The New York Times launched today a new business section on its Web site (www.nytimes.com), designed to be a major destination for readers seeking the latest business and technology news. /> Business Day online (www.nytimes.com/businessday) has been conceived as a business home page, with a design that emphasizes the latest developments and freshest insights throughout the day. The Latest News module at the top of the page pushes a constantly updated feed of business news from The Times and other sources to the user’s screen. Another section of the page, “Insight & Analysis” highlights the unique perspective of Times reporters and columnists, including blog posts, updated throughout the day. A redesign of the Markets module surfaces more markets data on the page, and the site’s award-winning multimedia packages are featured prominently.

“The upshot of these changes and the newly relaunched Business Day section front is to provide our readers with all the news, analysis, commentary and business tools they need in one place – on NYTimes.com,” said Lawrence Ingrassia, business editor, The New York Times.

For advertisers, new ad opportunities have been added to the page, capitalizing on the fact that The New York Times is not only a major provider of business news for readers, but an innovative environment for advertisers, providing a high-quality audience.

Since the expansion of the Business and Technology section began in 2008, NYTimes.com has launched new subsections on the Economy and Energy and the Environment, and has enhanced the Small Business, Technology, Personal Technology, Your Money and Markets subsections. The Times has also hired more Web journalists, expanded its popular Bits blog and DealBook, and introduced seven new business and technology blogs.

Over the past two years, these improvements, along with exceptional coverage from well-known Times columnists such as David Carr, David Leonhardt, Ron Lieber, Gretchen Morgenson, Joe Nocera, Floyd Norris, David Pogue and Andrew Ross Sorkin, have resulted in a significant increase in traffic to the section. The Times’s business coverage has won a number of prestigious awards including two Webby Awards, 11 awards from the Society of American Business Editors and Writers (SABEW) in 2009 and 13 more in 2010. In addition The Times was awarded three Loeb Awards and Mr. Ingrassia was named Editor of the Year at last year’s Loeb Awards.

Agile business consulting firm, Bluewolf (http://www.bluewolf.com) today marks a decade of success in Cloud Computing with more than 3,000 clients and 40 percent year over year revenue growth, since its founding.

Success was hardly assured when co-founders Michael Kirven and Eric Berridge launched Bluewolf in 2000, during the dot.com meltdown. Early on, it recognized and adopted Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), Cloud Computing and agile development methods that focus on business results, and delivered them at a fraction of the time and cost of traditional, on-premise software. Bluewolf is the first consulting firm that is proving success in how services are delivered in an on-demand world.

According to cofounder Eric Berridge, Bluewolf’s success is due to our focus on enabling businesses to take advantage of one of the biggest trends of the decade -Cloud Computing. Bluewolf is uniquely positioned for continued growth and success over traditional consulting firms like Accenture and Deloitte, due to our proven, proprietary Agile Business Transformation platform and our 10 years of success in helping clients achieve results with the next wave of computing.

The trend toward Cloud Computing, or Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), has accelerated during the last few years and is predicted to continue major growth, as adoption continues to grow and evolve within the enterprise application markets — markets where Bluewolf has demonstrated success. “The worldwide cloud services market is expected to reach $150.1 billion in 2013,” according to Gartner, Inc (Gartner press release ,”Gartner Says Worldwide Cloud Services Will Grow 21.3% in 2009,” March 26, 2009.)

Because of their forward-thinking and agile approach, Bluewolf is a top consultant to partner with for Cloud Computing initiatives because of their proven ability to implement Cloud solutions in record time, while helping organizations transform their businesses by leveraging technology. Congratulations on a decade of success!”
Joe Harris, director of IT, Beazer Homes, “Our experience with Bluewolf has been remarkable. Bluewolf was the best fit for our organization during our initial interview. By teaming with Bluewolf through the process of discovery, design, development and deployment, we were able to innovate in ways we could never have done alone.”

CA, Inc. have announced the first* ever neurological study of consumer reactions to a poor online experience.

Results from the study prove that many consumers experience ‘Web Stress’ when trying to make an online purchase. Brain wave analysis from the experiment revealed that participants had to concentrate up to 50% more when using badly performing websites, while facial muscle and behavioural analysis of the subjects also revealed greater agitation and stress in these periods.

In order to retain customers, attract new ones and prosper during the economic recovery, CA is calling for European businesses to focus on giving their customers the best possible online experience.

“It’s not just about website design or internet connection speeds – the performance of a website is dependent on the performance of the web applications that support it. Businesses need an Application Performance Management (APM) solution which not only provides real insight into how customers are experiencing their web applications,” said Kobi Korsah, Director, EMEA Product Marketing at CA.”

CA partnered with Foviance – a leading customer experience consultancy – to explore ‘web stress’ in relation to application performance, and its impact on consumer behaviour and buying habits.

Catriona Campbell, leading behavioural psychologist, Director and Founder of Foviance, said: “Consumers have high expectations of web applications and web sites – to be always available and instantly responsive. This experiment simulated the experience of underperforming web applications for our volunteers. The results show that when online expectations aren’t met, people quickly become agitated, confused and have to concentrate 50% more than normal. All these problems can be detected and prevented as long as businesses take a proactive approach to measuring the customer’s experience of web applications.”
