GlobalWise Investments, Inc. (GWIV) is Poised to Expand Its Share of the Small and Medium-Sized Enterprise Market

Outdated content management processes can leave businesses at a competitive disadvantage in the lightning-fast pace of the digital age. GlobalWise Investments, via its subsidiary Intellinetics, is a pioneering technology company that designs, implements, and manages industry-leading Enterprise Content Management (ECM) solutions for this age.

With the company’s flagship platform Intellivue, clients can access and manage the contents of virtually anything that can be digitized in their enterprise (scanned documents, spreadsheets, emails, photos, audio files, video tapes) from any device (smartphone, tablet, laptop, personal computer) and from anywhere in the world. By combining automatic content management, superior virtualization, and an open, service-oriented design that uses Web services, Intellivue typifies a revolutionary solution and a new industry benchmark for ECM end-users in the public and private sectors.

GlobalWise’s cutting-edge solutions and open, cloud-based computing software are used by major hardware vendors that appreciate the value of ECM, and the company continues to capture additional customers with constant technological advances like its new IntellivueGX Capture Module.

This software release extends GlobalWise’s reach into the small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) market. The new capabilities are expected to enable more content to be captured faster from the company’s IntelliCloud users, creating more value for the end-user businesses while driving more incremental revenue from the firm’s service delivery. Licensing fees are also more affordable with this feature than with other tools, creating an appealing option for the price-sensitive SME market targeted by most of GlobalWise’s channel partners.

However, GlobalWise is not satisfied with simply being a participant in this fast growing ECM industry, which is expected to exceed $5.7 billion by 2014. To maintain a competitive lead, GlobalWise also offers the most up-to-date and promising data storage solutions to small and mid-sized businesses in order to capture more of the virtually untapped, compliance-heavy markets they operate in.

Victory Energy (VYEY) on Steady Growth Path with Permian Basin Holdings

Independent, growth-oriented oil and gas company Victory Energy is committed to creating long-term shareholder value through increasing oil reserves, lowering costs, boosting production volumes, and shrewdly managing the capital on its balance sheet.

Victory Energy has its geographic focus onshore and its chief emphasis on the Permian Basin of Texas and southeast New Mexico. The company is engaged in growing proved reserves and cash flow through continued development of its existing properties, as well as through the acquisition of new resource properties.

Part of Victory Energy’s business plan is to source new capital to facilitate its continued growth, through ongoing utilization of an established investor pipeline that is available through Aurora Energy Partners and other third-party resources.

Strategically leveraging both its internal capabilities and its strategic industry relationships, Victory Energy pursues the acquisition of non-operated working interest positions in low- to moderate-risk oil and gas prospects. The company’s focus is on oil or liquid-rich gas projects within longer-life reservoirs that provide competitive finding and development (F&D) costs per barrel of oil equivalent (BOE).

In recent company news, Victory Energy announced on Nov. 12, 2013, that it is on pace to double in size for the 2013 fiscal year and to do so again very quickly with its currently held properties in the Permian Basin. Undiscounted proved reserves are expected to surpass $6.6 million for the 2013 reporting period, delivering a substantial impact to the company’s current and future revenue.

VistaGen Therapeutics, Inc. (VSTA) Business Strategy Centers on Cutting-Edge Stem Cell Technology

VistaGen Therapeutics employs the expertise of company co-founder and renowned Canadian stem cell scientist Dr. Gordon Keller, as well as co-founder, president, and chief scientific officer Dr. Ralph Snodgrass.

Human Clinical Trials in a Test Tube™, the company’s human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC) technology platform, was developed using a combination of proprietary and exclusively licensed hPSC technologies, including those originating from two decades of research by Drs. Keller and Snodgrass.

The platform’s underlying technologies enable controlled differentiation of hPSCs into mature human cells specific to VistaGen’s current and potential predictive toxicology, drug metabolism, drug rescue, and regenerative cell therapy programs and commercial programs.

Utilizing these technologies, VistaGen is currently developing CardioSafe 3D™, a novel biological assay system that uses mature human heart cells derived from hPSCs to screen for heart toxicity in connection with the company’s drug rescue activities; LiverSafe 3D™, for predicting liver toxicity and metabolism issues in connection with the company’s drug rescue activities; and AV-101, a novel, orally available prodrug candidate focused on the treatment of neuropathic pain, depression, and potentially other neurological conditions.

VistaGen’s overarching goal is to combine its hPSC technology with medicinal chemistry to generate new, proprietary, chemical variants of small molecule drug candidates that were shelved due to unexpected heart or liver safety concerns.

The company believes its Human Clinical Trials in a Test Tube™ platform enables a more rapid and precise safety profile of drug rescue variants, allowing the company to generate a pipeline of drug rescue variants that it will license or sell to biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies that can further develop the products and bring them to market.

Inuvo, Inc. (INUV) Launches Career-Related Website

Inuvo is expanding its service offerings, which was demonstrated on Wednesday when the company announced that it has launched a new web property at www.careers.alot.com.

ALOT Careers is a content-rich, searchable website that features information about education, jobs, and career planning. It also has a directory where consumers can find information about local educational institutions.

The competitive environment for jobs, combined with the demand for highly skilled resources, has motivated individuals to educate themselves about career opportunities and to enroll in programs that can provide the skills needed to meet that demand. This in turn means more people are spending more time on computers or mobile devices to learn about career-related information. The mobile- and desktop-ready web property complements Inuvo’s existing ALOT desktop applications, which cover health, finance, local interest topics, and more.

Inuvo launched four new revenue producing web properties in 2013 that cater to the interests of ALOT users. This new family of sites is being developed within industry verticals where there is high consumer demand for content. Advertisers, too, have their own demands—the desire to reach customers within this very specific space.

Trey Barrett, Inuvo’s COO commented, “We are very pleased to report that we have launched a new site that specifically caters to individuals interested in expanding their knowledge about careers. The ALOT family of sites and the revenues we receive from them continues to grow. We believe we are well positioned to make additional website and application announcements related to ALOT in 2014.”

Appalachian Mountain Brewery, LLC Acquires North Carolina Natural Energy, Inc. (NCNE), Commences Subsequent Public Trade

Appalachian Mountain Brewery (AMB) today said it has closed its $3.5 million acquisition of North Carolina Natural Energy, a publicly traded Florida corporation. Appalachian Mountain Brewery will continue to trade on the OTCBB exchange under the ticker symbol “NCNE” until its name and symbol change become effective.

In a news release issued this morning, AMB said its entrance into the public markets has created an “overwhelming positive response” from the local community as well as industry professionals.

“Going public is a strategic move for Appalachian Mountain Brewery to enter into a capital raise to facilitate production of locally made North Carolina Hard Cider, continued expansion of its craft beer lines, adding Barrel Aged Sour Beers, and increasing capacity for canning and bottling to meet the growing demand of its award-winning craft beer,” AMB CEO Sean Spiegelman stated.

Shares of AMB will be offered to qualified investors as the company moves forward with the planned expansion adding a second location in Boone, NC. AMB is currently exploring several locations, which will house a live music venue, restaurant, tap room, and full-scale cannery.

The company is also preparing to ramp-up production of its craft beverage line and planned distribution, including restaurants owned and operated by AMB shareholder Chanticleer Holdings (HOTR).

Chanticleer CEO Mike Pruitt embellished on the benefits of becoming a publicly traded company, stating, “Appalachian Mountain Brewery can now take advantage of funding opportunities in the public markets to expand its operation and brand of craft beers. We look forward to seeing AMB grow in a multi-billion dollar market.”

AMB also named Christopher Zieber as head brewer and sustainability coordinator.
