October 13, 2020 dhita yudha

European tech specialist Hg has reinvested in human resources and legal services provider Citation Group after agreeing to sell a controlling interest in the UK company to KKR in August.

Citation provides legal and human resources support for small- and medium-sized enterprises across the UK from offices in Wilmslow, Norwich, Belfast and Glasgow.

AlarmHive Alarm Industry Business Management Software From: AlarmHive

October 10, 2020 dhita yudha

SALT LAKE CITY, UT, July 17, 2020 — Over the course of the past 18 months, a company that started with one person’s vision of how work could improve for alarm dealers, was slowly building momentum. AlarmHive is now at the cusp of launching what they believe is an industry-changing business management software that was built from the ground-up for independent alarm dealers. The brainchild behind this movement is Richard Brimhall, Co-Founder of AlarmHive. He has been working tirelessly behind the scenes, along with his business partner, Trent Whatcott, and their founding team of professionals to create AlarmHive. Richard states that as he has worked throughout the industry, he felt dealers’ frustration with the current offering of business management software, and he knew there had to be a better way. He explained it as follows:

“I have worked just about every position within the alarm industry over the course of

October 8, 2020 dhita yudha

Orange Business Services, a network-native digital services company, and De Beers Marine South Africa, a division of De Beers – the world’s leading diamond company, have jointly installed and tested a customized IoT solution to provide geofencing to maintain safe working distances for crew around the heavy machinery involved in marine diamond mining operations.

Diamond mining vessels bring crew and heavy machinery into relatively close proximity, and De Beers is committed to ensuring the highest standards of operating safety for all personnel.

Restaurants top of mind in Small Business Services Commissioner Jonnel Doris’ meeting with Queens Community Board 5

October 6, 2020 dhita yudha

But that sympathy aside, the Commissioner is in a bind. What’s best for restaurants is only one of the determining factors of reopening policy for the city. Public health is another factor, Doris said.

“I just think that restraints that we have at the moment, both from [the standpoints of] the health crisis and trying to get our businesses open—it’s a delicate balance that we have to have,” he said.

Such is the tension that has defined the monthslong reopening process. Last week the city announced restaurants could open indoor dining at a quarter capacity by the end of the month, nominally ending a prolonged pressure campaign from the industry. But restaurants and advocates say it’s not enough to keep the industry afloat, and they continue to push for the full reopening of indoor dining.

“It makes a big difference between September, or October, or even November. December is maybe

Why GoDaddy Shares Rose 19% in August

October 4, 2020 dhita yudha

What happened

Shares of GoDaddy (NYSE:GDDY) gained 19.1% in August 2020, according to data from S&P Global Market Intelligence. The gains started with a strong earnings report and continued when Facebook (NASDAQ:FB) said that GoDaddy’s e-commerce tools soon will be integrated into Instagram’s online shopping platform.

So what

The domain-name manager and provider of various online business tools saw shares rising as much as 15% on August 6, boosted by a solid earnings report. Sales increased 9% year over year, and earnings would have been positive if not for a one-time tax charge of $850 million. This settlement of tax receivables is expected to lower the company’s tax payments by more than $1 billion over the next 8 years.

A smaller jump followed on August 25 when Instagram presented a list of platform partners for its fledgling e-commerce operations. There are two active partners so far, and the smaller one

Turnover in the Dutch business services sector fell 18.5% in the second quarter of this year, with the advertising and travel sectors particularly hard hit, national statistics agency CBS said.

The last major decline in turnover was the final quarter of 2009, at the height of the credit crisis, when business service sales fell by nearly 8%, the CBS said.

The travel sector saw sales plunge 90% in the second three months of the year, as coronavirus put paid to business travel and events. Advertising agencies saw their turnover fall by around one third while market research firms lost some 20%.

Nevertheless, one sector was able to benefit from the crisis. Corporate law firms and legal advisors booked 2% more profit during the second quarter, although this is a lower increase than in previous months, the CBS said.
