our biggest challenge is the vetting process ,
arnold said .
itunes and other appstores have a real challenge of determining what gets approved . we have a challenge of making sure we maintain a high bar for apps on our platform .
exclusive – social q & a site urltoken , created by webmd founder jeff arnold and tv’s dr . mehmet oz , is partnering with healthline networks , a provider of intelligent health information services . healthline currently powers the health platforms at yahoo health , aarp , aetna , united health group and others . going forward , it will power sharecare’s search services too .

as part of sharecare’s unique business model , answers are also provided by “knowledge partners , ” private sector sponsoring companies that have compiled substantial research through product development , pharmaceutical and medical device discovery , or consumer product development . this unique engagement allows a brand to develop a direct relationship with consumers by transparently participating in the conversations of health , as opposed to simply purchasing a traditional banner ad .

close to 100 million people use the internet to learn about health matters . the trick is to find a site with reliable sources . sharecare has partnered with doctors from prestigious hospitals , such as the cleveland clinic and johns hopkins , to answer questions people might have about a variety of topics . in a highly unorthodox approach , the site has also invited pharmaceutical companies , pharmacies , and makers of beauty products to participate in discussions .
the query is one of 115 , 000 oz has received in the past two months as he prepares with jeff arnold , founder of the publicly traded medical diagnosis publication webmd , to launch a social networking site dedicated to health . named sharecare , the web project will roll out in early 2010 as an upgraded webmd , matching readers ' questions on topics such as diabetes , depression and chronic fatigue with answers from celebrity physicians and top medical centers .

tribold is tackling one of the biggest challenges facing csps in the 21st century – effectively managing products and services across their growing portfolios . through its suite of product management application software , tribold automates what is today a manual and disjointed process , by consolidating product information into a single , unified product catalog . centralizing product data will provide the catalyst to rapidly deliver new product bundles to market in the most efficient and profitable way .
under the acquisition agreement , simon muderack will assume the role of senior vice president of market development and alliances for sigma . catherine michel , tribold’s cto and co - founder , will become the chief strategy officer ( cso ) for sigma .
toronto — july 9 , 2013 — sigma systems , the leader in catalog - driven service fulfilment solutions , announced today it has completed the acquisition of uk - based tribold limited , the world’s leading provider of enterprise product management ( epm ) software .
“tribold is an exciting new communications industry software applications company , with a rapidly growing portfolio of telecoms customers . what is more , the market is still in its embryonic stages and we see this as an excellent opportunity to achieve a dominant share of this emerging sector , ” said nic brisbourne , partner at esprit capital partners . “we were also attracted by the experience of tribold’s excellent board , especially the pedigree of the ceo , simon muderack and cto , catherine michel . we believe the success of our investment is assured . ”
an unusually short lifespan might indicate that your tribold ancestors lived in harsh conditions . a short lifespan might also indicate health problems that were once prevalent in your family . the ssdi is a searchable database of more than 70 million names . you can find birthdates , death dates , addresses and more .
evidence of the healthy nature of tribold’s marketing can be seen according to a forthcoming yankee group report , which states that the typical csp has upwards of 1000 unique products , and can take up to a year to introduce new products . as we move towards a fully converged environment , this number is set to rise dramatically – further exacerbating the already significant product management challenges .
sigma’s acquisition of tribold brings together two leading product lines to create a comprehensive , multi - channel solution stack that offers a true ‘idea - to - install’ platform . sigma’s expanded solution set now offers catalog driven capability for the complete idea - to - install process , from the point of creating and deploying new products and services , to creating and configuring the customer’s order , through to delivering the order with installation and activation .
“with the tribold acquisition , sigma has redefined the ‘idea to install’ platform , offering a complete , catalog - driven suite of solutions for service providers . service providers can now take immediate advantage of network and service innovation to roll out value - added services , including consumer , enterprise , cloud and m2m applications , and to improve revenues and margins in their core businesses , ” said tim spencer , president and coo , sigma systems .
sigma’s smp is the industry’s leading multi - service fulfilment platform , and is trusted by communications service providers around the world to deliver hundreds of millions of bundled and converged communication services for business and residential subscribers . smp was the first multi - service catalog - driven service fulfilment platform to be certified compliant for the telemanagement forum’s oss / j order management api . similarly , tribold has been instrumental in the development and evolution of the tmf’s focus on epm .
with the race on to own the ‘converged customer’ across the csp market , subscriber retention is a priority . csps increasingly find themselves having to go - to - market with new and enhanced products and services quicker if they are to retain customers and not lose competitive advantage . by providing csps with a single view of all products and services offered , tribold enables them to understand key product management metrics , such as profitability and predictive analysis , based on accurate information . in today’s converged world , the ability to rapidly adapt to changing trends in customer demands has a direct affect on the provider’s bottom line .
“securing this level of investment marks the start of another exciting chapter in the company’s history and will allow us to build on and further increase the momentum we have built up in the market . we are entering an important phase in our business development and i am delighted to have such strong and experienced financial partners , ” said simon muderack , ceo at tribold . “esprit represents another critical blue chip partnership for us , complementing our existing vc , eden ventures , who have already added considerable experience and momentum to the business and will continue to do so going forward . furthermore , nic joining the already experienced board will add his extensive wealth of expertise and business acumen . ”
