SALT LAKE CITY, UT -- (Marketwire) -- 01/17/13 -- Vérité, a digital communications agency, and The Road Home, the largest homeless shelter in Utah, announced the Holiday Radio-a-Thon a huge success with unprecedented donations. The final donation amount reported by the Road Home was $1,447,000.00. The Holiday Radio-a-Thon is vital to the operation of The Road Home shelter as it raises funds that help provide life saving shelter throughout the winter months.
This year the key communications strategy for the Holiday Radio-a-Thon involved an integrated campaign supported on the web, social and mobile platforms. Working with Vérité, The Road Home content was able to launch 2 weeks earlier than in past years, resulting in increased exposure of the fundraiser through the web, mobile and social tools. Early donations were a key outcome of this and further added to the donation success.
Vérité developed a mobile version of The Road Home site and integrated it with their main site content allowing supporters to make their donation quickly and easily no matter where they were. This ease of access resulted in more individual contributions during the Holiday Radio-a-Thon than ever before. "We were delighted to have such a successful event and Vérité as an incredibly strong partner; this combination helped us meet our financial goals," says Becca Dupaix, Development Manager at The Road Home. "Innovative tools allowed us to track and thank donors for their support quickly and easily."

We all talk about cloud differently, but is there a way we should be speaking about this tech?
Cloud computing is now a widely reported, if not accepted, IT movement that, depending on who you talk to, has changed or is changing the way businesses utilize infrastructure.
The age of data center automation is upon us. Whether it's cloud or SDN or devops in general, automation as a means to achieve efficiency and, one hopes, free up resources that can be then redirected to focus on innovation.
As is always the case when we begin to move further upwards, abstracting ...
