Newtek Launches "The Newtek Advantage" Cloud-Based Operating Platform For Small Business
NEW YORK, Oct. 24, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Newtek Business Services, Inc., NASDAQ: NEWT, The Small Business Authority®, announced today that it will formally launch its revolutionary, state-of-the-art "Newtek Advantage" cloud-based operating platform for use by small- and medium-sized businesses (SMB). The launch will take place on November 14, 2012 at the NASDAQ MarketSite at 12 pm EST. The event is by invitation only; clients and media are welcome to register by emailing hrazon@thesba.com.
The Newtek Advantage is a mobile real-time SMB management platform, not just a mobile application or "app." It puts all critical transactions of a small-to-medium- sized business, as well as economic, eCommerce and web site traffic data on the business's smartphone, tablet, laptop or PC. Newtek's unique market position, of being a large web hosting company, payment processor, gateway provider, web designer and web services company, enables it to aggregate and drive vital real-time business intelligence information to a business owners' smart phone or tablet. The Newtek Advantage provides the actionable intelligence that businesses and technicians will require and utilize in the future of mobile eCommerce and will give them the advantage to succeed in this new environment. This revolutionary platform will allow owners and operators of small- and medium-sized businesses to manage their businesses from their mobile device anywhere, anytime and without an IT department.
Tobin Smith, founder of NBT Equities Research, an expert in cloud computing equities and editor-in-chief of CloudInvestor.com, will be speaking at the press conference to discuss the importance of cloud computing and the mobile Newtek Advantage platform. This will be the first in a series of business applications that Newtek will be introducing to the market. One can view the features of the mobile application by clicking on this link.
Smith commented, "The mobile data revolution means nothing to a small-business manager unless they can get what they need whenever and wherever they are. What is revolutionary about the new Newtek Advantage is that it is a mobile SMB management platform, not just an app. The Newtek Advantage puts the key management and decision-making data on a smartphone, tablet or laptop in real time. Best of all, this platform function is free to Newtek clients.
The Newtek Advantage is SMART:
-- S: Sales Increased - less time dealing with administrative matters means
more time selling and servicing customers.
-- M: More Control, Less Surprises - key business stats and metrics are
available in real time; small businesses can make more informed
decisions faster and never be out of touch with the most important
business data.
-- A: Accelerated Profits - real-time information means better and more
profitable decisions.
-- R: Real-time information means key business management data is only
seconds away, whenever and wherever the business operator is.
-- T: Technology Enhancements - leads to decreased cost and expense of an
IT department - everything is in the Cloud.
President and CEO, Barry Sloane said, "We believe that mobile applications hosted in the Cloud will continue to proliferate and become the standard for independent business owners. Newtek - "The Small Business Authority"(®) is excited to launch its first in a series of cloud-based platforms and applications for independent small businesses across the United States. All of the applications will perform on the Newtek Advantage platform. We have spent years developing this platform internally and have recently filed a patent application with the US Patent office on this revolutionary state-of-the-art business system."
Newtek Business Services processes electronic payments in excess of $4 billion annually. Newtek has over 100,000 domain names registered and currently hosts over 58,000 business sites in its secure, military-strength proof, level-4 data center. Newtek will be launching future applications generated from The Newtek Advantage platform within the next two quarters featuring "Payroll in the Cloud" and "Insurance in the Cloud".
