GovDelivery Just Hit 100 Million Users. Here's How.

Nov 18, 2015 Tania Anderson, Bisnow DC

GovDelivery's annual revenue is growing at an clip of 20% to 40%, and it just reached 100 million users. Who knew government information could be so compelling?


                                                                                                                                                                         The St. Paul, MN-based company’s software is used by over 1,000 state, local, federal and international governments to send text, email and social media blasts to its citizens on everything from which streets have been plowed to the latest toy recalls. CMO Steve Ressler (above) says hitting 100 million users is significant given that it’s government information and hovering around the same amount of people who use Pinterest.

Both companies has similar growth of revenues.

from various prominent insurance carriers. Any loss by Bolt of one or more of these agency appointments or one or more of its large platform customers would
have a negative impact on Bolt’s business, financial results and condition, but Bolt does not have any agency appointment or customer the loss of which would
have a materially adverse financial impact on our vertical cloud business as a whole. Bolt’s platform customers pay both subscription and transaction-based fees
(commissions) for use of its platform; the insurance carriers whose products are sold on the platform pay Bolt on a commissions basis for products sold. Bolt sells
the periodic (usually multi-year) platform subscriptions to its customers and establishes and manages its carrier agency relationships directly through its internal
sales team. In addition to the revenue Bolt derives from providing access to its platform, Bolt also operates as an independent insurance agency and sells
commercial and personal property and casualty insurance products directly to consumers online through its platform; those sales represent a relatively small
percentage of Bolt’s business.

The insurance intermediary business is highly competitive, and numerous firms, some of which have substantially greater financial and other resources, name
recognition and market presence than Bolt, actively compete with Bolt for customers and insurance markets. Competition in the insurance business is largely based
on innovation, quality of service and price. A number of insurance companies directly sell insurance, primarily to individuals, and do not pay commissions to thirdparty
agents and brokers. In addition, the cloud has increasingly become a source for the direct placement of personal business lines. We believe that Bolt’s unique
platform and the product and technology connectivity that it offers allows Bolt to compete in the insurance market. During the nine months ended September 30,
2015, Bolt spent approximately $3.5 million on research and development activities.
As of September 30, 2015 , Bolt had 202 employees, six of whom were part-time employees.

and more (with the HQ RegXR Account application featuring a sophisticated regulatory cross-referencing engine);
• robust chemical management tools, including chemical mapping features, which significantly increase control over the location, status and risks
associated with the chemicals at their facilities;
• mobile-enabled functionality and chemical inventory scanning technology, which allow on-the-spot access to chemical inventory information via
mobile devices; and
• quick ROI and low cost of ownership, as they eliminate time-consuming, manual administrative tasks.
VelocityEHS offers a number of customer services to support its HQ Account and HQ RegXR Account applications, such as customer training, safety data sheet
authoring and compiling/indexing of customers’ online safety data sheet libraries; those services are sold to customers on a project fee basis.
Additionally, in part through its acquisition of KMI, VelocityEHS offers a comprehensive suite of cloud-based EH&S tools that allow customers to gain visibility
into, and control risk at, their companies in the areas of incident management, audit and inspection training, compliance management, risk analysis, greenhouse gas
reporting and sustainability metrics and reporting.
VelocityEHS has close to 11,100 customers; 75% are platform customers, and none of which accounts for a material portion of the company’s annual revenues.
The market for EH&S software is fragmented and competitive. When selling its applications and services to large organizations, VelocityEHS faces competition
from both large horizontal/multi-industry software companies that offer EH&S modules and smaller software companies focused solely on EH&S markets; some
of these software companies provide cloud-based software solutions, while others offer only traditional, on-premise software solutions. In the large enterprise
EH&S market, VelocityEHS often competes with incumbent vendors, many of which have more name recognition and financial and other resources than
VelocityEHS. In the mid-market, VelocityEHS competes sometimes with smaller software companies but more often with home-grown (often manual/offline)
solutions that current and prospective customers may develop. We believe that VelocityEHS’ unparalleled proprietary database, which contains over 8.8 million
safety data sheets, along with its cloud-based, EH&S-focused technology, its sales and marketing expertise and its deep EH&S and regulatory domain knowledge,
provides VelocityEHS with a strong competitive position relative to both large and small companies offering competing EH&S software solutions. During the nine
months ended September 30, 2015, VelocityEHS spent approximately $4.4 million on research and development initiatives.
As of September 30, 2015 , VelocityEHS had 322 employees, three of whom were part-time employees.

InstaMed stands out as an operator of a single proprietary network that can handle both healthcare and payment transactions. Reinforcing this unique attribute is InstaMed’s compliance to both PCI and EHNAC standards.

- Bank Technology News – Red Gillen, Celent

The ability to use the InstaMed Go app with our mobile devices has helped us to significantly increase front office collections by accepting payments at all points of patient interaction. Instead of asking a patient to go to another desk to pay, staff can collect payments using iPads during bedside discharge. Since patients have more places and opportunities to pay, we are collecting more payments during patient visits and ensuring the patient responsibility is paid. Additionally, the ability to access payment information and reporting tools from my iPad is wonderful because I’m constantly traveling between our various locations – regardless of where I am, I can check the balance for the day or access real-time reports.

This is the time of year when college rankings proliferate to capture the attention of a new crop of high-school seniors searching for the right campus. In recent months, I’ve written about two fairly new entrants to the rankings game that are worth checking out for their unique methodology, Money magazine and LinkedIn.

Now another set of rankings has arrived this month that approaches the question of where to go to college based on the choices real students make: which institutions do students pick when they have been accepted to more than one institution?

These rankings come from Parchment, which processes transcripts for high-school students applying to college. It analyzed more than 150,000 admissions acceptances that some 86,000 seniors from the Class of 2015 received from 700 colleges and universities. The company then assigned points to institutions based on the decisions students made when they had a choice among multiple colleges.

InstaMed supports health care clearinghouse, eligibility, estimation, patient and payer payment and patient billing transactions, which enables payers to disburse payments at a lower cost with fewer incidents of fraud, and gives patients a simple, convenient and secure way to pay. Company revenues grew from $3.8 million in 2009 to more than $10 million in 2011, or 167 percent.

The ability of consumers to pay their medical bills using mobile devices is a win-win for patients and providers. Mobile devices and apps give consumers unprecedented flexibility and convenience to transact business while on the go.

Should the mobile payments market remain fragmented, healthcare organizations and payment services providers will either have to accommodate numerous platforms or select one, as InstaMed did last April when it announced it would add support for Apple Pay. In 2011, mobile payments made up 2 percent of InstaMed’s payments from consumers. In 2015, close to 20 percent of all consumer payments were coming from a mobile device.

Officials at colleges that have made the switch said digital transcripts are cheaper and more efficient than paper versions. Those savings can benefit both students and institutions.

“This is a revolution in the way we do things,” said Tammi Coble, the registrar at Cateret Community College, which is located in Morehead City, North Carolina.

Cateret recently signed on with Parchment. The company handles student requests for transcripts as well as their distribution. The college paid for an initial contract with Parchment but does not pay a recurring fee to the company. And Coble and her colleagues no longer have to touch transcripts or track down students to bill them for the documents.

Student accounts with Parchment are free. And they can stack all their credentials with the company’s transcript exchange.

Parchment charges institutions for the outsourced transcript processing. And students typically pay a small amount -- ranging from $3 to $10 -- to institutions to have digital transcripts distributed, printed and mailed. Colleges often use that revenue to help offset the Parchment fee.

“We do not determine if and how much an institution charges the students, though our fee to them may influence what they decide to charge students,” a spokeswoman for the company said via email. “There is always a cost associated with processing a transcript, whether paper or electronic. And all institutions manage those costs differently.”

The new act does include a potential exception to the increases, noting that OSHA is allowed to forego following the enhanced financial guidelines if “increasing the civil monetary penalty by the otherwise required amount will have a negative economic impact [on America]” or “the social costs of increasing the civil monetary penalty by the otherwise required amount outweigh the benefits.” Obviously, this language will give OSHA considerable latitude to apply these fines as they see fit.

With recent pushback against OSHA’s attempts to strengthen everything from enforcement protocols on joint-employer worksites to PELs for silica dust, the approval of this massive increase in penalties comes as a surprise to some. The Wall Street Journal went as far as to hint that legislators may not have even been aware of the new act, calling it “little-noticed” and reporting that many in the industry “were caught by surprise by the new mandate.” Others characterized the legislation a “Trojan horse” snuck into the budget.

New Alliance between SunGard K-12 Education and Parchment Helps Schools Securely Transmit Electronic Academic Credentials
.

Website ImageLeading software and technical services provider, SunGard K-12 Education, has selected Parchment as its premier provider for the transmission of electronic academic credentials, including transcripts. This new alliance will allow the almost 1,400 public school districts and charter schools using SunGard K-12’s eSchoolPLUS student information system to gain peace of mind as they help their students securely share key academic achievements with community colleges, four-year public and private colleges and universities, trade schools, and employers.

SunGard K-12 Education’s eSchoolPLUS, an industry-recognized solution for managing student data, helps educational stakeholders—students, school administrators, district staff, teachers, parents, and board members—easily manage and immediately access the summary and detailed student information they need, when they need it. At a time when schools and districts are being asked to share increasing amounts of data, eSchoolPLUS, which is built on a solid foundation of reliable and advanced technology, helps make organizing and disseminating information simple.

A high school transcript marks the first in a series of academic credentials students earn over the course of their lives. Leveraging this hard-earned credential to access future opportunities, including a postsecondary education or a career, can create significant value. The ability to send this credential safely and securely through an electronic medium is how students expect the transaction to occur.
