Loop Wireless appoints Martin Hoffman as CEO prior to float
20 December, 2006
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Sydney, Australia) - Loop Wireless today announced the appointment of Martin Hoffman as CEO and Managing Director in the lead-up to its proposed IPO on the ASX early in 2007.
Mr Hoffman was CEO of Ninemsn from 2003 to July 2006. In this role he consolidated its position as Australia’s leading new media company, while also rapidly growing revenue and profit. Mr Hoffman has a strong background in Australia’s new media industry. He previously held senior roles at Fairfax Business Magazines and Fairfax Digital between 1999 and 2002, including starting and building the online auction business SOLD.com.au before its sale to Yahoo! in early 2001 for $24m cash.
Loop Wireless is a leading global provider of social networking services on 3G mobile networks. Mr Hoffman said he was attracted to the role by the innovation and international potential of Loop Wireless. “I am tremendously excited by the challenge to build a global service based on Australian technology and smarts. Loop is well positioned to capitalise on both the worldwide growth in 3G mobile networks, and people’s desire to express themselves in new ways.”
Loop Wireless is a wholly owned subsidiary of AdultShop.com Ltd. On 13 December, AdultShop announced to the ASX its intention to spin-off Loop, subject to shareholder and regulatory approvals. Loop will be seeking to raise up to $5m.
Loop Wireless founder and Director of Technology and Product, Mr Ian Rodwell, welcomed Mr Hoffman’s leadership in preparation for the potential IPO. “The whole Loop team is thrilled to have Martin join us. His experience and achievements in new media, including at Ninemsn will give us a huge boost,” said Mr Rodwell.
Loop’s flagship service, Kink Kommunity, operates on Hutchison 3, in both Australia and the UK as an integrated community. Loop is in advanced discussions for the rollout of its services with other carriers in Australasia, USA, Canada, Europe, and Scandinavia.
Mr Hoffman will commence his position at Loop Wireless effective 15 January.

Innovate: Sqware Peg's Measure of Marketing Wins
SQWARE PEG WAS FOUNDED in 2003 by Shawn Stilwell. In June this year, his company acquired a marketing and public relations firm, MarketingFX, whose principal consultant is William Scully-Power.
With the acquisition came a set of marketing skills, clients and, more importantly, a new business model, agency On-Demand. The agency provides the expertise for businesses to get the most out of their marketing in the Salesforce.com software platform.
Salesforce.com is an innovative web-based customer relationship management service. Unlike conventional software, which must be installed at business premises, Salesforce.com delivers its software over the internet and can be accessed through a standard web browser. Businesses subscribe rather than purchase. (See “All in the delivery”, page 46.)
Similarly, Sqware Peg agency On-Demand provides Salesforce.com subscribers with campaign and measurement services. The service is facilitated by a “marketing success manager” whose role is to run and measure customers’marketing campaigns using Salesforce.com.
According to Scully-Power, agency On-Demand provides additional leads and marketing automation services, such as search-engine marketing, direct marketing, public relations and event management.
This way, it deals with the biggest challenge in marketing: consistently measuring return on investment across a number of campaigns and channels. Scully-Power credits its success to its ability to let customers see what happens inside a marketing campaign while it is occurring.
“When a customer goes from zero to full visibility, they are not switching us off,” he says. Marketing managers are better able to justify budgets when they have greater visibility.
“We use Salesforce.com as a differentiator. What used to be exported and lost in translation is now run within the one platform and compiled with a number of services to provide an integrated result.”
Stilwell was the first developer to build a text-messaging application for Salesforce.com’s third-party development platform, AppExchange. The SMS application has a number of important companies using its products.
Vodafone, NRMA and Commonwealth Bank are marquee clients of agency On-Demand.
For Sqware Peg, being the most experienced partner for Salesforce.com in the Asia-Pacific region has its advantages, especially when Salesforce.com announced its l000th customer in the region. Stilwell expects good growth as users become more familiar with its functions.
“Most customers are yet to derive all the value they can from the platform,” he says. Stilwell believes he can take the business model to any platform based on internet standards. “If it’s a web service, we can deliver our subscription. Our technology is based on common standards-based protocols — for us to migrate from Saleseforce.com to Microsoft or any other platform is not hard.”

Mashups make services flow
Ben Woodhead
NOVEMBER 21, 2006
GARTNER Research vice-president Nick Gall says terms and ideas such as mashups and wikis sound new-fangled, but the basic drivers of Web 2.0 have been around since the mid-1990s, and they are relevant to any organisation."There isn't much in the way of new technology here, it's just a deeper appreciation, a deeper understanding, of how web technologies can be put to new uses," Gall told last week's Gartner Symposium ITxpo in Sydney.
Gall describes Web 2.0 as the online equivalent of the open source movement and says its successes lie in the use of simple processes that can be read and reused by many organisations.
He points to major companies, including Amazon and Salesforce.com as businesses that have tapped into the movement to build web services that can be used by any organisation, from a micro-business to a major corporation.
"One thing we like to focus on is not just the coding standards and interface standards and so on, but some of the architectural principles underlying them -- the core web architectural principles that are really driving the way a lot of the Web 2.0 sites are structured," Gall says. "To give it a name, we call it web-oriented architecture.
"The basic idea here is that it's a form of service-oriented architecture that's more lightweight than a traditional enterprise SOA," he says.
One of the keys to making web services more accessible is using web addresses (URLs) and URIs (uniform resource identifiers) to identify data.
Many organisations have begun using standards such as XML, but so many are still relying on proprietary identifiers, which make it impossible to hook into their web services without first learning what the identifiers mean, Gall says.
"What makes something reusable is that it's generic."
Companies are also using too many verbs to define actions, such "get customer", "get product", "create product" and "add line item", he says.
Instead, they should rely on the basic descriptors of "get", "update", "create", "add" and "delete" and let URLs and URIs embedded in the web service decide on the specific action.
Gall says Salesforce.com's AppExchange project is a shining example of how Web 2.0 principles could simplify the transmission of web services and make applications more interoperable. AppExchange hosts about 400 third-party applications that can be download and plugged into Saleforce.com's customer relationship management system.
"Salesforce.com only uses 17 verbs, 17 operations for every business activity on its site," Gall says. "Compare that with where you're going with your web service definitions.
"If they can do all of the business functionality that's available through third parties and through Salesforce with only 17 verbs, why do some of us have 170 verbs, or 200, or 400."

Sqware Peg Expands into On-Demand Sales Compensation Solutions
Partners with Xactly Corporation to Deliver Visibility into Sales Compensation Management Processes
(SYDNEY, Australia) 15 November 2006 – Sqware Peg (www.sqwarepeg.com), the leading Asia-Pacific Premiere Consulting Partner of salesforce.com (NYSE:CRM) and the leading provider of on-demand customer relationship management (CRM) services and solutions, today announced it has signed a strategic partnership agreement with Xactly Corporation, the leader in automated on-demand sales compensation management solutions. The partnership with Xactly is part of a comprehensive strategy in response to strong demand for on-demand sales compensation solutions among businesses throughout the Asia-Pacific region.
Xactly Incent™ is used by sales and finance executives, compensation analysts, sales operations and sales professionals. Its rules-based, services-oriented architecture enables customers to quickly build all types of compensation plans and manage incentive compensation with minimum initial investment and low cost of ownership.
“Sqware Peg customers are global businesses whose needs include visibility into and governance of their sales compensation management processes,” said Shawn Stilwell, managing director of Sqware Peg. “To this end, Sqware Peg is making a concerted effort to accelerate its business and deliver on-demand sales compensation management solutions to customers throughout the Asia-Pacific region. A strategic partnership with Xactly is a critical step in that process.”
While Xactly Incent is a stand alone application, it is also tightly integrated with salesforce.com’s Salesforce. Using the patent-pending Incentive Estimator™ feature in Xactly Incent, Salesforce users can calculate in real-time “what-if” scenarios based on Salesforce opportunities and estimate commission and bonus payments before, during and after a sale. From Xactly Incent, sales can quickly access the Salesforce opportunities of interest by using filters on information such as date and probability of closure to see what their commissions could be if they closed forecasted deals.
Still other companies are leveraging Xactly Incent via salesforce.com’s AppExchange, on which the Xactly Incent application became available in May 2006. Xactly Incent has quickly become the leading on-demand sales compensation solution on AppExchange and has secured a number of customers, including CNET, NetQoS, QuoteRetriever.com, BlueArc Corporation, PostX, WageWorks, Inc., Sylantro Systems, Weight Loss Partners, Riverbed and SchoolDude.com. These companies now benefit from on-demand sales compensation management within their Salesforce implementations. Sqware Peg now has access and provides immediate value to many of salesforce.com’s approximately 24,800 customers and approximately 501,000 paying subscribers.
“Sales compensation management is the perfect complement to CRM, and we are now seeing an increased customer demand in this area as both technologies are critical to a salesperson’s ability to perform his or her job successfully,” Stilwell added. “What attracted us to focus our selection and partner with Xactly Corporation was the company’s unprecedented technology leadership and sales compensation domain expertise, as well as Xactly Incent’s flexibility, ease of use, multi-currency support and tight integration with Salesforce.”
Xactly is the first and only company completely focused on delivering a 100% on-demand sales compensation management solution. It is also the first and only company to deliver a true multi-tenant solution in a SAS 70, Type II certified environment. This single-minded approach enables Sqware Peg to minimise hardware and software infrastructure costs – savings that are then passed on to customers – and accelerate the process by which it delivers new features and functionality.
Prior to the advent of Xactly Incent, companies had to rely on spreadsheets to manage sales compensation or alternative enterprise solutions which were simply too expensive, time consuming and difficult to implement for all but the largest companies. Xactly Incent’s on-demand approach has resulted in companies for the first time being able to realise the power and benefits of an enterprise sales compensation application at a fraction of the cost and avoid all the headaches associated with enterprise applications – lengthy and expensive implementations, large up-front software license and maintenance fees, costly hardware and complex upgrades.

About Xactly Corporation
Xactly Corporation delivers automated on-demand sales compensation applications that enable companies to incent right and sell more. In today’s spreadsheet paradigm, companies tend to simplify or unnecessarily complicate their incentive programs. These programs, delivered with no real-time visibility, often leave the sales force unmotivated, resulting in unpredictable results. Xactly Incent allows companies to easily and affordably design, implement, manage and audit optimized incentive programs. With these improved programs in place, Xactly Incent provides sales with unprecedented real-time visibility via the web, as well as comprehensive data management and analytics capabilities. The combination of the right incentives with complete visibility motivates sales to sell more. For more information, visit www.xactlycorp.com or call 1-866-GO-XACTLY.
