In 2009, Metisentry acquired and merged with Area 51. Today we have begun the stages of a brand-split resulting in the updating of our website and services. This brand-split will allow us to better focus our core competencies separately and raise the customer service level we provide to both Metisentry and Area 51 clients even higher. We thank you for your patience as we make this slight but important change.

NEW YORK, NY, December 6, 2010 -- Metisentry/Area 51 Consulting has been selected for the 2010 Best of Akron Award in the Internet Hardware & Software Providers category by the U.S. Commerce Association (USCA).

The USCA "Best of Local Business" Award Program recognizes outstanding local businesses throughout the country. Each year, the USCA identifies companies that they believe have achieved exceptional marketing success in their local community and business category. These are local companies that enhance the positive image of small business through service to their customers and community.

Various sources of information were gathered and analyzed to choose the winners in each category. The 2010 USCA Award Program focuses on quality, not quantity. Winners are determined based on the information gathered both internally by the USCA and data provided by third parties.

OrderSentry is a workflow and order entry system geared towards multipart workflow/workorder companies such as metal plating, fabrication, and screen printing.

It's goal is to automate the flow of information from different components of a work order. From creating the initial set of work orders, to their completion and automatic billing (into common accounting applications such as Intuit Quickbooks), the process is as seemless as possible - avoiding double data entry.

The level of integration, from workorder to accounting, allows OrderSentry a unique insight into the operational business metrics. What is our average turn around? How frequently do we replace part X, and where have we been ordering them? OrderSentry helps to systematically find efficiencies while simplifying day to day operations.

The offices of Metisentry have recently begun a on-going collection of pop can tabs for the neighboring Akron Children's Hospital. Our team members are avid pop drinkers and are glad to learn that taking a quick moment to remove a piece of an item they encounter on a daily basis will add to fundraising efforts being made at a local hospital. The funds generated from Akron Children's Hospital pop can tab collections are used to help patients on dialysis.

Did you know, as of 2008, 17 million children, under 18 years of age, lived in food insecure (hungry or at the risk of hunger) households? In Ohio, an estimated 18.7% of children are food insecure. The Akron-Canton Foodbank, located just around the corner from our Metisentry offices, serves about 179,800 people annually and approximately 31% of the members of the households they serve are children under 18 years of age.
This holiday season, the Metisentry team is initiating our very first project to assist the neighboring foodbank by holding an office food drive from November 1 - November 12. To find out how you can help fight hunger in your area, we encourage you to visit Akron-Canton Foodbank website or contact the foodbank nearest you.
