| CyberWeb Innovates the Web for Small Hotel Owners
Thousands of hotel owners and small business owners are not able to use the internet and search engines to their advantage. Most small hotel owners make 10 to 15 % of their revenue as the gross profit after grueling hard-work, taking risks for mortgage payment, handling irate guests and paying franchisee fees. Whereas big travel portals make 10 % just by picking up visitors from Google and send it to the hotels. Expedia gets millions of visitors and generates billions of dollars in revenue without owning a single hotel! There was no way of beating travel portals such as expedia.com until now…Cyberweb Hotels has launched SmartSELL -- a comprehensive all-inclusive travel package that contains website design, hosting, search engine optimization, online reservation panel and Internet brand protection that helps hotel owners to sell more rooms.
Buck passed as mail binned
Web hosting companies are complaining that large numbers of genuine e-mails sent to thousands of small firms are being deleted without trace by an overzealous YahooXtra spam filter. The issue is affecting businesses that have not opted to set up an e-mail account for their website and have instead arranged for their e-mail to be forwarded to a Yahoo- Xtra address. Telecom outsourced its e-mail service to YahooXtra in August. Telecom spokesman Nick Brown denies there are technical problems with the service, and blames web-hosting companies for forwarding mail without filtering it first for spam. Simon McBeth, a spokesman for Domainz, one of the country's largest web hosters, says about 2000 of its customers may have been affected. But he says that because e-mail is being wiped completely, rather than sent to junk mail boxes or bounced back to senders, many businesses may not even know their mail is not being delivered.
CMC’s turnover passes £10m mark
A MONMOUTHSHIRE-based management consultancy set up less than seven years ago has passed the £10m turnover mark as more organisations seek the company's help with major projects and corporate issues. CMC Partnership specialises in helping organisations manage big changes, involving people, technology and processes, as part of strategic improvement programmes. Two years ago CMC Partnership employed 29. A succession of large projects for UK government departments and agencies, plus contracts from blue-chip companies, has boosted CMC's team to more than 100, including associates. The company is now seeking to take on more senior managers as well as expanding its consultancy delivery team. CMC says that as a result of increased demand for its services, driven by the continuing "white hot" pace of change in many organisations – especially those with large workforces – it expects to double its turnover within the next three years, making it one of Wales' fastest- growing companies.
