Internet Education Is The Best
Defense Against Network Security Threats and SPAM - WSI Corporate.
Reports on 3/26/2004
Toronto, Canada - Internet
security firm mi2g Ltd. estimates that digital attacks from hackers
and viruses have resulted in over US$100 billion in damages to
websites worldwide in 2003. A record level of attacks—20,000,
in the month of January alone—helped make Internet security
one of the leading issues in the online world in 2003. It is predicted
that these numbers will continue to increase with the total economic
damage from all types of digital attacks worldwide passing the
US$250 billion mark in 2004. This posesses a serious threat to
online businesses, but it’s a threat that can be combated
through proper education on the subject. This is the message being
relayed internationally by WSI Corporate, the world’s largest
network of Internet Consultants.
Once a business has made the decision
to go online there are a number of important considerations beyond
the development of the site itself. Concepts such as security—an
ongoing and evolving process—is rarely given the attention
it deserves. Through the consulting services offered by WSI Corporate,
a business can acquire the critical knowledge it needs to protect
itself from becoming an Internet security statistic. “Education
is the key to a business protecting itself online,” explains
WSI Internet Consultant Rene Garcia. “Everyday companies
unknowingly make mistakes that leave their systems vulnerable
to digital attacks. With the proper knowledge and software in
place these mistakes can be avoided, saving money and increasing
productivity and efficiency in the process.”
Typically, the news media focuses
on attacks to large corporations and government agencies, leaving
small- to medium-sized businesses with the impression that Internet
security isn’t an issue that concerns them. Unfortunately
this isn’t the case. Any business, no matter what its size
or function faces potential threats from hackers each day for
numerous reasons. By teaching companies how to defend their systems,
WSI Corporate Internet Consultants strive to keep their clients
informed and safe. As WSI Corporate clients know, one of the largest
daily threats is the increased reliance on email—one of the
most versatile and important tools to any online business. However,
email as a communication medium is insecure and opens the door
to potential attacks such as virus distribution and unsolicited
advertisements or “spam”.
The popularity and widespread adoption
of email is no accident; it is often more efficient than other
means of communication and allows customers to quickly contact
a business from anywhere in the world at any time of day. But
as inboxes fill up with orders, inquiries, and correspondence,
they also fill up with spam. In November 2003, measurements by
Brightmail's Probe Network showed that 56% of all email was spam
related. This has caused many industry insiders to predict that
by mid-2004 spam will surpass the 60% mark.
And with ever-increasing spam comes
larger threats to security. Spam in itself is an annoying nuisance
that many businesses find drains productivity, distracts employees,
and can be offensive. It also has a negative effect on server
and storage space and can slow down connection time. In addition
to this effect on valuable network resources, spam can also contain
malicious code, and in some cases has been connected to credit
card fraud and software piracy. With thousands of email messages
being received and sent by individual companies each day, many
businesses are making themselves an easy target to hackers, viruses,
and spam. By utilizing WSI’s industry leading technology
such as intrusion detection applications, authentication devices,
and firewalls, a business can position itself to avoid the costly
consequences associated with digital attacks.
Few can forget how fast the Sobig.F
virus spread through the online world this past August, crippling
entire network systems with the sheer volume of email traffic
it produced. In just a few short weeks, this email-based threat
caused US$29.7 billion worth of damage to companies worldwide
that were caught unprepared for such an attack.
Businesses can avoid costly security
threats by practicing safe online behavior and employing server-based
traffic filtering technologies, such as those offered by WSI’s
hosting environment. As each business is different, WSI Corporate
Internet Consultants can assess which methods will suit a particular
company best and then deploy those solutions to protect their
clients. As WSI Corporate Internet Consultant Garcia says, “Knowledge
is power and with the right information in hand, most Internet
security threats can easily be avoided.”

WSI Franchise Today Announced

WSI Internet Franchise Search
Engine Marketing -- Putting Businesses in Front of Customers on
Demand.
Reports on 3/26/2004
Toronto, Canada - According
to Forrester Research, e-Commerce sales will increase 19% year-over-year,
rising to US$229 billion in 2008 from US$95.7 billion in 2003.
With so many commercial sites on the Internet all vying for the
same consumer dollars, it is becoming progressively more difficult
for businesses to stand out and find their market. The solution
to this ever-growing challenge is Search Engine Marketing: an
integral part of WSI Internet Franchise industry-leading Internet
Solutions for small- to medium-sized businesses.
Customers who already know a business’
web address will have little problem finding and utilizing a site,
however, this makes up a very small percentage of the potential
clientele who use the Internet every day. Research shows that
the majority of Internet users rely on search engines like Google™
and Yahoo™ to quickly locate the products and services they
need.
While few would discount the value
of being listed in a search engine—a process that can take
weeks or months, depending on the service—many don’t
realize that simply being listed isn’t enough. Not anymore.
Sites must rank among the top search results if they ever hope
to see a user click-through. By employing WSI Internet Franchise
Search Engine Optimization strategies, sites not only get listed
within days, they also appear at the top of search results where
interested consumers are looking for information.
One highly effective Search Engine
Marketing option offered by WSI Internet Franchise is known as
“Guaranteed Inclusion”. This traffic generation system
is becoming increasingly popular among WSI clients because the
results are guaranteed. In order to drive this guaranteed traffic
to client sites WSI Internet Consultants must first create a profile
of a business’ potential prospects. Then, through a proprietary
process which involves analyzing millions of “traffic-trails”
on the World Wide Web, the WSI Internet Consultant will identify
the exact targeted search terms and phrases that these prospects
are currently using to identify products and services similar
to the ones being offered by the business owner. Once defined,
WSI Internet Consultants can position a business so that when
an Internet user enters a query using those words or phrases into
a partnered search engine, the client’s site is returned
at the top of the search results. With hundreds—and sometimes
thousands—of links being returned in any given keyword search,
the advantage given to WSI optimized sites is significant.
What’s best of all is that using
WSI’s Guaranteed Inclusion system, business owners only pay
for the traffic that they get; that is, businesses only pay when
a potential customer clicks through to their site, making this
an extremely controllable and cost-effective method of reaching
a wide audience. This is especially important for WSI’s target
market of small- to medium-sized businesses, where budgets don’t
allow for large-scale “broadcast” advertising. WSI clients
determine how much they wish to pay for the service each month,
allowing them to easily set out and manage their online advertising
budget.
WSI’s Guaranteed Inclusion system
is also extremely flexible, as keywords and phrases can easily
be changed to improve results, take advantage of seasonal opportunities
or target different market segments. WSI Internet Consultants
continually monitor their clients’ campaigns and suggest
modifications whenever necessary to ensure consistent top rankings
according to the business goals of their clients. This is an important
competitive advantage on today’s Internet where sales are
won and lost in the time it takes to enter a few keywords and
hit “Search”.

WSI Consulting Data Center Continues
to Set Standard for Network and Web Hosting Reliability.
Reports on 3/25/2004
Toronto, Canada - In its quarterly
review of Network Operations, WSI Internet Consulting released
figures today indicating that its Toronto Data Center continues
to set the standard for network and web hosting reliability. According
to WSI CTO Bob Lewis, the Company’s Toronto Data Center has
maintained 99.9% service availability since January of 2003, surpassing
the company’s stated SLA (Service Level Agreement) of 99.7%
uptime. This level of service availability places WSI in the top
percentile of web hosting performance.
Network stability has always been
a priority for WSI Internet Consulting, a fact proven during the
unprecedented August 2003 blackout that affected millions of homes
and businesses across the northeastern U.S. and Canada. While
many I.T. companies were left in the dark until power levels stabilized,
WSI’s full services were back up in less than 4 hours and
its critical systems were unaffected by the blackout. Lewis attributes
this success under such extreme circumstances to the company’s
investment in backup systems and well-defined disaster recovery
protocols. “From the moment power was lost, our backup systems
maintained our core services and on-site generators were activated
to restore reliable hosting capacity,” explains Lewis. WSI’s
system of redundant Internet connections meant connectivity to
the Internet was uninterrupted, even though many area Internet
Service Providers were offline or operating at reduced capacity.
As the world’s leading Internet
Solutions franchise, the demands placed on the WSI Internet Consulting
Data Center are significant. Every day it serves the operational
needs of over 700 franchised offices worldwide and thousands of
hosted websites. WSI’s global e-Marketplace model also relies
on the Toronto Data Center to unite numerous production centers
and suppliers with franchisees and the Home Office for vital day-to-day
business functions. This amounts to over 2 million emails, over
a half a billion hits to its web servers and 350GB of outgoing
bandwidth each month.
Through its regular investment in
high-end equipment and an ongoing partnership with IBM, WSI has
consistently met these demands while maintaining the highest levels
of service – definitely a point of pride for the rapidly
growing franchise network. “We project even more growth through
the 4th quarter of this year,” states Lewis “and further
spending on hardware and staffing to meet that growth” he
concludes. To keep things running smoothly, all of WSI’s
systems are monitored 24 hours a day, 7 days a week by experienced
I.T. professionals, including Microsoft Certified System Administrators.
Bob Lewis, WSI’s Chief Technology
Officer brings 20 years of I.T. experience from Fortune 500 companies
including Merrill Lynch, Aetna Life Insurance and the Bank of
Nova Scotia. His background includes all areas of application
development, project management, server and database management.
Looking ahead, Lewis is excited about expanding WSI’s network
capabilities by bringing on new internet traffic routing hubs
in selected countries, further enhancing the speed and reliability
of the company’s services.

Monthly Traffic to WSI Franchise Corporate Website Hits Record
High.
Reports on 3/18/2004
By utilizing the same technologies
that helped to establish online success for their clients, WSI
Franchise own corporate website (www.wsicorporate.com) now receives
more traffic than any other franchise website in the world.
With over a half billion hits per
month on its network, WSI Franchise, the global leader in providing
Internet Solutions to small- and medium-sized businesses is leading
by example. Through its commitment to innovation, education, and
customer satisfaction, WSI Franchise rapid growth has made its
corporate website one of the most frequently visited online destinations
in the franchising industry.
“It’s amazing to see just
how much traffic our corporate site gets now,” says WSI Chief
Executive Officer Louis Zalany. “To say over half a billion
hits a month, it takes a minute for the scope of that number to
really sink in.” With its rapidly growing network of Internet
Consultants operating throughout the world, wsicorporate.com acts
as a centralized starting point for the company’s franchisees,
potential franchisees and customers alike. Filled with details
about WSI Franchise products, services and unique methodology,
the corporate site provides valuable information to potential
clients, often introducing them to WSI Franchise for the first
time and generating leads for WSI’s many franchisees. The
explosive growth of visitor traffic to the WSI site confirms what
the company has been telling its clients for years; the Internet
is the single most important communications tool of our time and
business owners the world over want to learn how to leverage its
power.
Still a comparatively new player
in the world of franchising, WSI has easily surpassed one of the
most successful companies in the history of franchising, McDonald’s,
in terms of global Internet traffic. As of January 2004, WSI was
ranked 5,519 sites ahead of the industry giant according to a
leading website traffic analyst. Even more remarkable is the large
margin between WSI and other top franchises as listed by Entrepreneur
magazine. WSI Franchise corporate site has a commanding 14,000
site lead over fast-food franchise Subway, and as the “Top
Ten” progresses, major international brands fall even farther
behind the Internet Solutions provider.
When presented with these latest
numbers, newly-appointed WSI Chief Operating Officer Ron McArthur
chose to focus instead on what is yet to come. “As we continue
to develop as a company, our global traffic and thereby our international
brand exposure will increase,” states McArthur. “Passing
half a billion hits per month is a great accomplishment, but we’ll
be all the happier when we grow to surpass a billion hits each
month, and beyond. Our goal is to continue to work hard in order
to remain the leading brand in Internet Consulting and to provide
our clients with the opportunity to be amongst the leaders in
their respective fields.”
By already surpassing franchise industry
giants, WSI Franchise has shown that a combination of innovative
technology and proven business systems can accelerate any business
into a position of advantage. With this knowledge at hand, WSI’s
international network of Internet Consultants will continue to
teach small-to mid-size businesses how to compete with, and even
surpass, their large scale competition in the online marketplace.

WSI Internet Consultant, Troy
Ireland, Wins U.S. National Businessman of the Year Award.
Reports on 7/1/2003
Those looking for an example of the
high caliber of professionals representing WSI need only look
to New Jersey-based Internet Consultant Troy Ireland. Ireland
was recently named the 2003 Businessman of the Year by the National
Republican Congressional Committee’s Small Business Advisory
Council.
Each year, the Advisory Council honors
up-and-coming businesspeople from every State who have each made
a significant contribution to the success of their business sector.
From these Regional nominees, a national award is given to one
exceptional professional; this year’s winner was Troy Ireland.
In just over a year, Ireland has
grown his WSI Internet Consultancy franchise into a leading supplier
of Internet Services for businesses. In addition to supplying
web solutions to international clientele, his company offers advanced
web development, web copywriting, opt-in marketing services and
his specialty, Search Engine Optimization (SEO). His business
has become so successful, he says, that he had to decline his
invitation to Congress to accept his award in person due to scheduling
conflicts.
According to Ireland, “WSI introduced
[me] to all this success”. “It gives you a great foundation,
with all the business processes and methodology you need to succeed
[and] it’s flexible enough that you can take it where you
want.” By focusing on measurable results – a vital component
of the brand’s Internet Solutions Lifecycle™ –
Ireland says his clients have come to expect a solid return on
their investment, making them return customers and generating
substantial referrals.
When asked about any other key strategies
that have contributed to his success, he listed continuous learning
and the ability to market oneself effectively as top priorities.
“Talk to as many people as you can, learn as much as you
can from people, about their needs, about their business. And
don’t neglect to use the same technologies you’d use
to market your clients’ businesses to market your own!”
In addition to recognizing exceptional
members of the small business community like WSI's Troy Ireland,
the Advisory Council’s mandate is to advise the U.S. House
of Representatives, the Senate and the President of the impact
legislation has on Small Business.

Internet Empire Rises out of the
Dot-Com Ruins.
Reports on 4/17/2003
Toronto Canada - Like a Phoenix
rising from the ashes of the Dot-Com industry, WSI Internet is
turning other companies’ Internet failures into newfound
profits. “Our position is simple,” explains Louis Zalany,
WSI’s Chief Executive Officer, “most websites don’t
work, and our unique systems turn these Internet failures into
success stories…day in and day out.”
It all started in Toronto Canada
in 1995 and today, with over 700 franchised offices serving small
to medium sized businesses in 87 countries internationally, WSI
is rated the world’s #1 Internet Franchise. This #1 ranking,
bestowed upon WSI by Entrepreneur Magazine in it’s annual
Franchise 500 report, is also accompanied by WSI’s ranking
as the 14th fastest growing franchise of any kind in the United
States.
So what drives all of this growth
in an industry that has been literally decimated by the bursting
of the dot com bubble? According to WSI, it’s their results.
“The Dot Com bubble was built on a fairy tale theory that
the Internet would magically materialize new profits for any business
with a website.” proclaims Zalany, “It’s taken
most companies a few years to figure out that their half-baked
strategies aren’t working, and that’s where we come
in.”
Zalany’s way of getting the
word out to small and medium sized businesses might seem a bit
shocking, considering WSI is in the business of developing websites.
They’ve deployed a “virtual soapbox” strategy by
registering the domain http://www.websitesdontwork.com. Here they
set the record straight on some of the common misconceptions small
business people have about the web. “Without a complete analysis
of a company’s business it’s impossible to best develop
or deploy a business strategy. Our Internet Business AnalysisTM
examines all aspects of a client’s business and then identifies
Hidden Profit Centers within their business that they can exploit
through the Internet.”
And exploit they have. Every year
WSI develops thousands of websites through a global network of
almost a dozen certified production centers located in low cost,
high-tech regions like Asia-Pacific and Central America. This
production network is all tied together through a central business
management software system known as MAPS. “MAPS was initially
developed in conjunction with the Canadian Government as a Master
Production System (hence the acronym MAPS)” states Bob Lewis,
WSI’s Chief Technology Officer, “but it soon became
more than just the ‘nerve center’ that managed the production
side of an Internet Consultant’s business. Today it represents
a complete business system that controls everything, including
the Internet Consultant’s marketing, web development and
back end hosting environment.”
WSI’s business processes are
so unique and sophisticated that they are now patent-pending with
the US Patent and Trademark office. But surprisingly, when recruiting
new franchisees WSI is not looking for technical people. “Our
success is built on proven business processes.” asserts Zalany,
“Success in this business is not dependent on any person’s
background. We look to attract the best caliber of people possible,
but we don’t look for any specific technical expertise. Our
comprehensive training system ensures that each franchisee is
certified as an Internet Consultant with all the skills necessary
to deploy our systems and deliver results for their clients.”
While WSI is locking up market share
around the world, International Data Corporation is predicting
that spending on technology to support web initiatives will more
than double to 2.2 trillion by the end of 2004. While the ashes
of its competitors are still warm, this phoenix is rising and
bringing over 700 franchisees and their clients along for the
ride!
