Outside B2B Software Sales – Commission Only

Do you know your way around a tweet? Do you understand how the power of technology affects culture? And are you clever enough to explain it all to your grandmother? Sales positions open for the social media savvy to sell our Twitter Data Mining software: http://Pro.LocalChirps.com

We are targeting our software to organizations that need to understand their community, track hot issues, and manage their online reputations.  These are exciting times and we have the innovative software products for media, political campaigns, public relations, and so on.

We are looking for independent sales contractors to sell our subscription software products, commission only. Enthusiasm, energy, and prior sales experience a must; Business-to-Business (B2B) sales a big plus.

Now offering “Amazon Web Services” Consulting

Thursday, January 28th, 2010

You heard about Cloud Computing. You thought about moving your servers and websites to the cloud. You did some research and found the leader in cloud infrastructure: AWS, Amazon Web Services (http://aws.amazon.com). You look deeper into starting an AWS system, then you realize it is overwhelmingly geeky. Yes, AWS can be a bear to setup the first time.

We are here to help. Carp Data is now offering its AWS expertise as a consulting service. We use Amazon Web Services for all our hosting and web applications. We consult with you to setup, manage, and train your staff to use all the great tools from Amazon: Elastic Cloud Computing (EC2), Elastic Block Store (EBS), Simple Storage Service (S3), Relational Database Service (RDS), and so on.

An Amazon server, now called a “node” in the cloud, starts around $75/month with full root access. Build a web farm with load balancing and a redundant relational database for less than $250/month at Amazon.  Great commodity pricing, however, doesn’t help if you don’t have the resources to implement the plan.  That’s where we come in.  We consult with you every step of the way, as little or as much help as you need.

Contact Us to get started in The Cloud.
