Data Processing & Hosting Services in the US Industry Market Research Report Now Available from IBISWorld

Posted on May 20, 2012 by cliford

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) May 20, 2012

Businesses are increasingly outsourcing their information technology (IT) infrastructure needs, which has benefited the Data Processing and Hosting Services industry. This industry provides infrastructure for hosting or data processing services used for a variety of IT-related activities, ranging from web hosting to automated data entry services. The industry fared well during the past five years, with revenue growing at an annualized rate of 2.4% to $ 81.3 billion in 2012. In 2012, IBISWorld expects revenue to grow 5.9%, reflecting a stronger economy and an increase in the use of industry products by companies. ?Growth was spurred by investment in outsourcing application hosting to specialized firms as an alternative to local hosting of enterprise software during the five years to 2012,? said IBISWorld industry analyst Andrew Krabeepetcharat. Because revenue depends on subscriptions, the pullback of IT spending during the recession slowed the rate of revenue growth. Spending has picked up since 2007, and it is expected to grow even faster in 2012 as firms increasingly outsource their IT needs to third parties.

Merger and acquisition (M&A) activity is anticipated to increase during the next five years as industry firms consolidate to reduce redundancies and increase the subscriber base over which they can allocate computing resources. Also, supply disruptions in the hardware space (e.g. the flooding of hard-drive manufacturing plants in Thailand during 2011) may push companies that managed their IT infrastructure needs in-house to opt for a third-party provider. Other factors will also play into growth in the coming years. Consolidation within other industries will push businesses to outsource their IT needs as systems become too complex to maintain in-house. At the same time, the exponential growth in complexity as scale grows, will increase the level of expertise needed to effectively manage large data centers. As firms begin capturing more data, they will increasingly require outside expertise to manage their data collection, hosting and processing. As a result, revenue is forecast to grow at an through 2017.

In 2012, IBISWorld estimates that the four largest operators in the Data Processing and Hosting Services industry will account for an estimated 33.6% of industry revenue. According to Krabeepetcharat, the level of concentration in the industry is low, primarily due to the range of services that data processing and hosting service companies can provide. In terms of the size of establishments according to staff levels, the industry is highly fragmented, with 56.9% of all establishments employing fewer than five people in 2012. Large establishments of 100 or more employees represent just 8.6% of the industry. These numbers may be skewed due to outsourcing; some firms may have more employees overseas that are not included in the data for this industry.

Mp-comp.co.uk Launches Innokin LEA E-Cigarette in Leather Carry Case

Posted on May 20, 2012 by cliford

(PRWEB) May 20, 2012

Mp-comp.co.uk launches Innokin lea e cigarette in leather carry case. The Innokin lea is a new design released in May 2011. Extensive R&D has made this a superior unit to it’s predecessors. It is very easy to fill & leak-proof (something earlier tank (cartridge) based e-cigs have not been able to claim.). Its vapor production is good, producing a satisfyingly significant improvement in ‘throat-hit’ over cigarette sized e-cigarettes. Battery life is also good, one LEA battery lasts 5 months before needing replacement. This makes a favorable impact on ‘running-costs’, as all e cigs require periodic replacement of atomizers & batteries.

Battery indicators mean users are far less likely to unexpectedly end up with a dead battery.

Main Features of Innokin LEA:

1. Clear tank that is leak-resistant: clearly see the capacity/contents of the cartridge. Problems with traditional cartridges have been eliminated.

2. The most technologically advanced ON/OFF safety system: Accidental power-on issue removed with the introduction of a multi-tap switch system.

3. Advanced battery voltage display. Users can see battery status via color change sequence built into the power button.

4. Pass Through function (Voltage controlled). Users can vape and charge the LEA at the same time. You can use/charge the LEA anywhere a USB port (or charger) is available.

5. Cartridge sanitary shell design. LEA uses a sanitary shell with added compartment keeping the cartridge and atomizer clean and protecting the atomizer.

All units are the latest version #2 or better. This is an improved & more robust design, made as a direct result of feed-back on the first release.

Electronic Cigarette Manufacturers Estimate:

As consumable items it is wise to carry spares to avoid disruption of use. In the same way as a conventional cigarette lighter can fail, batteries & atomizers have limited lifespan.

LEA Usage Tips

Note: – The Innokin LEA is a tank system e cigarette. It has a type 510 thread which means any 510 atomizer/cartomizer may connect to its’ 650mah battery.

Photographs shown of the LEA are the manufacturer?s images of the ‘version 1′ LEA. Current stock is ‘version 2′ or better. ‘Metalwork’ on the units is now in either gold or silver colored finishes.

Interior of case has a black velvet lining, not the light grey option shown in one of the sample pictures.

It should be noted that colors may appear slightly different in different lighting conditions to the photographic representations here displayed; particularly as each computer monitors’ display will be set according to user preferences.

Who is the Team Behind the UK’s Largest Model Agency Directory? UKMA Spill the Beans and Shout about Their Winning Team as Their 6th Birthday Beckons

Posted on May 20, 2012 by cliford

London, UK (PRWEB UK) 20 May 2012

Meet the team from UK Model Agencies. The specialists in providing all the latest up to date modelling news, introduce themselves.

With a website going from strength to strength and reporting more unique visitors than ever before, the team at UK Model Agencies have decided that now is a good time to introduce themselves to their readers as they reach their 6th anniversary of going live.

Stevie Lake is Marketing Manager for the winning website. ‘We have a fantastic team here at UKMA and we suddenly realised we’ve not intoduced ourselves! We get on really well; know each other inside and out because we work so closely together. We bounce ideas off each other to find all the latest model news and information and we pride ourselves in putting it out there for our loyal readership.’

Stevie explains his role, scouring the newspapers and online articles. He is responsible for reporting on the latest fashion trends, what’s in vogue and what’s not hot at the moment. He also sources the ever growing list of model agencies listed on the UK’s largest online model agency directory.

‘I can be trying to find out something to put in the news section, when I realise it’s an article that may interest one of my colleagues,’ he continues, ‘so we swap bits and pieces of information and help each other out.’

Helen Stark, Fashion Editor for UKMA agrees. ‘ Stevie can be updating the website, promoting a new advertiser for example, when he comes across something which will have an effect on model fashion, so he passes it straight onto me.’ She continues, ‘more often than not I already know about it, but he has been known to catch me out!’

She explains her role as sourcing and reporting on high fashion and celebrity chic. ‘I sometimes pinch myself as I get to catch up on all the latest entertainment gossip, who is seeing who, what’s hot and what’s not and get paid for the privilege.’ When asked what her favourite section is so far, she explains that her pieces of writing based on the model eras fascinated her. ‘I love seeing how fashion has been shaped over the decades, and how a lot of fashion trends come around again, influencing how a model dresses.’

Jim Dawson is Chief Press Officer for UK Model Agencies and clearly loves his job. ‘Being part of such a knowledgeable team at UKMA certainly has its advantages and makes my life much easier.’ Jim is responsible for spreading the word about the website, but also coordinating the articles which go on to UKMA. ‘The guys here will write and do their research, upload their information to the site, but it’s my job to spread the word to all the models on our books. We sent out nearly 4000 e-mails just in the last two weeks’, he grins.’ With the team also being various age groups, we can cater for all ages of model that maybe tuning in, from teenagers to the more mature, our website is tailored for all ages.’

It seems the team at UKMA are one big happy family, sharing their knowledge and expertise to any model or actor who requires a helping hand. Meet more of the team at https://www.ukmodelagencies.co.uk and keep up to date with all things modelling.
