Recent data from the U.S. Department of Labor predicts a 20 percent increase in employment of medical and health service managers by 2026, indicating a strong marketplace demand for highly skilled healthcare administrators. The new Online MHA expands NYU Wagner’s existing degree programs by providing flexible access to the advanced knowledge and skills necessary to succeed in this field. Students with an MHA go on to careers in healthcare systems and hospitals, physicians’ offices, nursing homes, home healthcare organizations, pharmaceutical and biotechnology firms, and many other contexts across the healthcare sector.

The online opportunity builds upon NYU Wagner’s on-campus healthcare management focused program, ranked No. 1 in Health Policy & Management by the 2018 US News and World Report among all graduate schools of public affairs. By leveraging the internal strengths of the school’s distinctive resources, including its expert faculty, large and impressive alumni network, and multi-disciplinary approach, Noodle Partners will help to build a preeminent online health administration master’s degree program. Additionally, Noodle Partners will add expertise in key functional areas such as digital marketing, student recruitment, instructional design, and student support to help bring the program online less expensively than traditional OPMs, with greater agility and in better alignment with university’s goals.

“In addition to being one of the largest private universities in the United States, NYU is a top-ranked institution of higher learning that attracts and cultivates some of the most influential students,” said John Katzman, CEO of Noodle Partners. “We’re proud to collaborate with NYU Wagner to develop and deliver innovative online programs to students who want to transform their careers and have an effective and lasting impact on the public good.“

Latest Guidebook Demonstrates How Focusing on Best Practices, Deploying Marketing Automation and Using Partner Concierge Services Can Ensure Lead Management Success and Improved ROIPLEASANTON, Calif., Aug. 28, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ZINFI Technologies, Inc., a company leading the definition and creation of Unified Channel Management (UCM) solutions, today announced it is offering a complimentary download of its latest publication on channel marketing automation, the Lead Management Best Practices Guidebook. The new guidebook delivers an inside look into a wide range of lead management best practices and discusses key considerations in selecting and deploying an appropriate partner marketing automation solution to ensure your lead management activities generate maximum return on investment.

The lessons and practices presented in the Lead Management Best Practices Guidebook are based on more than a decade of intensive experience developing and deploying sophisticated channel marketing automation systems, as well as ongoing discussions with ZINFI customers about their evolving challenges and requirements.

The guidebook begins with an introduction and overview of lead management, including discussion of the stages of the lead management lifecycle, inbound marketing techniques, appointment setting, keys to conversion, lead scoring and much more.

The second half of the guidebook focuses on lead management for channel sales, explaining the importance of lead management to the success of channel programs, the crucial role of automation in refining lead management efforts, the key capabilities of state-of-the-art lead management software, and the increasingly important role of mobile applications for managing leads in the channel.

“In today’s digital marketplace, there are virtually unlimited sources of marketing and sales leads. This presents new opportunities, but it also poses new challenges, particularly for organizations that market and sell their solutions through a regional or global network of channel partners,” said Sugata Sanyal, CEO and founder of ZINFI Technologies. “When lead volumes are high, it no longer makes sense to track and nurture leads manually or with a grab bag of discrete tools. Effective lead management requires a systematic approach, careful attention to best practices and an automated lead management system that thoroughly integrates marketing and sales activities. With our Lead Management Best Practices Guidebook,  channel professionals and marketers now have an up-to-date resource that clearly explains the most efficient processes for acquiring and managing leads through every stage in the purchase funnel until the sale is closed.”
