September 20, 2010, Colorado Springs, CO— Ideavise, a creative and professional services agency with locations in Colorado and California, is excited to announce their attendance of the 2010 Interbike trade show in Las Vegas, Nevada on September 22nd and 23rd. Ideavise will be utilizing their time at Interbike to seek out new client relationships and demonstrate their latest project, a browser-based web-application built around the integration of a 'paperless' workflow into existing corporate software suites and databases, as well as enterprise software integration using cutting-edge tablet devices such as Apple's iPad and various Android devices anticipated later this year. According to Ideavise, the most obvious application of this technology is within the wholesale and distributor channels. A 'paperless' workflow has the potential to offer a direct, digital information connection to sales reps, field marketing agents, and other company assets. This system facilitates streamlined communication, order placement, fulfillment and tracking from 3G and wireless enabled devices. Here are just a few of the intrinsic advantages of the 'paperless' workflow:
- Minimizes the spread of sensitive, proprietary information
- Reduces the operational costs associated with the acquisition of office supplies as well as the time spent faxing and photocopying
- Takes a crucial step in reducing or eliminating the 4,000,000 tons (8 billion pounds!!!) of office paper which are annually discarded in the United States [1]
In addition to their 'paperless' demos, Ideavise will be promoting their abilities in the fields of print and web design, broad-based marketing, ecommerce implementations, brand identity consulting, and more!
"We're excited to bring this technology to Interbike, " says Ideavise partner, Brian DeLong. "Mobile technology has been touted as the next big thing for several years now, and we are proud to be able to serve our clients with an environmentally significant 'paperless' application which can be integrated into a variety of enterprise platforms." Ideavise Partner and Creative Director, Jason Lombard, is equally enthused; "The outdoor industry is a unique niche market, and our clients benefit directly from our two decades of combined experience in this market." He continued, "Instead of spending valuable client dollars getting up to speed on history and trends within the industry, we're able to hit the ground running, adding tangible value to client projects quickly and cost-effectively."
According to the International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED) [2], over 95% of business information is stored on paper. Additionally, the manufacture of paper is the 3rd largest consumer of fossil fuels worldwide [3]. Ideavise is committed to the development of cutting-edge technologies that will improve the efficiency of the production and communications cycle of any business as well as reduce the consumption of fossil fuels and the dependence of the United States on foreign sources of these fossil fuels.
About the CompanyIdeavise draws on a rich history of expertise within the outdoor recreation community—spanning almost 20 years. During their employment at cutting-edge brands like Santa Cruz Bicycles, Light & Motion, Carmichael Training Systems and Fox Racing, company founders Jason Lombard and Brian DeLong noticed a void in the market. They noticed that large-scale agencies existed to satisfy the needs of the larger corporations, while smaller companies went largely unserved. As a response to this need, Ideavise was born in 2008 as a full-service creative and professional services agency specializing in design, marketing, brand positioning and technology solutions for small businesses. With offices in Colorado and California, the Ideavise team boasts an impressive client list from the outdoor industry and beyond, including: the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA), Somnio Running Shoes, Rotor Bicycle Components, Alison Dunlap Adventure Camps, Giving Every Child Knowledge of the Outdoors (GECKO) and many others!###
