BlueNorma replied to Alexa Biron's discussion Ringtones"Gotcha. I haven't used a service like that."
Alexa Biron replied to Alexa Biron's discussion Ringtones"Thanks for your reply!
The functionality that we had with the previous company was that users could fill out a form on our site including name and cell phone number. They were then sent a text message which included the ringtone file. This seemed…"
BlueNorma replied to Alexa Biron's discussion Ringtones"Is there some reason you don't want to create the ringtones yourself and just host them? They're small files."
Alexa Biron replied to Lisa Brennecke's discussion Flip Books for PDFs"How is searching handled for these services? We have looked at a few similar products and are still trying to find one where the content is search-friendly. It's one thing to search from the site, but we want the content within to be found…"
Alexa Biron posted a discussionRingtones
Does anyone have a recommendation for a company that provides ringtone downloads? The company we have been using seems to be going out of business and we're looking for a new provider. The company should be focused on B2B sales (a focus on education works too, but just not as likely to find) as opposed to selling ringtones to individual customers. We are looking to create ringtones from approximately 10 MP3s and offer them as downloads to alumni, fans, students, etc.

Alexa Biron replied to Charlie Triplett's discussion Repurposing Magazine Content to the Web"On a related note, the key to tools like zmags.com is to look into whether the pages can be searched for key words and also whether the magazine and its pages/articles can be found in search engines. We looked at a few different companies that…"
Alexa Biron replied to Charlie Triplett's discussion Repurposing Magazine Content to the Web"We follow almost the same process, except right now the magazine site isn't in CMS.

Bradley Livermore replied to Alexa Biron's discussion Should students be able to opt out / unsubscribe?"I dunno, I think e-mail is such a poor method of communication that it should serve as a backup instead of being a primary means of contact. Especially since you deemed these e-mails critical."
Alexa Biron replied to Alexa Biron's discussion Should students be able to opt out / unsubscribe?"@Charlie Triplett - We don't currently have control over the opt-out message being displayed. We are migrating to a new version of CRM, however, that does offer some customization. I'll be able to add an "unsubscribe message" and…"

I've been tasked with finding a software tool that helps manage the onboarding and exit process of new and departing faculty. Ultimately i would like this software to management faculty office interms of when resources can be removed from a particular office and when a new faculty member can be moved in with the necessary resources.
