Multi-cloud commitments will become the new normal
“With many companies making investments in public and private cloud services, 2017 will see more businesses committing to multiple cloud providers at the same time,” Lakshman predicts. “For example: there will be fewer and fewer Amazon Web Services-only businesses; rather dual-source public cloud services will be used instead to avoid vendor lock-in. The challenge will come in making data services easy and productive across multiple clouds. Without this function, enterprise deployments will be as inefficient as they were when they were using tape.”

As Software as a Service (SaaS) provider, BOLT clearly understood the benefits of the cloud. The need to quickly and efficiently deploy a multichannel solution without wasting too much time and resources was also a key success factor to launching new business units such as the BOLT Agency services. The Solution:  BOLT selected LiveOps cloud contact center solution to power their distributed workforce, and take advantage of LiveOps simple and fast deployment for instant contact center ignition.  

One of the key factors that won over BOLT was the breadth and depth of LiveOps platform features and functionality, and its integration capabilities. LiveOps Cloud Contact Center integrated multichannel capabilities, with inbound and outbound voice, chat, email, and social media enabled BOLT agents to deliver a true Omnichannel experience that won the company top industry recognition.

BOLT further enhanced their customer experience with LiveOps advanced routing and queuing capabilities including in-queue callback option that provides callers the flexibility to receive a callback without wasting much time on hold. And with post-call survey integrated in every inbound and outbound call, BOLT has been able to continuously keep a pulse on their customer satisfaction score to stay on top of their game. “The post call survey with 100% recording capability from LiveOps allows us to always audit our NPS and improve our quality scores,” said Tom Hammond, Executive Vice President at BOLT.

While the distributed workforce was a major requirement for BOLT customer service, managing these resources remotely was a key success factor. LiveOps Quality Monitoring capability, along with real-time reporting, help BOLT insurance manage their agents’ performance on every customer call or interaction. Furthermore, the tight integration, through LiveOps extensive APIs capabilities, between BOLT insurance platform and LiveOps provided key customer information and online transactions history to improve agent’s productivity while delivering personalized customer experience.  

Finally, LiveOps industry proven platform with its highest reliability and stringent security was a huge attraction for BOLT.  As a financial institution processing many customer confidential information, BOLT had very strict security requirements that could only be met by LiveOps Cloud Contact Center.   With top industry certification such as PCI, SAS70, and SOX, the LiveOps platform gave BOLT a big peace of mind.

The Results: Since adopting LiveOps Cloud Contact Center, BOLT has been able to deploy several customer service centers in three different states in a matter of months, which had significant impact on their business growth and revenue generation.   The LiveOps platform helps us get in touch with our growing number of customers everyday to deliver outstanding service,” said Tom Hammond, Executive Vice President at BOLT.  In addition, the key features of LiveOps platform with post-call survey and in-queue callback enabled BOLT to achieve Net Promoter Scores (NPS) of 88% and frog leap the competitions with outstanding customer experience.

On September 20, 2016, GovDelivery, which was included in our vertical cloud segment, executed a definitive merger agreement providing for a sale of the company to an affiliate of Vista Equity Partners for $153.0 million in cash, subject to certain adjustments for working capital, cash, debt and other items. Upon the consummation of the transaction, which occurred on October 18, 2016, Actua realized approximately $133.0 million in cash. Actua has received approximately $123.0 million of cash and approximately $10.0 million of Actua's proceeds are being held in escrow and are subject to potential indemnification claims.  Actua does not expect to owe any non-reimbursable income taxes in connection with the transaction. No gain or loss on the sale of GovDelivery has been recognized as of September 30, 2016.  

dürfte dieser Thread m.E. aber nicht aus dem Rahmen fallen, sondern eher noch über dem Durchschnitt liegen.

Now let me walk through the GovDelivery transaction from a finance perspective. The $133 million we received brings our total liquidity post closing to over $170 million. We will report a gain of approximately $122 million in the fourth quarter of 2016, and an additional gain to the extent we receive the $10 million held in escrow. We will not owe federal income taxes in conjunction with this transaction as we were able to fully offset the gain with our capital loss carry-forward and any state tax owed will be borne by the buyer in addition to the $133 million of consideration.
Now just to give some further color, absent our capital loss carry-forward in NOLs we could've had to pay over $40 million in cash, federal income taxes as a result of this transaction.
After the GovDelivery sale, we have approximately $345 million of NOLs still available, including

Is Human-Robo ‘Hybrid’ Advisory the Best Way to Manage Finances?

SEPTEMBER 6, 2016 BY GRACE NOTO

Roboadvisors are hot in financial and wealth management at the moment, despite the fact that “roboadvisor” can essentially refer to any online service that generates automated
investment advice. The current debate in fintech is over their use more than their classification; specifically, people are questioning whether they should be used at all, because, well, humans kind of need jobs.

But compromise here might be key, combining the ability of a “robo” to consolidate data from multiple accounts with the human skill to tailor that data to each customer’s unique needs. MyVest CEO Anton Honikman argues that this approach will offer the best results for wealth management clients

White-label technology all managed by sub-advisor FolioDynamix.

To make small advisory accounts cost-efficient, Voya uses white-label technology

By Editorial Staff   Thu, Jun 02, 2016

“We’ve been watching assets migrate to the mutual fund complexes and away from our broker dealer. We wanted to create a product to help capture those accounts,” Voya's Andre Robinson told RIJ.

To serve small accounts more cost-efficiently, Voya Financial Advisors is partnering with FolioDynamix, which markets a white-label unified wealth management platform.
The new service, part of Voya Financial Advisors, will be called Voya Wealth Portfolios. As Voya transitions small-balance clients from commission-based accounts to fee-based accounts, the company will be able to offer them an automated unified managed account option.  
 
"We designed a solution that allows us to move commission-based accounts into advisory accounts with comparable funds,” said Andre Robinson, head of advisory services at Voya Financial Advisors, in a release. According to Voya, its advisory business grew 30% in 2015.

wenn man offensiv bilanziert, was Acuta nicht tut, mit dem Gewinnsteuersatz auf der Aktivseite der Bilanz als Asset einstellen, wenn davon auszugehen ist, dass Gewinne in dieser Höhe anfallen - was bei Actua der Fall ist, schon allein, wenn man an die kommende Monetarisierung von Velocity EHS denkt.

Beim momentanen US-Gewinnsteuersatz von 35% wären das immerhin 120 Millionen - selbst wenn man hier unter Trump auf ca. 20% runtergeht, immerhin noch 70 Millionen.
