Report: Only 50% of UK Top 100 Online Retailers Websites Have Optimized for Mobile vs 100% of US

Skava, the leading provider of multi-touch point retail technology, today announced that as part of a recent study, only half of the top 100 UK retailers have optimized their websites for mobile devices, compared to 100% of Top US retailers. Skava, a pioneering mobile app company since 2002 headquartered in San Francisco has recently opened a European office in London, England to cater for its global client base, as well as to offer its solutions to European Retailers to address this gap in retail solutions.
Today revenue from mobile accounts for over 1% of all online sales in Europe, but this is growing at a compound rate of 43.1%. Research firm Forrester estimates that by 2017, revenue from mobile will account for 6.8% or EUR 19bn in revenue (Forrester Research, Inc., EU Mobile Commerce Forecast, 2012 To 2017, July 2012).
"A number of factors encourage and inhibit the adoption of mobile commerce... consumer trust, the convenience and value proposition of mobile shopping, the ease of payment and the availability of products at the right price," said Martin Gill, Forrester analyst. "European eBusiness executives in many countries have been slow to provide mobile-optimized experiences and these factors -- both supply and demand -- will continue to limit the opportunities (Forrester Research, Inc., EU Mobile Commerce Forecast, 2012 To 2017, July 2012)."
A smartphone user has a distinct set of expectations when browsing on a mobile device compared to how they interact with their desktop or even their tablet. Retailers' websites which have not been optimized for tablet experience a far lower rate of conversion compared to one that has been specifically optimized for the device. Retailers need to be able to respond quickly to the ever shifting digital landscape and influx of new devices by making sure their e-commerce website is not only working properly but optimized for conversion across all devices, which a solution such as the SkavaONE Platform provides.
"Our recent findings show that European retailers have been slower to optimize their mobile websites, despite the demands from their customers and the revenue potential of catering to their needs," said Arish Ali, Skava CEO. "Mobile commerce is in its second wave in the US as retailers continually advance and improve on their mobile websites. Retail executives in the UK have started to realize the importance of providing optimized mobile and tablet experiences for their customers, and that is why Skava has entered the UK market at the right time to support retailers in this quest."
Skava's client list includes over 20% of the Top 30 Internet Retailers who have a combined online revenue of over $20 billion. To learn more about Skava's Retail solutions, visit www.skava.com
About Skava:
Skava is a leading provider of next-generation multi-channel e-Commerce solutions to retailers.

Tecan's OEM partner Dako unveils new platform at global congress

Tecan Group AG / Tecan's OEM partner Dako unveils new platform at global congress . Processed and transmitted by Thomson Reuters ONE. The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.
The Tecan Group (SIX Swiss Exchange: TECN) announced today that its OEM partner Dako, an Agilent Technologies Company and worldwide provider of cancer diagnostics, unveiled the new advanced staining platform at the 2013 USCAP congress in Baltimore, Maryland, USA. Earlier this week, it was presented to a global gathering of pathologists and lab personnel for the first time.
In May 2011, Tecan signed a major OEM agreement with Dako for the development and supply of an advanced staining platform. Formerly the development program was referred to by Tecan as P16. The solution, Dako Omnis, comprises hardware, software and reagents.
Lars Holmkvist, CEO of Dako said: "The Dako Omnis offers full-automation to satisfy the needs of large-scale laboratories, hospitals and universities. Tecan has been our ideal development partner for this system due to their strong application know-how and experience with end-customer workflows in the IHC and ISH segment. Furthermore, as we progressed through the development, we found that Tecan shared our values of innovation and ownership and that their experience in system integration was key in bringing the Dako OMNIS to market."
Tecan CEO David Martyr commented: "We are delighted to work with Dako, a global leader in the fast growing area of tissue-based cancer diagnostics. The Dako Omnis is really setting a new standard for advanced staining. We expect sales volumes for Tecan from the supply of the Dako Omnis to accelerate from the second half of this year with a substantial contribution to our sales growth from 2014 onwards. Based on our partnership today, we look forward to further intensify our relationship with Dako in the future."
Methods used in the diagnosis of abnormal cells such as those found in cancerous tumors include immunohistochemistry (IHC) and in situ hybridization (ISH). The Dako Omnis automates both IHC and ISH processes, meaning entire patient cases can be processed simultaneously. This allows pathologists to make quicker, more informed diagnoses. Oncologists can in turn prescribe relevant therapy with less anxiety-ridden waiting time for patients.
With continuous loading, batch loading and overnight run options all available, Dako Omnis sets new standards for what customers can expect from an automated platform in terms of flexibility, capacity, efficiency and traceability of slides. The platform provides state-of-the-art software to bring lab control to a new level. Now, key processes such as slide processing and instrument maintenance can be traced to individual operators, greatly increasing quality control.
About Tecan
Tecan (www.tecan.com) is a leading global provider of laboratory instruments and solutions in biopharmaceuticals, forensics and clinical diagnostics. The company specializes in the development, production and distribution of automated workflow solutions for laboratories in the life sciences sector.

PlanetEcosystems and Marin Energy Authority today announced that MCE, the first Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) program in California and electricity supplier of choice to Marin county and Richmond residents, will deploy PlanetEcosystems' P-ECOSYS consumer engagement platform.

"MCE's deployment of our consumer engagement platform, an initiative approved by the California Public Utilities Commission, represents a new era in energy efficiency," said Steve Malloy, co-founder and senior vice president of PlanetEcosystems. "As locally-based and competitive suppliers, CCAs are often more in tune with the needs of utility consumers. With our platform, MCE can uniquely support the breadth and depth of its heightened consumer engagement and value delivery needs."

rList.com- Business marketing, simplified.


Attorney, Georgine Podhorzky and marketing executive David Brown have teamed up on an exciting new marketing platform, rList.com. Podhorzsky and Brown are looking for partners with access to capital for a potential partnership.

Catering to businesses nationwide, rList.com will provide small business owners with multi-platform marketing in exchange for a low fixed monthly membership. rList.com is expected to launch in the fall.

When asked how he came up with the concept for the new platform, Brown replied, "Recently, I was in need of a plumber to fix a small leak in my home and after spending several frustrating hours browsing profiles and ads for plumbers, I decided theyre had to be an easier option. In my search for a simpler solution, I stumbled upon AngiesList.com. It seemed like a great deal, real customer testimonials for certified businesses but upon sign up it required my credit card for a membership fee of $24. From that moment, I set out to create a simple, no registration required, FREE platform that could be used by the typical household on a weekly basis. This is how I came about the concept for rList.com, short for Recommended List."
