Beanprint.com Hits 1 Million Business Card Sales

The millionth card rolls off the printing press

Business Cards, Leaflets, Greeting Cards, Calendars, Model Cards and Post Cards printing company’s growth is ahead of expectations

Redditch, Worcestershire – Beanprint.com has hit the major milestone of a million business cards sales ahead of the company's expectations. After just two months of the launch of their new online business card editor, the millionth card came off the press and struck the magic milestone.

The former CTO and co-founder of the business directory Scoot.com, Chris Chedgzoy, owner and founder of Beanprint.com, has done it again!

“Sales growth has been phenomenal,” said Chris. “We hoped our new editor would go down well with our customers but we’ve been taken aback by how quickly it has grown, and it looks like continuing simply by recommendations alone.”

Beanprint.com has become well known for producing one-off calendars and for offering fulfillment services for artists, photographers and glamour models. But this is quite seasonal work so the transition to printing business cards for the rest of the year and utilizing their high quality printing equipment was a clever move.

“Fast delivery and customer service is critical,” Chris said. “We treated our new business card service the same as we do our calendars, producing and dispatching the orders the same day we receive them. This. I believe, is what has made our business grow at the speed it has.”
During March, Beanprint.com appointed APC-Overnight to handle the delivery to their fast growing customer base. “Next-day delivery is a key element to our business model,” Chris continued. “Internet customers expect to receive their goods the very next day. The days of having to wait 5 working days is history.”

About Beanprint.com:
Beanprint.com specialises in short-run high quality colour printing services offering Business Cards, Leaflets, Greeting Cards, Calendars, Model Cards and Post Cards. From a one-off to a full production run, they utilise the very best of the latest digital printing press technology to enable them to offer the high quality products only traditionally found in large production. They take the guesswork out of charity calendars by offering fulfillment of production and produce calendars as the orders come in, including handling the shipping.

Diskeeper’s Data Performance Software Cuts Four-Day Backup Time in Half

In addition to increased backup data transfer speeds, since installing Diskeeper, drive failures have decreased, fewer drives have been replaced on the SAN, and Diskeeper has also improved access times

London — David Anderson, Network Manager for Cramlington Learning Village School, gave his feedback on how Diskeeper® dramatically cut their server backup times in half. The school, which has been graded 'outstanding' in the last three OFSTED inspections, had the problem of backup times taking four days to complete.

“Symantec BackupExec V12.5, our primary backup application, was taking considerable amount of time to backup due to file fragmentation. Microsoft 2003 Windows and other free defrag tools were not providing an adequate level of defragmentation when working with our large terabyte drives,” comments David Anderson.

He further states: “We tried and tested numerous products and found Diskeeper had the best results... Diskeeper was not only easy to deploy but also proved to decrease the time our backups now take, by an average of 50%... Our backup software showed improved data transfer speed going from 500m/bits per minute to now 1Gb per minute. We have Diskeeper installed onto ten MS Windows 2003 servers which have numerous SAN drives attached to each one. We use an EMC CX3-10 SAN.”

It was also noted by Mr Anderson that the Support Contract Company had said there shouldn’t be a problem with fragmentation related issues. “Our Support Contract Company said there shouldn’t be an issue with fragmentation. However, since installing Diskeeper, drive failures have decreased, and we also don’t have to replace as many drives on the SAN as often as before. Diskeeper also helps with improved access times.”

A recent survey carried out with the existing customers of Diskeeper Corporation Europe, showed over 75% have implemented or are planning to implement a SAN solution. The same survey also revealed that 80% were aware of the detrimental effect of fragmentation on I/O performance.

Mandeep Birdi, Technical Presales Consultant of Diskeeper Corporation Europe comments: “I think Diskeeper is vital for file servers and backup servers, and now that we are preventing over 85% of fragmentation from happening, this means preventing latency of backup times. Our intelliwrite® fragmentation technology also reduces the I/O bottleneck which has a huge effect on performance. So we are, in effect, not only reducing backup times but also improving disk I/O performance as well within the SAN environment.”

Data Storage and Performance – Key Issues, Common Misconceptions

A Vital New Series of Diskeeper Webinars

Webinar host: Mandeep Birdi, Senior Pre-Sales Technical Support Director, Diskeeper Corporation Europe

London — In keeping with their leading position as Innovators in Performance and Reliability Technologies, Diskeeper Corporation Europe today announced a powerful new series of webinars addressing the key issues and common misconceptions surrounding Data Storage and Performance. These highly informative webinars also unveil cutting-edge solutions to the problems faced by key decision-makers and IT administrators alike in today’s ever-changing environment. The webinars will be delivered over the coming months. Brief and incisive, the content will include effective methods for achieving fully optimised system performance, as well as shedding light on common misconceptions associated with SAN storage and I/O bottlenecks. This directly follows recent market research carried out by Diskeeper Corporation, highlighting the major IT concerns – namely data growth/storage, budget restrictions and performance issues/slowness.

“Much attention and pressure is being brought to bear on IT administrators, whose responsibility is to maximise IT performance while simultaneously keeping costs down. No easy task” says Mandeep Birdi, Diskeeper Technical Presales Consultant. He further comments:

“I regularly speak to IT staffs who repeatedly tell me they are hampered by budget restraints, and yet are posed with the problem of improving data efficiency through storage and performance. They’re usually extremely pleased when I explain how they can save money and time, as well as boosting system performance in their company”.

In addition, the webinars cover preventative measures to maintain stable computer system performance and how to add years of productive life to supposedly “outdated” hardware. They’ll also expose many myths associated with today’s typical SAN environment.

“Companies can expend considerable budget resources purchasing more storage space when in many cases this can be prevented by less costly but equally effective solutions.” Thomas Doria, New Business Development Director, Diskeeper Corporation Europe

The webinars include new technologies from Diskeeper Corporation – and how these work to fully optimise any IT system and therefore ultimately answer the conundrum of how to effectively save time and money from an IT perspective. To sign up for the first of these webinars visit: http://ow.ly/4RRSn

Data Storage and Performance – Key Issues, Common Misconceptions

Internationally Acclaimed Wildlife Photographer Heather Angel Demonstrates How to Photograph Endangered Animals and Plants

The Heather Angel Wildlife and Natural History Workshop, now in its 15th year, will be held at Saint Hill Manor, Sussex, on Saturday 23rd July, 2011. The Manor is one of the finest historic sandstone buildings in England, set in fifty-nine acres of landscaped gardens and a wooded lake, and provides the perfect location for this workshop.

London – Professor Heather Angel, the author of over sixty books and the recipient of numerous awards, will be holding an exclusive wildlife and natural history workshop in coordination with Nikon UK and Think Tank camera bags at Saint Hill Manor on Saturday 23rd July, 2011. The event is sponsored by the revered Nikon dealer Grays of Westminster, currently celebrating its twenty-fifth anniversary year. Grays of Westminster specialises exclusively in Nikon, offering what is probably the widest range of new and second-hand Nikon in the world.

The schedule for the day includes comprehensive lectures, demonstrations and the opportunity to handle and use a large range of new Nikon camera equipment and Think Tank camera bags. Heather Angel’s previous workshops at Saint Hill Manor have attracted participants from all over the world, including the USA and Japan.

Heather Angel frequently visits dangerous and inhospitable places in her quest to provide organisations such as the WWF, Kew Gardens and the British Council with images of endangered animals and rare plants. Heather will reveal how she prepares for trips, what equipment she takes and how she works to meet her targets. She will show how digital cameras have enabled her to capture some special macro shots with innovative lighting and focus stacking. One of Heather Angel's images of a red panda is featured in the set of Royal Mail stamps to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of the WWF, launched in March 2011, and the attendees will gain an insight into how memorable photographs can help to raise awareness of threatened wildlife.

A recent first class British postage stamp used this photograph of a Red Panda by Heather Angel

• Nikon Total Imaging System – a talk by John Clements
• Practical Macro session with Heather Angel inside and in the garden
