Prepaid Paves the Way for Payroll

A study of the benefits for employers, employees and issuing partners of using prepaid cards over paper and cash based methods
The VRL report gives an overview of the market's size worldwide, as well as looking forward to future growth prospects
The report finishes with a selection of case studies highlighting the successful implementation of prepaid payroll solutions for different entities in different countriesPrepaid solutions represent one of the most innovative propositions in the payment industry due to their inherent flexibility, convenience and applications across a broad range of industry sectors. It’s no wonder that banks, payment networks and programme managers have devoted such significant resources and investment into promoting their usage, but each industry vertical requires significantly different business models as end-user groups require different needs, and a one-size-fits-all approach will quickly doom some programmes to failure. With a sizable number of the world’s population still unbanked, there are millions of employees and workers around the world who still receive their salaries in cash or cheques, leading to huge administrative burdens for employers and banks, and inconvenience for the employee, along with the added cost of accessing their salaries.

First Responder, Border Patrol, Homeland Security, Law Enforcement, and Security Robots: Market Shares, Strategies, and Forecasts, Worldwide, 2012 to 2018

WinterGreen Research announces that it has published a new study First Responder Type Robots: Market Shares, Strategy, and Forecasts, Worldwide, 2012 to 2018. The 2012 study has 463 pages, 183 tables and figures. Worldwide First Responder Type Robot markets are poised to achieve significant growth as the next generation robots systems provide a way to improve law enforcement services delivery in the communities of the world.

According to Susan Eustis, lead author of the study, "In the new global economy supported by the Internet, communication between countries has become ubiquitous, enterprise teams are comprised of people from many different countries working together to make the enterprise work. In this context the need for homeland security and first responder actions by one country against another country becomes far less necessary. In this context, first responder robots can be deployed situationally to achieve control of those who would disrupt or steal from law abiding citizens."

What is good for a robotic unmanned ground vehicles change the nature of war. They make war more of a police action. Civilian populations become a group that can be protected. War becomes a strategy of looking for the terrorists, of seeking out and stopping terrorist activities.

Civilization does not tolerate bombing or shooting at civilians. Women and children are not worthy targets. Police are looking for terrorists and trying to stop terrorist activities. The terrorists target civilians in order to create terror, but the homeland security and police needs to target terrorists and protect civilians in order to get their job done effectively. Robots help in this task by sending robots instead of Homeland security and police into dangerous places.

Police work robot security systems have an emphasis on causality reduction during security patrols. This aim has resulted in investment in robotics technology because robots save lives. Robotic research is continuing to be a priority for government spending. The homeland security and police first responders have a goal of making ground security patrols operational.

Cable Modem Market Shares, Strategy, and Forecasts, Worldwide, 2012 to 2018

WinterGreen Research announces that it has published a new study Cable Modem: Market Shares, Strategy, and Forecasts, Worldwide, 2012 to 2018. The 2012 study has 455 pages, 138 tables and figures. Worldwide cable markets are poised to achieve significant growth as the next generation cable modem systems provide a way to improve entertainment and healthcare services delivery in the home.
According to Susan Eustis, lead author of the study, "Cable modems bring Internet to the home. They are used by the cable industry to deliver Internet services. They are useful to the cable TV services vendors as a way to provide new types of entertainment and sports oriented services into the home and promise significant growth to the cable industry as bundled video channels continue to have widespread appeal. Next generation cable modem and home IP gateway devices offer significant IP based functionality to the home. Cable modems are useful particularly in the US, with the cable video business model spreading worldwide. Markets are poised for significant growth. Video content is proliferating."

Cable TV services providers offer sports, news, shows, real time entertainment, and music. Videos are mainstream to cable TV offerings in a market environment where video is set to replace data and text in many, many instances. Religion, food, travel, medicine, and weather are specialty TV offerings. Cable TV has them all. The ability to bundle these offerings will not be replaced by single stream offerings. The Internet is good for reruns and user generated content, but the advertising bundle implemented by cable TV has distinct advantages for viewers.

Cable industry interrupt-based advertising is accepted by viewers as a tradeoff to the significantly higher cost of direct purchase, providing a sustainable cable TV industry business model. Cable TV has enormous value because people can watch channels they might not otherwise watch as part of a package.

Bundling works for video content in a way that it does not work for the music industry. People want to create their own music bundles, but video is far more complex. Bundling in the manner the cable TV industry provides is very sophisticated and is not at all analogous to the music industry. What is a good show one year is not good the next. The ability to flip back and forth give people needed ability to change their viewing habits, without lock-in from single download options is of significant value to users.
The aim of a cable TV network has evolved to support delivery of digital video and two-way services such as high speed data, video on demand, and telephony. Worldwide there is a trend for cable operators to increase their investment in their networks.
The cable modem business is driven by industry dynamics related to expansion of information and entertainment services in the home. Trends toward increased delivery of use of wireless devices to access video content and data over the Internet are increasing the use of a variety of digital devices in the home.
Emerging competition between cable operators, telecommunications services providers, and Internet-based services providers represents a major market disruption.

The Internet is the only network protocol going forward. As cable providers build out further high bandwidth video capability, It is going to be building on Internet protocols. The pace of new service introduction continues to increase. The variety of connected consumer devices continues to increase. This change increases the consumption of bandwidth and the demand for cable modem products.

MSOs in the cable industry need to defend against competitive next -generation video services like U-verse and FiOS. They need to make wireless services an integral part of their lineup. The acquisition of content at lower prices is essential. Enterprise customers play a larger role in the cable modem business model. Cable modems are positioned to be part of a profitable and sustainable business opportunity.

Cable operators are demanding advanced network technologies and software solutions. The increase in volume and complexity of the signals transmitted over broadband networks as a result of the migration to an all-digital, on demand network is causing the need for cable operators to deploy new technologies. Transport technologies are based on Internet Protocol.

This allows cable operators to cost effectively deliver video, voice, and data across a common network infrastructure. Cable operators are demanding sophisticated network and service management software applications that minimize operating expenditures needed to support the complexity of two-way broadband communications systems. cable operators are focusing on technologies and products that are flexible, cost effective, compliant with open industry standards, and scalable to meet subscriber growth and effectively deliver reliable, enhanced services.

Consumer Health industry in Colombia

Growth in consumer health remained strong in 2011, just slightly higher than the growth rate seen in 2010. Growth was fuelled by bad weather, but also by the continued growth of the economy and disposable incomes in general. However, contraband sales continued to limit growth. The regulatory agency INVIMA reacted with more inspections of retail outlets and greater communication about which products are not authorised to be sold in Colombia.

Bad weather boosts demand
Global warming and the climate phenomena El Niño and La Niña deteriorated the health of the population. The development of a viral flu accompanied by gastrointestinal complaints repeatedly affected much of the population, increasing their consumption of analgesics, cough, cold and allergy (hay fever) remedies and digestive remedies.

GlaxoSmithKline de Colombia maintains the lead in consumer health
GlaxoSmithKline de Colombia remained the leading company in consumer health in 2011. The brand Dolex achieved the leading position through strong advertising, and its success was also due to having different presentations adapted to different buyers’ financial capacity. Tecnoquímicas remained in second position, but saw strong growth in 2011 as a result of strategies developed specifically to take share from the brands Dolex and Advil. Its strategy was to develop packaging with similar characteristics, with mass media advertising and cheaper prices.

Healthfood shops see an increase in share
Parapharmacies/drugstores is losing share to the growing number of healthfood shops and larger drug shelves in supermarkets. Distribution channels compete with strategies such as customer loyalty through the web, and exclusive benefits for members in stores. Locatel opened 11 new stores in the country, and Farmatodo was one of the most active companies in the network, with 32,000 followers on Twitter.

Treatment Algorithms: Schizophrenia – New antipsychotic launches underwhelm

Psychiatrists estimate that just under half of prevalent schizophrenia cases do not report their symptoms and seek treatment, while one third of patients do not receive an accurate diagnosis. The nature of schizophrenia complicates its presentation, as sufferers may lack the drive or insight into their symptoms needed to seek help.
Abilify (aripiprazole; Bristol-Myers Squibb/Otsuka) is the most commonly used antipsychotic brand for first- and second-line treatment of schizophrenia. In a market where treatment decisions are largely driven by safety profiles, Abilify is crucially associated with lower incidences of common antipsychotic side effects than some of its competitors.
The three latest antipsychotics to reach the market have all experienced very slow uptake and have so far failed to penetrate first-line therapy. Their underwhelming market shares reveal that the US schizophrenia drug market is now saturated with atypical antipsychotics and that the market not very receptive to new, undifferentiated treatments.

Your key questions answered

• How does each drug’s patient share vary by country and line of therapy?
• What can be done to influence the patient pathway to increase market share?
• What is the realistic patient population that a new market entrant can target?
• How have generic antipsychotics affected prescribing behaviors in the seven major markets?
• What proportion of patients experience treatment a complete response with currently available antipsychotics?

Global Satellite Transponder Market

This study focuses on the 292 commercial communications satellites in current operation that have transponders in C-Band, Ku-Band, and Ka-Band. Satellite operators have announced plans to launch more than 90 new satellites over the next five years.  Because the majority of new satellite launches will be to replace retiring satellites, the number of satellites in orbit will only increase slightly over the forecast period of 2011 to 2017.  However, these new satellites have many times more transponders than the satellites they are replacing, so the number of transponders in orbit will nearly triple between 2010 to 2017. The current 292 satellites host 12,014 transponders in C, Ku, and Ka-Bands.

R&D Trends 2012

Mounting pressure to reduce the cost of R&D and boost productivity has resulted in pharma companies undertaking radical strategies as the search for efficiency continues. With the ongoing patent cliff triggering a wave of patent expiries, pharmaceutical R&D is at a turning point.

Features and benefits

• Provides an overview of the key R&D challenges facing pharma today as well as pharma’s solutions to alleviate these pressures.
• Trend analysis of R&D metrics, both industry wide and on a case-by-case basis for key Big Pharma companies.
• Insight into pharma’s R&D externalization strategies, supported by case study analysis.
• Case study analysis comparing and contrasting the performance and clinical pipelines AstraZeneca, Pfizer, Roche, and Sanofi.

Highlights
As a short-term solution to increase profitability, the numerous companies have slashed their budgets, including R&D investment, but in the long term, downsizing may not prove to be sustainable, and as a result companies are placing a greater focus on collaborative R&D.
Externalization has become a core strategy in order to overcome R&D challenges, with companies opting to source their drug candidates via M&A, collaborations, licensing/co-development deals, venture capital investments, and partnerships with universities, spreading the cost and risk of drug development.
Pharma companies have re-evaluated their R&D pipelines in recent years, focusing on high growth, niche areas, while deprioritizing areas with low unmet meet. Consequently, leading pharma companies are focusing on developing candidates for secondary care indications while simultaneously reducing their efforts in primary care diseases.
