Inalign launched a newly designed site to co-ordinate with its Spring 2007 sales campaign. “Our new design has a more “Web 2.0” look and feel, inspired by popular sites like youtube.com and digg.com,” says President Gregg Crystal. “We’re going to use our web presence more to interact with our present as well as future customers. Soon we’ll be adding a company blog featuring tech reviews and advice.”

Inalign Director of Business Development, Marc Scmidt, was honored with the 2007 Sales and Marketing Excellence Award at a ceremony at the OnCenter in Syracuse, New York on March 7, 2007. Over the coming year Schmidt plans to expand East Coast development for Inalign. September 2006 marked the one year anniversary of Inalign’s Atlanta, Georgia office which Schmidt was responsible for establishing.

The PRS Group, founded in 1979 and headquartered in East Syracuse, New York provides country risk analysis to businesses, governments, and universities in over 100 countries. The firm’s internet presence grew from one website into four separate sites during the past thirteen years.

Director of Software Engineering, Doug Hill and the Inalign Development team worked closely with PRS staff as Inalign merged their four existing sites into one comprehensive site that included shopping cart and content management functionality. Incorporating the individual sites became more challenging due to the fact that not only is PRS’s content available either by yearly subscriptions or on a per-purchase basis, but also the content itself is delivered in several different formats: PDF and HTML files, Excel spreadsheets, online tables as well as on books and CDs.

Other features include the CountryData Wizard which allows customers to compile data reports for many risk variables and select those variables country-by-country and month-by-month back to 1984. A host of free data is also offered including Country Fact Sheets and “Dynamic Data” updated each month. The site boasts a new logo created by Inalign’s in-house graphic designer, Joanne Capella.

According to a statement on the PRS Group website, “Producing this complex new site would not have been possible without the technical expertise of Inalign, Inc. After having worked with web developers from Africa to London to Indiana, PRS was especially pleased to find such a highly qualified website developer located near their offices.”

State Senator Jeff Brown and Onondaga County Legislator Kathy Rapp were among the more than fifty guests attending Inalign, Inc.’s ribbon cutting ceremony and open house on November 30, 2006. The Syracuse Chamber of Commerce representatives were also on hand to celebrate and to present Inalign with a 2006 Economic Champions of Central New York Award.

The event marks Inalign’s 2006 expansion into larger adjacent offices in the historic State Tower Building in downtown Syracuse, NY. The firm has been located there since 2003 when the company consisted of President, Gregg Crystal and Director of Emerging Technologies, Ben C. Wilcox. Now Inalign has a total of sixteen employees both here and at their Atlanta office, opened in September 2006 by Director of Sales Development, Marc Schmidt.

Atlanta, Georgia business leaders Elizabeth Gordon, President of The Flourishing Business, and Pierre Levy, President of Levy and Associates were the guest speakers at Inalign’s first Technology and Manufacturing Breakfast Seminar held at Hampton Inn Perimeter Center, Atlanta on November 20, 2006. Ms. Gordon’s presentation covered marketing plan strategy targeted to small business owners in the technology field. Mr. Levy discussed the role of web ergonomics in the productive office environment. Inalign’s Director of Marketing, Marc Schmidt’s presentation, “Managing the Shop Floor” illustrated the use of technology to keep manufacturers competitive with overseas competition. More tecnology and mnaufacturing seminars will be announced for 2007.
