			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A few days ago, Apple posted a <a href="http://www.apple.com/iphone/business/profiles/logica/" target="_blank">fantastic article</a> on how global consulting firm, Logica, is transforming not only their business, but their clients&#8217; businesses as well using the iPhone. In the article, Logica Germany CEO Torsten Strass said:</p>
<p>&#8220;iPhone is revolutionizing our business segment. We use iPhone within the company to cut costs and increase productivity. Now our customers are asking us how they can do the same thing with iPhone.&#8221;</p>
<p>Jens Lünstedt, Head of iPhone Development for Logica, added:</p>
<p>&#8220;The SDK development environment for iPhone has all the elements necessary for a mature application. I can combine them relatively quickly into an attractive, well-functioning application&#8230; iPhone embodies innovation. It is playing a definitive role in changing the business world, because it offers opportunities that were not previously available. To be more competitive and efficient, businesses can choose from any of the iPhone apps in the App Store, or we can write a custom application for them. No other device is capable of covering business needs in quite this manner.&#8221;</p>
<p>At Netphase, we share Logica&#8217;s vision for the application of iPhone technology to the needs of an agile business. In order to insure maximum productivity and effectiveness for an organization in these mobile times, team members should be able to access critical systems on the go, complete sales without having to find a wi-fi connection for their laptop, and also communicate with customers with up-to-date data in real time. The technology is there, and the solutions pay for themselves in very short order.</p>
<p>Could your company benefit from extending its back-office reach to the most exciting mobile platform on the planet? Could your sales team benefit from getting orders into your system more quickly and efficiently than ever before, allowing them to focus on closing deals rather than filing paperwork? Do you need to keep track of reports and other critical business data in real time while away from the office? If so, <a href="http://www.netphase.com/contact_us">contact us today</a>. We will start off by scheduling some time to talk to you about your processes first. Only after we understand your business will we offer suggestions on how your workflow may be improved by the addition of a mobile app.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Earlier today, Netphase launched its first in what is expected to be a long line of web applications based on its new virtual mall engine, WeSell.  WeSell aims to conquer some of the problems typically associated with selling from multiple vendors in a shopping cart-based system, utilizing only one checkout.</p>
<p>The technology behind it is really quite remarkable. Netphase&#8217;s proprietary solution takes into account the available inventory of the seller, who typically will be an average user with products in their possession that they wish to resell. It prevents shopping cart conflicts, yet also considers how long a prospective buyer is allowed to keep an item in his cart before the item is returned back to the active inventory for others to purchase. Bottom line is that it strives to strike the difficult balance of allowing a seller to have inventory tied up by only those wanting to purchase, and also of allowing a buyer with an item in her cart to shop with confidence, knowing that when she checks out, the item is in fact hers.</p>
<p>Other features of WeSell protect both the buyer and seller by way of a built-in transaction escrow system. It is fully secure, deployed in the infinitely scalable Amazon EC2 Cloud, and of course, it runs on Ruby on Rails.</p>
<h3>About Homeschool Apple</h3>
<p>The <a href="http://homeschoolapple.com">Homeschool Apple</a> mission is to be an oasis for homeschoolers on the internet. HSA seeks to provide a one-stop place where homeschoolers can sell their used, new, self-published or downloadable curriculum, connect with others, and share their talents with the world. While far from complete, Homeschool Apple is well on its way, with the most unique homeschool store on the Web and a rock-solid platform on which to build. The site is currently in public Beta, and homeschoolers are encouraged to sign up for their FREE account now. Pass the word to your friends, won&#8217;t you?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Netphase, Charlotte&#8217;s leading Ruby on Rails consulting firm, is now a top-tier sponsor for <a href="http://barcampcharlotte.com/">BarCamp Charlotte</a>. We are very excited to help promote this incredible event, which will be held on January 24th, 2009 in Charlotte, NC.</p>
<p>In addition to sponsoring the inaugural event, Netphase intends to participate fully by both attending and presenting at BarCamp Charlotte.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t know what a BarCamp is?  The following is from the BarCamp Charlotte website:</p>
<p>BarCamp is an ad-hoc gathering born from the desire for people to share and learn in an open environment. It is an intense event with discussions, demos and interaction from participants.</p>
<p>BarCamp is defined by Wikipedia as follows:</p>
<blockquote><p>“…an international network of user generated conferences — open, participatory workshop-events, whose content is provided by participants — often focusing on early-stage web applications, and related open source technologies, social protocols, and open data formats.”</p></blockquote>
<p>For more info, visit <a href="http://barcamp.org/">BarCamp.org</a>, or check out some photos from <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tags/barcamp/clusters/">BarCamps around the world on Flickr</a>.</p>
