New lineups deliver the increased aesthetics and strength that commercial and residential builders seek from perimeter security fencing.

GARLAND, TEXAS (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 25, 2020
Fortress Building Products, a leading manufacturer of fencing, decking, railing and framing products, will introduce two new fencing solutions March 3-6 at FENCETECH 2020 in Salt Lake City, Utah.
"ARES and Athens Commercial both deliver on Fortress' commitment of being the 'Total Solution.' Both product lines offer needed solutions to key problems building professionals face in today's fencing market," said Toby Bostwick, VP of Product and Brand at Fortress Building Products. "Athens Commercial offers light-weight durability, unmatched panel adjustability, and aesthetic design that can fit into a variety of landscape designs and ARES delivers superior strength to protect high-security facilities combined with the efficiency of pre-assembled panels to put that protection in place quickly. We're looking forward to showcasing both of these new products at FENCETECH 2020."
ARES Fencing
ARES high-security steel framing is engineered as a durable perimeter fence that is available as pre-assembled full panels to speed up installation and better protect a property. The panels can support up to and exceed the ASTM required 680 pounds of mid-span loads and include design features that improve forced-entry resistance and greater span strength such as solid steel I-beams and steel pales. Additionally, the pales pass through the rails offering greater strength. The combination of design and engineering makes ARES an ideal solution for fencing around secure areas that are visible to the public, such as public transportation stations, corporate campuses, electrical substations, government entities and parks.
In manufacturing, the steel is first e-coated then powder-coated in a variety of color finishes and lastly receives a secondary electroplated coating for enhanced UV protection. ARES is available now in four distinct finishes and three different stylings.
Athens Commercial Fencing
The new Athens Commercial aluminum fencing line offers larger rail and wider picket profiles to the existing Athens residential line. It utilizes a lightweight, tempered aluminum that is durable enough to perform as a commercial-grade boundary to protect any property. Fortress utilizes an innovative fastener to create a clean panel that fits together seamlessly and makes it a luxurious option for builders and property owners looking for a quality solution. Athens Commercial is Fortress' strongest aluminum fence product and has been tested to ensure it meets all ASTM commercial aluminum fence standards.
Athens Commercial is available now in a variety of rust-free, powder-coated aluminum finishes. This finishing process means never having to worry about the look of the fence deteriorating over time, which makes it perfect for pools and/or coastal applications. Athens Commercial has superior rackability to enable it to meet any realistic amount of grade change.
Built for the commercial market that wants to bring a refined experience to their spaces, the Athens Commercial and ARES lines of fencing products are available now. Fortress Building Products will display these new lines at FENCETECH in booth #2223. For more information, please visit fortressbp.com.

Platform integration improves risk management with disability claim analysis to improve claim outcomes.

PORTLAND, MAINE (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 25, 2020
ClaimVantage, an international provider of life, health, and absence management solutions, is delighted to announce its partnership with The Claim Lab, an industry-leading platform incorporating innovative analytical and predictive modeling techniques to improve disability claim outcomes.
The integration between the ClaimVantage Claims solution and The Claim Lab platform provides claim professionals with additional risk management capabilities. The information gathered at intake is scored based on several factors, with the claim score automatically generating before returning to the claim file, creating next-step actions for claim professionals to take. Psychosocial assessments are also available to refine ongoing claims management.
"The Claim Lab is a market leader in their space, working with global insurance companies to improve their approach to strategic risk management," said ClaimVantage CEO, Leo Corcoran. "Improving claim segmentation with data-driven insights is a key element of many of our insurance customer's growth strategy, and we are pleased that we can support them in providing this key differentiator in the claims market."
In fact, enhancing risk information systems and technology infrastructure was a high priority for 68% of respondents in the 11th edition of Deloitte's Global Risk Management Survey, proving the demand for improved risk management is increasing. The real-time integration between these two platforms allows claim professionals to assess scores for auto-adjudication opportunities and produces more accurate claim assignments, improving productivity and efficiency of claim management.
The self-service workflow configuration of the claims platform allows each business to apply specific processes around automation opportunities. This allows businesses to automate as much or as little as they like.
"Our approach is to allow claim managers to focus on the claims that need to be managed, and consider auto-adjudicating lower risk claims, where the claimant is likely to return to work," said The Claim Lab Executive Director, Ian Bridgman. "Providing ClaimVantage customers with that insight directly within their claim management solution is a big move in the right direction, towards better claim outcomes."
After the success of the ClaimVantage Leadership Forum in October 2019, the team launched the Leadership Forum: 2020 Tour — in sync with their latest software release — to touch base with customers and prospects globally, including Sydney, Australia and three locations across the US. This week, Bridgman will join the ClaimVantage team on the Leadership Tour in Hartford and Fort Lauderdale to demonstrate the benefits of this integration to their client base.

Kognito's simulation for students offers comprehensive sexual misconduct prevention content designed to shape attitudes and behavior

NEW YORK (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 25, 2020
Health simulation company Kognito announced today the release of a new product to help foster a safe campus climate around sexual misconduct. The simulation, Sexual Misconduct Prevention for Students, uses virtual humans and role-play scenarios to equip students with the skills to be an active bystander, respond effectively to a friend who has experienced trauma, and determine if consent has been given.
Nearly one in eight students have experienced nonconsensual sexual contact by physical force or inability to consent since enrolling at their school, according to an Association of American Universities (AAU) survey, and 50% of students believe there is at least some likelihood that they will experience sexual assault or other sexual misconduct at their university. As colleges across the country take action to address this problem, Kognito's new simulation takes a research-based approach to assist in schools' proactive efforts.
Under federal laws like Title IX and the Campus Sexual Violence Elimination Act (SaVE Act), institutions are mandated to provide programming that shares certain information with all students. This information includes the definitions of dating/domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking; the definition of consent; safe and positive options for bystander intervention; and recognizing signs of abusive behavior.
Sexual Misconduct Prevention for Students contains interactive modules that cover all topic areas required by law: bystander intervention, checking for consent, helping a friend, and staying safe. It also helps students differentiate between on- and off-campus confidential and non-confidential resource services, and when and how to refer peers.
In the simulation, students are presented with real-life scenarios and must choose how to respond, as well as identify the best resource. Virtual student coaches provide feedback based on the user's selections. Through this practice, the learning experience is designed to boost student preparedness and confidence to navigate difficult situations on campus. In addition, the scenarios include diverse examples of sexual orientation and gender identity, an important inclusion given that LGBTQ students experience higher rates of sexual assault.
"This virtual simulation is powerful. It gives students an interactive learning experience with the ability to actually practice having important conversations. This innovative learning module can help reach all students and strengthen our campus community. I'm excited to introduce this training to students and provide them with the information they need for personal use and to help others," said Kathryn T. Hutchinson, Ph.D., Vice President for the Division of Student Affairs at St. John's University.
Hutchinson is one of the subject matter experts who contributed to the training content. Other subject matter experts consulted include Dr. Genny Beemyn, a leading expert and author on the experiences of trans students, Tiffany Gaffney, Associate Dean of Students and Assistant Title IX Coordinator at Providence College, and Glen Kraemer, founding partner and co-manager of employment and higher education law firm Hirschfeld Kraemer.
Sexual Misconduct Prevention for Students joins Kognito's suite of higher education simulations used to engage students, faculty, and staff to improve student mental health, retention, and academic performance. The company's behavior change model integrates several evidence-based models and techniques, game mechanics, and learning principles.
"We've provided many thousands of college students with training that supports their overall health and wellbeing," said Ron Goldman, Co-Founder of Kognito. "This new simulation meets a need that our higher education clients have been voicing to us for a long time. We know through research and feedback from our clients that students learn better through participation. It was time to apply the power of simulation to sexual misconduct prevention education, and we believe it can have a tremendous impact on the future health and livelihood of students."

Kognito is a health simulation company whose evidence-based simulations harness the power of role-play conversations with virtual humans to improve social, emotional, and physical health. Learn more at kognito.com.

Verinovum announced today promotions for two of its influential executive leaders. Company co-founder Mike Noshay has transitioned from his role as Chief Customer Officer to Chief Strategy and Marketing Officer, and Sherry Troutman, formerly Executive Director of Client Services, has been promoted to Chief Customer Officer.

TULSA, OKLA. (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 25, 2020
Verinovum announced today promotions for two of its influential executive leaders. Company co-founder Mike Noshay has transitioned from his role as Chief Customer Officer to Chief Strategy and Marketing Officer, and Sherry Troutman, formerly Executive Director of Client Services, has been promoted to Chief Customer Officer.
A central figure in Verinovum's success over the past six years, Noshay's expanded responsibilities more accurately reflect his current role in managing organizational strategy and marketing. In this role, he is helping Verinovum to sustain its authoritative position as an industry-leading voice for data cleansing and curation and will help to ensure alignment between the company's growth strategy and its customer-focused values.
"Healthcare's struggles with dirty data have been well-documented. This is not a new problem. It has persisted for decades," said Noshay. "Verinovum has demonstrated a unique ability to cleanse and curate healthcare data with an incredibly high degree of accuracy, scale and speed without ripping and replacing your existing HIT framework. The healthcare IT ecosystem is complex for sure. But the fact that our capabilities are unique makes my job easy. I simply need to help guide and articulate Verinovum's vision to serve as the arbiters of clean data for payers, providers, ACOs and CINs."
Noshay was recently appointed to a board position at 36 Degrees North, an innovation hub for entrepreneurs and investors – which provides access to talent, technology and financing to help Verinovum achieve its goals for continued growth and customer satisfaction.
As Chief Customer Officer, Troutman will lead the customer-focused engagement and management teams as they support the entire customer journey, from the initial sales presentation, during the implementation process and over time as Verinovum customers use the platform to cleanse and curate data to support a myriad of different workflows and applications. In her role, Troutman's team will have the unique opportunity to work closely with customers and truly listen and understand their needs – so they can proactively plan and deploy the necessary resources at the right time to exceed customers' expectations for timeliness, accuracy and results.
"There's nothing more important than our customers' complete satisfaction," said Troutman. "I believe we're doing something incredibly special here. And it's my privilege to have the opportunity to build trusting relationships with every one of our customers. At the end of the day, we're all working to make a difference both in healthcare and in our society and I believe that helping to improve people's lives is what truly matters."
"Verinovum set out to accomplish an incredibly aggressive goal; to clean up healthcare data in some of the most challenging environments and use cases. In order to achieve our vision, we need to continually attract, train and reward world-class talent," said Mark McCurry, CEO of Verinovum. "Mike and Sherry are truly gifted and exemplify Verinovum's uniquely collaborative culture. They've both demonstrated a remarkable knack for working cross-functionally to deliver extraordinary outcomes – and these promotions will enable them to help unlock the latent talent across our entire organization. And I truly believe their success today will pave the path for others' success in the future."
About Verinovum
Verinovum is a market leader in clinical data cleansing and curation, enabling payers, providers, clinically integrated networks and accountable care organizations to improve operating performance and quality with actionable information. By delivering clean, complete, and accurate data, Verinovum supports healthcare organizations in their efforts to access the right information, in the right format, at the right time, so it may be tailored and curated to fulfill specific use cases and achieve mission-critical clinical and business goals.

Data Quality Myths that Hinder Businesses from Gaining a Competitive Edge and Obtaining ROI.

NAPERVILLE, ILL. (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 25, 2020
Infogix, a leading provider of data management tools and a pioneer in data integrity, today debunked seven popular data quality myths that are doing businesses more harm than good.
According to a recent survey from O'Reilly Radar, "Organizations are dealing with multiple, simultaneous data quality issues. They have too many different data sources and too much inconsistent data. They don't have the resources they need to clean up data quality problems. And that's just the beginning."
In order to solve data quality challenges that plague organizations today, businesses must understand the most prevalent data quality misconceptions. Here is the truth behind the seven most common data quality myths:
Myth one: Data governance and data quality are two different initiatives.
The truth: Data governance without data quality is data governance light.
Data governance ensures people, processes and technology involved in managing data also establish trust in information to generate reliable insights that benefit the business. This is impossible to do without data quality.
When data travels through the data supply chain, it is exposed to new processes, uses and transformations, which impact its integrity. By scoring and monitoring data quality and enacting data integrity controls within a data governance program, businesses establish data trust by preventing downstream data issues that could adversely affect audit, risk and compliance reporting, management presentations and general decision making.
Myth two: Solving data quality issues is extremely costly and time-consuming.
The truth: Advanced data quality checks and integrated machine learning capabilities allow companies to automatically monitor and improve enterprise data trust.
Machine learning and analytics capabilities continuously monitor data integrity, automate data quality tasks that typically take large teams of people to accomplish and ensure data is error-free. When business users know data is accurate, they trust the information to help drive better business decisions.
Myth three: Knowing if data is either high or low in quality is the only thing important.
The truth: Data quality is a moving target and simply categorizing it as low or high won't cut it.
It doesn't matter if data is somewhat inaccurate or very inaccurate. For those consuming the data, if it is inaccurate, at any level, it is useless. However, there could also be times that data is accurate, but not exactly useful. For example, if an organization has accurate data that is six years old, business users will likely consider that information unreliable because it isn't timely, even though it may be useful to different departments in other ways. Being able to characterize, catalog, and provide lineage for the data might be more important to a user of the data than actually knowing if it's high or low, depending on how the consumers intend to use it.
Myth four: Third parties are solely responsible for the quality of their own data.
The truth: Whether it was created internally or not, it is critical to verify and maintain data quality across all data sources.
Third party data drives the opportunity to exchange data with outside sources to uncover insights and improve the customer experience. There's no clear approach to how one organization can influence helping the partner organization get a handle on their data quality. Therefore, when organizations ingest information from various outside sources, they must ensure the data's quality by applying integrity checks as it enters a company's data supply chain. Administering regular checks for accuracy and completeness upon receipt of outside information—across every system and process—helps monitor data immediately as it enters the enterprise to ensure quality is always maintained from source to system.
Myth five: It's easy for employees to understand why data quality is important.
The Truth: In complex data environments, quality processes are often "siloed" with little visibility into the full process of how a specific dataset or transaction is configured. Additionally, this siloed data likely exists in a different format in a different department with different information, further complicating matters. These existing silos hinder the ability for employees to understand the impact of needing data quality at all.
Today, the speed and scale of data and the sheer number of data platforms and applications utilized is staggering. As a result, the risk to data quality is steadily increasing. Companies must establish appropriate information quality oversight to navigate changes within convoluted data environments.
Myth six: Data quality and data integrity are different concepts.
The Truth: Data quality and data integrity are terms that can almost be used interchangeably.
Historically, the term data integrity referred to the validity of data and data quality meant the completeness, accuracy and timeliness of data. However, to understand the validity of data, businesses must be aware of its completeness, accuracy and timeliness.
Data integrity also implies movement of data throughout an organization. Integrity is ensured throughout the data supply chain process and combines with data quality. Therefore, either data integrity or data quality can describe the validity, completeness, accuracy, timeliness, etc. of data. The two terms are tightly coupled in their mission: provide trustworthy data.
Myth seven: Implementing data quality is a technology initiative.
The truth: Every single person in the organization is responsible for doing their part in addressing data quality.
With more individuals across the organization requiring high quality data to do their job effectively, everyone has a stake in determining how best to validate the information. In today's data-driven world and over-burdened IT team, businesses can no longer assume IT always understands the business requirements in which quality needs to be validated nor should they be required to rely on their data integration tools to address quality. As we look ahead, business users need to start implementing their own quality routines as they know the requirements they're after and getting more involved in actually implementing quality checks simplifies things all around.
"The technology and applications that businesses use to manage data and the different ways they utilize information is always evolving," said Emily Washington, executive vice president of product management at Infogix. "The one constant that always remains is the unparalleled need for accurate, consistent and reliable information to drive business decisions."

SAAS platform drives engagement by making it easy for product teams to create, deliver and optimize text, email, and in-app notifications.

PALO ALTO, CALIF. (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 25, 2020
Notivize, a collaborative platform that allows non-technical product teams to own and drive product engagement via intelligent user notifications, today announced its seed financing. A player in the emerging product team tools category, Notivize is a pioneer in technologies that give product managers and product marketers the solutions they need to continuously optimize product experiences without relying on code changes.
The funding will be invested in growing the Notivize notification platform which can be used to easily define events that trigger notifications, test delivery channels and content, and manage message templates. All companies maintain software apps, but often fall short in creating on-going engagement due to the complexity in notifying users at the perfect time with the most useful message – Notivize allows teams to learn faster and customize app messages for every user.
"Our goal is to give product managers and marketers who are directly responsible for engagement metrics the ability to control their own destinies," said Matt Bornski, co-founder of Notivize. "In the past app notification cadences have fallen flat when it came time for teams to really learn and optimize around user behavior. Under-staffed engineering teams do their best to satisfy the most basic notification requirements, product teams beg and steal resources, and marketing teams have no direct influence on the outcome. Notivize allows non-technical teams to build and iterate the entire app notification lifecycle without being dependent on busy engineers."
"We help some of the biggest companies in the world with strategy and execution of their innovative product experiences. A big part of this is getting consumers to engage over time," said Chris Basey, CEO of CoMedia Design. "Notivize has made this easy to perfect and gives our clients the ability to increase product engagement in rapidly changing markets."
Since launching a beta in 2019, Notivize has experienced rapid growth with hundreds of thousands of notifications delivered and expansion of every customer account.
"The steady march of low-code and no-code solutions into the product management and marketing stack continues to unlock market velocity and product innovation," said Michael Fertik, Founder and Managing Partner of Heroic Ventures. "Having been an early investor in several developer platforms, it is clear that Notivize has cracked the code on how to empower non-technical teams to manage critical yet complex product workflows. We are excited to be in Notivize's corner from day one."
"The Notivize platform is game-changing", said Ted Everson, CPO at Portobel. "As a provider of modern cold-chain shipping and IoT-based monitoring solutions we know that notifications are critical to our customers' success. Notivize has allowed us to customize, scale and drive our customer engagement experiences."
Notivize is also announcing integrations with notification delivery platforms including Amazon SNS / SES, Twilio and SendGrid as well as analytics solutions for enterprises.

Notivize allows non-technical teams to build and iterate the entire app notification lifecycle without being dependent on busy engineers.

According to the 2020 State of the Conference Industry Report just released by Omnipress, the knowledge and education delivered at a conference continued to be the biggest driver of value for attendees. But, because of changing member demographics and expectations, for associations to achieve their goals in 2020 and beyond, this same content will need to play a much bigger role outside of the conference.

MADISON, WIS. (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 25, 2020
For the sixth consecutive year, Omnipress, provider of event technology products and print solutions for associations and other organizations, conducted an online survey of 125 association and conference professionals to track the evolution of educational content and the role it plays at the annual conference. The results have been compiled and published in the 2020 State of the Conference Industry Report.
Jonny Popp, General Manager of Omnipress notes, "Each year, we see slight changes in the trend lines in certain areas of the report. But when you step back and look at it over a six-year period, there are some more notable macro-trends that are becoming more prominent."
Some of these trends include:

The need for associations to use content to attract attendees from outside their core member base

The evolution of the conference from an annual event to a year-round learning strategy

An increased desire by attendees to integrate peer connections and learning as part of the conference format

Tracy Grzybowski, Omnipress' Director of Marketing, oversees the industry survey and resulting annual report, and has closely tracked the evolution of educational content, and the resulting challenges and opportunities for associations over the past five years. According to Grzybowski, "Based on these trends, it's clear that associations will need to prioritize how to use their conference content for more than simply marketing next year's event."
As Popp observes, "In past years, the focus was on how to best deliver content at the event to meet the needs of a diverse group of learners." Today, however, most organizations are providing their content in 2-3 different formats, which means they've addressed these needs. Respondents indicate they are now seeing less dramatic shifts in attendee preferences at the event. As a result, the conversation has shifted from how to deliver content, to how to leverage it to attract new audiences, increase learning retention and create more member value.
"Associations are facing two major obstacles in 2020 that could hinder their growth," states Grzybowski.
1.    A self-reported gap in conference importance versus effectiveness.
While over 70% of respondents felt the annual conference plays an extremely important role in increasing awareness of the organization, only 35% felt their event was equally effective in doing so.
2.    Minimal progress on generational preparedness.
While the 2020 report shows the largest year over year increase in the number of respondents who are working on an organizational strategy to address the needs of young professionals, they are still in the minority. Nearly half of the respondents have not initiated a plan to attract and retain Generation Z.
Grzybowski notes that, "by developing a strategy and process to re-package and promote existing educational content, associations can more successfully overcome these obstacles."

Omnipress was founded over 40 years ago to help associations and other organizations simplify the process of collecting, reviewing, producing and distributing print and digital educational content for their members, attendees and learners.

Payscout brings the security, reduced cost and brand protection of PCI P2PE through Payscout's Paywire℠ platform

ATLANTA AND SHERMAN OAKS, CALIF. (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 26, 2020
Bluefin, the leading provider of payment security technologies and PCI-validated point-to-point encryption (P2PE) solutions for retail, hospitality, healthcare, and higher education today announced its partnership with global payment processing provider, Payscout, to provide PCI-validated P2PE through the company's Paywire℠ technology platform.
Payscout is one of the fastest-growing, privately held global payment processors in the world, providing profitable payment solutions for brick-and-mortar and ecommerce transactions in the United States, Brazil, Canada, China, and the European Union. The company specializes in online/ecommerce retailers with a predominant proportion of card-not-present (CNP) transactions. The company's Paywire℠ technology platform is built to optimize conversions, enable more payment methods, increase approval rates, and lower friction for customer payments.
Payscout has partnered with Bluefin to provide PCI-validated P2PE solution directly through the Paywire℠ gateway. PCI P2PE secures credit and debit card transactions by encrypting all data within a PCI-approved point of entry device. This prevents clear-text cardholder data from being available within the device, or in the merchant's system where exposure to malware is possible. Data decryption always occurs offsite in a Bluefin hardware security module (HSM), ensuring the highest level of security.
"Encryption is a 'must-have' technology in any payments environment, but especially in healthcare and higher education," said Payscout Head of Technology Eric Schuler. "When we're talking to our customers about optimizing conversions and adding new payment methods, it is essential that all of these solutions are underpinned by a PCI-validated P2PE solution. With this partnership, we're meeting and exceeding customer demand by ensuring every relevant point of data entry in the payments ecosystem is encrypted and secure."
Bluefin enables PCI-validated P2PE on partner platforms using their Decryptx Decryption as a Service (DaaS) product, which allows gateways, ISV's, and processors to connect directly to Bluefin for the P2PE service.
"Payscout is a leader in providing global payment and security solutions to many industries that have suffered major data breaches, including retail, higher education, and healthcare," said Greg Cornwell, Chief Revenue Officer, Bluefin. "With the introduction of Paywire℠, these industries now have a comprehensive security solution that can protect their POS operations. We are excited to provide the benefits of our validated P2PE solution to Payscout clients."
The benefits of the Bluefin and Payscout P2PE solution include reducing PCI scope from 329 to 33 questions on the P2PE self-assessment questionnaire (SAQ), which in turn provides significant cost and efficiency savings; online management of the P2PE device process with Bluefin's P2PE Manager; and seamless integration with the Payscout platform utilizing the P2PE-validated ID Tech SREDKey, Ingenico iSMP4 and Ingenico iPP320/350 payment terminals.
About Bluefin
Bluefin specializes in payment and data security technologies that protect point-of-sale (POS) and online transactions. Our security suite includes PCI-validated point-to-point encryption (P2PE) for retail, call center, mobile and unattended payments, and our ShieldConex data security platform for the protection of personally Identifiable Information (PII), Personal Health Information (PHI), and payment data entered online.

First attendance at annual conference and expo will highlight mobile monitoring capabilities.

HERNDON, VA. (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 26, 2020
All Traffic Solutions will be exhibiting at Border Security Expo for the first time this year.
The Herndon, VA-based traffic safety and data analytics leader will be showcasing how its highly mobile, easily deployable, cloud-connected technology can be combined with a variety of class-leading Automatic License Plate Recognition (ALPR) solutions. The results provide security, law enforcement and other organizations with highly accurate and detailed information about vehicle movements in real time, improving overall situational awareness and enabling greater proactivity.
Effectively enforcing geographic boundaries is challenging for a number of reasons. The large numbers of crossing points mean that to deploy permanent technology at all locations can be prohibitively expensive — and it may not be needed at all times. Power and data supplies may not be available, meaning that any deployed technology must be capable of being self-sufficient as well as rugged and dependable; having to return to a site time and again to maintain a system or change its operating parameters makes no sense.
ATS addresses this by providing solutions for safety and traffic monitoring applications that offer high levels of autonomy and efficiency.
Its ATS 5 trailer features solar power and can be used in conjunction with numerous technologies that feature web connectivity to address a wide range of applications.
Because ATS adopts an open-standards approach, integration of technology from other manufacturers is readily achievable. In the case of ALPR, this means that the ATS 5 trailer can be delivered with custom system fits that increase choice and flexibility — traffic monitoring and data-gathering can be combined with variable message sign technology to counter speeding and other types of unsafe driving, for instance.
This enables a multitude of challenges to be addressed, says ATS CEO Andy Souders.
"A common challenge at border crossings is the ability to accurately count stopped, queueing and tailgating vehicles. Our lidar-based solution does that with accuracy levels of over 99%.
"Another issue is that some drivers are unfamiliar with local rules, so we're also going to be showcasing our recently launched system that detects and alerts wrong-way drivers. This addresses a problem that too often causes fatalities, and at Border Security Expo we'll be showing how security and improved safety can be combined."
Attendees can see the ATS 5 trailer at the company's booth #623. Border Security Expo takes place March 11–12, 2020 at the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center, San Antonio, Texas.
About All Traffic Solutions
All Traffic Solutions is a leader in traffic safety and data analytics for Intelligent Transportation Systems and smart parking applications. We help law enforcement, municipal agencies and commercial organizations use data and cloud-supported devices such as web-enabled radar speed displays, conditional messaging technology, and lidar technology to calm traffic, optimize parking availability, share notifications, and improve traffic safety— while maximizing resources and budget.

iland improves visibility and control for MSPs and large IT organizations with muti-location backups from anywhere

HOUSTON (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 26, 2020
iland, an industry-leading provider of secure application and data protection cloud services built on proven VMware technology, today announced new upgrades to its Secure Cloud Console that improve how managed service providers (MSPs) and multi-location enterprises manage their entire global portfolio of Veeam cloud-based backup solutions from a single, unified console.
The iland Secure Cloud Console is a fully-integrated unified management platform that provides full insight into iland's cloud services including security and compliance configurations, performance, consumption and costs. The new features include a single pane of glass to view and support global cloud backup environments, including greater granularity to leverage real-time data and statistics over multiple accounts, and improve control over multiple tenants from a single space without extra work or permissions.
Additional self-service capabilities help simplify storage management, reallocate resources and add new tenants. Global enterprises and MSPs can also provide Backup as a Service (BaaS) internally and manage multiple repositories and locations from a single user interface. For example, administrators leveraging iland's BaaS Insider Protection feature, an air-gapped repository that protects data against internal and external threats including ransomware, can now display the status of their multi-tenant environments in a single view. Administrators can also change Veeam Cloud Connect tenant names and update tenant passwords easily and from any location.
iland Secure Cloud Backup with Veeam Cloud Connect is designed for Veeam users who need performance, security, and simplicity in their cloud solution for offsite backups and archives.
iland has a long history of innovation with Veeam in delivering seamless access and insights to customers to employ Veeam Cloud Connect in a way that best meets the needs of their business. The partnership has also led to multiple Impact Cloud & Service Provider Partner of the Year and Innovation Partner of the Year awards.
"We continue to listen to our customers and partners who want a smart and simple way to move and manage their data in the cloud," said Dante Orsini, iland senior vice president of business development. "None of that is possible without visibility and control over as many resources as possible, which is why we're enhancing the Secure Cloud Console with Veeam Cloud Connect. With these latest updates, we're making it easy for channel and enterprise IT customers to extend backup services around the world with a simple, easy-to-use common interface."
"iland's Secure Cloud Backup with Veeam Cloud Connect provides our customers with a great experience. Its inexpensive enterprise cloud backup can be delivered quickly and without complexity," said Chris McDuffie, vice president of cloud architecture of Structured in Clackamas, Ore. "What I really appreciate about iland is its continued focus on innovation and improving the customer experience. The latest console update provides MSPs with a consolidated view into the platform, allowing engineers to stay focused on their workflow instead of switching between views. That drives significant value for both Structured and our customers."
"Our ability to service our customers is based largely on understanding and accurately managing their cloud resources for lower costs and greater performance," said Aaron Jeffery, national manager of managed services of Data#3 in Brisbane, Australia. "Adding Veeam backup to the iland Secure Cloud Console with iland's disaster recovery services gives the context of how those elements fit together within their broader cloud environments for unmatched visibility and control."
The latest updates to iland Secure Cloud Backup with Veeam Cloud Connect are available through all 10 of iland's global cloud regions including an ongoing free 30-day trial with 5TBs of data.

Qeexo also announces new features and support for the Renesas RA Family of 32-bit MCUs

MOUNTAIN VIEW, CALIF. (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 27, 2020
Qeexo today announces several new features for its AutoML product, including support for Amazon Web Services (AWS) and tools designed to give Qeexo AutoML users greater flexibility and performance in the collection and analysis of sensor data:

Support for AWS: Users of Qeexo's AutoML now have the option to install the product locally on their private server, or to access it via AWS. This allows for increased scalability to serve more users and build more complex models faster by leveraging the Cloud.

More machine learning models: Users can now select more machine learning algorithms (both deep-learning and non-deep-learning) when building models.

Data and model visualization: Users can visualize the collected/uploaded sensor data, and also see more details for each model, including various graphs and charts that increases explainability.

Support for microphone sensors: Users can now collect and analyze data from a device's microphone, greatly augmenting the supported use cases (e.g. keyword spotting).

Qeexo also announces that its Qeexo AutoML product now supports the Renesas RA Family of Cortex-M MCUs. Qeexo AutoML is a fully-automated, end-to-end platform that builds lightweight machine learning solutions at the Edge. The Renesas RA Family of 32-bit MCUs is designed to help device developers create next-generation secure and low-power IoT devices. The combination will enable developers to rapidly build machine learning solutions for Edge devices using Renesas hardware and Flexible Software Package (FSP).
International Data Corporation (IDC) estimates that there will be 41.6 billion connected IoT devices, or "things," generating 79.4 zettabytes (ZB) of data in 2025.
"As the number of IoT devices grows, companies increasingly struggle to make sense of the vast amount of data that they generate," said Sang Won Lee, CEO of Qeexo. "With Qeexo AutoML, we allow even non-experts to rapidly build machine learning models that run at the Edge, in order to analyze this data and generate actionable insights in real-time."
"Integrating our RA MCUs with an automated machine learning tool like Qeexo AutoML will greatly augment the user experience and applicability of our products. It will also make it easier for our joint customers to navigate the process from prototyping to production without prior expertise or much experience with artificial intelligence and machine learning," said Kaushal Vora, Director of Strategic Partnerships & Global Ecosystem at Renesas Electronics Corporation. "We will continue our collaboration with Qeexo to enable even more Renesas hardware on Qeexo AutoML."
Qeexo AutoML greatly simplifies the development process for machine learning solutions, allowing companies to create machine learning models without having to invest in expensive, in-house machine learning teams, resulting in huge time and cost savings. Qeexo AutoML can automatically generate models that can run locally on environments constrained by power and memory, such as IoT devices, wearables, and automotive sensors.

New features make it even easier for certification and licensing boards to define, manage, track, report, review, approve, and audit continuing education requirements across one or more credentials.

COSTA MESA, CALIF. (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 27, 2020
Certemy, provider of the most affordable and configurable SaaS software platform for professional certification and licensing management, today announced the release of new features that extend the platform's robust support for continuing education (CE) management. The new features provide more flexibility for professional certification and occupational licensing boards that require certificants and licensees to complete CE requirements as part of their credential renewal process.
"Robust and flexible CE management is a core component of any credentialing program," said Oleg Shvarts, Founder and President of Certemy. "These new features underscore our commitment to providing customers with best-in-class CE management that combines a comprehensive feature set with intelligent tracking across multiple credentials using actual timelines and requirements."
Certemy Enhanced CE Management Features
Digital Transcripts
Certemy's transcript feature allows professionals to view, print, and share digital transcripts that list all completed CE requirements together with completion dates and supporting evidence documents, including certificates of completion. Certemy provides participating licensees and certificants with a dedicated transcript for every renewal cycle of each of their credentials. Digital transcripts also provide the foundation for automating internal and external audits.
Minimum and Maximum Values
This feature allows credentialing organizations to define the required units for CE requirements as a range rather than an absolute value.
Multiple Units of Measure
This feature allows credentialing organizations to use points, credits, or units, as an alternative to hours, as the unit of measure for managing CE requirements.
About Certemy CE Management
Certemy's credentialing management platform provides everything certification and licensing boards need to define, manage, track, report, review, approve, and audit continuing education requirements across one or more credentials. Unlike simple CE tracking solutions, Certemy allows credentialing organizations to intelligently and concurrently manage CE requirements across multiple credentials using actual requirements and deadlines. Learn more about Certemy's CE management features and benefits at https://certemy.com/solutions/ce-management-software.
About Certemy's CE Marketplace

The Certemy CE marketplace makes it quick and easy for professionals to find and purchase board-approved CE products to satisfy education requirements when renewing or reactivating a credential. The CE marketplace also helps CE providers grow sales and reduce customer acquisition costs by presenting their education products to ready-to-buy professionals exactly when they are needed most.

Videos and Teacher Guides Focus on Both Online and Offline Safety

BROOKVILLE, N.Y. (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 27, 2020
Today is Digital Learning Day, and Adventure 2 Learning, a leading video-based educational technology platform, and the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) announced a partnership to help educators and parents teach children, in grades K-5, how to stay safer by expanding the reach of NCMEC's safety programs.
NCMEC's NetSmartz and KidSmartz programs will now be included in the resources on Adventure 2 Learning's website. They provide age-appropriate content for children and resources for teachers and parents. NetSmartz focuses on protecting children on the internet, and KidSmartz helps prevent abductions and other dangers. The programs avoid fear-based language and empower kids to practice safer behaviors.
The programs are designed by NCMEC based on what they see as a clearinghouse for issues related to missing and exploited children. Last year, NCMEC's CyberTipline received 16.9 million reports of suspected child sexual exploitation. They also assisted law enforcement and families with more than 29,000 cases of missing children.
"At the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, we believe prevention is key," said Callahan Walsh, child advocate for NCMEC. "We want to help empower children to make safe and smart decisions by having our child safety resources in as many places as possible. We're grateful for Adventure 2 Learning for supporting our efforts to reach children in all communities nationwide."
Adventure 2 Learning's platform, which has grown primarily by word of mouth, is currently in over 25,000 schools, reaching 10 million students. The platform provides over 7,000 streaming videos and supplemental materials, helping to fill the void in classrooms created by funding shortages, outdated resources, high student-to-teacher ratios, and the wide disparity in learning levels. Programs include social-emotional learning, fitness, academics and Digital Life, which educates students on how to protect themselves in the virtual world.
NCMEC's videos and materials will complement Adventure 2 Learning's resources. KidSmartz videos focus on four key rules for personal safety - Check First, Take a Friend, Tell People No, and Tell a Trusted Adult. They use animated characters to model the best ways for young children to respond to potentially dangerous situations.
The NetSmartz program tackles internet safety through an animated web series called "Into the Cloud" that launched in 2019. The series sends the classic NetSmartz characters on a new adventure where they will get to meet new friends and teach them everything they've learned about staying safe online.
"NCMEC's videos and resources are a critical addition to the Adventure 2 Learning platform," said Michael Rhattigan, CEO of Adventure 2 Learning. "As a father of two young boys myself, I cannot think of anything more important than making sure children understand how to stay safe, whether they are on the internet or walking home from school."

About the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children
Since 1984, the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children has served as the leading private, nonprofit organization helping find missing children, reduce child sexual exploitation and prevent future victimization. As part of its work as the clearinghouse and resource center on issues relating to missing and exploited children, NCMEC operates a hot-line, 1-800-THE-LOST (1-800-843-5678), and has assisted in the recovery of more than 311,000 missing children. NCMEC also operates the CyberTipline, a mechanism for reporting suspected child sexual exploitation, which has received more than 60 million reports.

From the director that brought you hits like "Old/New" and "Plot Device" comes a supernatural horror film for the whole family in "Darker Colors," now out on YouTube.

PORTLAND, ORE. (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 27, 2020
Red Giant, the VFX and motion graphics software company that has produced hit short films for YouTube, has just released a brand new horror short directed by Seth Worley titled, "Darker Colors." Clocking in at just over 10 minutes, "Darker Colors," a proof-of-concept film packed with a fresh and new twist on the horror genre, is now streaming on YouTube.
WATCH NOW: "Darker Colors"
Written and directed by Seth Worley, director of short film content at Red Giant and co-founder of Plot Devices, and produced by Anne Fogerty, Worley's counterpart / co-founder of Plot Devices, "Darker Colors" tells the story of Amber (Lexi Janicek), her brother Jack (JT Underwood), and their friend Bowman (Jeremiah Rusch) taking on terrifying creatures that are of Amber's own design - literally. After Amber's drawings are transformed into living monsters made of crayon and glitter, her older brother leads a mission into the woods to destroy them.
"The concept for 'Darker Colors' gave us the opportunity to mess with some traditional visual tropes of the horror genre," explains Worley. "For example, its most modern creature designs have a darker and muted color palette, but here we wanted to subvert that and bring a glitter-infested rainbow version of the film's monster antagonist. To play with some of those variables, it was important to fully commit to other staples of the genre. That's why we have our beautiful, seedy, Carpenter-y score by Makeup And Vanity Set, and why we have a lot of slow, dread-inducing zoom shots."
Fogerty adds, "It's horror for the whole family! When it comes to inspiration, the first film that comes to mind is 'Jurassic Park.' Humans create a problem for themselves that they now have to solve. In 'Darker Colors,' the kids are on their own to solve the problem they created, and they come up with some pretty amazing kid solutions."
The film's narrative centers around Amber, who created the monsters out of the depths of her childlike and innocent yet expansive imagination. At the start of "Darker Colors," her brother Jack is taking charge, but by the end of the story, Amber is fully owning it, utilizing the very things that got them into this situation - her creativity and imagination - as superpowers, not to be feared, but to be owned and embraced. Says Worley, "The end of the story isn't about defeating monsters, it's about a hero finding the strength and confidence to be the one who does it."
"Kids are some of the smartest, most imaginative people, unencumbered by the day-to-day reality that comes with age, yet at the same time have a depth to them we often don't give them credit for," says Fogerty. "You can see Amber processing and taking ownership of what she's capable of over the course of this film, moving from timidity to confidence."
Worley developed "Darker Colors" as a proof-of-concept for a feature he's been developing with Tony Hale ("Veep," "Arrested Development") and Rideback ("IT," "The Lego Movie," "Aladdin"), with the help of the full set of Red Giant Tools: "VFX Suite was the main one, most notably Supercomp, Spot Clone Tracker, King Pin Tracker, and Optical Glow. We also used Trapcode Particular, Form, and Shine pretty heavily. Then a decent amount of Magic Bullet Looks, Colorista IV, and Renoiser. Also PluralEyes. So one could easily say we used Red Giant Complete."
Watch "Darker Colors" and go behind the scenes of Red Giant's latest short film.

Daniel Page, Director of Business Development at search engine optimization focused hosting provider ASEOHosting, says the state of online advertising is dire.

HUDSON, FLA. (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 27, 2020
Daniel Page, Director of Business Development at search engine optimization focused hosting provider ASEOHosting, says the state of online advertising is dire.
"People are frustrated with advertising, and rightly so," said Page. "As much as some advertisers and publishers might complain about the damage ad blocking has done to their bottom line, they've made their own bed in that regard. They spent years ignoring the writing on the wall, more concerned with short-term profits than long-term sustainability."
Page blamed intrusive ads that interrupt the user experience, malicious payloads transmitted through poorly-policed ad networks, targeting based on misappropriated user data, and the sheer volume of irrelevant sales-focused content on the web.
"Advertisers cannot complain that their intrusive, outdated business model is no longer viable," he said. "Especially when most web users would actually be willing to turn off their ad blocking software if presented with unobtrusive, relevant, vetted ads."
Page pointed to a 2016 Hubspot survey as evidence. In that survey, 83 percent of respondents agreed that not all ads were bad, but that it was the really obnoxious ones that were the problem. Further, 77 percent of respondents indicated that they wanted a way to ad-filter instead of ad-blocking entirely.
"Ad blockers have never been the problem," said Page. "We're two months into 2020, and it's baffling to me that more people haven't clued in. If ads could be made less invasive, dangerous, and obtrusive, fewer people would block them."
As for how to solve the problem, Page then referred to an interview with advertising Pioneer Andrew Essex. In that interview, Essex envisions a future where advertisements add value to content rather than interrupt it. Essex also holds that content marketing and alternative revenue models will play a significant role in moving forward.
"It's obvious to anyone who's been paying attention that traditional advertising models are no longer feasible," Page added. "They're already being replaced - and it's only a matter of time before they're gone for good."

Report from Future of School reviews the reasons students choose online learning and how it meets their needs

CASTLE ROCK, COLO. (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 28, 2020
Researchers for a new study on online learning, Pioneers in Education: A Closer Look at How Technology Is Catalyzing Schools Across America, reviewed the reasons that students chose online or blended learning, and how their school responded to their needs and interests.
The students highlighted in this report were scholarship recipients from Future of School. This report is a compilation of why these individual students chose online/blended learning and how or why their schools made these opportunities available.

The report examines data gathered from scholarships recipients on the 12 most significant reasons these students chose online learning as an alternative to traditional school or as a supplement to their school experience.

Flexibility was the leading reason for choosing online options. Other needs met through online learning included access to courses above grade level, more individual attention, support for physical and mental health issues, access to advanced learning opportunities and to meet the challenge of rural living.

Schools responded to the needs of students in a variety of ways, from creating online and blended learning programs internally, to developing partnerships with area school districts or higher education institutions. Some students chose to enroll with online charter schools.

The companion report, Student Perspectives on Blended and Online Learning, explains these student choices in detail.
Through this report, Future of School seeks to increase recognition of the way many schools, including traditional public schools as well as charter schools, are meeting student's needs in innovative ways. Both reports can be found online at http://www.futureof.school/impact-reports-lp.

Through the Innovative Educator Prize, we empower pioneering educators with grant funding that enables them to bring programs and tools into the classroom to transform the learning experience.
By amplifying technology's impact on students and educators, we inform, inspire and spearhead much needed change.

Mount Sinai researchers have designed an artificial intelligence model that can determine whether lower back pain is acute or chronic by scouring doctors' notes within electronic medical records, an approach that can help to treat patients more accurately, according to a study published in the Journal of Medical Internet Research in February.

NEW YORK (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 29, 2020
Mount Sinai researchers have designed an artificial intelligence model that can determine whether lower back pain is acute or chronic by scouring doctors' notes within electronic medical records, an approach that can help to treat patients more accurately, according to a study published in the Journal of Medical Internet Research in February.
About 80 percent of adults experience lower back pain in their lifetime; it is the most common cause of job-related disability. Many argue that prescribing opioids for lower back pain contributed to the opioid crisis; thus, determining the quality of lower back pain in clinical practice could provide an effective tool not only to improve the management of lower back pain but also to curb unnecessary opioid prescriptions.
Acute and chronic lower back pain are different conditions with different treatments. However, they are coded in electronic health records with the same code and can be differentiated only by retrospective reviews of the patient's chart, which includes the review of clinical notes.
The single code for two different conditions prevents appropriate billing and therapy recommendations, including different return-to-work scenarios. The artificial intelligence model in this study, the first of its kind, could be used to improve the accuracy of coding, billing, and therapy for patients with lower back pain.
The researchers used 17,409 clinical notes for 16,715 patients to train artificial intelligence models to determine the severity of lower back pain.
"Several studies have documented increases in medication prescriptions and visits to physicians, physical therapists, and chiropractors for lower back pain episodes," said Ismail Nabeel, MD, MPH, Associate Professor of Environmental Medicine and Public Health at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. "This study is important because artificial intelligence can potentially more accurately distinguish whether the pain is acute or chronic, which would determine whether a patient should return to normal activities quickly or rest and schedule follow-up visits with a physician. This study also has implications for diagnosis, treatment, and billing purposes in other musculoskeletal conditions, such as the knee, elbow, and shoulder pain, where the medical codes also do not differentiate by pain level and acuity."
This research was funded by Pilot Projects Research Training Program of the NY and NJ Education and Research Center (ERC), National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health grant # T42 OH 008422, Hasso Plattner Foundation and NVIDIA.

Fundamentally new approach to big data anonymization; Synthetic data retains 99% of a dataset's value & utility; But in contrast to classic anonymization it is impossible to re-identify customersin the new generated synthetic data and to put their privacy at risk; Thus it enables privacy-friendly AI & big data innovation; Privacy compliant (GDPR, CCPA); Allows the unrestricted sharing of large datasets for AI training, analytics,collaboration, product development & testing, marketing, and data monetization

NEW YORK (PRWEB) MARCH 02, 2020
Mostly AI, the disruptive data privacy startup that built a unique synthetic data platform which unlocks personal data for privacy-friendly AI and big data innovation has raised an additional $5 million in a Series A funding led by Earlybird. Existing investors 42CAP and Push Ventures also participated in the round. Their core technology fully anonymizes big data without destroying their value while making sure that organizations won't put their customers' privacy at risk.
"As a financial investor and a close partner to Mostly AI, we are strongly convinced that Mostly AI will fundamentally revolutionize the analysis and usage of large data sets," says Christian Nagel, Partner at Earlybird. "Mostly AI unlocks big data assets while at the same time guaranteeing the highest levels of data protection. That helps customers
securely train predictive models thereby unleashing the full potential of their data."
Founded in 2017, Mostly AI's revolutionary Synthetic Data Engine uses artificial intelligence (AI) and privacy rules to automatically generate fully anonymous data. This artificial data is based on a company's existing customer data and keeps their entire information value. But in contrast to classic anonymization approaches the re-identification of customers becomes impossible resulting in as-good-as-real data that is not subject anymore to the rules of GDPR/CCPA.
"The additional funding will allow us to significantly accelerate our growth and expand our engineering and sales teams both in Europe and in the U.S.," says CEO Michael Platzer. "We're experiencing significant traction for our AI-powered synthetic data solution at numerous financial institutions, healthcare and technology companies worldwide and are on track to deliver a cloud-based version of it."
Current customers include one of the U.S.' Top 5 insurance companies, global telecom operator Telefónica and several financial institutions in Europe such as Erste Group Bank, one of the largest financial services providers in Central and Eastern Europe.
"Mostly AI's synthetic data engine is unique in the market today," explains Jeb Su, principal analyst at Atherton Research. "If Facebook has used Mostly AI's solution, it would have accomplished its data anonymization project in days rather than 2 years with 20 full-time staff and at a cost of $11 million, and with a much higher quality dataset that scientists could actually use for their research."
Mostly AI's Synthetic Data Engine is orders of magnitude more accurate than mockup or dummy data enabling a range of use cases from data monetization, testing and development, user experience design, vendor validation, AI training, and much more, without putting customers' privacy or a company's reputation at risk of a data breach.
For more information on Mostly AI, its technology, uses cases and client roster, please visit mostly.ai.
About Mostly AI
Mostly AI is a Vienna, Austria based high-tech startup that has developed a game-changing AI technology for synthetic data. Their solutions enable organizations across the world and across industries to safely share big data assets, internally as well as externally, while keeping the privacy of their customers fully protected. This breakthrough in data protection is made possible by leveraging generative deep neural networks that extract patterns, structures and variations from existing data to generate highly realistic & highly accurate synthetic personas. Mostly AI's international team of data experts takes pride in offering the world's most advanced synthetic data solutions, and thus to enable a big data ecosystem where privacy is truly respected.

TerraSense Analytics announced today they have been awarded a $977,439 contract through the Department of National Defence's Defence's Innovation for Defence Excellence and Security (IDEaS) program. This contract will fund the next phase of development for its Multimodal Input Surveillance & Tracking (MIST) product, an advanced airborne surveillance system developed by TerraSense Analytics.

KELOWNA, BRITISH COLUMBIA (PRWEB) MARCH 03, 2020
TerraSense Analytics announced today they have been awarded a $977,439 contract through the Department of National Defence's Defence's Innovation for Defence Excellence and Security (IDEaS) program. This contract will fund the next phase of development for its Multimodal Input Surveillance & Tracking (MIST) product, an advanced airborne surveillance system developed by TerraSense Analytics.
MIST is a computer vision system that uses artificial intelligence to watch the cameras onboard surveillance aircraft in real-time, fusing thermal and colour imagery and automatically identifying and tracking targets. Designed with input from airborne sensor operators in the Canadian Armed Forces and around the world, MIST uses deep learning to improve operator situational awareness and enable analysts on the ground to search and recall precise moments from thousands of hours of footage in an instant.
Working closely with Dr. Zheng Liu at the University of British Columbia, and Erik Blasch of the US Air Force Office of Scientific Research, the TerraSense Analytics team will spend the year developing and testing a working prototype of MIST. "Our goal is to provide concrete validation of the system onboard real aircraft, using real sensors, detecting real targets, by the end of this year", says TerraSense Analytics CTO Jozsef Hamari.
As the Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) role becomes increasingly important to the Canadian Armed Forces, even older aircraft are being outfitted with advanced camera packages. TerraSense Analytics, an artificial intelligence company with extensive experience processing imagery from airborne and remote sensors, will enable analysts to find the right intelligence quickly and easily, without requiring thousands of hours spent annotating video by hand.
This will be the second phase of development for MIST, which received its original funding from the Government of Canada in 2018 and has gone from concept to prototype in the time since.
About IDEaS
The Innovation for Defence Excellence and Security (IDEaS) program is an investment of $1.6 billion over 20 years aimed at meeting the demands of today's complex global defence and security environment. The program enables Canada to deliver the capabilities needed for a strong and agile military by providing financial support to foster innovation through contracts, contribution agreements and grants. The IDEaS program helps innovators by supporting analysis, funding research, and developing processes that facilitate access to knowledge. It will also support testing, integration, adoption, and acquisition of creative solutions for Canada's defence and security communities.

Forgery, counterfeit knock-offs and internet SCAMS have grown to such an alarming part of our life that they have become a fixture and a symbol of our 21st century culture. Docufraud Canada issues Canada wide warning

TORONTO (PRWEB) MARCH 03, 2020
Dwayne Strocen, President of Docufraud Canada a Canadian based specialist in Forensic Document Examination has seen a noticeable increase in reported crimes associated with identity theft, internet cyber intrusion and instances of signature forgery. Although many of these crimes should be reported to the police, Mr. Strocen wonders if the name Docufraud Canada has some allure for the public to call with reports of wrong doing.
Nothing it seems is off-limits to a person's intent on deceiving or defrauding others. There is no boundary to age, gender, income level or status in the community. We've all received the slick calls and read the e-mails asking us to click the link or some new way to deceive us into revealing personal information. If you find yourself on the call list for some unscrupulous character here are some things you should be aware of.
It seems the R.C.M.P and local police readily admit to being completely overwhelmed. This is partly due to the fact that many of these nefarious individuals and organizations are not domiciled here in Canada. They are often located in other countries where laws are lax and ineffective. Yet in every case there are Canadians who live among us who will aid and abet by assisting with money collection, wire transfers and storage of stolen goods and counterfeit property.
Technology has provided us with time and labour saving devices, but technology has also evolved our world into something not envisioned by the creators of the internet. If a 3-D printer can create a usable human organ for transplant then it certainly can fraudulently create a new licence plate for a stolen car, or perhaps a gun to fool airport screening. If a thief can manufacture counterfeit products so it cannot be distinguished from the original then there is no limit except by the thief's own imagination.
According to Mr. Strocen, here is where some of the problem stems. Docufraud receives call after call from individuals who despite reading and being aware of such activity continue to distribute their personal information. The greatest sources of voluntary information is social media sites, dating sites and retail shopping sites. If a retailer asks for your e-mail address, phone number or mailing address, he says don't give it. Even if the clerk insists, it's none of their business.
This information is used to illegally apply for bank loans and credit cards. It's used to purchase vehicles, motor homes, expensive watches, and other large ticket items. And in every instance you are responsible for the outstanding payments and the accumulated debt. A significant percentage of Docufraud's business is from individuals who have fallen victim and need to prove the signature on the expensive purchase was not theirs and indeed a forgery. In addition to the time and stress, the court appearances and legal costs, there is a ruined credit rating.
Forgery of documents and identity theft are part of the same problem. We've seen fraudulent signatures on new car purchases, motor home purchases, credit card agreements, even mortgage and loan applications. Docufraud Canada would like to put out this warning to all Canadians.
Be vigilant and be a smart consumer. We truly hope you do not need our services, but if you do, you can count on us to assist with establishing your true identity. We can't fix your credit rating, but we do have certified and court qualified forensic examiners ready and able to do our part in setting things right.

CVG Strategy, LLC has been approved by 27k1 Ltd as their first United States Reseller of the 27k1 ISMS Product. Information Security is becoming more and more a critical issue for businesses globally and tools like the 27k1 ISMS Software are a solution to managing the Cybersecurity and Information Security process controls.

VIERA, FLA. (PRWEB) MARCH 03, 2020
According to the latest ISO 2018 Survey, demand for ISO/IEC 27001 certification in the US has increased by 37% since 2017. Given this growth trajectory and recognising that ISO 27001 is the global, "gold standard" in information security certification, 27k1 Ltd is delighted to announce that it has taken steps to introduce the 27k1 ISMS (Information Security Management System) software to the US market, appointing CVG Strategy, LLC, as its first US based system reseller.
Many companies are struggling with the implementation of a compliant ISMS for NIST 800-171 using ISO 27001 as solution. Now, with the U.S. Department of Defense's announcement of Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) replacing NIST 800-171, ISO 27001 ISMS will be much easier to implement for all sizes of organizations. Now, with the 27k1 ISMS software to support the effort, companies can abandon the spreadsheet approach to process control.
About CVG Strategy, LLC
CVG Strategy, based in Viera, Florida is an established Information Security consultancy, focused on delivering a range of Governance, Risk and Compliance solutions, including US DoD Standards, NIST and ISO 27001.
The business is owned and operated by Cindy and Kevin Gholston, who are highly qualified ISMS practitioners.

Complemented by effective training and implementation services, their staff include Exemplar Global Certified ISO 27001:2013 Lead Auditors and CISSP Experts.
Directors Comments
Jeremy Martin, Co-Founder of 27k1 Ltd stated that "we are thrilled to be working with CVG Strategy, given their expertise, customer base and their enthusiasm for supporting their customers through the ISO 27001 certification process.

With seamless integration with Retrospect Management Console, Retrospect's data protection suite streamlines onboarding and increases protection with ProactiveAI

WALNUT CREEK, CALIF. (PRWEB) MARCH 03, 2020
Retrospect, a leader in data protection for businesses and a StorCentric company, today announced the general availability release of Retrospect Backup 17 and Retrospect Virtual 2020, as well as updates to its Retrospect Management Console. Retrospect's suite of products now provide hosted management service for automatic onboarding of physical and virtual backup instances, enabling fast deployment and increased protection, leveraging ProactiveAI across an entire organization.
IT administrators depend on streamlined workflows to deploy services and support within their organization. With automatic onboarding, administrators can share a single URL with their entire company, and each employee can download the client for their platform, pre-packaged with a public key for authentication. There are no user passwords, and Retrospect Backup 17 will automatically add the new clients and start protecting them using ProactiveAI.
With Retrospect Virtual 2020, businesses can monitor their physical and virtual backup infrastructure from a single pane of glass via the Retrospect Management Console. Retrospect Virtual 2020 is now integrated with the hosted service to enable one place to monitor every protected machine–Windows, Mac, Linux, VMware and Hyper-V.
"There are a multitude of avenues that lead to data loss for businesses, including ransomware, accidents and disasters," said Mihir Shah, CEO of StorCentric, parent company of Retrospect. "Retrospect enables any business to backup their entire infrastructure and restore a file or a system to a single point in time–days, months or years in the past. The ubiquity of ransomware means businesses need a data protection strategy, with on-site backups for fast restore and an off-site location. Retrospect makes it a click away."
Retrospect Backup 17
Also included in Retrospect Backup 17:

10x Faster ProactiveAI – ProactiveAI has been optimized to handle many more sources with different storage profiles. Customers with endpoints that are offline at various times will see a 10x performance increase in how fast Retrospect Backup 17 finds the next available computer.

Restore Preflight – Large-scale data protection—relying on highly-optimized storage configurations like hundreds of tapes or Amazon Glacier— strategies require preflight capabilities to ensure a fast operation, and Retrospect Backup 17 allows customers to export a preflight summary, including backup files and tape information.

Nexsan Certification – Retrospect Backup 17 is now certified for Nexsan E-Series and Nexsan Unity storage devices.

SAN FRANCISCO (PRWEB) MARCH 03, 2020
More than 300 qualified opportunity funds (QOFs) report having raised $7.6 billion in opportunity zone (OZ) equity, according to the Novogradac Opportunity Funds Listing.

As OZ activity grows, participants will gather to discuss final regulations, best practices and the future of the resource at the Novogradac 2020 Opportunity Zones Spring Conference April 23-24 in Long Beach, Calif. The conference presents a timely opportunity for OZ investors, managers and stakeholders to discuss strategies and best practices to drive investment into low-income communities. The event will include a Washington Report panel featuring Novogradac's managing partner, Michael J. Novogradac, Alfonso Costa Jr. of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, Shay Hawkins of the Opportunity Funds Association and Chris Slevin of EIG.
"The substantial and steady growth of the opportunity zones incentive has been remarkable," said John Sciarretti, CPA, Novogradac partner and conference chairman. "We appreciate the steadfast work from Treasury to release final regulations and now we can look forward to talking about the incentive with certainty."
Conference panel topics include the state of the OZ marketplace, structuring a multi-asset QOF and combining OZs with other incentives. The full agenda can be found here. Pre-conference workshops on OZ basics and on overcoming OZ obstacles will be held April 22. Separate registration and fees apply for the pre-conference workshops.
The Novogradac 2020 Opportunity Zones Spring Conference is co-hosted by NES Financial. The event is sponsored by Bellwether Enterprise, Coats Rose, Crate Modular, Dentons, Enterprise, Greenberg Glusker, Husch Blackwell, Kutak Rock, Manatt, Miles & Stockbridge, Sadis and Squire Patton Boggs. Trade sponsors for the event are OpportunityDb and CalOZ.

Evans chooses the ADLINK EdgeSmart Pallet solution to optimize warehouse packing line and automate quality checking - as showcased at ADLINK's booth 614, IWLA Convention & Expo

SAN JOSE, CALIF. (PRWEB) MARCH 03, 2020
Evans Distribution Systems, a provider of third-party logistics and supply chain solutions, is transforming its warehouse packing line with a machine vision AI solution from ADLINK Technology, a global leader in edge computing. The ADLINK Edge Smart Pallet technology will be showcased by ADLINK in booth 614 during the 2020 IWLA Convention & Expo in San Diego, March 15-17, 2020.
Evans has deployed the ADLINK Edge Smart Pallet solution to improve accuracy and efficiency using two GigE cameras, an Edge AI Gateway computer and ADLINK Edge software. Package contents are recorded and classified as they move along the packing line and rule-based analytics are able to identify any incorrect contents.
The solution is able to cross reference real-time vision data viewing the box contents on the packing line against the packing list on Evans' Warehouse Management System and, if an error is detected, a label is printed on the box to signal that a manual quality check is required.
"Our investment in this technology from ADLINK is a small step toward a larger organizational goal: To provide the highest quality service to Evans customers using people and innovation to enhance the end-to-end supply chain," said Steve Ruch, Vice President of Warehousing at Evans. "The goal is to enhance our current operations with a nondisruptive technology and machine vision AI has great potential to transform our business. The packing line conveyor still works in the same way but this machine is over 99% accurate, allowing us to utilize the valuable skills of our people in other areas more efficiently."
"Our Smart Pallet solution is out of the box technology with minimal configuration and is proven to transform warehouse logistics operations. It replaces traditional barcode hand-scanning by using machine learning to help automate correct packing in the warehouse, removing errors in inventory," said Daniel Collins, Director of IoT Solutions for ADLINK Americas. "As a smart solution, Smart Pallet includes all the hardware, software and training needed, including ADLINK's leading Smart Cameras, Edge IoT software for real-time connectivity and Edge IoT apps for machine vision."
ADLINK is also proud to join the International Warehouse Logistics Association (IWLA) as a partner member. Attendees of the 2020 IWLA Convention & Expo can see the Smart Pallet technology live by visiting ADLINK in booth 614 March 15-17th in San Diego.

Experience personalized telephony with the power of seamless 3rd party integration and optimized contact center solution.

BETHESDA, MD. (PRWEB) MARCH 03, 2020
Delivering an exceptional agent and customer experience for 11 years with 150+ deployments & 98.7% customer retention, NovelVox – the contact center integration leaders have come up with Agent Desktop and CTI Connector for Cisco Call Manager (CUCM). These personalized telephony solutions are focussed on improved agents' performance and caller experience. NovelVox has played on the forte of integration and optimization — here's a glimpse of product features and benefits.
Understanding the criticalities of customer experience, NovelVox Agent Desktop for Cisco Call Manager empowers agents with customer information and call management essentials on one single desktop screen. Now, agents can focus more on customer conversation instead of switching applications. It improves the agent's efficiency by saving crucial 15-20 seconds lost in toggling screens and collecting information. Seamless integration with over 70 3rd party applications empowers agents with caller's details even before answering the call. So, the business is sure to deliver a personalized experience with reduced Average Handle Time (AHT). To make every conversation a success, agents are equipped with Pre-built Gadgets such as Knowledge Base, Agent Scripting Tool, and more. This makes agents appear more knowledgeable and confident to win the caller's trust and resolve issues at the earliest, thereby improving First Call Resolution (FCR). Further, the agent desktop for CUCM offers an optimized and industry-specific interface for the agent's comfort.
Whereas, NovelVox CTI Connector for CUCM is embedded in the CRM application to offer personalized telephony solutions for improved caller experience. Here, the agent is equipped with required customer information as a screen pop of details even before answering the call. There are more features that empower agents to focus on creating an exceptional caller experience, such as click to dial feature. It significantly saves agents' time by avoiding the need for manual dialing since it converts numbers into clickable links. Also, the smart dialing feature configures overcall prefix and suffix irrespective of agent and caller country code. With the importance of inter-team communication in mind, NovelVox has introduced a phonebook (Global/Company/Agent) within the connector to equip agents with instant support to handle calls efficiently.
NovelVox CEO, Amit Gandhi states, "NovelVox has pioneered the art of delivering exceptional caller experience with technology and UCM integration with CRM is another step in this direction. We are focused on creating solutions that save agents crucial time lost in logging, swapping screen to fetch customer information, manual dialing of numbers or placing customer, on hold for long, etc. Our agent desktop and CTI connector for Cisco Unified Manager has all these features to enhance the agent's performance and deliver high-quality caller experience. We want the agents to make the most from CUCM.

New research conducted by EMA indicates that more than 60% of businesses experienced a severe security breach in just the last year, and 90% of the companies that were affected experienced serious business repercussions.

BOULDER, COLO. (PRWEB) MARCH 03, 2020
Enterprise Management Associates (EMA), a leading IT and data management research and consulting firm, today announced it will host a research webinar titled "Advancing Identity and Access Management to the Next Level with Contextual Awareness" featuring Steve Brasen, research director of endpoint and identity management at EMA.
There can be no doubt that business security risks are accelerating. Increased requirements for supporting diverse and remote user devices, coupled with the broad distribution of enterprise applications, data, and IT services across diverse on-premises and public cloud, server, and web hosting environments, are challenging even the most experienced IT and security managers to meet expanding requirement for compliance and security assurance. In particular, traditional methods for controlling access to sensitive business IT resources is no longer considered sustainable, and breach events are becoming more commonplace.
Fortunately, new techniques are being introduced that leverage contextual details collected at the time of each access event to dynamically adapt authentication processes and access policies based on the empirically determined level of risk posed by the activity. This exciting new approach is driving identity and access management advancements, including adaptive authentication, risk-based access, and step-up multifactor authentication.
During this webinar, Brasen will reveal key findings from recently published primary research identifying optimal approaches to utilizing contextually-aware IAM technologies and practices. Topics of discussions will include:

Emerging requirements and challenges to enabling secure access to enterprise apps and data

Methods for rapidly analyzing complex information on access events to determine levels of risk

Securing access to IT resources hosted on public clouds and websites

Reducing IAM efforts and related costs while improving end-user productivity

Determining which contextual elements are the most valuable to monitor and how to make the most of their use

Best practices for adapting authentication and access policies to match the level of potential risk

The webinar is Tuesday, March 10 at 2:00 p.m. Eastern. Registration is available at: http://info.enterprisemanagement.com/identity-and-access-management-2020-webinar-pr

Ensure Business Continuity with Locked Down Virtual Environment.

NEW YORK (PRWEB) MARCH 03, 2020
Global organizations are implementing 14-day quarantine, or "quarantine at home" procedures for staff who have traveled to areas affected by the Coronavirus. These crisis response measures introduce new information security risks for organizations and their clients.
"Even the most prepared organization's plans will be challenged by rapidly evolving remote work scenarios," said Jordan Ellington, founder of SecureReview. "Government mandated travel restrictions, quarantines and illness affect staff of all levels, including executives who may not be able to get to work."
Staff who weren't previously cleared to work outside the office due to information security policies may find themselves in a quarantine scenario that pits business operations against policies that restrict access to sensitive information. Corporate IT departments will also be challenged to provide at short notice a scalable and secure remote computing environment that meets the organization's security and data privacy requirements.
Outside vendors, such as contract attorney staffing agencies, may also have staff that suddenly can't reach review centers due to quarantines. Vendors then face similar challenges to deploy secure remote computing environments that meet client security requirements without delaying document reviews.
Secure Remote Work Environments Support Business Continuity
SecureReview helps address these issues by extending a secure work environment to quarantined remote workers, thus helping balance information security compliance with the demands of urgent projects and of the business to continue operating as normally as possible.
A global SecureReview client said, "SecureReview is an important part of our business continuity plan to protect highly confidential information when staff and contractors need to work outside the office on an as-needed, matter-specific basis."
Total isolation of client data is critical on remote personal computing devices that may be compromised by malware. Screenshot prevention, data transfer restrictions (copy/print/save) and matter-specific email, help ensure access to confidential information without leaks.
SecureReview can help reduce Coronavirus-related business disruptions by enabling staff from corporations, law firms and service providers to continue working remotely on sensitive projects while maintaining a strong security posture.
About SecureReview
SecureReview was founded in 2017 to help legal, financial and life sciences organizations protect sensitive data with a transparent layer of security. SecureReview protects document reviews, investigations, translations, deals, audits, and any situation where organizations share extremely sensitive files with external users, while meeting stringent corporate IT and regulatory security requirements.

Classic Brands' growth prompts a move to Centric Software for proficiency in product lifecycle management.

CAMPBELL, CALIF. (PRWEB) MARCH 03, 2020
Classic Brands, the designer, manufacturer and distributor of wild bird feeders and birding products, has selected Centric Software's Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) solution for emerging brands, Centric SMB. Centric Software provides the most innovative enterprise solutions to fashion, retail, footwear, outdoor, luxury and consumer goods companies to achieve strategic and operational digital transformation goals.

They are an enthusiastic group of dedicated wild bird aficionados who employ innovative engineering and extensive field-testing on their products, which can be found on the shelves of many major retailers.
Classic Brands has been growing rapidly in terms of sales and breadth. Their existing project management system was reaching its limits. They required a solution to manage their increasing number of product lines, speed up their development process and create workflow efficiencies.
Lindsey Nifong, marketing director of Classic Brands says, "We thought the system we were utilizing was sufficient, but we got to a point where it was not. We needed to find something else to support goals of expanding our product line and eCommerce."
"Of the vendors we evaluated, Centric was best aligned with how we conduct our everyday business and with how we do our product development," Nifong says. "We were looking for our product team to have their own management tool. We wanted something that is streamlined, that creates efficiencies, and can manage all the products that we have."
An opportunity to have a conversation with another Denver-based Centric customer in the consumer / hard goods industry informed Classic Brands' rigorous selection process. "It was really great to get their perspective on how they utilized Centric," Nifong says.
Classic Brands decided to implement Centric SMB, a cloud-based PLM solution tailored for small to medium businesses.
Available on a subscription basis (SaaS), Centric SMB is designed to speed product development, optimize product costs and increase brand responsiveness. With access to the same proven technologies and industry know-how as big players, emerging brands set the foundation for future growth.
Nifong explains, "Centric SMB does everything that we need it to do. It will help us with productivity in our day-to-day work and we will be able to continue to grow with it, and it will be able to grow with us."
"We are very pleased that Classic Brands has selected Centric SMB," says Chris Groves, President and CEO of Centric Software. "Classic Brands is a leader in a specialized and important environmental space, bringing joy to bird enthusiasts near and far. We are excited to be working with them as they continue on their growth trajectory."

Housing Partnership Equity Trust has been selected for this year's annual ImpactAsset 50 showcase featuring impact investing fund managers that operate with good intentions, trustworthy expertise, and proven results.

WASHINGTON (PRWEB) MARCH 03, 2020
Industry's first publicly available, searchable resource of impact investing fund managers sees record number of applicants and assets; New emerging impact manager category brings awareness of innovative trailblazers breaking new ground in impact investing.
Housing Partnership Equity Trust has been selected for this year's annual ImpactAsset 50 showcase featuring impact investing fund managers that operate with good intentions, trustworthy expertise, and proven results.
ImpactAssets has released its ImpactAssets 50 2020 (IA 50), a publicly available, online database for impact investors, family offices, financial advisors and institutional investors that features a diversified listing of private capital fund managers that deliver social and environmental impact as well as financial returns.
To continue to shine a light on impact fund innovation, the IA 50 added a new Emerging Impact Manager category, which spotlights newer fund managers that demonstrate potential to create meaningful impact. The inaugural list includes 16 emerging fund managers across a variety of themes and geographies.
"With record applicants and assets under management, the IA 50 continues to reflect the rapid growth and interest in impact investing," said Jed Emerson, ImpactAssets Senior Fellow, and IA 50 Review Committee Chair. "This year's showcase includes eleven impact funds with more than $1 billion in assets under management. And to ensure we're capturing the best future ideas, we've added emerging impact managers, who have the hunger, creativity and a willingness to explore alternatives that more seasoned fund managers may not."
The IA 50 2020 saw a record number of private debt and equity fund manager applications. Managers who met the IA 50's in-depth review criteria manage an estimated $39.8 billion in assets devoted to creating measurable, positive impact, up from $26.9 billion in 2019. Emerging impact managers direct nearly $400 million into cutting-edge strategies and high impact investments.
This year's showcase includes:
Investment Targets and UN Sustainable Development Goals: A total of 83% of managers targeted investment in people or places that are under threat or lack access to resources and opportunity, while 64% focused on underdeveloped markets where the market is relatively new, emerging, or subject to systemic challenges. Top UN SDG categories that fund managers focused on included 8 - Decent Work and Economic Growth (68%); 1 - No Poverty (63%) and 10 - Reduced Inequalities (58%).
Diversity and Inclusion: While Wall Street continues to struggle with building diverse teams, 85% of IA 50 fund managers report that 25% or more of their investment professionals are women and/or from under-represented groups, while half have teams with 50% or more women and other under-represented groups. In addition, 75% of firms have 25% or more percent management teams that are women or from under-represented groups.
Impact and Financial Return: Impact fund managers remained focused on delivering both positive impact and investment performance, with 78% targeting market rates or above market rates of return. A total of 97% of impact fund managers delivered either in line or above their initial target returns.
Emerging Impact Managers
The newly introduced IA 50 Emerging Impact Managers category represents fund managers that are in the early stage of their life cycle, and are often taking unique approaches to impact investing. Emerging Impact Managers may have less than $25MM in Assets Under Management and/or been operating for fewer than three years.
Emerging Impact Manager firms were selected according to a set of criteria developed to ensure a diverse set of firms with commitment to impact and representing a range of approaches, asset classes and impact areas. Particular consideration was given to firms that demonstrate a unique strategy, under-represented impact theme and diversity in leadership in view of the application pool.
"As the impact investing field evolves, we can't lose sight of innovation," said IA 50 Review Committee Member Julia W. Sze, CFA, of Julia W. Sze Consulting. "The emerging managers we selected have developed strategies in new sectors and geographies, are often led by women and people of color, and add new depth to the impact investment universe."
In addition to Emerson and Sze, the IA 50 Review Committee is comprised of an expanded group of 14 impact investment experts and leaders, including Lauren Booker Allen, Vice President, Jordan Park Group Impact Advisory; Mark Berryman, Managing Director of Impact Investing, The CAPROCK Group; Ronald A. Homer, Chief Strategist, Impact Investing, RBC Global Asset Management (US) Inc.; Karl "Charly" Kleissner, Ph.D., Co-Founder of Toniic and KL Felicitas Foundation; Kathy Leonard, Senior Vice President, Investments and Senior Portfolio Manager, UBS; Malaika Maphalala, CPWA Private Wealth Advisor, Natural Investments, LLC; Cynthia Muller, Director of Mission Investment, W.K. Kellogg Foundation; Stephanie Cohn Rupp, Managing Director and Partner, Tiedemann Wealth Management; Fran Seegull, Executive Director, U.S. Impact Investing Alliance, Ford Foundation; Liesel Pritzker Simmons and Ian Simmons, Co-Founders of Blue Haven Initiative; and Margret Trilli, President and CIO, ImpactAssets.
Sandra Osborne Kartt, CFA, Director, Investments, ImpactAssets and Jennifer Kenning, CEO and Co-Founder of Align Impact and IA 50 Senior Investment Advisor, led the ImpactAssets and Align Impact Investment teams in the application scoring and analysis process.
"The IA 50 is a proven and trusted way for investors to start exploring a subset of managers that are already working in this area and determining what interesting impact investments an investor can make today," said Osborne Kartt. "We are excited by growing investor appetite as well as the diverse array of impact themes and strategies represented by this year's list."

Croxel announces the KIOTE/11, a low power, cellular IoT development platform containing all key elements for rapid prototyping of IoT products. While KIOTE/11 is feature rich to support a wide variety of applications, Croxel can customize KIOTE/11 to support unique demands.
Albert Garvett, CEO of Croxel says, "We know from experience it can be a real challenge to build applications on many of the platforms available today. We really wanted to develop a multi-tool development engine that allows us with our customers to quickly deploy cellular IoT applications with a full set of on-board sensors; a cloud-based platform for data storage and analytics; mobile and web dashboards; and readily available for monitoring and controlling."
Croxel designed KIOTE/11 from the ground up leveraging the Nordic Semiconductor highly integrated System-in-Package (SiP) nRF9160 to take advantage of the rapid expansion of LTE Cat M1/NB IoT cellular networks.
KIOTE/11 is a flexible and customizable Cellular IoT platform with integrated GPS tracking capabilities plus extensive sensing features including temperature, humidity and barometric pressure; ambient light intensity and colors; sound level, long range PIR motion; shock and vibration detection; orientation recognition, proximity measurements and magnet detection.
The Croxel KIOTE/11 hardware features include onboard GPS and LTE-Cat M1/NB IoT antennas; rechargeable battery, USB charging, audio DAC with speaker output; digital microphone, RGB LED, beeper, user button, and a range of expansion interfaces.
KIOTE/11's cloud based data analytics allows for custom applications of web and mobile dashboards, reporting, and alert notifications.
The KIOTE/11 platform from Croxel comprises all necessary hardware, firmware and software to fast track the most challenging of cellular IoT designs. The versatile platform allows Croxel to customize KIOTE/11 for unique customer applications. Croxel can add or remove sensors; change the board size or shape; support any power source or change its form factor.
Croxel Chief Technology Officer, Chet Neeley adds, "Croxel can help from requirements definition and analysis, through rapid proof of concept development and finally into production. Our in-house firmware, application software, design capture, PCB layout, mechanical design, SMT PCB assembly, 3D printing and 3 axis machining capabilities allow us to quickly execute on a wide range of solutions. We welcome challenges."
