Veterans Get Boost From Insurance Company to Start to their own Business

2008-12-23T13:23:00.000-08:00

Accredited Surety and Casualty Company partners with HireVeterans.com

by Brian Kilne

Accredited Surety and Casualty Company, Inc. is one of the nation's most respected niche insurance companies. Licensed in all 50 states and the District of Columbia, Accredited specializes in underwriting bail and non-contract commercial surety bonds. Building on their long-standing commitment to members of the military and their families during active duty, Accredited is proud to expand its support to veterans transitioning to civilian life. Accredited's Veterans Program is the first initiative in this industry to help honorably discharged men and women join the ranks of small business owners by launching and managing their own bail bond agencies. Accredited is proud to provide resources, tuition assistance and business tools to help veterans pursue this exciting and rewarding career path. This innovative program is being launched primarily in Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania, but the outreach can be extended to all 50 states, depending on their needs.

Veterans seeking post-military careers have found a natural connection to the bail industry, where they can use valuable skills acquired during their military service — such as leadership, teamwork, discipline and critical thinking. In addition, national studies show that the success rate for entrepreneurs who are veterans is higher than their non-military counterparts.

At Accredited, agents are valued partners. That's not just a slogan ... it's really the core of everything they do. It's the reason why they created exclusive software to streamline their agents’ business operations ... host agent conventions ... and educate legislators about their industry. It's why they are proud of the long-term, productive relationships they established with their loyal agent force.

When Hank Snow began the family's business in 1971, he couldn't have imagined how the company would evolve. Still to this day, the company strives to live up to the gold standard Hank set. At Accredited they;

• Maintain an "A" rating for excellence from A.M. Best.
• Specialize in finding solutions to unusual and difficult bonding requests.
• Lobby legislators for stricter standards and increased safety measures.
• Support and participate in professional organizations throughout the country.

Most importantly, Accredited takes time every day to find ways to do their jobs better, to provide additional support to their many agents and to make our communities stronger. This opportunity is designed to make military veterans business owners and not merely employees.

According to Accredited, agents who have served in the military can often use their disciplined training for the good of the bail bond industry. Here’s what they have to say:

“The bail bond business is one that requires an individual to be self-governing and self-reliant because it isn’t necessarily a 9-to-5 job. The military provided an excellent training ground for this type of work in that you had to be an independent thinker and goal oriented. You have to be objective and tell yourself to do the job in order to be successful in both fields.” — David Valentine

“When I became a bondsman, I took the moral and ethical responsibility that went with the job. The self-discipline and values I learned in the military helped me be successful as a bondsman. Being a bondsman helps me maintain the credibility of the courts while helping crime victims at the same time by ensuring that a defendant shows up for court. Both the military and the bail bond industry allow me to use my leadership qualities.” — Dave Mollison

At Accredited, when they say “Agents are Valued Partners,” they mean it. Highly skilled, trustworthy agents are the driving force behind Accredited. That’s why they go the extra mile to provide the tools and resources that agents need to be successful. From exclusive technology to legislative updates to stable backing, agents affiliated with Accredited have the means not only to do their job — but to do it well.

Jobs Now Available for Military Veterans at Weldmation

Weldmation Allies with HireVeterans.com

By Brian Kilne

Technology Development

As part of Weldmation’s efforts to remain a Best-in-Class provider of Assembly Machinery for metals-based assemblies in the North American automotive, defense, heavy equipment and consumer products industries, they are committed to offering the very best process and technology solutions to their customers.

One of the newest and most exciting technology advancements available on the market is the Super-MIG™ System. It is a new, innovative robotic welding technology developed by combining two reliable standard welding processes, plasma arc and MIG arc, into one hybrid process. This system is available through their corporate family partner via Welding Solutions Inc. (WSI). Welding Solutions Inc. (WSI) was established in 2004 to exclusively market, integrate and service the Super-MIG™ products and processes developed and manufactured by Plasma Laser Technologies, Inc.

WSI employs highly-educated welding experts working in a state-of-the-art laboratory, and offers weld consulting, weld process development, and prototype welding applications. To reach it's goals and mission, Weldmation has allied with HireVeterans.com, one of America's premier Job Boards for U.S. Veterans.

Weldmation Project Management

Their project management system is derived from the processes found in the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK®) published by the Project Management Institute (PMI®). They provide a fully documented methodology available on-line internally to all of their project participants including: procedures, flowcharts, work instructions, checklists, meeting agendas, gate reviews, forms, and reports. Three main features combine to make their project management system highly effective for their ultimate customers and for their internal customers throughout all phases and processes of each project:

Project Manager

A project manager is assigned to each project who will be the clients single-point of accountability and is responsible for contract compliance and change management. This assures that all customer requirements are understood, communicated, and satisfied. An open issues and corrective action matrix will be maintained and published on-line allowing continuous communication flow. Weldmation project managers work closely with all operational departments to ensure that each phase of the project is planned and implemented according to schedule with appropriate resources all while maintaining our high standards for quality and craftsmanship.

Project Management Office

Their methodology relies on the services provided by their Project Management Office (PMO). This department is integrated with their Information Technology department to harvest the synergy generated during the development, support, and implementation of their digital tools, reports and procedures. There are three main processes utilized by the PMO:

Scope Development

Members of the PMO work closely with the project manager and other operational department representatives to develop a comprehensive work breakdown structure for each project. This effort will decompose the project into individual shop orders complete with task descriptions, resource requirements, and budgets for commercial items.

Schedule Development

All Weldmation project schedules are created using Primavera®. They draw from a library of task and subnet templates to create an individual schedule for each shop order then combine them together to form a baseline schedule for the entire project that satisfies all customer requirements and milestones. This baseline schedule then becomes a database of information including: departmental task lists, resource requirements, major milestones, cash flow requirements, departmental interface points, and other reports & lists. Further, this detail schedule integrates with their purchasing system to provide material requirement dates by shop order for each commodity type.

Project Control

Each Monday, project participants report their task progress from the prior work week. This information is measured against the baseline schedule and variances are identified, classified (yellow, blue, red), and reported during the weekly Project Status Review meeting attended by their entire operations management team. Action items and recovery plans, when required, are discussed, authorized, and documented for those tasks and projects with red status. Their process of managing variances and the critical path allows their management team to focus on potential problem tasks early enough in the schedule to avoid downstream schedule delays.

Through the use of "intelligent agents", computer-based decision support systems are able to adapt, respond and learn from individual users under a variety of operational situations.

In 2005 and 2006, Inc. magazine inducted 21CSI into the Inc. 500, the magazine's annual ranking of the fastest-growing privately held companies in the United States. In 2006, 21CSI received the Tibbetts Award which recognizes significant achievements involving technological innovation related to the federal Small Business Innovation Research Program.

Entering its eleventh year with a three-year growth rate of 514.4% and 150 employees, 21CSI has offices in nine states supporting government and private-sector clients.

21CSI was formed in April 1996 to answer the question whether intelligent software agents and humans working together could do better than either one group working alone. Ten years and 150 employees later, the answer was a resounding "Yes!"

They deliver decision support software to help operators manage complex, high-stress, rapidly changing environments through sound, computer-assisted data monitoring and decision making. We provide real-time actionable knowledge to the commander. Intelligent agents embedded in the systems enable the software to adapt, respond, and learn from individual users in a variety of situations.

21CSI consistently delivers more than is required on our government contracts, which is why the government continues to do business with 21 CSI. They are good at what they do.
At the request of the Department of the Navy, 21CSI developed High Resolution Situational Awareness (HiRSA), for use by the Marines. The technology was deployed in 2004 to Camp Fallujah, Iraq for two years. In 2006, the Marines asked 21CSI to conduct further development, and this year, the Marine Corps committed funds to conduct further development and testing.
The SentinelNet maritime force protection command and control software was selected by the Navy as the integrating software for a swimmer detection system currently being developed and tested.
21CSI has sold its security system to a major defense contractor for use in the US Navy, border protection, and approved foreign military sales.

To the contrary, CCE has built a strong reputation for the worldwide provision of quality "fast-track" turnkey design-build and engineering services, usually performed under the most difficult of circumstances, without ever missing a deadline, compromising a contract schedule, or exceeding a budget.

AVIATION SUPPORT

CCE has an excellent performance record in aviation logistics and management. From maintaining service schedules to managing quality control and performing special repairs under challenging field conditions.

CCE has the expertise and global network of qualified personnel to manage aviation programs for large military installations all over the world.

Innovative Supplier Hiring Veterans Now!

iGPS Joins HireVeterans.com

by Marcy Bulstrom

Intelligent Global Pooling Systems (iGPS Company LLC) is revolutionizing the world's supply chain by providing manufacturers, suppliers and shippers of unitized loads with the world's first RFID-tagged all-plastic pallet pool. Manufactured to exacting standards, iGPS's pallets are edge rackable, lightweight, extremely durable, consistent in size, hygienic, and – thanks to embedded RFID tags – fully traceable.

Headquartered in Orlando, Florida with operations in Dallas, Texas, New York and Bentonville, AR, iGPS is now hiring to fill the needs of the new demand created by its forward thinking innovative products. To meet the hiring challenges, iGPS has partnered with HireVeterans.com, an industry leading job board for U.S. Veterans.

What does iGPS offer?

iGPS is leading a paradigm shift in the pallet-rental business from wood to plastic pallets with radio frequency identification (RFID) tracking capabilities. As the world's first and only large-scale supplier of an all-plastic RFID-tagged pallet pool, iGPS's business model provides manufacturers and retailers with compelling advantages:

What are the advantages of iGPS's pallet vs. wood?

iGPS's plastic pallets are far superior to the best wood alternatives.

Weight. Weighing in at less than 50 lbs, iGPS pallets are 30% lighter than the typical multi-use wood pallet. This 25-pound weight savings per-pallet makes our pallets easier to handle and saves up to a total of 540 to 15,390 lbs per truckload, which translates into tremendous fuel and transport savings.
Durability. iGPS pallets are the only in the world that weigh less than 50 lbs, meet both GMA and ISO 8611-3 requirements, and easily hold 2,800 lbs (edge rackable). Already in use at Fortune 100 companies nationwide, our pallets have passed every test and challenge they have been subjected to and continue to demonstrate durability everyday in the supply chain.
Contents protection. Our pallets feature 100% top-deck coverage, providing greater rigidity and contents protection than the typical multi-use wood pallet, which has, at most, 87% top deck coverage.
Uniform size, shape and weight. Unlike wood pallets, our pallets are consistent in appearance and performance. With no broken boards or protruding nails, iGPS pallets work superbly in automated environments.
Hygiene. Unlike wood pallets, which readily absorb liquids and can provide a breeding ground for bacteria, iGPS pallets are impervious to liquids and do not present a health risk. They are cleaned with simple detergent and water. In addition, iGPS pallets do not need to undergo heat treatment (which can result in mildew) or fumigation with methyl bromide.
Fire Safety. Our pallets have undergone extensive testing and have received UL 2335 and FM Approvals 4996 certification. This certification means that the fire performance of iGPS pallets is equal or superior to wood, and that they are fully compliant with NFPA 13 fire sprinkler standards.
RFID. Each iGPS pallet is has four identical RFID tags embedded in its frame, enabling shipment tracking in real time.
Environmentally Responsible. iGPS’s business model has been created with sustainability as a cornerstone. Our pallets are 100% recyclable. Should a pallet become damaged, it will be ground and remolded into a new pallet, as permitted by Underwriters Laboratories, making its lifespan indefinite.

PALLET POOLING

iGPS offers businesses the ability to rent the exact number of pallets they need, rather than having to stock for peak seasons and keeping idle pallets in storage. Companies can easily upgrade to iGPS's system and avoid the expense of purchasing and maintaining a pallet inventory.

Renting Versus Owning
By renting plastic pallets from iGPS's shared pool, businesses can focus their capital expenditures and day-to-day supply-chain operations on their core business and eliminate the expensive distraction of owning and maintaining an inventory of pallets. Importantly, companies that have been using wood pallets – which are difficult to RFID-tag and trace – can readily upgrade to iGPS's system and begin tracking shipments in real time.

How Pallet Pooling Works
Under a pooled system, manufacturers, distributors and retailers rent – rather than own – their pallets; the pallets are owned by iGPS. The pooled pallet system works as follows:

* The manufacturer notifies iGPS of a required shipment.
* iGPS issues ready-for-use plastic pallets to the manufacturing facility in truckload quantities.
* The manufacturer palletizes their product onto the platform and ships it down the distributor network.
* Distributors receive the pallets and either store the products in warehouses or use the pallets to move products to the retailer.
* Once the pallets have been emptied at a retail outlet, the distributor relocates the pallets to their distribution centers.
* Pallets are accumulated at the distribution center and the distributor returns the pallets to iGPS.
* iGPS inspects the pallets and prepares the pallets for reissue.

Led by Rojelio "Rojo" Herrera, President, and James "Jim" Lewis, Senior Vice President, ComCon was founded to provide consulting services to the Pacific Air Forces (PACAF) staff. However, in the aftermath of 9/11/2001, ComCon was asked to staff key leadership positions in PACAF’s operations center; the results are undeniable—ComCon turned an underperforming center in a model of efficiency and teamwork.

More about ComCon Technologies…

Senior Executive Support
ComCon currently provides a former US Ambassador and other retired Foreign Service Officers along with other seasoned professionals from several departments within the federal government. We recognize that a lifetime of experience gained in some of the government's most strategic activities makes these people extremely valuable assets to our nation’s security. We encourage the Department of Defense, in particular, to consider them an opportunity to continue using their unique on their operational/specialized staffs.

ComCon is able source these senior executive level personnel to assist policymakers in matters of strategic policy and . They are extremely sensitive to the need for confidentiality and offer impartial and insightful analyses to senior decision makers in their executive capacity. Meeting these challenges will require transforming the national security establishment, and we are devoted to helping achieve this end.

Exercise & Wargame Planning
Readiness is crucial in today’s 21st century military and the effective use of exercises and wargames is one of the critical components used to maintain this readiness. ComCon has considerable experience in both of these arenas. Our employees have participated in dozens of exercises worldwide in virtually every possible position—from members of the training audience to observer trainer to exercise/wargame design team—we have the expertise to help our client’s training objectives come realities. ComCon understands mission-critical problems and brings innovative solution sets using improved techniques and technology. In short, ComCon is there when needed to support our men and women in uniform.

Logistics & Operations Management
This is ComCon’s core capability—together with our government partners, we have faced the complex command and control (C2) challenges of logistics and operational management. In the immediate aftermath of 9/11, we were sought out by US Air Force agencies to provide greater C2 and strong leadership to an underperforming unit. Since then, we have been cited by general/flag officers for our superior knowledge of logistics, operations and in particular, the air mobility mission. Within the community of the Top 100 defense contractors, ComCon is known as one of the very few corporations who have certifiable credentials in this area.
We have planned and executed and been consulted on literally all major air mobility operations in the Pacific region. Our leadership during the initial stages after the tsunami struck SE Asia gave the DoD courses of action allowing them to manage the complex crisis and literally save lives and reduce human suffering for millions of people.

Information Technology & Systems Engineering
Our record of timely and aggressive IT support has led to an unbeatable record of success! Again, ComCon was sought out by a DoD agency—this time we were asked to take over the management of a network that was faltering in its support to one of the US Army’s warfighting location. In very short order, we assessed the situation, developed a plan to restore the health of the network/systems and implemented the needed changes. Our clients are extremely pleased and more importantly, our soldiers and their support personnel have a secure and high performing network.

"ComCon’s corporate culture is one of mission—our mission is to bring the leadership and the knowledge to help our customers’ to succeed at their mission."

Information Technology
In 2008, ComCon’s IT portfolio was expanded to include the Network Support for the LANDWARNET at Ft Campbell, KY. Our previous successes on the DISN Global Support Contract at Wheeler AAF and EAGLE TALON were keys to our selection to provide this critical support to the communications infrastructure.
Senior Executive Level Support—we are very proud to be on two large multi-year, Indefinite Delivery and Indefinite Quantity contracts: ALLIANT and TRANSCOM Advisory & Assistance Services. Both contracts require seasoned professionals to provide advice to key military leaders.

WASHINGTON - The Initiative for a Competitive Inner City Inc. (ICIC) and Inc. Magazine, the premier publication for small and medium-sized businesses, released its annual Inner City 100 list of the fastest-growing inner city companies in the country. Washington DC based Enlightened, Inc., a leading provider of Information Technology (IT) consulting services, has been ranked 47th on this year’s prestigious list. This was the firm’s second consecutive year making the Inner City 100 list.
Now in its ninth year, the Inner City 100 acknowledges growing companies and spotlights the importance of a robust business sector in creating healthy urban communities. For the 2007 list, over 4,500 new nominations were received. The 2007 Inner City 100 winners grew at a compound annual growth rate of 49 percent and an average rate of 535 percent between 2001 and 2005. The specific rankings were based on total revenue growth over the five-year period.
