Hello,

For workers in specialty occupations who are in the United States on H1B visa status, securing a Green Card can be a difficult, lengthy, and expensive process.  Finding a reputable employer to help you navigate this process can add further complication.  This is an important issue within the IT community, as it effects IT consultants at a higher rate than any other industry.  H1B IT consultants not only need to find an employer who is willing to offer them the financial and procedural support they need to get their Green Card, they need that employer to have a successful track record in securing Green Cards for their employees. 

Astir IT Solutions, Inc., our parent company, understands how difficult it is for H1B visa holders to obtain their Green Card.  One of the many benefits that Astir IT provides to our IT consultants is Green Card filing assistance.  We have the experience and expertise needed to guide you through the many steps; as we have helped numerous employees secure their Green Cards in our 15+ years of operation.  Our Human Resources and Immigration Departments are experts with a perfect record with Green Card filings.  We also offer H1 assistance, so we can help you file your H1B, H1B Extension, H1B Transfer, Green Card, Etc.

If you are interested in learning more about our Green Card Filing Assistance Program, feel free to email us at contact@astirit.com.  We are always looking for talented IT professionals to fill our high volume of prime vendor and direct client requirements.  If you are looking for a better employer, better project, better rate, H1B filing assistance, or Green Card filing assistance, email us today!

Thanks!

Hello,

I just came across a great article from Marketing Profs:

http://www.marketingprofs.com/articles/2013/12019/improve-sales-change-your-marketing-approach-not-just-your-tools

Having the right marketing tools is just half the battle.  You must be in the right frame of mind in order to reach your full marketing potential.  This article raises a very important question; does your marketing approach match the needs of your target?  You need to be ahead of the game in a world that is evolving very rapidly.  In order to succeed, you need to be nimble and informed.  Being locked into traditional methodologies, or being boxed in by red tape can be the difference maker between success and failure.

Finding the right approach is difficult, and is often an exercise of trial and error.  Consultation with marketing experts and a review of best practices can help guide you in the right direction, but ultimately it is a study in understanding your organization, your products and solutions, and your target market.

This is not saying, however, that the tools are not important.  This is far from the truth.  Having the right set of tools can make all the difference in your marketing campaigns.  The right tools will enable you to implement your campaigns quickly, and measure their efficacy.  Having the right tools coupled with a targeted and well crafted approach is the recipe for success.

Astir Analytics has a wide array of solutions that can help guide you in the right direction.  Give us a call today, and we can discuss how Astir can help improve your marketing. (908) 279-8670 ext. 716.

Hello,

Marketing organizations, historically, have a difficult time justifying their existence.  It is very difficult to find a tangible measurement for marketing effectiveness.  Sales organizations can look to sales figures, staffing organizations can provide stats on placements, etc.  Marketing organizations are often unable to point to specific metrics that show a tangible ROI.

This is one of the areas Astir Analytics specializes in.  Astir Analytics helps marketing organizations understand the data available to them; and designs custom services and solutions that help quantify and qualify organizational impact.  Our services and solutions help leverage data and technology; providing the ability to measure marketing effectiveness.

Some of the services and solutions we have designed have enabled customers to measure campaign effectiveness, identify custom needs, manage leads, and improve their share of wallet.  We would love to work with your organization, and help you demonstrate your organizational worth.  Give me a call at 908-279-8670 ext. 716 so we can discuss how Astir Analytics can custom build services and solutions that improve your organization.

Marketing professionals have a unique set of challenges to overcome.  The biggest and most obvious hurdle is driving more leads into the sales funnel for your sales team to convert.  A less obvious, but still significant hurdle (and possibly the most difficult hurdle,) is demonstrating organizational worth to stakeholders.  So not only do you have to execute your job, but you have to show the effectiveness of your efforts.

Marketing efforts can be difficult to quantify.  Other departments, HR, Accounts, Sales, Etc. have easily accessible, concrete output to point to.  A marketing department can roll out a highly successful campaign; and now have a quantifiable method to full understand that success.  In order to show tangible return on investment, marketing professionals can make use of analytics tools.  Provided that you can collect the data on your campaigns, manage the tools, and interpret the results, analytics tools can provide meaningful statistics on how effective your campaigns are, and who they are reaching.

Astir Analytics specializes in designing custom analytics tools for marketing and sales organizations.  The tools we have provided customers enable them to accurately measure the effectiveness of their marketing campaigns and understand exactly who is being reached.  Our business intelligence tools enable you to clearly quantify your marketing campaigns, and concentrate your resources.

I would love to explore how Astir Analytics can improve your organization, so feel free to give me a call (908) 279-8670 ext. 716.
