Holland, Michigan (PRWEB) June 11, 2012

NET(net), Inc., a leading global provider of comprehensive IT Investment Optimization Services, announced today it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire The Copperwood Group. The US-based Copperwood Group specializes in Executive IT Advisory Services for health systems, hospitals, providers and payers.

NET(net) will merge the services of the Copperwood Group into its NET(net) Healthcare division under the leadership of Matt Hartzman, Executive Vice-President. Key Copperwood Group Principals, Hal Fontinelle and John Barr, will join NET(net) as Senior Vice Presidents of Value Creation and Value Delivery for healthcare respectively.

The Copperwood Group acquisition adds considerable experience, while enhancing NET(net) Healthcares scope of services. The Copperwood Group has been delivering Executive IT Advisory Services to healthcare organizations since 2003, helping clients navigate the growing complexity of IT supplier relationships. These services have included technology assessments, solution design and implementation, contracting assistance, supplier management and governance, service level agreement development and management, and interim IT management.

Because of the way healthcare organizations plan for, deploy, and consume information technologies, they are particularly susceptible to sub-optimization, says NET(net) CEO Steven C. Zolman. Healthcare is at the top of industries that significantly overpay for IT. NET(net) has a long track record of success in helping clients significantly lower costs, improving the value of their technology investments. With the acquisition of the Copperwood Group, we are acquiring nearly a century of experience that has been exclusively focused on the healthcare industry, and an organization committed to serving the unique and demanding needs of healthcare clients for nearly a decade.

Copperwood Group co-founder and Principal and NET(net) Healthcare SVP of Healthcare Value Creation, Hal Fontinelle, says, Having been involved in the healthcare IT business for over 4 decades I have always felt that many healthcare organizations struggle with procurement of technology and related services. When I co-founded The Copperwood Group I wanted to create leverage for healthcare organizations in their procurement and negotiation of technical services and products and we were highly successful. NET(net) shares this core belief and brings a wealth of experience from other market sectors that will advantage healthcare IT buyers. I believe that that combined solution we are offering in NET(net) Healthcare can and will have a dramatic impact on optimizing health IT related expenditures by leveraging our collective strengths and experience.

Boston, MA (PRWEB) June 12, 2012

Extraprise, the leader in right time revenue optimization services for B2B and B2C enterprises, released Big Data for Marketers: The Big Elephant in Marketing, a white paper designed to help marketers harness Big Data to create customer intelligence and drive multi-channel marketing.

The webinar will take place on June 13th at 11:00 AM EST and is offered at no cost. To attend, please register here.

In Big Data for Marketers: The Big Elephant in Marketing, Extraprise sheds light on how Big Data represents a tremendous revenue opportunity, although it is one that marketers often miss due to the inability to create a complete customer profile that includes mobile and social media brand conversations to drive multi-channel marketing and revenue performance.

In order to drive revenue from multiple and across channels through real-time customer interactions, the collection of Big Data must be transformed into customer intelligence that effectively delivers an optimized message at the right place and time. To drive this behavior, Extraprise references its experience in handling tens of millions of customer interactions and outlines a step-by-step guide on how to effectively harness Big Data to meet and exceed revenue goals:


Use all forms of customer engagement
Make customer intelligence strategic
Transform Big Data
Manage data as part of the strategy
Implement a true closed loop sales and marketing system

As a result, sophisticated segmentation and profiling can be applied to every stage of the customer life cycle. A multi-channel marketing campaign will then optimize revenue performance at the right time with the right offer to the right customer.

Extraprise is the leader in right time revenue optimization services for B2B and B2C enterprises, creating customer intelligence and using it to drive multi-channel marketing campaigns at the right time and in the right places throughout the customer lifecycle.
