Ronald Barris, a seasoned executive focused on strategy consulting has joined the board of Ocoos.

Featuring a specialized Internet platform technology, Ocoos is currently working to create a seamless, information rich connection between consumers, service providers, and subject matter experts in a structured, relevant, and trusted manner. Much in the way Amazon.com makes it easy for customers to search for and buy specific “products” on-line, Ocoos aims to facilitate the ease in which people can search for and buy “services” over the Internet.

The initial target of Ocoos is to organize and highlight online the adventure tourism market in Florida. Making more efficient the process of searching the Internet for a particular type of service (e.g., adventure tourism activities in Florida), Ocoos offers providers the ability to market their services to a wider consumer audience, thus generating increased bookings and sales. Consumers, in turn, gain access to an expedient, targeted, and deep search of only those topics of interest—in a fashion inspiring confidence.

“Ocoos’s capabilities in marketing services is going to be game changing to the small service providers. As this capability gains traction, large branded players will also find Ocoos’s ability to organize targeted ecosystems to be valuable in enhancing their own offerings. If successful, the impact can be large for economies with a large services sector. I am delighted to join the Ocoos board,” said Ron Barris.
