“Many drivers want to pay less on car insurance. For that, they can follow several smart money-saving tips”, said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.


LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)

Cheapquotesautoinsurance.com has launched a new blog post that presents several ways that will help drivers save money on their car insurance rates.

Although expensive for some drivers, car insurance is a necessity for many. The penalties for driving without insurance can be severe and will reflect in the future policy premiums for many years after an uninsured driver gets caught.

In order to pay less on their car insurance, drivers can follow these tips:


  • Bundle multiple policies. Drivers can try to insure all vehicles from the household with the same insurance company in order to get a large discount. Moreover, drivers can try to insure the home with the same insurance company. Multi-policies and multi-car discounts can help policyholders save lots of money.

  • Check different discounts. Policyholders can check with their insurance agent if they are eligible for any discounts. Insurance companies are notorious for offering a great variety of discounts. The most popular discounts are the homeowner discount, good student discount, getting married discount, and other various discounts that can appear in certain situations.

  • Keep a clean driving record. Insurance companies will reward drivers that keep a clean driving record with discounts that ranges from 10% to 20%. In order to qualify for this discount, drivers need to maintain their driving record clean for a number of years, usually three to five years, depending on each insurance company.

  • Consider usage-based insurance programs. Some insurers offer usage-based programs. Drivers that enroll in a usage-based program, will have to allow the insurer to install a small telematic device in their vehicles. This device will monitor the policyholder’s driving habits. If the monitoring results are good, policyholders are eligible for better policies.

  • Consider raising deductibles. Policyholders that have full coverage can lower their insurance premium by agreeing to pay a larger deductible.

  • Check multiple online quotes. This is the best way for drivers to save money. Insurance companies don’t offer the same insurance rates, and the best way to find the best insurance is by comparing multiple online quotes.

Dental Care Alliance’s Mike Cole Honored with NADP Leadership Award

Leave a comment


“Mike Cole is a determined leader, who has served DCA’s affiliated practices and patients for more than 20 years,” commented James Nick, DCA Chief Revenue Officer. “His contributions to the industry and ability to foster meaningful relationships with insurance plans is second to none.”


SARASOTA, Fla. (PRWEB)

Encouraging a spirit of partnership and collaboration between plans and Dental Service Organizations (DSOs) has earned Michael Cole, Vice President of Insurance Plan Management for Dental Care Alliance, the 2019 Don Mayes Leadership Award, presented today by the National Association of Dental Plans (NADP) at their annual conference, CONVERGE 2019, in Orlando. This award commends exemplary service by volunteer group chairs and vice chairs with NADP association leadership spanning three or more years.

Volunteer Service

As Vice Chair of the NADP Operations WorkGroup, Cole serves as an important communications link between the WorkGroup and the DSO Advisory Council on multiple projects, including provider directory validation and credentialing.

Truly a leader by example, Cole actively participated in the development of the Provider Directory Validation process; and, his company, Dental Care Alliance, was one of the first DSOs to participate in the program.

In 2014, Mike came prepared to a face-to-face meeting of the Operations WorkGroup focused on streamlining credentialing. His notebooks, filled with credentialing requirements from multiple plans, helped to facilitate the discussion. As a result, the Operations WorkGroup developed a one-page credentialing form for member use, that is available today on the NADP website.

In his eight years as an NADP Member, Cole has also developed numerous CONVERGE educational sessions, offering both plan as well as DSO perspectives.

“Mike’s contributions to understanding and breaking down the barriers to the successful partnership of DSOs and dental plans has been critical to several NADP initiatives,” said NADP Executive Director Evelyn F. Ireland, CAE. “He is an asset to both the industry and association.”

“Mike Cole is a determined leader, who has served DCA’s affiliated practices and patients for more than 20 years,” commented James Nick, Dental Care Alliance’s Chief Revenue Officer. “His contributions to the industry and ability to foster meaningful relationships with insurance plans is second to none. We couldn’t be more proud of Mike and are grateful that the association has recognized his decades of service.”

Professional Biography

In April 1999, Mike Cole joined Dental Care Alliance (DCA), an NADP Associate Member, and one of the largest dental service organizations in the country. As Vice President of Insurance Plan Management, he oversees the teams responsible for insurance relations, revenue cycling and the credentialing departments. Prior to joining DCA, Cole was a network manager for both Prudential Healthcare and United Concordia. With more than 25 years in the dental healthcare industry, he was instrumental in fostering partnerships between DCA and the insurance plans.

Cole is a graduate of the University of Missouri – Columbia and is also a Certified Employee Assistance Professional (CEAP).

IRA Financial, leading provider of Self-Directed Retirement plans, surpasses 6,000 Solo 401(k) Plan Clients

I have written two books on the self-directed solo 401(k) plan and believe it is the most robust retirement plan for the self-employed or small business owner with no full-time employees


MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (PRWEB)

IRA Financial Group & IRA Financial Trust Company (“IRA Financial”), a leading financial technology Self-Directed IRA and Solo 401(k) plan provider & custodian, announces that is has surpassed 6,000 self-directed Solo 401(k) plans, believed to be the most in the country.

“I have written two books on the self-directed solo 401(k) plan and believe it is the most robust retirement plan for the self-employed or small business owner with no full-time employees,” says Adam Bergman, President of IRA Financial Group & IRA Financial Trust Company.

The Solo 401(k) structure, also known as the one-participant plan, allows business owners to invest in traditional as well as alternative asset investments, such as real estate, tax liens and cryptocurrency. The plan also allows participants to make higher contributions (up to $62,000 in pre-tax, after-tax, or Roth) and borrow up to $50,000 tax and penalty free.

“IRA Financial’s Solo 401(k) plan is 100% open architecture and self-directed,” explains Mr. Bergman. “IRA Financial handles all plan IRS administration for one low annual fee.”

IRA Financial, one of the country’s fastest growing providers of Self-Directed retirement plans, has helped over 16,000 clients invest over $4.5 billion in retirement funds in alternative assets through its self-directed IRA and self-directed solo 401(k) plans.

IRA Financial Group & IRA Financial Trust Company offers the Self-Directed IRA and Solo 401(k) plan platform, which allows investors to invest in IRS approved alternative asset investments digitally and with no account valuation or minimum balance fees. The primary advantage of using a self-directed solo 401(k) plan to make private IRS approved alternative asset investments, is that one can diversify their retirement assets and invest in what one knows and trusts. In addition, with a self-directed solo 401(k) plan generally all income and gains associated with the retirement account investment grow tax-deferred or tax-free in the case of a Roth solo 401(k).

“We continue to see huge demand for the self-directed solo 401(k) plan because of the multitude of exciting retirement and investment options it offers,” stated Mr. Bergman.

IRA Financial Group is the market’s fastest growing provider of self-directed retirement plans. IRA Financial Group has helped over 16,000 thousand clients take back control over their retirement funds while gaining the ability to invest in almost any type of investment, including real estate, cryptocurrency, and private business investments.

The IRA Financial Trust Company, a self-directed IRA custodian, was founded by Adam Bergman, a partner with the IRA Financial Group. Mr. Bergman is a leading expert on the taxation of retirement funds and has authored multiples articles on how to use a self-directed IRA to buy cryptocurrencies.

Adam Bergman, IRA Financial Group partner, has written seven books on the topic of self-directed retirement plans, including, “How to use Retirement Funds to Purchase Cryptocurrencies,” “Turning Retirement Funds into Start-Up Dreams,” “Solo 401(k) Plan in a Nutshell,” and “In God We Trust in Roth We Prosper.”

What are the Main Benefits of Crash Avoidance Technology

Leave a comment


News Image

“Investing in crash-avoidance technology is money well-spent. Nothing is more important than your life,” said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.


LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)

Compare-autoinsurance.org has released a new blog post that presents the benefits of crash-avoidance technology and how it can help drivers lower car insurance premiums.

For more info and free auto insurance quotes, visit https://compare-autoinsurance.org/how-crash-avoidance-technology-works-and-its-benefits/.

A high number of cars translates into a high likelihood of being involved in an accident. To decrease the odds, more and more cars are equipped with performant sensors and cameras. Crash-avoidance technology informs the driver when a car, obstacle or pedestrian gets too close. This technology will reduce the number of accidents and will save lives.

The most popular crash-avoidance systems include:

  • Frontal collision prevention. These systems are complex, comprising several sensors, radars and cameras (including night-vision cameras) and will detect nearby cars and obstacles. Some systems will automatically brake in order to prevent a collision.

  • Lane departure warning is also an extremely useful system. If the driver passes the lane lines, he will receive audio warnings. Just like in the case of frontal collision prevention, the system may take over control and guide the car to the correct lane.

  • Blind spot detectors are probably some of the most popular systems. Sensors will detect cars placed in the blind spots and will emit various luminous signals (usually on dashboard, rear camera or mirror).

  • Adaptive cruise control will measure the distance between the driver’s car and the car in front and calculate its speed. In order to maintain a safe driving distance, the system will adjust the speed of the car.

Morphisec Appoints Eric Dougherty as Chief Revenue Officer

Leave a comment


Morphisec

Morphisec is uniquely positioned to capitalize on this change in enterprise security strategies, and Eric’s extensive experience working with growth companies, as well as his track record in building successful global sales teams, makes him an ideal appointment to our leadership team.


BE’ER SHEVA, Israel and BOSTON (PRWEB)

Morphisec, the leader in Moving Target Defense, today announced it has appointed Eric Dougherty to Chief Revenue Officer (CRO). In this role, Dougherty will lead all customer acquisition, expansion and retention efforts for the company as it accelerates its growth in global markets. Morphisec has doubled the global install base of its Unified Threat Prevention platform in just over eight months to more than four million endpoints as demand skyrockets for its advanced threat protection as the ideal companion to Microsoft’s built-in Windows Defender Antivirus (AV) in more efficient enterprise security stacks.

“We’re excited to have Eric join our team as a paradigm shift is occurring in the cybersecurity market where enterprises are moving to a prevention-first model against advanced attacks as the limitations and burdens of EDR solutions becomes more apparent,” said Ronen Yehoshua, Morphisec’s CEO. “Morphisec is uniquely positioned to capitalize on this change in enterprise security strategies, and Eric’s extensive experience working with growth companies, as well as his track record in building successful global sales teams, makes him an ideal appointment to our leadership team.”

Dougherty has over two decades of experience working with growth companies in the cybersecurity, data protection, and enterprise infrastructure markets. He most recently served as VP of Americas Sales for EnterpriseDB. Prior to that, he was the SVP of worldwide sales for Unitrends. Within that role, Dougherty built the sales and channel strategy for Unitrends that resulted in a 400% growth and hitting a $100M run rate in less than four years. During his previous stints at Rapid7 and Acronis, Dougherty built go-to-market channel strategies and sales teams that led to partner expansion, customer wins, and sales growth. Dougherty also spent more than six years at Axis Communications, where his sales success as General Manager for the Americas contributed to a successful IPO in 2000.

“As enterprises move to Windows 10 they are realizing the time has come to step away from legacy antivirus tools, as well as the cost and time burden of EDR solutions,” added Dougherty. “Morphisec is reaping the benefits of the enterprise adoption of Windows Defender AV as organizations of all sizes divest themselves from redundant tools and reallocate budgets to their biggest current need — advanced threat protection. I look forward to expanding Morphisec’s sales team to meet this global demand and assisting our customers with implementing preventative endpoint security within a simpler operational environment that improves their ROI.”

About Morphisec

Morphisec delivers an entirely new level of innovation with its Moving Target Defense-powered Unified Threat Prevention Platform – placing defenders in a prevent-first posture against the most advanced threats to the enterprise, including APTs, zero-days, ransomware, evasive fileless attacks and web-borne exploits. Morphisec provides a crucial, small-footprint memory-defense layer that easily deploys into a company’s existing security infrastructure to form a simple, highly effective, cost-efficient prevention stack that is truly disruptive to today’s existing cybersecurity model.
