Re-Elect Valley for Mayor
Brought to you by The Committee to Re-Elect James Valley, Mayor
www.valleyformayor.com

Valley for Mayor is the official re-election website for James F. Valley, Helena – West Helena, Arkansas’ Incumbent Mayor and local attorney. Since Mr. Valley’s victory in the previous election he has worked very hard in establishing Arkansas’ newest city as a competitor again for commerce and industry. Mayor Valley was also pivotal in the drive to have Helena and West Helena consolidated.

“In addition to James being a long-time client, he has also been a good friend for several years.” said Rohrscheib. “James is a very intelligent person, and an extremely hard worker that knows how to rally people to work together for a common goal.”

While the Valley for Mayor website was launched this week, there are some components of the website that will be following in the weeks to come. “We have officially launched the website, but a lot of the functionality hasn’t been developed just yet. With Mayor Valley currently in office, the time that we get to spend w/ him is limited so there are items we are waiting on that will have to come later such as content for some sections of the website. Also, we are awaiting processor information for his campaign contributions module,”

“Currently the site isn’t barren though, we do have a large number of photographs available online from the past term that were provided by Mayor Valley’s Office, as well as a few family photos of Mayor Valley. The photos section will also see quite a few new photos added on a daily basis as we get closer to the election. A new section has also been added to the site this year that will allow voters and constituents the opportunity to create an account and interact with Mayor Valley about any issues they would like to discuss,” said Rohrscheib, who assists Mayor Valley in monitoring the site’s blog traffic.

In addition to launching these two new projects, the Pleth, LLC development team has been very busy as of late. Last Month, a major development project for Wal-Mart sponsored Hofi, Inc. Kids All-American Fishing was launched. The Team has continued to monitor the solution with the client to iron out any bugs that might exist with a new solution this detailed.

New Contracts Announced…

Stephen Smart, Founding Partner of Pleth, LLC also announced today that three new clients had signed Contracts with Pleth, LLC to begin work on web development projects. These new clients include: the New York Based, InternetLawFirm.com, the Oklahoma Association of Health Care Providers, and Hagan’s Auto, located in Morrilton, Arkansas with a new location opening very soon.

To better serve its patients and to make medical information more accessible to the region, White River Health System launched a new Web site, www.whiteriverhealthsystem.com, today.
According to hospital officials, health care consumers use the resources of the Internet for information about specific health conditions and for advice on healthy lifestyle choices. The totally redesigned site incorporates all the facilities and services of WRHS in one convenient location with a universal resource locator name that better describes the organization. New information and updates are posted to the site daily.


“We wanted the community to be able to research the services offered by our system and access health education and community links all at one site,” said Rachael Fisher, Web site manager. “The page with photos of new babies is one of the most popular features of any hospital Web site. We are confident that parents, families and friends of babies born at WRMC (White River Medical Center) will be pleased with the new look on this page.”

E-mail addresses of hospital staff will not change.

WRHS partnered with Pleth, LLC, a local Web hosting firm six months ago to begin the redesign process. WRHS retained the services of a professional web hosting firm to increase traffic and improve the navigational quality of the site. Features of the new site include a site search engine where individuals can locate health care services, facility specific information, physician office information and more.

A calendar of events will feature happenings within the health system such as childbirth education, seminars and health screenings. Facility specific information is available for all WRHS divisions, White River Medical Center, Stone County Medical Center, rural health clinics and long term care.

PCI Compliance & Credit Card Acceptance

I guess that Credit Card Fraud, Chargebacks, etc. finally is getting the best of Credit Card Companies… We learned while we were out in Vegas that PCI compliance would soon become a requirement from any online vendor that is accepting credit cards online by both MasterCard and Visa. I have to say that I am not surprised and sort of glad to see it. It will help to weed through the fly-by-nights that are out there…

What does PCI compliance do? Well, basically it is peace of mind to a shopper that their information is not going to be compromised. Keep in mind that within the last 6 months, the federal government and a branch of the armed forces have both had their information compromised and sensitive information about members of the military and the government were leaked to the general public. In a nutshell, if an online business is a fly-by-night business and do not have their website installed properly on a secure server w/ ssl, pci compliance, etc. they are putting their customers information at risk from being hacked.

At PLETH we have always strived to have the best intrusion detection methods in place at all times for our clients. In fact, we have some big-time clients that will do some heavy sales numbers this year. In our efforts we have learned that you just can’t be on top of everything at all times but you really need to be! With this in mind, we have contracted out with the top Security Auditing Firm in the United States, ScanAlert.

ScanAlert’s signature Hacker-Safe Certification can be found on over 55% of the top 400 e-Commerce websites in the world! We are bringing them to our clients and sparing no expense in doing so. In fact, with our new partnership arrangement that was formed at our meeting in Las Vegas, it is expected that our clients will receive a larger discount than firms that work directly with ScanAlert!

Pleth will soon be launching a co-branded website with ScanAlert that promotes the Hacker Safe Certification program that will ensure that websites meet the criteria for the following:
  • HIPAA Compliance
  • PCI Compliance
Both of these certifications will be in the news a lot in the very near future…

ScanAlert’s services monitors a websites vulnerabilities 24hrs a day, 7 days a week and watches for vulnerabilities, port scanning, and network fingerprinting services that are patent pending.
HackerSafe certification is currently being sought out by the United States Government, FBI, CIA, Homeland Security, and the Marine Corps. We feel that if providing our clients with peace of mind is our number one priority. In doing so, no other security auditing firm in the United States could be brought in as a partner other than ScanAlert, they are simply the best!


If you have questions regarding PCI compliance please contact a member of our team to discuss your immediate needs. Also, stay tuned to our blog for important announcement regarding the co-branded PLETH / ScanAlert Website that will be available for one stop certification shopping.

Thanks,
Cotton Rohrscheib, Partner

Pleth, LLC Partners with ARG...

Cotton Rohrscheib, of PLETH Networks, LLC made the Announcement on Friday that his firm had partnered with Little Rock Consulting Firm, The Angela Rogers Group. “I have known Angela for a while now, when she was with the Little Rock Convention and Visitors Bureau and she has always been a hard worker. I attended her wedding last year and her husband was in mine, we are great friends. On a professional level I can attest to her work ethic, she is a leader. That’s exactly the qualities we were looking for as a strategic partner in the Little Rock Market.” said Rohrscheib.

The Angela Rogers Group was formed when Angela decided to step down from her position with the Convention and Visitors Bureau in Little Rock where she had a hand in coordinating just about every major event that has transpired in Little Rock or Central Arkansas for the past years. These events include everything from visiting Presidents to Foreign Heads of State and even Rock Concerts and World Championship Boxing Matches, and of course Little Rock is also home to many festivals and events throughout the year.

“With Angela’s years of experience she also brings a lot of creativity and logic to our team,” added Rohrscheib. “At times we (our development team), will sometimes tend to look only at the technical functionality of a project and occasionally overlook the smaller details that an end-user might pick up on right away. Angela brings that to our team, and it has made a noticeable difference already in recent projects.”

This strategic partnership has already yielded a few noteworthy projects such as the River Market’s 10th Anniversary Website that features a full slate of upcoming events and special promotions in recognition of the River Market District’s 10th Year in existence. Plans for several other promotional projects are also on the table with announcements expected in the very near future. A number of private firms located in the Little Rock Area have also contacted Pleth Networks since the news was made public about this partnership.

“Our business is so service oriented, not only do we provide web-hosting, but we also handle about 90% of our clients development work in house so we have managed to build some personal relationships with our clients, getting to know their businesses helps us to better equip them with the tools for success on the web.” said Rohrscheib.

While the name PLETH might be a new one to many members of the business community in the state, don’t be mistaken, PLETH was actually formed when an award-winning web design firm, the Powersite Design Group decided that they wanted to go into the web-hosting business. Powersite Founder, Cotton Rohrscheib, met with then-client, Stephen Smart and his brother Greg Smart, and from it’s conception the partnership has showed tremendous growth. In only a short period of time, PLETH was able to go from a small startup tech-firm to one of the largest web-hosting providers in the United States.

“I started developing websites as a hobby along about the time that Netscape was becoming a household name, I had a fascination then with the web and a good background in graphic design, but never anticipated being able to make a living doing something I love so much. I founded Powersite back in 2001 and have managed or had an active role in over 500 projects worldwide, and in 7 different languages. These projects have included everything from small business e-commerce websites to high-level government portals. Along the way I have had the opportunity to work with an impressive list of clients including a few best-selling authors, recording artists, and NASCAR drivers like Arkansas’ very own Mark Martin, who has multiple accounts with us right now. It wasn’t until Greg and Steve came on board that I noticed somewhere along the way that the industry as a whole was no longer a hobby and it had became big business with millions of dollars worth of revenue running throughout the world. As a company we have grown past all of our expectations, in fact we now have several servers located in one of the most elite data centers in the world. Our Network is located in Dallas, Texas.” added Rohrscheib. “There are plenty of web firms in the state, but I think that the one thing that has helped us to rise to the forefront of the industry is our one on one relationship that we establish with each of our clients, and our passion to see them succeed. This is why we are so proud to have a partner firm in Little Rock now that shares the same goals and principles.”
