This invention relates to a new class of surfactants characterized by high thermal and chemical stability and having the structure of polyoxapolyfluoroalkanes with sulphonic end groups, and to the processes for the preparation thereof.
Surface-active compounds whose structure consists of a fluorocarbon chain of hydrophobic nature having at one end a polar group of hydrophilic nature such as, for example, a carboxylic function (optionally in the form of a salt), a sulphonic function, an ammonium group of cationic nature, are already known in the art.
Compounds of this type are described, for example, by J. N. Simons, "Fluorine Chemistry", Academic Press., New York, 1964, Vol. V Page 370, and by N. L. Jarvis & W. A. Zisman in "Surface Chemistry of Fluoro Chemicals" in Kirk-Othmer, Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology, 2nd Edition, Interscience Publishers, New York, 1966, Vol. 9, page 707. Such classes of surfactants are characterized a hydrophobic end group such as e.g. the groups --CF3, --CF2 H, --CF2 Cl.
It has recently been disclosed that it is possible to use, as surfactants, compounds having the structure of polyoxaperfluoroalkanes, with hydrophilic terminal groups at both ends of the molecule. As described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,847,978 and in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 536,951 filed on Dec. 23, 1974, the surfactants of this type have the formula
Z[ CF2 O(C2 F4 O)m (CF2 O)n --CF2 ] Z (1)
wherein the oxyperfluoroalkylene units --C2 F4 O-- and --CF2 O are randomly distributed along the chain; m and n are integers the sum of which is a number from 2 to 50 and wherein the m/n ratio is between 0.2 and 1.5; and Z is a carboxylic group --COOH (optionally in the form of a salt) or one of the groups ##STR2## wherein R', R", R'" are alkyl radicals, R is a divalent radical having the structure --(CH2)p --, wherein p is an integer from 1 to 20, and X- is an anion.
It has now been discovered, in accordance with the present invention, that there is a new class of compounds having the characteristics of surfactants which -- in spite of their substantially polyoxapolyfluoroalkane structure -- exhibit, in comparison with the compounds described in the above-cited U.S. patent and U.S. patent application, a higher thermal and chemical stability as well as a higher solubility in water and in polar solvents, and which furthermore, retain a high surface-active power even in a strongly acid medium and/or in the presence of metal cations, especially in the presence of Ca+ + ions.
These new compounds have the formula:
A[CF2 O (C2 F4 O)m (CF2 O)n CF2]B ( 2)
wherein A is a monovalent radical --CH2 O--R--SO3 M, in which R is a divalent radical in alpha-gamma or alpha-delta position and is selected from the group consisting of alkylene, cycloalkylene, arlyene and benzylene radicals; M is an alkali metal or a hydrogen atom or an ammonium group; B is the same as A, or is the radical --CH2 OH; the oxyperfluoroalkylene units --C2 F4 O-- and --CF2 O-- are randomly distributed along the chain; m and n are integers the sum of which is a number from 2 to 50; and the m/n ratio is between 0.2 and 1.5. The radicals R may contain substituents such as halogen atoms or alkoxy radicals.
According to a further feature of the present invention, the aforesaid compounds are obtained by reacting α,ω-bis-(hydroxymethyl)polyoxaperfluoroalkanes having the formula
HO-CH2 [CF2 O-(C2 F4 O)m (CF2 O)n CF2 ]CH2 OH (3)
with a sultone of the formula ##STR3## in which R is as defined above for the compounds of formula (2).
The diols of formula (3) can be readily obtained from the corresponding dicarboxylic acids or from derivatives thereof, such as methyl esters or acyl halides, according to conventional methods; for instance by reduction with simple or complex hydrides, such as e.g. LiAlH4, in the presence of a dissolving or dispersing agent, or by catalytic reduction with hydrogen. The corresponding polyoxapolyfluoroalkane dicarboxylic acids can be obtained, according to U.S. Pat. No. 3,847,978, by reductive cleavage of the polyperoxidic-perfluoropolyethers derived from the photo-oxidation of tetrafluoroethylene, according to U.S. Pat. No. 3,715,378.
The above sultones, i.e., intermolecular esters of hydroxysulphonic acids corresponding to the following formula. ##STR4## wherein R is as defined above, represent a known class of compounds, available commercially and easily obtainable by synthesis according to known methods. Some representative examples of the hydroxysulphonic acids are:
3-hydroxy-1-propanesulphonic acid, 4-hydroxy-1-butanesulphonic acid, 3-hydroxy-1-octanesulfonic acid, 3-hydroxy-1-cyclopropanesulphonic acid, 1,2-dimethyl-3-hydroxy-1-butanesulphonic acid, 1,1,2,2-tetrachloro-3-hydroxy-1-propanesulfonic acid, 2-hydroxy-alphatoluenesulphonic acid, alpha-hydroxy-2-toluenesulphonic acid, 8-hydroxy-1-naphthalenesulphonic acid, etc.
The α ,ω-bis(hydroxymethyl)polyoxaperfluoroalkanes, corresponding to formula (3), can be employed in the reaction in pure chemical form, or in admixture with products different from one another as regards the values of the indices m and n, within the limits specified above.
The reaction between the α ,ω-bis(hydroxymethyl)polyoxaperfluoroalkanes and the sultones can be conducted with the aforementioned diols in the free state. However, it is preferable to employ them in the form of their alkali alcoholates.
The reaction employing the aforesaid diols in the free state is generally conducted in the presence of basic compounds such as, for example, anhydrous sodium carbonate; it may be conducted in the absence of solvents, or in solvents of the ether type, such as ethyl ether, dioxane, tetrahydrofuran, or in aromatic solvents such as benzene or toluene.
A preferred embodiment of the present invention consists in reacting with a sultone the α ,ω-bis(hydroxymethyl)polyoxaperfluoroalkanes in the form of their alkali alcoholates. In such case, an excess of the sultone itself can be used as a dispersant, or a primary, secondary or, preferably, a tertiary alcohol as a solvent; the sulphonic reaction product, corresponding to formula (2), is obtained in the form of e.g. the sodium salt.
The molar ratios between the sultone and the α ,ω-bis(hydroxymethyl)polyoxaperfluoroalkane may range from 0.5 to 20. Depending on such ratio and on the reaction conditions, it is possible to obtain compounds of formula (2) in which B is the same as A, or in which B is the --CH2 OH group as shown above.
The reaction temperature may range from 0� to 150� C, also depending on the solvent employed, the preferred temperature being between 30� and 70� C.
The polyoxapolyfluoroalkanesulphonic acid and the alkali salts thereof exhibit interesting properties as surfactants, soluble in water, alcohols and solutions of neutral or acidic concentrated electrolytes, such as sodium chloride, sulphuric acid and hydrochloric acid; furthermore they are soluble in aqueous alkali solutions. These characteristics render them highly suitable as surface-active, wetting, flotation, emulsifying and dispersing agents, in particular in the polymerization of aqueous emulsions of olefins and fluoroolefins, for instance ethylene and tetrafluoroethylene, as well as levelling agents, detergents and corrosion inhibitors.
The following examples are merely illustrative and are not to be regarded as limiting the scope of this invention.
4.74 g. of a mixture of diols having formula (3), i.e. HO--CH2 [CF2 O--(C2 F4 O)m (CF2 O)n CF2 ]CH2 OH, wherein the m/n ratio was 0.9 and the average molecular weight 474, determined according to the method described by J. Dandoy, A. Alloing-Bernard & C. Renson-Deneubourg in Ind. Chim. Belg. 36, 689-693 (1971), were introduced, in a dry nitrogen atmosphere, into a pyrex glass three-neck reactor having a 250 ml capacity, equipped with magnetic stirrer and reflux condenser.
1.95 g of sodium t-butylate dissolved in 50 ml of anhydrous t-butyl alcohol were added thereto.
The reaction was conducted for 2 hours at 30� C, whereupon 2.47 g of 1,3-propanesultone were admixed therewith and the whole reacted for a further 8 hours at 50� C.
The appearance of a white precipitate was observed in the course of the reaction.
At the end of the reaction and after removal of the t-butyl alcohol by distillation under a reduced pressure of 15 torr, the residue was washed with benzene and ethyl ether.
After drying by means of a mechanical pump (0.1 torr) at 50� C, 5.1 g of a white crystalline solid were obtained. This solid was completely soluble in water, showing a neutral reaction upon testing with litmus paper, and also soluble in aqueous solutions of acids and bases, as well as in alcohols.
Nuclear magnetic resonance and infrared spectroscopic analyses revealed the following structure of the product: NaO3 S(CH2)3 OCH2 --[CF2 O--(C2 F4 O)m (CF2 O)n CF2 ]CH2 O(CH2)3 SO3 Na, in which m/n = 0.9.
The product proved to highly surface-active, as shown by the data reported below, which relate to the surface tension of aqueous solutions thereof at different concentrations:
______________________________________ Surface tension at 20� CConcentration (% by weight) (dynes/cm)______________________________________0.001 550.01 380.1 25______________________________________
The product, when dissolved in H2 SO4 at 50% by weight, proved to be capable of lowering the surface tension of the solution to 25 dynes/cm at 20� C, even at concentrations as low as 0.01% by weight. The original aqueous solution at 50% by weight of H2 SO4 exhibited a surface tension of 79.2 dynes/cm.
Following the same procedures as in Example 1, 10.6 g of a mixture of diols corresponding to formula (3), having an m/n ratio = 1.2 and an average molecular weight of 1060, were reacted with 1.97 g of sodium t-butylate dissolved in 100 ml of t-butyl alcohol and then with 2.47 g of 1,3-propanesultone. 10.2 g of a white powder were obtained. This was soluble in water with a neutral reaction to litmus paper, and soluble in aqueous solutions of alkalis and acids as well as in alcohols.
The compound had the structure shown in formula (2), wherein A = B = --CH2 O(CH2)3 SO3 Na and m/n = 1.2.
A 2% solution by weight of the product exhibited a surface tension of 28 dynes/cm at 20� C.
The compound, when dissolved in a 0.5% by weight solution of H2 SO4 at 10%, lowered the solution surface tension to 25 dynes/cm at 20� C. The original aqueous solution of H2 SO4 at 10% by weight had a surface tension of 73 dynes/cm.
A calorimetric analysis of a sample of the salt, carried out by means of thermal analyzer Du Pont 900 (DSC modulus - heating rate = 10� C/min) revealed that decomposition started around 340� C, while a sample of sodium salt consisting of the mixture of polyoxaperfluoroalkandioic acids having the same average molecular weight began to decompose at about 200� C.
By operating as in Example 1, 15.9 g of a mixture of diols corresponding to formula (3) with an m/n ratio = 1, and having an average molecular weight of 2250, salified with an equivalent amount of sodium t-butylate, were reacted with 1.72 g of 1,3-propanesultone dissolved in 100 ml of t-butyl alcohol for 2 days at 50� C. 12.2 g of a white product in powder form were thus obtained.
This product was slightly soluble in water and alcohol. Elemental analysis showed a content of C, F and S of 20.95%, 53.9% and 2.45%, respectively (theoretical values: for C: 20.85%, for F: 54.2%, for S: 2.52%), these values being in accordance with the structure corresponding to the average formula:
NaO3 S(CH2)3 O CH2 CF2 O[C2 F4 O)11.4 (CF2 O)11.4 ]CF2 CH2 O(CH2)3 SO3 Na
An aqueous solution at 0.1% by weight of the product exhibited a surface tension of 45 dynes/cm at 20� C.
A calorimetric analysis, carried out as described in Example 2, revealed that decomposition began at about 340� C.
The purpose of this example is to show the use of primary alcohol solvents in the reaction between the salified diol and the 1,3-propanesultone.
In a 250 ml glass reactor equipped with magnetic stirrer, reflux condensor and thermometer, 7.17 g of the same diol as in Example 2, and having an average molecular weight of 1060, were salified -- operating with a dry nitrogen flow -- by reaction with 0.703 g of sodium methylate dissolved in 70 ml of CH3 OH. 1.65 g of 1,3-propanesultone were subsequently admixed therewith and the whole mass was reacted at 30�-40� C for 8 hours, always in a dry nitrogen atmosphere. During this time period a white solid precipitated.
Precipitation was then completed by the addition of 100 ml of benzene. The precipitate was filtered, repeatedly washed with benzene and ethyl ether, and dried by means of a mechanical pump. The product so obtained weighed 5.1 g.
The nuclear magnetic resonance and infrared spectra revealed, on analysis, that the product corresponded to formula (2), the terminal group B being the same as A to the extent of 90%, the remaining 10% being --CH2 OH.
The product contained some impurities consisting of sodium methoxypropanesulphonate, while the product of Example 2 did not contain the corresponding sodium t-butoxypropanesulphonate.
5.25 g of sodium dialcoholate of a diol mixture the same as that employed in Example 2, and havng an average molecular weight of 1060 and an m/n ratio of 1.2, were introduced into a 50 ml flask equipped with mechanical stirrer and thermometer.
11 g of 1,3-propanesultone were added thereto, whereupon the reaction was conducted for 16 hours at 50� C; during which time a white solid precipitated. At the end of the reaction the product was filtered, then purified with benzene in a continuous extractor in order to remove the impurities soluble in benzene.
There were thus obtained 4.6 g of a white powder having a structure corresponding to formula (2), wherein A = B = CH2 O(CH2)3 --SO3 Na and m/n = 1.2.
An aqueous solution at 2% by weight of this product exhibited a surface tension of 32 dynes/cm at 20� C.
This example was conducted in a 4000 ml stainless steel autoclave equipped with anchor stirrer, heating jacket and valves for the feeding of liquids and gas, and connected with pressure gauges and thermometers.
For the closed autoclave all traces of oxygen were removed by carrying out a series of nitrogen-vacuum operations. Subsequently, 1.1 g of the sodium polyoxapolyfluoroalkanesulphonate obtained in Example 1 and 0.055 g of ammonium persulphate dissolved in 2050 ml of distilled and previously deaerated water were introduced into the autoclave by means of liquid pumps.
Tetrafluoroethylene was introduced into the autoclave until a pressure of 20 atmospheres was reached. Then, having brought the internal liquid phase to a temperature of 30� C by means of external circulation of a thermoregulating liquid, 0.064 g of (NH4)2 SO4.FeSO4.6H2 O (Mohr salt) dissolved in 150 ml of water was introduced into the autoclave by means of a feed pump.
Polymerization was conducted for 40 minutes whereupon, after having removed the residual monomer, a stable colloidal aqueous dispersion of polytetrafluoroethylene was discharged from the autoclave.
Upon operating according to the same procedure as in Example 1, 4.6 g of a mixture of diols corresponding to formula (3), having an m/n ratio of 0.9 and an average molecular weight of 474, in the form of sodium dialcoholates, were reacted with 3.01 g of tolysultone (intermolecular ester of alpha-hydroxy-2-toluenesulphonic acid) in 60 ml of t-butyl alcohol for 10 hours at 50� C.
After purification, 5.3 g of a white product in powder form were obtained. This was soluble in water and in methyl alcohol.
On the basis of infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopic analyses, the formula
NaO3 S C6 H4 CH2 OCH2 [CF2 O(C2 F4 O)m (CF2 O)n CF2 ]CH2 O CH2 C6 H4 SO3 Na,
wherein the m/n ratio is 0.9 and the average molecular weight is 858, was assigned to this product.

Peruvian Direción de Hidrografia y Navegación has chosen SevenCs' S-63 Encryption Software to encrypt Electronic Navigation Charts (ENC) S-57 data as recommended by the IHO S-63 data protection scheme.
It is probably not widely known that ENCs are not excluded from copyright infringement and data piracy is a general problem of the digital area. The Peruvian DHN (Direción de Hidrografia y Navegación) as a publisher of official nautical information wanted to protect and authenticate their certified data according to the official security scheme.
Commander Julio Behr Laca, head of the cartography department, comments:"Official Peruvian ENCs are distributed by IC-ENC. With the encryption software provided by SevenCs, DHN now is able to regulate the distribution of ENCs inside their organization and for governmental vessels. With the encryption software we will improve our quality processes and overall control of the data."
About SevenCs
Based in Hamburg, SevenCs develops S-57 chart display Kernels for ECDIS, WECDIS and other maritime applications, ENC production and distribution software, and professional maritime navigation software.

All it takes to be an expert is to say you are? Ad nauseam?,
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: UnMarketing: Stop Marketing. Start Engaging. (Hardcover)
I was assigned this book by our talented marketing business unit. Though I agree with the astute (*) and (**) reviews here, I feel comfortable giving three stars since I accept the basic concept presented in the book. The author throws the golden rule at marketing (treat your customers the way you'd want to be treated) and sprays the familiar self-help pep-talk/pacifiers (you can do it! you're great! you can figure out how to make $ from Tweeter, really you can!) which simultaneously and all-too-briefly fires up and soothes the tired, overworked, overweight masses which are the well-oiled gears of the US economy. A virtual Icy Hot Balm on our frazzled brains.
The one egregious fallacy in this book is right up front, page 6: "You are an expert when you say you are one." Although in the next paragraph this muddy thinking is watered down by the self-contradicting "You don't become an expert by just telling people you're an expert- people tell you and then they tell others.", the damage (to the thinking reader) is done. If we really take this to its logical extreme, expertise just becomes a popularity contest. Although sometimes it seems we pick our leaders this way (thankfully not the current president), surely we don't want to live in a society where the "experts" are the ones which yell loudest or have the most fans.
Another basic premise I disagree with is whether doing something "which makes you feel ill" means that it's wrong and you should not do it. It might apply to cold-calling, but every one of us who's trained hard physically knows the nausea-inducing unpleasant moments, which can be good for the body and mind in the long run (sorry for the pun).
In most businesses, it's good to get out there and meet potential clients face-to-face. You get a chance to impress them in person, on the spot, and no social media tool will substitute for human contact and the verbal jousting that goes on during a real discussion (our brains evolved to respond best to those stimuli).
Un-marketing basically means "not traditional marketing". So the author wants you to build a follower base before you present your ideas and products to them, and presents some ideas and examples of how to go about doing so. This is not a bad premise. Unfortunately, the terrible humor (meant to sugar-coat the ideas in "entertainment") and the ongoing monologue with the footnotes significantly detracts from his delivery, at least to this reader. In fact, this book is at least memorable for having the most irritating, asinine footnotes ever. On top of that, his overly jocular, self-centered (to put it kindly) style is just not very professional and detracts from his message and helpful Twitter FAQs.
On the subject of his dominance of social media, or "expertise" if you will, let's do a little math. We want to ascertain the returns on his tweet binge. As of the writing of this review, the author has 77466 followers, quite an impressive number. To capture this audience however, he posted 66752 Tweets and follows 33786 accounts himself. One way to gain an idea of effort vs gain is to subtract the followed from followers (77466-33786) to eliminate the reciprocal follow-me-and-I'll-follow-you types (also begs the question whether one person can ever meaningfully "engage" with 33786 tweeters a day). That leaves us with 43680 followers. Divide his total Tweets by that number, and you get about one and a half Tweets posted to get one follower (or only two-thirds of a non-reciprocal follower per tweet). The caveat is that it apparently only takes him a few seconds per tweet. Still, many people unfollow users which tweet too many times a day, if they are interested in actually reading them and not just collecting points. It's just like spam filling up your inbox and obscuring the stuff you actually want to read and learn something important from.
To put things into perspective, let's consider Cristiano Ronaldo, a professional soccer player currently plying his trade in Spain (for those Americans who haven't heard of him, with apologies to the rest of the globe). While not as good-looking as the author (who compares himself to a GQ model, though with an ever-irksome footnote diluting the comment), CR has 1.488 Million followers, following only 50 and having 331 Tweets. And he's got a bit of talent and a day job.
Final example close to home: the ever-resilient and clever Conan O'Brian. 2.17 Million followers, following 1 (one) himself, 342 tweets. I like Conan's tweets. They are always witty, to the point, often funny, and he doesn't overdo it. But the real interesting bit is the one person Conan follows, a person named Sarah Slowik from Michigan. With 38K followers she seems only half the Tweeter the author is, but considering she's only following 460 (I feel that's a number one can actually follow and read daily) and made 1235 tweets, applying the above reasoning we get 30.8 non-reciprocal followers per tweet she made. Considering the author himself only had 0.65 nr followers/tweet, Ms. Slowik seems to be almost _50 times_ more efficient and effective in using this medium. Her description is very sweet and lacking in the self-aggrandizement that is all-too-often endemic to mouse-wielding males:"I love to smile and have fun in life. I think that anyone and anything can be forgiven and we should all just love and be." And she's the only one Conan himself follows. Maybe she should write a book- agents take heed.

Utah may study daylight saving time
SALT LAKE CITY — Utah lawmakers are talking about daylight saving time again but not with an eye toward getting rid of the twice-yearly time switch.
"This is not a bill to change daylight savings time. This is a bill to talk about the issues surrounding daylight savings time," said bill sponsor Rep. Ronda Menlove, R-Garland.
HB197 calls for the Governor's Office of Economic Development to hold a meeting with those interested and report on the outcome to legislative interim committees for possible study.
The Senate Natural Resources, Agriculture and Environment Committee endorsed the bill Wednesday and moved it to the Senate floor. It passed the House last week.
"I think this is a good way to get into the issue," said Senate Majority Leader Ralph Okerlund, R-Monroe.
Menlove said she's running the bill because older residents and young mothers have told her they have difficulty with the time change.
Lawmakers on the committee wondered what could result from the GOED report.
"The most important outcome is to let the people feel like they're heard," Menlove said.
On Sunday, clocks will be moved ahead one hour for daylight saving time. The federal government established daylight saving time, and only Arizona and one county in Indiana opted out.
Sen. Evan Vickers, R-Cedar City, said some of his constituents, particularly farmers and ranchers, sportsmen and car dealers, like the extra evening light and want to keep daylight saving time year around.
The Utah Farm Bureau studied the issue two years ago when it came up in the Legislature but could not agree on a position.
Okerlund said one of the biggest arguments in his family over the years has been about daylight saving time.
"It's really hard to come to any consensus on that," he said.
Sen. Jim Dabakis, D-Salt Lake City, replied, "In the long history of Dabakis family, this has never, ever come up as an issue. That may be the difference between country folk and city folk. Let's study it. It sounds fun."

Beckles urge participants to work together
International Boxing Association (AIBA) accredited referee/judge, James Beckles urged the 14 participants of his five-day workshop which concluded yesterday to work together to ensure a high standard of officiating is maintained locally.
During the closing ceremony of the workshop yesterday at the Guyana Olympic Association (GOA) building, Beckles also opined that "the course was a very good one, the participants were very receptive and I must say it was real camaraderie and a great sense of
oneness amongst the referee which I hope will continue."
Beckles gave lectures and practical demonstrations on the use of the electronic scoring system that the Guyana Boxing Association (GBA) received from AIBA while at the World Boxing Championships in Kazakstan last October.
He also mentioned that "Guyana is among the first countries in the entire Caribbean to have used and to have been trained with the new computerized 10-point must system.
It is quite fortunate that your referees were able to work with the system yesterday (Saturday) and in most cases got the scoring correct so I must congratulate you on that."
AIBA's accredited referee/judge however intimated that knowledge of the new scoring method will have to go beyond just the participants.
"One thing we discovered on this course was that getting adjusted to the new AIBA rules is I think a concern for everyone not just the referee and judges.
It was good that we started off with the referee and judges but like I explained before, implementing it in Guyana now means that you have to educate your boxers, your coaches and the people who come to watch boxing because they may see some decisions and ask what is going on there with the new type of scoring because the way the audience saw it before maybe isn't the way it is now."
The Trinidadian who was on his third visit to Guyana also thanked the GBA for accommodating him during his stay.
President of the GBA, Steve Ninvalle, thanked Beckles for his services and also invited him to be a part of the three-day Goodwill International Competition which will be hosted here from February 14.
Ninvalle also stated that "today I think that boxing has scored a knockout in Guyana.
It is very important that we have such seminars because we need to widen the information highway that we have, we need to make sure that we are continuously fed information of the right quality if we are indeed to push this sport any further."
The GBA head added "I do hope whatever was learnt by the participants will be applied whenever they are competitions here in Guyana."
Meanwhile Director of Sport, Neil Kumar congratulated the participants and encouraged them to be fair in their rulings and make the best use of their newly imparted knowledge.
Kumar also pledged the National Sports Commission (NSC) support for the fistic sport and revealed that the NSC is in the process of purchasing a new ring for the GBA.
Notes: Three of the 14 participants of the five-day workshop were women, Nicola Yhap, Paulette Nurse and Romona Agard. Leonard Wilson, Wayne Harris, Mark Drakes, Jermaine Craig, Eustace Cuffy, Colin Waddle, Marcelle Daniels, Nigel Hope, Keith Norville, Richard Braithwaite and Elton Chase were the male participants. Chase gave the vote of thanks to Beckles.

A recent Forbes article by Andrew Dailey at MGi Research reinforces the importance of "agile billing" to businesses that are serious about creating new revenue streams, meeting customers' needs and doing it fast and well.
The term agile is a good description of what businesses need from their billing systems in order to meet these challenges. At MetraTech, we've been an agile billing solution from day one with our "metadata-based" approach, which is what makes MetraNet flexible and responsive as well as business model and industry agnostic. So "agile" is a good description of how the system should perform and "metadata" is how the billing system actually delivers the agility. Metadata enables you to configure your data model, transaction processing, and user interface through web services compliant APIs and, as a result, enables the billing system to conform to your business model and existing systems. No need to compromise, you can simply innovate.
Recently we have seen (and commented on) an upsurge of breathless comment on the age-old concept of subscription billing, as if subscriptions were a new idea. Of course, any services company that relies on subscription pricing models only (or even mostly) is likely to be ill-prepared for the future as described by Andrew that includes cloud mashups, digital services and Internet of Things. A subscription-heavy service model is not an agile service model. So it was amusing to see that upon the Forbes article being published, one billing vendor put out a press release commending Forbes for their keen observation that the world needed agile billing and that as the inventor of cloud billing (maybe they've been taking pointers from Al Gore, the inventor of the Internet and from the inventor of subscription billing), the world was ready for their type of agile billing.
So you have to ask yourself, if it takes metadata to be agile and flex and change to capture new revenue streams, be responsive to customers, change business models, roll out services in weeks not months, and give customers freedom to run their business the way they want, how do other billing systems fare on the agility front? The answer is not so well. Most billing and for that matter ERP systems expect a customer to flex and be agile in fitting their business model into what the systems can and can't provide.
In contrast, the agile business constantly takes into account all pricing and charging options from subscriptions to one off purchases to usage and consumption models, unconstrained by the limitations of the billing system they use. The first time your IT department tells the product or sales team, "Nice idea, but the billing system can't do it that way ..." then you know that you don't have an agile billing system, you have a service innovation blocker: It blocks the way to creativity, change, customer satisfaction, and profits. And it allows IT to keep saying 'no.' Too bad, you just have to stick with what we can make work.
Although we know that MetraNet was one of the first systems to see action in the field of cloud billing, we don't actually claim to have invented cloud billing. It is a fundamental characteristic of an agile billing system that it doesn't have to be recoded or rebuilt to meet the needs of a new type of service, or a new business model, or a new type of settlement for a partner deal. If there's a billable event out there that can be captured, then your billing system should be able to bill for it, and do so under any pricing/rating regime, no matter how weird the discounts or premiums. Agile, don't you think?
We are proud to deliver business agility to customers across industry verticals that rely on us to be their service innovation engine and believe these customers can speak to our agility far better than we could ever do:
Concur (largest SaaS ERP provider): "With MetraNet, Concur has a large degree of agility in not having to form fit a business model into its system but rather to do the reverse so that the infrastructure and combinations of business processes can come together however the business evolves."
TELMORE (most competitive MVNO in the world with the a Net Promoter Score of +58): "MetraTech understands our pain points and its MetraNet solution can address market demand for the highest levels of customer responsiveness while simultaneously enabling us to deliver the innovative solutions that our customers want."
Guarulhos (GRU) International Airport, São Paulo (largest airport in Latin America): "The ability of MetraNet to be easily configured to support all of our business models in record time made it possible for this milestone to occur. The ease of use and high visibility also helped us to quickly make any adjustments necessary to comply with regulatory rules during certification."
Cetip (leading marketplace for private fixed income securities and over the counter derivatives): "We believe that the right billing system is the flexible backbone on which we will continue to build a successful future; one that will enable us to support increasingly complex and varied products and services. In MetraTech, we have found a partner who will meet our needs both immediately and into the future."
