We've stopped using 3rd party analytics such as services like google analytics. What are your thoughts on companies taking your analytics and reselling them/making them available to the public? I'll show you more on how analytics can impact your valuation? on January 12

In the past we've used Google Analytics, but I was understanding more about why Google offers them for free. There is a lot of insight that can be sold and used as leveraged against your company in the event of liquidation. Are you using private analytics for the web? Thoughts? on August 31

Well, you get red carpet VIP at Hawthorne Race Course, courtesy of me, use it! Take Lorenzo Carver and drop my name all over the place. We're going to do some big rock concerts there starting with our opening on Oct 1 with live thoroughbred racing. Sorry everybody about that!

Lee Syrjanen at 08:40am August 05

Thanks Gene, I don't think anyone here has ever been Red Carpet VIP for anything... It is much appreciated!

It's Friday and almost weekend time. Our CEO should be having a baby any minute now. Well... he's not having the baby, but he had something to do with it I suppose. NeuStep wishes Raph and Tracy good luck! on July 30

Happy Tuesday. If you or anyone you know have a business in the River North area of Chicago, have them contact us right away. We're about to roll out an initiative that could be a pretty sweet deal for them. If you don't know anyone there, have a great Tuesday anyway. on July 27

Hey Lee, give the Tokyo girlz a Sharpie, they seem to like that! They don't care if you're in the band or the movie or whatever. They just want your autograph, so give it to them. Hope all is well with you and yours Lee! -Gene

Lee Syrjanen (Development and Channel Marketing Manager)

I have just acquired a Making the Band audition tape of one of our team members. It's from 1999 and probably top 5 funniest things I've ever seen. Is anyone interested in seeing this? on July 15

A short little read on how our Hotspot App can help your business, that is if you do in fact own a business. If you don't, you should read it anyway and tell someone you know that does. Happy Thursday everyone! http://eepurl.com/HhOx on July 08

I'm back! Was out in Vegas doing research! Lots and lots of research. Unfortunately, I forgot most of it and will need to go back to refresh my memory.

Lee Syrjanen (Development and Channel Marketing Manager)

NeuStep would like to wish everyone a happy holiday weekend. Stay safe out there. If you're lighting fireworks and one of the fuses happens to go out, wait a few minutes before running up and lighting it again, it personally hasn't worked out for me on more than one occasion. on July 02

Company description

NeuStep has solved the most detrimental of problems plaguing the virtual tour market through the release of its WebWalk technology. Developed as a compliment to Google's widely popular Street View technology, WebWalk allows a user to seamlessly “walk-through” a location while retaining the ability to look in any direction, (360-view), at any point along the path. Instead of hording the technology internally, NeuStep has created the WebWalk platform, (http://www.webwalk.com), to empower freelance photographers and virtual media companies to service their own local markets.

Team

NeuCompanies(the holding company of NeuStep) is being managed full-time by a teamof individuals with various backgrounds in engineering, technology,marketing and business management. They have considerable workexperience in a variety of environments (military to startups to BlueChips), and have effectively managed many business ideas and turnedthem into profitable business initiatives. The team is supported byseveral influential business executives in the private sector as well.

Business model

NeuStep has shifted from being a full-service media company to a software licensing company. This shift empowers virtual tour providers and photographers to provide WebWalk technology within the real estate industry as well additional industries.

Competitive advantage

NeuStep’sinvestment in 6 years of research and development hasensured a very high barrier to entry for competitors. The continuedleveraging of business relationships created through this businessmodel will secure a pipeline for quick deployment of next-generationNeuStep offerings, already in development.
