MyLife.com Touts Position as Leading People Review, Reputation Management Site
Los Angeles, California, Oct. 1, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LOS ANGELES, Oct. 1, 2015--MyLife.com, the Internet's original people review and reputation management site, has taken the controversial "Yelp for people" trend one step further by creating more than 225 million searchable personal webpages for every adult American. The site even has pages for Julia Cordray and Nicole McCullough, founders of Peeple, a soon-to-launch app following MyLife's platform for leaving personal, professional, and even romantic reviews for other people.
"Peeple is being trashed as the 'Yelp for people' for reducing personal opinions to a simple reviews app. MyLife has been offering not only a personal reviews platform, but features that allow individuals to cultivate a more accurate and positive online reputation," said Jeff Tinsley, founder of MyLife.com, a website with 6 million unique monthly visitors. "In its launch six months ago, MyLife pioneered the concept of categorized reviews for people. However, that was only one feature in a series of many designed to help members protect, shape, and monitor their online reputations."
In addition to providing millions of Americans with personal, professional, and intimate feedback via its categorized review platform, MyLife.com is also providing individuals the ability to:
- View, monitor, and control all personal information being exposed around the web
- Read/post personal, professional, and romantic reviews
- Remove private information from other sites
- Discover who is accessing their information and/or searching their name
- Claim and manage their personal MyLife webpage
"Whereas Peeple seems to position its subjects as powerless victims of their reviews, MyLife.com is focused on empowering its members," says Tinsley. "The entire purpose of MyLife.com is to give individuals a voice and help them take control of their online reputations, not succumb to them."
In just three months, MyLife.com has seen its numbers grow from 4.7 million unique visitors to nearly 6 million in September.

Full SDS Support for Common App Now Available in the TargetX Recruitment CRM
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 1, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TargetX announced today an expanded partnership with The Common Application which now includes the ability to seamlessly integrate with their Scheduled Delivery Service (SDS). The new integration process is managed entirely by TargetX and requires nothing more than signing up for SDS on the part of the college or university. This is the first such integration between the Common App and the Salesforce platform.
In addition to streamlining the data integration, TargetX also announced that the new templates automate both the Common App data delivery as well as all individual PDFs for supporting documentation (such as recommendations, writing supplements, transcripts), which are immediately available in the TargetX Decision module.
"As our CRM evolves, we're so pleased to announce a solution that will help admission counselors process and read every component of The Common Application directly in the CRM through a feature that is provided at no additional cost to clients," says Sasha Peterson, CEO of TargetX. "We know how critical it is for admissions officers to access and evaluate student applications quickly and simply, without the need for IT support. This is it. And we knew we had something big when one of our clients immediately remarked 'This is a game changer.'"

TargetX Builds College Application Process Students Really Want
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 1, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TargetX showcases the first online application designed for students during the National Association for College Admission Counseling (NACAC) conference, October 1-3 in San Diego, CA.
TargetX's new student-centric Online Application is the first of its kind and the latest product released in the Recruitment CRM, the most comprehensive and compelling suite of recruitment solutions available in higher ed. Unlike most mobile applications framed around outdated paper models, TargetX's Online Application appeals to the growing number of students who use their phones to apply to college.
"Students are no longer linear," points out April Welch, Associate Vice President for Strategic Initiatives at Illinois Institute of Technology. "Other applications assume that a student is going to start the application, sit there and complete it. The TargetX application gives students the opportunity to jump around to the sections they want to. It gives them a great visual displaying the estimated time remaining to finish the application. Really, it is more geared towards the way students actually complete applications. Given the fact that they are applying to multiple places it is important to have a professional interface that gives our applicants a fast and smooth experience."
A Comprehensive Recruitment Suite of Solutions
In addition to the new Online Application, decision and scoring tools facilitate a paperless application review process, while student-yield tools like Schools App and UChat provide meaningful socio-behavioral data and communications opportunities. Every component of the CRM is backed by complete implementation services, training and an experienced support team for colleges to be successful.
"At TargetX, we've reimagined the entire recruitment process to better serve the needs of both students and admissions professionals," says CEO of TargetX, Sasha Peterson. "We invite admissions professionals to come see for themselves at the NACAC Conference in San Diego. They'll see how simple it is to build customized applications that attract students. They'll also witness the countless ways that applicants--who crave organization and guidance in their application experience--drove our product development process."
Visit TargetX at NACAC
Experience the ease and functionality of TargetX's new Online Application. Build your own application, review the backend functionality, and then explore the other modules of the recruitment suite -- from the iPad and web-based application review solution to the fully integrated engagement and yield tools. TargetX will be available in booth 301 and 312 October 1-3. Learn more or schedule an appointment at:

SYNNEX Solves Customer Bid Management Issues With New Bid Portal in ECExpress
GREENVILLE, S.C., Oct. 1, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SYNNEX Inspire North American Conference -- SYNNEX Corporation (NYSE:SNX), a leading technology solutions company, is launching its new Bid Portal feature in ECExpress 7, the company's eCommerce tool. Bid Portal was created to harness the volume of bids resellers have to manage, making it easier for them to have visibility to the opportunities available to them so they do not miss a chance to respond to their customers and close deals.
What once was a manual follow-up process with multiple emails and phone calls is now managed through a single pane of glass. Bid Portal displays the list of manufacturers with which the reseller has bids in progress for their customers with the parts, pricing, and bid start and end dates. If the bid has expired, it no longer shows up in their queue. All resellers can view what bids are available and open to them, and then can place orders off those bids.
"SYNNEX enhanced its new ECExpress 7 online ordering tool so our customers can view and act on all their outstanding bid opportunities," said Peter Larocque, President, North American Technology Solutions, SYNNEX Corporation. "Our new Bid Portal gives them one-click access to their vendor and end-customer bid information, so they can pursue and close those bids much faster."
"Our customers are under a lot of pressure and are asked to do more with less. Bid Portal is a useful resource that can help my internal sales team be more efficient to respond quickly to our customers, which translates into increased productivity on both sides of the equation. For us, we spend less time chasing bids, and our customers get what they need in a timely fashion. It's a win-win," said Jim McArdle, President, North Shore Computer, Inc.
The Bid Portal release comes a few months after the launch of the newly enhanced, intuitively designed ECExpress 7 platform, which allows customers to check SYNNEX inventory and prices with a single click; confirm order status, product availability and shipping warehouse; access CLOUDSolv, RENEWSolv and SERVICESolv platforms; and manage vendor product promotions and multiple incentive programs from one location through PROMOCentral."
SYNNEX customers will have access to Bid Portal through ECExpress 7 in mid-October 2015.

New Cloud-Based Software Platform Drives University Enrollment
Boston and NACAC, San Diego, Oct. 1, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Universities looking to increase their enrollment rates now have VisitDays, an online platform that automates the process of engaging the entire campus community in the recruitment and enrollment of new students. With the widespread launch of VisitDays Mobi, the first in a suite of offerings from the VisitDays platform, the company is bringing the power of its software to the campus visit process.
VisitDays Mobi automates and streamlines the scheduling of campus visits by prospective students. It brings the entire campus community into the process, including faculty, current students and administrators by connecting them with the visiting students before, during and after the visit.
Universities that were selected to participate in the initial release of VisitDays Mobi have seen a 30 percent increase in campus visits in the first year.
"In the competitive world of college admissions, the first visit is the gateway to the single greatest asset that universities have in their arsenal - the campus and the faculty and students who make up the school community," said Sujoy Roy, CEO, VisitDays. "VisitDays uses powerful technology that streamlines the process for both students and staff to help schools stand out against the competition."
VisitDays Mobi makes it easy for prospects and their parents to schedule a tour online, including via mobile devices, while providing schools with powerful scheduling and analytics tools that help admissions teams maximize their recruiting efforts and connect prospective students directly with the relevant members of the campus community.

Key features of VisitDays' Mobi include:
Simple Scheduling & Automated Communications
Prospective students register for campus visits through the university website, powered by VisitDays Mobi, immediately matching them to a specific tour guide. As soon as the student registers they receive opt-in text reminders from the school about the visit, including a check-in reminder minutes before arrival.Insights That Matter
VisitDays keeps tracks all student engagements for the university admissions team and provides day-to-day operational reporting so they know who will be visiting campus. Robust macro-level analytics are also built into the platform.Team Management
