Global Aerial Imaging Market Is Expected To Reach USD 2.24 Billion By 2020 : Radiant Insights
San Francisco, Oct. 5, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The global aerial imaging market is expected to reach USD 2.24 billion by 2020. Growing demand in emerging application areas including natural resources management, energy, and disaster prevention is expected to drive the market over the next six years. Increased need for geospatial information and imagery data is also expected to fuel demand over the forecast period.
Browse full research report with TOC on "Aerial Imaging Market Analysis By Application (Government, Military & Defense, Energy, Agriculture & Forestry, Civil Engineering, Commercial, Insurance) And Segment Forecasts To 2020" at: http://www.radiantinsights.com/research/aerial-imaging-market-analysis-by-application-government-military-amp-defense-energy-agriculture-amp-forestry-civil-engineering-commercial-insurance-and-segment-forecasts-to-2020
Adoption of location-based services (LBS) for navigation, remote monitoring, navigation and mobile advertizing is expected to give impetus to the aerial imaging market. Adverse weather conditions and related environmental factors may prevent accurate imaging data collection. Security and privacy concerns among users are also expected to hamper market growth over the next six years.
Further key findings from the study suggest:
- Commercial applications are expected to witness high growth over the forecast period; they accounted for over 15% of the market in 2013. This can primarily be attributed to high adoption by the tourism industry. Planning 3D or 2D seismic surveys for alleviating safety and environment risks is expected to favorably impact the energy segment.
- Aerial construction progress images are used by architects and engineers for infrastructure development activities. Deploying aerial drones in place of manned helicopters for reducing overall cost is expected to be a key growth opportunity. The agriculture sector benefits from this technology through application in drainage planning and farmland management.
- North America accounted for majority of the global market share in 2013. High demand from the agriculture and forestry segment is expected to be the chief growth driver for the regional market. Demand from government agencies employing this technology for research purposes is also expected to fuel the market over the next six years. High demand across application areas is estimated to propel the Asia Pacific aerial imaging market.
- Companies operating in the aerial imaging market may have in-house systems and platforms; alternatively, they may also procure these from suppliers. Continued investments in R&D and technological innovation have been the key strategic initiatives undertaken by major industry participants. Key market players include Blom ASA, Fugro EarthData, Google Inc, Pictometry International, GeoVantage, Inc., Kucera International, Digital Aerial Solutions, Ofek Aerial Photography, Eagle View Technologies, etc.

RegEd Announces Smart Appointment Processing Technology for its Xchange Enterprise Solution
Raleigh, NC, Oct. 2, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- RegEd, the leading provider of Licensing and Registration technology solutions to the financial services industry, has announced the addition of Smart Appointments to Xchange, its Enterprise Licensing and Registration solution. The new capability will significantly streamline and automate the management of producer appointments for insurers.
Today many firms employ a manual process for identifying needed producer appointment transactions. When new or changed license information is entered into carrier databases, the typical process relies on a manual check against the firm's internal business rules, often captured in a spreadsheet, to identify the required appointment transactions. Transactions are manually initiated and submitted for state approval. To complete the appointment cycle, submitted transactions must then be manually updated in the firm's database to indicate the new appointment upon notification of state acceptance.
Using a manual process firms are challenged to keep appointment business rules up to date, often resulting in inaccurate information and processing inefficiencies, and increasing the rejection rate by state filing offices. Delays in appointment processing can negatively impact producer time to market, resulting in lost revenue and producer dissatisfaction.
Kristy Locklear, SVP and Xchange Product Manager, stated, "Failure to manage the appointment cycle effectively can lead to inefficient use of time and resources. With Xchange Smart Appointment automation, firms can focus on managing exceptions, lower their rejection rate, eliminate processing redundancies and avoid costly and unnecessary appointment fees."
Smart Appointments enables straight-through appointment processing based on the firm's unique business rules. When license information is added or updated in the Xchange database, Smart Appointments automatically compares the producer's data against the firm's business rules and generates and submits the required appointment transactions to the state filing office. Upon state acceptance of the transaction, the Xchange database is automatically updated to indicate the new appointments.
End-to-end automation of the appointment lifecycle supports high acceptance rates, reduces time to market and enables valuable licensing operations to focus on exception transactions and spend less time overseeing and managing the process.
About RegEd
RegEd is a leading provider of compliance technology solutions with relationships with more than 400 enterprise clients, including 80% of the top 25 broker-dealers and top 25 insurance companies.

MyLife.com Touts Position as Leading People Review, Reputation Management Site
Los Angeles, California, Oct. 1, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LOS ANGELES, Oct. 1, 2015--MyLife.com, the Internet's original people review and reputation management site, has taken the controversial "Yelp for people" trend one step further by creating more than 225 million searchable personal webpages for every adult American. The site even has pages for Julia Cordray and Nicole McCullough, founders of Peeple, a soon-to-launch app following MyLife's platform for leaving personal, professional, and even romantic reviews for other people.
"Peeple is being trashed as the 'Yelp for people' for reducing personal opinions to a simple reviews app. MyLife has been offering not only a personal reviews platform, but features that allow individuals to cultivate a more accurate and positive online reputation," said Jeff Tinsley, founder of MyLife.com, a website with 6 million unique monthly visitors. "In its launch six months ago, MyLife pioneered the concept of categorized reviews for people. However, that was only one feature in a series of many designed to help members protect, shape, and monitor their online reputations."
In addition to providing millions of Americans with personal, professional, and intimate feedback via its categorized review platform, MyLife.com is also providing individuals the ability to:
- View, monitor, and control all personal information being exposed around the web
- Read/post personal, professional, and romantic reviews
- Remove private information from other sites
- Discover who is accessing their information and/or searching their name
- Claim and manage their personal MyLife webpage
"Whereas Peeple seems to position its subjects as powerless victims of their reviews, MyLife.com is focused on empowering its members," says Tinsley. "The entire purpose of MyLife.com is to give individuals a voice and help them take control of their online reputations, not succumb to them."
In just three months, MyLife.com has seen its numbers grow from 4.7 million unique visitors to nearly 6 million in September.

TargetX Builds College Application Process Students Really Want
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 1, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TargetX showcases the first online application designed for students during the National Association for College Admission Counseling (NACAC) conference, October 1-3 in San Diego, CA.
TargetX's new student-centric Online Application is the first of its kind and the latest product released in the Recruitment CRM, the most comprehensive and compelling suite of recruitment solutions available in higher ed. Unlike most mobile applications framed around outdated paper models, TargetX's Online Application appeals to the growing number of students who use their phones to apply to college.
"Students are no longer linear," points out April Welch, Associate Vice President for Strategic Initiatives at Illinois Institute of Technology. "Other applications assume that a student is going to start the application, sit there and complete it. The TargetX application gives students the opportunity to jump around to the sections they want to. It gives them a great visual displaying the estimated time remaining to finish the application. Really, it is more geared towards the way students actually complete applications. Given the fact that they are applying to multiple places it is important to have a professional interface that gives our applicants a fast and smooth experience."
A Comprehensive Recruitment Suite of Solutions
In addition to the new Online Application, decision and scoring tools facilitate a paperless application review process, while student-yield tools like Schools App and UChat provide meaningful socio-behavioral data and communications opportunities. Every component of the CRM is backed by complete implementation services, training and an experienced support team for colleges to be successful.
"At TargetX, we've reimagined the entire recruitment process to better serve the needs of both students and admissions professionals," says CEO of TargetX, Sasha Peterson. "We invite admissions professionals to come see for themselves at the NACAC Conference in San Diego. They'll see how simple it is to build customized applications that attract students. They'll also witness the countless ways that applicants--who crave organization and guidance in their application experience--drove our product development process."
Visit TargetX at NACAC
Experience the ease and functionality of TargetX's new Online Application. Build your own application, review the backend functionality, and then explore the other modules of the recruitment suite -- from the iPad and web-based application review solution to the fully integrated engagement and yield tools.

SYNNEX Solves Customer Bid Management Issues With New Bid Portal in ECExpress
GREENVILLE, S.C., Oct. 1, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SYNNEX Inspire North American Conference -- SYNNEX Corporation (NYSE:SNX), a leading technology solutions company, is launching its new Bid Portal feature in ECExpress 7, the company's eCommerce tool. Bid Portal was created to harness the volume of bids resellers have to manage, making it easier for them to have visibility to the opportunities available to them so they do not miss a chance to respond to their customers and close deals.
What once was a manual follow-up process with multiple emails and phone calls is now managed through a single pane of glass. Bid Portal displays the list of manufacturers with which the reseller has bids in progress for their customers with the parts, pricing, and bid start and end dates. If the bid has expired, it no longer shows up in their queue. All resellers can view what bids are available and open to them, and then can place orders off those bids.
"SYNNEX enhanced its new ECExpress 7 online ordering tool so our customers can view and act on all their outstanding bid opportunities," said Peter Larocque, President, North American Technology Solutions, SYNNEX Corporation. "Our new Bid Portal gives them one-click access to their vendor and end-customer bid information, so they can pursue and close those bids much faster."
"Our customers are under a lot of pressure and are asked to do more with less. Bid Portal is a useful resource that can help my internal sales team be more efficient to respond quickly to our customers, which translates into increased productivity on both sides of the equation. For us, we spend less time chasing bids, and our customers get what they need in a timely fashion. It's a win-win," said Jim McArdle, President, North Shore Computer, Inc.
The Bid Portal release comes a few months after the launch of the newly enhanced, intuitively designed ECExpress 7 platform, which allows customers to check SYNNEX inventory and prices with a single click; confirm order status, product availability and shipping warehouse; access CLOUDSolv, RENEWSolv and SERVICESolv platforms; and manage vendor product promotions and multiple incentive programs from one location through PROMOCentral."
SYNNEX customers will have access to Bid Portal through ECExpress 7 in mid-October 2015.
