Introducing an exciting new partnership with Access MBA

Access MBA is a premium provider of MBA fairs with unique one-on-one sessions between candidates and admissions officers.

I am proud to announce this new strategic partnership with Access MBA from the Advent Group. The synergies between our two entities are natural: with its MBA fairs and magazines, Access MBA is a key instigator of relevant physical meetings between prospects and MBA Programmes; Etheryl typically provides the subsequent building blocks to process and manage those candidates with NetApply CRM and NetVestibule.
As part of this partnership, Etheryl will supply the technology to power the new Access MBA Network, a premium community platform that will extend candidate-to-candidate and candidate-to-institution interactions before and after the actual fairs. Naturally, we will be leveraging our award-winning NetVestibule engine to drive this platform.
My team and I look forward to a long and fruitful collaboration with Christophe Coutat and his team.

Featured customer: Manchester Business School

Today we would like to salute Manchester Business School and their admissions and alumni team. Indeed, over the past 12-15 months, MBS has embraced our original vision of a Student Lifecycle Continuum, and is on the brink to unveil one of the first if not the only true continuum worthy of such definition. Initially, the MBA admissions team selected NetApply to replace its former provider; the distance learning branch (MBS Worldwide) also picked up a license of NetApply. Then NetVestibule was introduced to welcome the select MBA candidates admitted by the AdCom, but also to help transform them into students and therefore increase the so-important yield. Later, they introduced our pre-applicant inquiry form that helps identify hot-prospects in order to entice them to apply with a personalized and pre-filled PDF application. Within a month, MBS will be rolling out our NetVestibule for Alumni module, gradually servicing up to 20 000 alumni...

We are thrilled to be working with MBS and look forward to visiting them in the great city of Manchester which is just an hour away from Paris by plane.

Introducing www.etheryl.fr

Etheryl had been offering its services in English only since its creation in 2001. With the advent of NetVestibule localisation in French, we are now poised to service our markets in France at large and at last! www.etheryl.fr is now available to serve that purpose. There is a lot more to be done still as translation is not sufficient. Indeed, the French market has a lot of specifics that we need to address in the marketing material: les grandes écoles et leurs concours, concours parallèles, etc... A mettre dans vos favoris!!!

Etheryl Testimonial

The response time at Etheryl during the past 20 months I have worked with them has been constistently excellent. I often wonder how they do that...
In addition to the services that they provide, and provide well, they are always thinking of the next step, how improvements could be made or superior features added, and outside of the box in general. They understand their customer and their customer's customer, and this makes working with them a pleasure.

ETHERYL celebrates its third anniversary

Our 3rd fiscal year just closed. We are expecting a strong balance sheet, with sustained revenue growth. With our mature product line spanning the entire student lifecycle (the NetVestibule Continuum), the innovative and paradigm changing NetApply, and the soon to be localized NetVestibule (in French first, other languages to follow), we are now ready to cast a wider prospection net. Still, our focus remains; relevant offering, anticipation-based service and maintenance, stellar return on investment.

NetVestibule brings impressive ROI to our customers

One of our customers in academia recently examined the value of our NetVestibule solution (for the recent September 2004 intake). The findings have been rather impressive: not only did the solution directly help save about half its cost, but it also helped improve the yield by a significant amount thus recovering up to half a million euros of tuition fees! The NetVestibule ROI is typically very positive - but in the current case, it is obviously multi-fold and therefore remarkable.

NetVestibule wins Cap Gemini Ernst & Young Innovation Award

BARCELONA – The European Business Plan of the Year 2001 took place on June 18th and 19th at the IESE campus in Barcelona, hosting 13 teams from 13 top European business schools. The event staged various teams to present their business plans to a panel of industry, banking and consulting professionals. On the first day, the judges were asked to select the 6 finalists which were to present again on the following day for a final selection of 4 prize recipients. A first classical stream of awards was to be allocated to the most promising business plans, with a winner, a first and a second runner-up. These were respectively awarded to Imperial College, IESE Barcelona, and London Business School. Another type of award was to be granted to the most innovative business plan. This year, INSEAD took home the Cap Gemini Ernst & Young Innovation Award with the NetVestibule business plan.

Christoph Zott, Assistant Professor of Entrepreneurship at INSEAD, had selected and coached a “winner team” that was already formed within the New Ventures elective class. Led by Yann Lechelle, the NetVestibule team (pictured left) also comprising Neela Murkherjee, Laszlo Kreiner and Felix Vogler, demonstrated at the competition an innovative product and development plan likely to pioneer a new market. In a nutshell, the NetVestibule product offers an all-in-one ASP solution for the admissions departments of higher education institutions that wish to offer an interactive and online platform to their admitted candidates, a sort of highly specialized e-CRM system. Once in place, this platform allows the incoming class to optimize its logistics in a peer-to-peer fashion before reaching campus, leveraging the network effect that the embryonic community can provide, but also accelerating the creation of the network itself. This type of platform is especially useful for institutions like INSEAD, with a student population coming from all over the planet, and spanning over 70 nationalities. In fact, the INSEAD prospects have been benefiting from this platform since 2000.
