Drag&Tag Joins Bullhorn Marketplace

Boston, MA (Vocus/PRWEB) January 18, 2011

Bullhorn®, a global leader in online staffing and recruiting agency software, announced today the complete integration with Drag&Tag, a recruiting software company providing collaborative research technology that integrates browsers, professional networks, and user tearsheets (hotlists). Available through the Bullhorn Marketplace, Drag&Tag enables users to import client and candidate information from the web directly into Bullhorn, while seamlessly integrating web-based and social media tools with users’ existing workflows.

“Recruiters typically use the internet to search for information about clients, prospects and candidates, then manually create or update records in Bullhorn. If a consultant is busy, the records may not be completed accurately, or worse, not added at all,” explained Guy Rubin, Managing Director of Drag&Tag. “Drag&Tag is a ‘must have’ toolbar for Bullhorn customers that provides a slicker business process - capturing and storing critical information within the CRM in seconds.”

In addition, the integration enables customers to categorize, make notes on web pages (such as client job posting pages) and de-duplicate client and candidate records before entering the data into Bullhorn. With detailed activity reports, business owners benefit from real-time management, giving them more control and visibility into consultants’ activities and enabling them to drive best practices.

Drag&Tag is available via the Bullhorn Marketplace, a destination that gives staffing and recruiting agencies access to an extensive range of software applications and services, all of which are fully integrated with Bullhorn. All Marketplace partner applications are accessible online and help recruiters streamline every aspect of their business – from background checks and payroll to accounting system integration and sourcing – to drive bottom-line results.

“We are very excited to introduce Drag&Tag’s powerful technology to our growing roster of Bullhorn Marketplace apps and services,” said David Beaver, Director of Alliances and Business Development at Bullhorn. “With so much of today’s recruiting and sales activity on the web, our clients will greatly benefit from capturing this data and utilizing it to better drive their businesses.”

Real Story Group Finds Web CMS Marketplace Is Diverging

Boston, MA / Washington, D.C. / The Hague, NL / Delhi, IN (Vocus/PRWEB) January 19, 2011

The Web Content Management (CMS) marketplace is dividing into two distinct segments – Platforms and Products – which present different risks and opportunities for customers, according to new research released today by independent analyst firm Real Story Group (formerly CMS Watch).

Platform-oriented CMS tools require more development time and resources, but yield more power. Product-oriented offerings can be launched more quickly, but lack long-term flexibility.

Platform-oriented WCM Vendors

Platform-oriented CMS vendors are engaged in an escalating “features arms race” to adopt more new media functionality and maintain higher price points against substantial pressure from increasingly impressive product-oriented WCM vendors (see next section).

“There are some key exceptions here,” notes Real Story Group founder Tony Byrne. “The largest ‘enterprise’ vendors continue to be distracted by broader Document & Records Management ambitions and their CMS tools tend to exhibit slow innovation and update cycles.”

Real Story Group’s “Web Content Management 2011 Cross-Check™” charts represent four key dimensions -- Size, Focus, Vendor Evolution, and Product Development -- that supplement functional and cost/value analyses in any major procurement decision.

Product-oriented WCM Vendors

The major themes for product-oriented vendors are profusion and steady progress. Most of these vendors are doing well in the marketplace, which contributes to the highly fragmented nature of this space.

“With respect to risk, these tools tend to be less turbulent in terms of product updates,” says Real Story Group Analyst Apoorv Durga. “Customers are more likely to face institutional/vendor risk here, given that these are mostly smaller companies or open source projects undergoing transition.”

In the end, each buying organization must balance its appetite for change and risk against a vendor’s orientation. “What represents a high risk to one customer may represent a chance for innovation and a competitive advantage to another,” notes Real Story Group Analyst, Adriaan Bloem. “Alternatively, what represents a staid and slow-moving product set to one customer may represent stability and low risk to another.”
