<p>AnsuR has won the prestigious <a href="https://www.dnbnor.no/portal/microsites/forside.jhtml?companyId=innovasjon" title="More on the DnBNOR Innovation Award (in Norwegian)" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/www.dnbnor.no');">DnBNOR Innovation Award</a> in the Communications and Collaborative Technology with their <a href="http://www.ansur.no/solutions/asign/asign.html" title="More on ASIGN" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/www.ansur.no');">ASIGN</a> concept. The price is for 300.000 NOK (approx 37.000 Euro), and is thus still competing in the overall final for 1 Million NOK. The ASIGN concept offers the possibility to communicate with high quality photos in near real time with embedded GPS. These capabilities open several new service options such as  real time interactive inspection, quality management and supervision, rapid mapping and combination with latest earth observation, e.g. for UN operations and the fastest possible photo input globally for e.g. web publication.  ASIGN combines years of research and development with the latest technology in satellite communications, in particular from Inmarsat BGAN, earth observation, mapping and navigation. AnsuR&#8217;s founder, Dr. Harald Skinnemoen, is thanking the company&#8217;s employees and partners, <a href="http://www.ignitas.com/ignitas-to-advise-ansur-technologies/" title="Ignitas is advicing AnsuR" >among them Ignitas</a>. “We still have many ideas we wish to see implemented. I think we&#8217;ll see our team creating a future success in satellite technology and services.”</p>
<p>AnsuR har vunet DnBNOR’S prestisjefulle Innovasjonspris i kategorien Kommunikasjons- og samarbeidsteknologi med sitt ASIGN-konsept. Prisen er på kr. 300.000, og AnsuR er dermed i posisjon til å vinne hovedprisen på kr. 1 million i finalerunden. ASIGN-konseptet gjør det mulig å sende ut visuell informasjon, samt data om eksakt plassering på kloden til mange personer globalt, samtidig og i sanntid. Løsningen benytter satellitter til både innsamling og distribusjon av informasjon og data, og vil særlig ha relevans i kritiske situasjoner knyttet til nødhjelp, telemedisin, katastrofehåndtering, overvåkning, sikkerhet og fredsbevarende operasjoner. Gründer Harald Skinnemoen takker ansatte og partnere, blant dem Ignitas.”Vi har fortsatt mange ideer til hvordan vi kan øke verdien og nytten av ASIGN. Jeg tror vårt team kan lage en fremtidig norsk industriell suksess innen satellitteknologi og -tjenester”.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.gogoyoko.com" title="Visit Gogoyoko!" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/www.gogoyoko.com');">Gogoyoko</a>, a new Icelandic venture set to revolutionize the way music is sold on the Internet, has hired Ignitas to assist with their online strategy. Gogoyoko.com is a fair trade online music marketplace with a focus on charity and social networking. The company, comprised of former musicians, introduces a new ground-breaking platform for artists and labels to market, distribute and sell their music directly to the consumer, without the need for a middleman. Included in the service are several unique technologies, such as a music player that can be embedded on any site with its own music store rooted in the interface. Gogoyoko is currently operating in a closed mode, with the alpha launch scheduled for November 15th.  Ignitas will assist the company with advice related to strategy, distribution and fundraising, and will be represented in the company&#8217;s executive board. Follow the development process on the <a href="http://www.blog.gogoyoko.com" title="Visit the Gogoyoko blog!" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/www.blog.gogoyoko.com');">Gogoyoko blog</a> or subscribe to the distribution list at <a href="http://www.gogoyoko.com" title="Subscribe to the Gogoyoko newsletter!" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/www.gogoyoko.com');">gogoyoko.com</a>.</p>
<p>Islandske Gogoyoko utvikler et nytt konsept som vil introdusere radikale endringer for hvordan musikk distribueres på Internett. Tjenesten, utviklet av en gruppe tidligere musikere, lar artister og  plateselskaper laste opp egen musikk direkte til siden, uten behov for ytterligere distribusjonsledd. Artistene får tilgang til en kanal hvor de kan både kommunisere med og selge til sine fans, samtidig som de kan velge å donere en del av inntektene til veldedige organisasjoner. Tjenesten introduserer flere unike konsepter, bl.a. en portabel musikkspiller med innebygd nettbutikk som kan legges på hvilken som helst internettside utenfor Gogoyoko.com. Tjenesten er i dag kun tilgjengelig i lukket modus, med alpha-lansering planlagt 15. November. Ignitas vil bistå Gogoyoko med strategi, distribusjon og finansiering, samt styrerepresentasjon.

<p>The <a href="http://www.fairchance.com/" title="Visit Fair Chance" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/www.fairchance.com');">Fair Chance Group</a> is launching a micro-lottery concept providing a new source of income for charities world-wide. It&#8217;s current charity partners are the <a href="http://www.icrc.org/eng" title="Visit the International Committee of the Red Cross" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/www.icrc.org');">Red Cross</a>, <a href="http://www.savethechildren.org/" title="Visit Save the Children" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/www.savethechildren.org');">Save the Children</a>, <a href="http://www.diambars.org/index.php?p=accueil&amp;langue=en" title="Visit Diambars" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/www.diambars.org');">Diambars</a> and <a href="http://www.righttoplay.com/" title="Visit Right to Play" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/www.righttoplay.com');">Right to Play</a>. The Fair Chance concept is patented and has been approved by the <a href="http://www.lottstift.no/" title="Visit The Norwegian Gaming and Foundation Authority" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/www.lottstift.no');">Norwegian Gaming and Foundation Authority</a>. The Fair Chance business idea is that when you arrive at the cash register at your local grocery store, you can make a choice to add a small sum (e.g. 50 Cents) to your bill, and this can result in the customer winning either a top prize, all the groceries in their shopping cart at the time of purchase or a small prize. The top prize could be groceries for one family for one year, based on an average family’s consumption. Under the terms of a recent business agreement, Ignitas is teaming up with Fair Chance Group to create Fair Chance Online, a subsidiary that will create and implement the Fair Chance concept for online stores globally. In addition to taking a minority stake in the Fair Chance Group, Ignitas&#8217; founding partner Gard Jenssen, previously VP Product at the European e-commerce giant <a href="http://www.kelkoo.com" title="Visit Kelkoo" onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/www.kelkoo.com');">Kelkoo</a>, has created a team of previously core product people from Kelkoo to set-up an efficient Fair Chance Online concept to be rolled-out in major European markets later this year.</p>
<p>Fair Chance Group skal lansere et konsept for mikrolotteri som vil skape nye inntektsmuligheter for veldedige organisasjoner verden over. De nåværende partnerne er Røde Kors, Redd Barna, Diambars og Right to Play. Fair Chance konseptet er patentert og er nylig godkjent av Lotteri- og stiftelsestilsynet i Norge. Forretningsmodellen til Fair Chance består i at du kan legge til en liten sum til det du handler i dagligvarebutikken (f.eks. fra 40 øre til 4 kroner) og dermed kan du vinne en hovedgevinst (f.eks. matforbruk for et helt år for hele familien), eller alt du har i handlekurven din der og da, eller også en mindre gevinst (f.eks. en smaksprøve). Ignitas har signert en avtale med Fair Chance Group der vi både blir investorer og konsulenter for selskapet. Hovedoppgaven til Ignitas blir å bistå Fair Chance i arbeidet med å opprette en nettbasert tjeneste rettet mot nettbutikker verden over, via datterselskapet Fair Chance Online. Gründer og partner i Ignitas, Gard Jenssen, som tidligere var produktansvarlig globalt i netthandelsgiganten Kelkoo, har satt opp et team av tidgligere sentrale Kelkoo-medarbeidere som skal sett opp og rulle ut Fair Chance Online i de største Europeiske markedene senere i år.</p>

<p>On Tuesday 5 February, <a href="/about/torkel-johannessen-ceo/">Torkel Johannessen</a> from  Ignitas and Ole Emil  Johnsen, communication advisor from <a target="_blank" title="Visit ColtPR" href="http://www.coltpr.no/"title="More about Torkel Johannessen"  onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/www.coltpr.no');">Colt PR</a> held a seminar at IT  Fornebu focusing on how to utilize social media and community services as  components in a marketing plan. More than 30 attendants turned up for the  seminar in the main auditorium at IT Fornebu. Nowadays, most individuals and  companies have realized that the Internet landscape is changing rapidly as user  generated content sites increases in popularity. A quick Alexa search reveals  that today, 10 of the world’s top 20 web sites can be categorised as social  networking and community sites, where the end user themselves provide most of  the content. Less than four years ago, no social networking sites were ranked as  top 20. Some companies are acting on the new opportunities this shift presents,  but many more could benefit heavily by including social networking  as a new and  potentially highly rewarding media channel which can be accessed with relative  ease. Feel free to contact Ignitas to learn more about how social networking  activities can be adopted as part of your media and marketing mix.</p>
<p>Tirsdag 5. februar gjennomførte <a href="/about/torkel-johannessen-ceo/">Torkel Johannessen</a> fra Ignitas og Ole Emil  Johnsen, kommunikasjonsrådgiver for <a target="_blank" title="Besøk Colt PR" href="http://www.coltpr.no/"title="Merom Torkel Johannessen"  onclick="javascript:urchinTracker ('/outbound/article/www.coltpr.no');">Colt PR</a>, et seminar på IT  Fornebu om hvordan bedrifter kan benytte sosiale medier og community-produkter  som en del av sin markedsstrategi. Mer enn 30 tilhørere var tilstede under  seminaret som ble gjennomført i hovedauditoriet på IT Fornebu. Mange individer  og selskaper har nå fått med seg at Internettlandskapet er i ferd med å  gjennomgå sin største transformasjon noensinne ettersom brukergenerert innhold  står for en større del av konsumet på Internett.  Et raskt Alexa-søk avdekker at  10 av verdens 20 største websider nå er sosiale nettverk eller tilbydere av  brukergenerert innhold.  For mindre enn 4 år siden nådde ingen av disse opp på  topp 20-listen. Noen selskaper har lykkes i å tilpasse seg denne nye  mediehverdagen, men mange flere kan dra nytte av mulighetene dette skiftet  representerer.  Sosiale medier utgjør en ny og meget attraktiv mediekanal som  kan utnyttes med relativt enkle midler i en markedsstrategi. Ta  gjerne kontakt med Ignitas for å lære mer om hvordan sosiale medier kan bli  brukt som en del av din markedsstrategi.
