The professionals at Briggs Buick GMC - the leading GMC dealer in Manhattan, KS - are excited about the new navigation system in the Terrain. GMC is already known as a leader when it comes to vehicle technology for the 21st century, but their latest navigation additions make a great system even better.

Offering a full range of functions including maps, directions, music, hands-free phone, and three months of SiriusXM NavTraffic and local forecast, the new Terrains Color Touch Navigation System also comes with a new Color Touch Radio System.

The system will also have onboard navigation capabilities, including a secure digital card-based map database that can be updated, many different map views and a multitude of input methods to enter the destination.

Terrains Color Touch Navigation System is practical, purposeful technology with a high-tech look and feel at an economical price point compared to competing systems, said Dave Bojanowski, GM navigation systems engineer.

Anyone familiar with smartphones or tablet computers will find its 7-inch color touch-screen and large app icons intuitive and easy to use.

Lendio Announces New Podcast that Feeds the Entrepreneur Addiction

Salt Lake City, UT (PRWEB) August 29, 2011

Lendio broadcasts its first podcast today titled Entrepreneur Addiction, which focuses on helping small business owners secure more capital.

Listeners can tune in to the weekly podcast every Monday on the Lendio blog.

Many of the countrys economic problems could be solved if more small businesses have access to the right capital, said Brock Blake, Lendio CEO. Well be diving deep into business financing that will help people understand their many options, and how they can secure badly needed funding through banks, credit unions, investors and other alternative lenders.

At a recent conference in Buffalo, New York, Robert G. Wilmers, M&T Bank Chairman and CEO, echoed Blakes statements.

Helping small-business owners receive the capital they need to open their doors, build inventory and hire workers is how banks and the SBA can come together to solve the most important economic challenge of the day, Wilmers said.

Patrick Wiscombe, owner of the Patrick Wiscombe.com Podcast Network, will host the show. It will feature Blake and interviews of many well-known entrepreneur personalities. The podcast will focus on how business owners can overcome the challenges they face on a daily basis. Much of which will provide the steps to take and the ways to prepare to obtain funding.

A lot of times, those challenges are surrounded around capital to start or grow a business, Blake said. There are thousands of lenders out there, each with a different loan product and different set of qualifications. Our goal for this podcast is to create a personal message for each listener to become educated on how to get capital to run your business, hire employees, buy equipment or expand inventory.

"I think people should listen to a podcast about money so they can make smarter financial decisions, Wiscombe said. I think they would be genuinely surprised at the number of financial tools available to them if they just listen."

In the end, the podcast is not just about money. Its about fixing the economy by giving small business owners the information they need to grow in todays economic world.

At the end of the day, if you talk about the economy and jobs, its small business loans that really drives this economy. So we have to make it easier for banks to do loans and for borrowers to get loans, Blake said.

About Lendio

Lendio makes small business loans simple by matching qualified small business owners with active banks, credit unions, and other lending sources. Through a proprietary matching technology, Lendio helps business owners identify the type of business loan, and specific lenders that offer the highest probability to prepare for and secure a business loan approval.

Inigral Announces Academic Lifecycle Engagement Platform with Enrollment Management, Admissions Marketing, Student Retention and Alumni Engagement Solutions on Facebook Platform

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) October 28, 2008

Inigral Inc., the emerging leader of application development on the Social Web for higher education, has announced at EDUCAUSE 2008 that its new product "Schools on Facebook" is the first Academic Lifecycle Engagement Platform, a solution for colleges and Universities that includes admissions marketing, enrollment management, student retention and alumni engagement functionality. Today, Inigral also announced, in an accompanying press release, that it is the first service to offer real-time, event-based data integration with PeopleSoft Enterprise Campus Solutions 9.0, the first SIS system to offer event-based data handling according to the IMS Global LIS specification.

Inigral will be at EDUCAUSE as part of the Oracle Exhibit auctioning off three spots in the private beta for Spring 2009, in addition to having a drawing for one free spot with the added value of a carpool application on Facebook donated by Zimride. Chegg, the number one textbook rental site, has also offered to sponsor any school at full cost.

"So many large data systems that Universities use do not actually engage the people the system is for," said Michael Staton, CEO, for Inigral. "With our Academic Lifecycle Engagement Platform, 'Schools on Facebook,' Colleges and Universities now can use Facebook to drive enrollment, retention and alumni engagement by facilitating community interaction around existing data."

Schools are spending four billion dollars a year marketing to students, and most admissions teams are complaining that current efforts are out-of-touch and don't reach so called "digital natives." "Prospective students aren't reading marketing emails any more and the brochures go straight to the recycle bin. Meanwhile, they're on Facebook and institutions want a presence there," Staton said.

Inigral is a pioneer of social web applications for education. Now generating wide interest is their white-label Facebook application, "Schools on Facebook". The Company has attained an impressive list of "firsts" with the social network, including introducing the first Course Management System ("Courses on Facebook") on the Facebook platform. The Company was also one of the first to release License and Support of social web applications on social platforms.
