could start to run out of steam, the market has continued to grind higher and add another leg to the run-up started last March. The S&P 500 has gained 76.5 percent since it hit a 12-year closing low March 9, 2009.

"It's hard to rationalize how a market can keep going up without increasing amounts of volume to support the rally," Sheldon said. "At some point, that will become a factor, but at least for now, the trend remains higher."Worries about Greece's debt problems, which have weighed on stocks for weeks, eased after a European Union source said policy-makers had reached an agreement on terms of possible emergency loans for Athens. The U.S. dollar index .DXY slipped 0.8 percent. Earlier, stocks pared gains on news that Fitch downgraded Greece's debt rating

Herb Farm Business Startups Project


Hello everybody My name is SEIT EREN and today I'll present HERB FARM Business project look what you need to start this busine

BUSINESS OVERVIEW

Herbs are tremendously popular these days--from the smallest shop to the largest discount warehouse, you'll find medicinal herbs, culinary herbs, and herbal teas, baths, candles and aromatherapy essences. If you love the romance and mystique of herbs and you like gardening then an herb farm might be just the business for you. You'll plant and raise your herbs, then sell them to wholesale or retail customers. You can also sell container plants or herbal products like soaps or vinegars. Some herb farmers operate pick-your-own fields where customers can gather their own plants. The advantages to this business are that it's just you and Mother Nature--this is real back-to-basics stuff, good for the body and the soul--and you can start from home, part time if you like. You can start out small, growing your herbs in a large backyard or renting inexpensive land, but keep in mind that your profits will also be small unless you've got two-digit acreage. You'll need a solid working knowledge of growing and nurturing herbs. If you'll be working several acres or more, you'll need to know farming techniques as well--commercial growing is different from coaxing along a few plants in a backyard border. You'll also need a firm grounding in the wholesale herb business--what's popular, who's buying it for what purposes, which herbs are best abandoned to agribusiness and which new herbs are likely to be the 'in' product in the next few years. (Since it can take two years to reap the rewards of your labors, you'll need to forecast at least this far ahead.) In addition to all this, you'll need top-notch sales and marketing skills to get your herbs in the marketplace and keep them there.

THE MARKET

Your customers can be wholesale distributors buying for health product manufacturers, grocery chains and restaurants, or you can sell directly to these businesses yourself. You can target other SOHOs--artisans and crafters who work with herbs--as well as caterers; makers of beauty, health and skin care products; and natural-foods stores. You can sell potted plants to garden centers, florists and nurseries. And you can put your herbs directly in the public's hands by selling at farmers' markets and flea markets. Your best bet for selling to other businesses large or small is to develop a niche--a specialty that's fresh and new in your area--so that instead of competing, you've got an untapped market. If you want to go the wholesale route, contact distributors (which you can locate through herb and specialty foods organizations). To sell directly to SOHOs, take samples of your herbs to them and ask for their business. For farmers' and flea markets, contact the market organizer to find out about fees, then make space reservations--display space at some flea markets and swap meets can be very competitive, so don't wait until the last minute to make arrangements. If you plan on a pick-it-yourself operation, advertise in local papers and put advertising/directional signs on roads leading to your farm. (Make sure to get permission from land owners and local zoning authorities.)

NEEDED EQUIPMENT

First and foremost, you'll need a good chunk of soil. If you've got acreage, you're ahead of the game. If not, you can often rent land inexpensively--try power companies with fallow land beneath their towers or property owners with unused acres in rural areas of your town or county. One thing to watch for is that wholesale buyers of natural products may require your farm to be on certifiably organic land--one on which nothing was previously grown using pesticides, herbicides or fertilizers. (This certification comes from a state agency or a private organization, depending on your state.) Next you'll need seeds and growing supplies. If you live in a cold-weather locale, you may want to invest in a greenhouse. You'll also need a pickup truck or van to deliver your produce to customers.
