Tattoo@Home Broadband Offers the Power of FREE

TATTOO@Home again introduces another first in the broadband industry by offering subscribers FREE unlimited landline to mobile calls to Globe and TM. This is on top of the FREE monthly service fee and FREE Globe NDD already offered before, making it now the best value-for-money broadband bundle.

“Tattoo@Home has always espoused that an internet connection is an enabler for greatness, especially for the whole family. This is why we need to make broadband as accessible as possible to everyone. Why ask people to pay double for two services --- landline and home internet --- that run on the same line? ” says Jurist Gamban, Head of Tattoo@Home Broadband.

Gamban further explains that the landline is the lifeline of any household and it serves as a reliable link between working parents and their children. It connects them to the househelp and the nannies who look after their kids. However, the cost of calling a mobile phone from a landline has prevented this lifeline to be used as often as necessary.

iZone-iHub : Changing the Rules of Startup Assistance

An invention is, more often than not, very slow to transcend from conceptualization to implementation. It often requires a critical mass of talents and resources to market and commercialize a single technology no matter how breakthrough it is. This is the main reason why technology business incubators are being established to accelerate the successful development of tech startup firms through an array of business support resources and services, developed and orchestrated by the incubator through its network of contacts and affiliates.

I've read a lot about companies and groups coming up with programs that are aimed to tap into the potentials of entrepreneurs.

Epson Latest Environmental Ideas From Highlighted At Eco-Products 2012

Visitors to Eco-Products 2012, Japan's largest environmental exhibition, had the chance to observe Epson's latest environmental ideas at the company's booth. The exhibition was held at Tokyo Big Sight from December 13 to 15, 2012.

1. Epson booth

Epson's booth was designed around the simple idea of showing how using Epson products can reduce environmental burden and contribute to a sustainable society.

The booth aimed to illustrate the unique nature of Epson's products, and included banners printed using the Epson SurePress label printer and images projected using the latest Epson wall-mounted projectors.

The Next Stage in Printing Evolution: Amazing High Quality Prints With Unbelievably Low Running Cost

With the introduction of the new Epson L-series genuine ink tank system printers, customers can enjoy a huge advantage on low-cost, high quality printing without the unnecessary cost of converting printers into continuous ink supply systems (CISS).

Converting printers may void the manufacturer’s warranty – as in the case with Epson products.  By tampering with the printer mechanism and using third party consumables (inks), consumers end up with inferior quality prints, or worse, malfunctioning printers

The new Epson L-series provides very low printing costs, while ensuring that customers keep the manufacturer’s warranty, and provides high quality prints with its genuine Epson ink. The new Epson L-series, the world’s first and only genuine ink tank system printers, is a result of recognizing the customer’s need to create a new product line that gives customers everything they are looking for in an inkjet printer: fast printing, unbelievably low running cost, ease of use, high quality prints, and peace of mind brought by Epson’s warranty coverage.

Time to Love Work Again

C3 is a Company “Where Love Is In The Workplace”


The holidays got everyone caught up in the hustle and bustle of year-end work, shopping, gift-giving and endless parties. For many, this signalled a winding down of the seasons. For others, it was a time to recollect and think about the year that has just passed and prepare for new beginnings. For those who are looking for a new direction – especially regarding their careers, and are deciding on a different course to take, make that leap; start early, start now. For those who are looking into joining the call center industry, look no further than C3.

            As a contact center in the Philippines, C3 continues to be a breath of fresh air since it was established recently. It passed the 1000 employee mark and now has close to 2,000 employees and five accounts. One cannot deny that its growth is exceptional, but its rise to success is because of the contact center industry experience that its core of leaders brought to C3, along with time-tested methodologies and singular focus on customer solutions.

   More known as C3, but its very essence is found in its full name, C3/CustomerContactChannels. Customer pertains to C3 as a company that serves the customer above all else, with full intent to resolve things quickly, and to do things excellently. Contact means C3 is an expert in contact center management. Channels refers to the way C3 says that for every issue, there is a way, there is an answer.

Love Makes The Workplace Go Round

“<” + “3” = LOVE

            Try to type this in Facebook, and you will get a heart. This graphic animation often used in social media messaging is a simplistic and lighthearted depiction of a complex emotion. Love in any form needs demonstration. When one sees love, watches it grow, feels it, lives it, gives and receives it, it becomes real and the most amazing thing, especially if it happens in, of all places, a customer contact center.

            The notion of love is alive and well in C3, a customer communications outsourcer, whose customer contact representatives are surrounded by love, literally as the word fills the spaces on the walls and cubicles around them, and figuratively.  Beyond the literal sense and corporate speak, C3 makes a difference in the information communication technology industry because of its culture of love.

            C3’s full name, C3/CustomerContactChannels, spells out its very essence: Customer, which means that C3 is a company that serves the customer above all else, with full intent to resolve issues quickly, and to do things excellently; Contact, as C3 is an expert in contact center management; and Channels, through which C3 says, for every issue there is a way, there is an answer.
