Company is among the first to secure a patent to use blockchain in connection with ag data licensing or sales

LEAWOOD, KAN. (PRWEB) MARCH 04, 2020
Farmobile LLC, Agriculture's Independent Data Company, today announced that the United States Patent and Trademark Office has issued U.S. Patent No. 10,491,608, entitled, "Distributed Transaction-Based Security and Tracking of Agricultural Machine and Agronomic Data." Farmobile's cutting-edge innovation harnesses the benefits of blockchain technology to ensure that Farmobile's DataStore℠ transactions can be tracked, immutably recorded and reliably audited.
Among other things, Farmobile's now patented blockchain technology ensures that only authorized individuals have access to data they have personally purchased, licensed or uploaded through the Farmobile DataStore exchange.
Farmobile is the among the first to secure a patent to use blockchain in connection with ag data licensing or sales.
"This is a very big deal and a significant addition to Farmobile's patent portfolio. It demonstrates our team's ongoing dedication to innovation, invention and establishing protocols to guide and ensure data provenance, tracking and security for data monetization opportunities between participating farmers and a plethora of buyers who want access to these proprietary data sets," said Jason Tatge, Farmobile CEO. "Farmers using the Farmobile Data Store exchange will now have an even more secure and more transparent way of selling their data and managing farm data licenses across multiple buyers."
Farmobile's DataStore is the world's first online marketplace for agricultural data, created to fairly compensate farmers for their digital assets. The exchange facilitates transactions between a data buyer and interested farmer-sellers. Those who choose to participate can sell single-use licensed copies of their certified agronomic and machine data for use by the licensing party only after approving the buyer and all transaction details.
"From the beginning, we recognized the importance of developing and then protecting our technology," noted Chris Schibi, Farmobile chief technology officer. "As the market visionary in creating a digital marketplace for farmers, we knew that we had to prioritize data tracking and transparency, which is vital to Farmobile's collect-share-monetize ecosystem. We are proud to have our innovation recognized by the U.S. patent office."
Under the patent, Farmobile retains exclusive right to use blockchain (distributed ledger technologies) to track electronic agricultural data sets based on associated transactions through the Farmobile DataStore. Credited for the invention include: Jason Tatge, CEO; Chris Schibi, chief technology officer, and Daniel Mola, chief architect.
"Our mission has always been to do whatever we can to help keep farmers farming and rural America strong," said Tatge. "I believe the technology we're building is vital for the future of agriculture and a way to put new dollars back into our rural communities. Science-worthy, machine-readable data can impact many stakeholders in the industry. Companies providing services and products to farmers become better informed and more efficient in their ability to improve a farm's bottom line. The Farmobile DataStore exchange is just one more tool that can add value for farmers."

Paint dealers can offer contractor pricing and redeem Benjamin Moore rebates through the point of sale.

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. (PRWEB) MARCH 04, 2020
Celerant Technology, a leading provider of innovative retail solutions, today unveiled new features designed to automate the rebate process for Benjamin Moore's Contractor & Commercial Pricing Program (CCP) for participating paint dealers.
Celerant's multi-channel retail software integrates paint suppliers, contractor management, and paint and hardware inventory all in a single platform. With Celerant, independent and small chain paint retailers can manage in store and online sales, import product catalogs, automatically reorder inventory, provide contractor pricing, manage in-house charge accounts, offer loyalty rewards, create special orders, lookup the purchase history per customer, and much more.
Automating Benjamin Moore rebates at the point of sale
Celerant's point of sale streamlines the rebate process with Benjamin Moore's Contractor & Commercial Pricing Program (CCP). Through the POS, retailers can generate, and automatically send a report to Benjamin Moore to receive credit for qualifying items. After selecting a date range, the report pulls and formats the necessary data based on the requirements of the rebate program including: Benjamin Moore Outlet Number, Customer ID, Address, Receipt ID, UPC Code, Item Description, Item Quantity, Selling Price, Job Number, Sales Rep and more. This makes it easier for retailers to participate and benefit from Benjamin Moore's CCP program.
"With our new reporting functionality, our retail software easily consolidates all of the necessary information to then automatically send to Benjamin Moore," said Ian Goldman, CEO and President of Celerant Technology. "By eliminating the manual process, our paint dealers have more time to focus on what really matters- their customers."

Loopio unveiled a redesigned platform today, the most significant update to user-experience in the company's history

TORONTO (PRWEB) MARCH 04, 2020
Loopio, the leading provider of Request for Proposal (RFP) response software, unveiled a redesigned platform today, the most significant update to user-experience and functionality in the company's history.
The cloud-based platform stores content—such as product information, marketing messages, and other sales information—in a centralized Library for easier collaboration on RFPs and Security Questionnaires. The new update includes a completely redesigned project workspace, new user views, reporting capabilities, and most significantly, smarter automation tools, which enable users to complete RFPs in a matter of clicks.
"Over the last six years, Loopio's platform has made the RFP response process dramatically better for tens of thousands of people," says Zak Hemraj, CEO and Co-Founder of Loopio. "But at Loopio, we always strive to learn, evolve, and drive more impact for our customers. We gathered feedback from hundreds of users, and went through many iterations while designing our new workspace. I'm proud of the giant leap forward we've made with our reimagined platform, and can't wait to see how this empowers companies to work smarter, faster, and more flexibly."
Loopio provides a central location to complete RFPs with ease, by introducing:

Smarter Automation Tools. Loopio's Magic automation tool and Search functionality have both been enhanced to make finding the right answer to RFP questions faster and easier.

Insightful Reporting. The redesigned dashboard provides a bird's eye view of progress across all collaborators, to help teams prioritize their most urgent tasks.

Three New Views. Users can save more time working on RFP projects by choosing their preferred view. Project View enables users to manage every aspect of an RFP project—from answering questions for every response in a single project; Focus View provides a distraction-free environment for quickly answering questions; Source View looks like a traditional word processor or spreadsheet, but with the power of Loopio's automation tools.

"I love the new project space. It's so flexible, with so many great new features, I can work at light speed," says Kathryn Bennett, an RFP Technical Writer from Dude Solutions, and a Loopio customer.
This is one of many platform enhancements that Loopio has undergone in the past couple of months, including the introduction of a multi-language library (which supports English, French, German, Portuguese, and Spanish), and new integrations with Google Chrome, Slack, and Microsoft Dynamics 365.
Since 2014, Loopio has been adopted by more than 750 world-leading organizations, including DocuSign, FedEx, Eventbrite, IBM, Sprinklr, and Thomson Reuters. More information can be found on Loopio's website. ‍

Thiess, the world's largest mining contractor, has chosen the Wenco Mine Performance Suite to run its operations at Antofagasta's Centinela mine in northern Chile.

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA (PRWEB) MARCH 04, 2020
Wenco's expansion throughout South America continues as Thiess, the world's largest mining contractor, has chosen the Wenco Mine Performance Suite to run its operations at Antofagasta's Centinela mine in northern Chile.
Centinela mine sits 1,350 km north of Santiago in the Antofagasta Region of Chile, one of the country's most important mining areas. Antofagasta Minerals has contracted Thiess to develop the Encuentro Oxides pit, which will contribute to the mine's production of 50,000 tonnes of copper cathode per year for a planned lifespan of 15 years.
To monitor and control this production, Thiess is leveraging the Wencomine fleet management system. The system will optimize productivity and efficiency across the pit's 56 active units, including 12 high-precision loading units and five high-precision drill rigs.
Thiess chose Wenco for its reputation in delivering strong production functionality and a streamlined implementation process with minimal impact on day-to-day mine operations.
Expanding the business relationship with Thiess in South America is strategically important for Wenco as well. Contractor-operated sites are common throughout the region and they stand as a significant growth market for the company. Likewise, contractor partnerships form a key part of the open and interoperable ecosystem of partners pushed by Wenco and its parent company, Hitachi Construction Machinery.
"We're very pleased to implement the Wenco Mine Performance Suite at the Encuentro Oxides development," says Wenco Regional Manager — Latin America José Eugenio Saravia.
"Wenco has worked with Thiess at various mining developments around the world and our solutions are ideal for the productivity improvements and ease of deployment they require. We're looking forward to a long and profitable business together."
This sale is another boon to Wenco in the region, following recent sales to Chinchillas and Pucamarca mines and a new partnership with Brazilian mining solutions provider Tecwise.
"Contractors like Thiess are a major growth area for Wenco and the industry as a whole. We're seeing a great many more opportunities of this sort throughout Latin America," says Saravia.
"As well, we're seeing more and more customers excited to partner with a Hitachi-owned company like Wenco, who can deliver the reliability and support only available from a major OEM and global mining leader."
To learn more about the Wenco Mine Performance Suite or Wenco operations in Latin America, please contact Regional Manager — Latin America José Eugenio Saravia at +56 2 3210 3811 or southamerica@wencomine.com.

According to Market Force data, the casual dining sector appears to be hitting a plateau, with constant or declining customer satisfaction levels in nearly every category vs. their performance in the 2018 study. The annual study of nearly 6,600 consumers reveals diner's favorite casual dining restaurants in seven categories including General Menu, Breakfast, Buffet, Italian, Pizza, Seafood, and Steakhouse. First Watch has been selected as America's new favorite restaurant brand!

PEACHTREE CORNERS, GA. (PRWEB) MARCH 04, 2020
Every year Market Force Information studies the top multi-unit brands across several industries to uncover the best of the best. Through Market Force's unique approach to analytics, they determine what matters most to consumers and how top brands compare across several dimensions of the customer experience. For Market Force clients, this expertise is then applied in combination with technology and data science to provide guidance that helps brands improve their sales, profitability, and appeal to consumers. This unique capability has been recognized by industry analysts and is applied by global brands to deliver continuous performance improvement.
Market Force Casual Dining Review 2019
According to Market Force data, the casual dining sector appears to be hitting a plateau, with constant or declining customer satisfaction levels in nearly every category vs. their performance in the 2018 study. Creating the perfect environment for innovative brands to capture market share, putting pressure on mature players. According to the latest restaurant industry study, there is a new leader in Casual Dining! First Watch has been selected as America's new favorite restaurant brand. Further, National Restaurant News data shows the corresponding financial impact of industry leadership with First Watch posting year over year growth of 33.04% as compared to the prior year's growth of 30.83%, a tremendous accomplishment.
The annual study of nearly 6,600 consumers reveals diner's favorite casual dining restaurants in seven categories including Breakfast, Buffet, Italian, Pizza, Seafood, and Steakhouse. For an in-depth review of the study in its entirety, please get in touch to learn more.
Winners and Losers
The hottest category, in terms of customer satisfaction and loyalty, continues to be Steakhouses with a composite loyalty index (CLI) score of 56.65%. Steakhouses continue to lead the way, while restaurants offering general menu and buffet offerings struggle to delight consumers. With a difference of nearly 14% on the rating scale, the Steakhouse is 32% higher than the CLI score for the lowest-performing category of General Menu.
At the top of the Steakhouse leaderboard is Texas Roadhouse featuring a repeat victory. In an interview with Scott Griffith, Market Force's SVP of Global Innovation, he cited that "From an operations perspective, they are one of the few brands who have been able to execute a platform of hospitality consistently. With special touches such as using customer names, engaging in conversation, and truly getting to know patrons, they have developed a leading service platform. This platform led to a unique advantaged position, from a customer experience perspective, helping to deliver 9.55% sales growth year over year."
The reality is that top-performing brands understand the importance of customer experience better than their rivals do. This understanding paired with customer experience management systems and processes (that include the following: employee engagement and recognition with compensation programs, customer surveys and support with loyalty programs, mystery shopping, social media monitoring, and internal audits), ensure guest satisfaction is measured from every angle. With a solid foundation of data to measure execution at the front lines, brands that are successful at delivering consistent guest experiences earn trust from diners leading to brand loyalty and repeat visits.
According to Scott Griffith, "Exceptional brands also tend to have exceptional cultures with an emphasis on people and performance at their core. Companies that are seeing remarkable success today are better at hiring, training, managing, rewarding, and firing when necessary than their peers. They become talent magnets while their peers struggle to find quality employees."
Brands that struggle with front-line execution also tend to struggle with sales growth as they lose market share to more disciplined competitors. To compensate for lost market share, struggling brands may turn their focus to advertising and discounting practices to bring customers in, only to disappoint them with a second-rate customer experience, lack-luster food quality, and dirty aging facilities. A financially risky game to play! Brands that neglect improving front-line execution remain at risk of further margin erosion, whereas merely focusing on operational performance can be a far more effective path to sustainable organic growth.
This challenge is precisely what Market Force addresses with its global clientele. According to Brad Christian, the company's Chief Customer Officer, "The first step in delivering consistency is an accurate assessment of reality so that brands can create a strategy based on the priorities that are most likely to influence their financial performance."
By executing industry-focused annual competitive research studies, Market Force provides industry executives with an objective consumer perspective on their brand's ability to perform across critical dimensions of the customer experience. With a true education in market perception, it becomes easier for industry leaders to allocate dollars appropriately for operations and marketing initiatives to optimize the performance of their respective businesses.
The Top 4 Brands Were Category Winners in Their Respective Categories
1. First Watch dominated the breakfast category creating a massive gap between themselves and the competition. Not only winning breakfast, First Watch claimed the top overall ranking in Market Force's 2019 Casual Dining Study.
2. Pappadeaux dominated the seafood category with a CLI of 64%, 8 points above the next highest ranked, BoneFish with a 56% CLI.
3. Texas Roadhouse won top honors in the Steakhouse category with a CLI of 61% due to its outstanding service platform delivering the trifecta of friendly, fast, and experiential service.
4. MOD Pizza and Mellow Mushroom were neck and neck in the pizza category with CLIs of 59.8% and 59.7%, respectively. In 2019, MOD held on to the top spot but fell significantly from its 2018 position of dominance. Rapid growth is the most likely culprit as they were the fastest-growing brand in our study, with 44.7% sales growth year over year, as reported by National Restaurant News.
The Biggest Movers
The top three brands that changed their stars to improve CLI scores significantly were California Pizza Kitchen moving up 13%, Pizza Hut for their buffet offering at plus 11%, and First Watch with a 10% gain over 2018 results. Brands that experienced challenges included MOD pizza with a 16% slip, Cracker Barrel down 11%, and Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen that experienced a 9% drop, in comparison to 2018 results.
Significant changes in performance validate the industry's sensitivity to fluctuations in execution across key food dimensions like quality, service, and facilities. Mature brands that drive positive change are rewarded for improvements, while up and coming stars often lose their way under the pressures of growth and expansion. First Watch continues to post impressive numbers with growth at 33%+, and California Pizza Kitchen and Pizza Hut both transitioned from negative to positive sales growth in 2019. They are demonstrating that improving customer experience can precipitate continued growth and a progressive turnaround.
Methodology
To develop the list of brand rankings, Market Force asked survey participants to rate their last experience at a casual dining chain and their likelihood to recommend it to others. That data was averaged to evaluate each brand on an aggregation of the two measures creating the Composite Loyalty Index (CLI). Only brands that received 100 or more reviews were included in the rankings.
Survey Demographics
The survey was conducted online in November 2019 across the United States. The pool of 6,598 respondents represented a cross-section of the four Census regions and reflected a broad spectrum of income levels, with 58% reporting household incomes of more than $50,000 a year. Respondent ages ranged from 18 to over 65. Approximately 73% were female, 26% were male, and 1% preferred not to answer.

Press-only preview of colorful 100K+ tulip garden and a unique flower mosaic showcase on Union Square in celebration of spring; Flower Bulb Day presented by Royal Anthos with additional backing and support from the European Union

SAN FRANCISCO (PRWEB) MARCH 04, 2020
WHAT: Press are cordially invited to a media-only preview of Flower Bulb Day 2020, a showcase of 100K+ colorful tulips and a unique flower mosaic display on Union Square on Saturday, March 7, 2020. Accredited media will be able to explore the tulip garden, take photos, film b-roll, and speak one-on-one with the Chairman of Royal Anthos, presenter of Flower Bulb Day, the Dutch Consulate General and California-based tulip farmers ahead of the opening of the flower bulb garden to the public.
Flower Bulb Day is a stunning celebration of spring during which more than 100K varieties of American-produced tulips grown from European bulbs take over San Francisco's historic Union Square. Presented by Royal Anthos, with additional backing and support from the European Union, the free "tulip garden" will be open for the public's enjoyment, with visitors encouraged to pick their own bunch of tulips to welcome the spring season. Access to the flower bulb garden on Union Square is free -- and so are the tulips!
Additionally, music will be in the air and an information booth will be set up on Union Square to answer questions and for the public to learn more about growing flower bulbs -- as well as a special guest appearance by globally beloved children's character, Miffy, who celebrates her 65th birthday this year.
WHY: Flower Bulb Day celebrates and showcases the beauty and availability of classic, cheerful European flower bulbs. European traders export flower bulbs to more than 100 countries worldwide, and the US is by far the largest export market for European-grown flower bulbs. European traders alone export approximately 100 different species of flower bulbs annually, including large quantities of lilies, hyacinths, daffodils, dahlias and gladioli. More than one billion flower bulbs are exported from Europe to the US every year, where they are planted in private and public gardens, as well as greenhouses by professional growers for the production of cut flowers. Check out this video to learn more.
WHERE: San Francisco's Union Square (conveniently located near the Powell Street BART station).
WHEN: Saturday, March 7, 2020. Press preview begins at 11:00 a.m. and concludes at 1:00 p.m. Gates open to the public at 1:00 p.m. and close at 4:30 p.m., when all 100K tulip bulbs will have been picked.

BETHESDA, MD. (PRWEB) MARCH 04, 2020
The Center for Advancing Innovation (CAI) announces a ground-breaking panel session at South by Southwest (SXSW) to ignite a conversation about how we can better integrate artists into high-tech startups. Involving artists in high-tech startups cultivates and nurtures "art spirit", driving creativity and disruption, solving puzzles and changing boundaries, and ultimately making startups poised for sustainable success.
We're inviting people passionate about how art and technology can intersect and make the tech industry more diverse, inclusive, and dynamic. Panel participants include Sheri Sobrato, Co-Founder of Resonance Philanthropies, Jordan Gray, Co-Founder of CODAME, and Rosemarie Truman, Founder and CEO of CAI.

Panelists from CODAME and CAI engage artists and high tech through their respective initiatives. With support from the Walton Family Foundation, CAI is leading the first initiative to systematically unite artists with both government IP and high-tech entrepreneurs.
For 10 years CODAME has inspired technologists to value creativity and provided artists with potent opportunities. They spark visionaries through inclusive workshops and an annual ART+TECH Festival.

Sheri Sobrato of Resonance Philanthropies is the visionary behind Shadow's Edge, a free mobile game that helps teens and young adults facing chronic or serious illness. The app builds emotional resilience by having players express themselves through art, particularly graffiti. Sheri Sobrato said, "Art moves us beyond our limitations, makes us feel, and inspires empathy. Art can bring us to new levels, if we invite art into our lives and artists into our projects."
Rosemarie Truman commented, "The artists that have been the most involved in their respective startups have proven to outperform others. We look forward to revealing some hard facts about the impact and outcomes that occur when artists are involved in high-tech startups."
Few organizations have successfully implemented a formula for injecting artists into high tech. We'll discuss the secret sauce and value add that comes from marrying artists with tech!

Enabling real-time decisions across distributed Network Infrastructure environments

RALEIGH, N.C. (PRWEB) MARCH 05, 2020
Power Analytics Global, a next generation technology platform company that specializes in critical network infrastructure software monitoring, prediction, simulation and data-analytics, and Molecula, a Cloud Data Access company that simplifies, accelerates, and enables instantaneous, secure access to large, fragmented, and geographically distributed data sets to support the most demanding Machine Learning (ML), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and IoT workloads, announced today a strategic partnership.
The goal of the partnership is to deliver a combined offering for customers to cost effectively protect and enhance their critical revenue resulting in higher margins, customer retention and more informed capital allocation decisions. The combined offering will allow customers to drastically reduce the cost, time and complexity of accessing critical, operational data from globally distributed network assets and infrastructure. The hardened tools and real-time capabilities of this powerful combination enable our clients to incorporate, predict trends, and take action in real-time across relevant components of distributed data sets while lowering the hardware footprint needed to store, process and make decisions from the operational data streaming from these critical networks.
The Power Analytics suite of world-class software gives network infrastructure management and electrical engineering professionals control over their critical power infrastructure from design and modeling to simulation and analysis, saving millions of dollars, eliminating downtime, recovering stranded load capacity, reducing energy costs and optimizing business continuity. Power Analytics' cloud platform and next-generation analytics Power Digital Twin (PDT), are built on proprietary intellectual property and decades of engineering and design expertise. Power Analytics boasts a portfolio of 24 patents. The platforms allow customers to take full control of their critical network infrastructure, reduce costs, automate operations, and improve business reliability.
Keith Barksdale, Chairman of Power Analytics Global stated, "This partnership and unique product offering will allow us to bring an unrivaled solution to the Digital Twin marketplace which is estimated to grow in size from ~$3.8 billion today to ~$35-$40 billion by 2025. We are the only network software infrastructure company in the world who has combined power modeling with a Cloud Data Access platform, enabling real-time modeling and analytics across distributed network assets for the Digital Twin network infrastructure marketplace."
Kevin Meagher President of Power Analytics added, "This new partnership also demonstrates the fundamental strategy to 'future proof" this enterprise solution, bringing power and energy into advanced analytics that is integrated to the entire digital twin/AI/ML for any organization."
Molecula's differentiated approach to Data Access allows enterprises to access all of their data at the speed of thought, reducing the time and cost it takes to go from data to decision—without pre-aggregating, moving, copying data, nor federating queries to underlying source systems. Uniquely, this approach results in instant access to disparate data sets and a more efficient analytical data infrastructure, without compromising on governance or compliance and reducing infrastructure footprints by up to 100x.
Molecula's patented ability to deliver highly-performant representations of large, disparate data sources, provides real-time access to all data in-memory, avoiding data movement and provides a layer of abstraction above the physical implementation of data, irrespective of the source, how it is formatted and where it is physically located.
"We are thrilled to be partnering with Power Analytics to enable the future-proof predictive monitoring of such critical operational network infrastructures. The massive amount of real-time data being generated by the complex and distributed components of these networks are at a scale that Molecula can uniquely process," said H.O. Maycotte, CEO and Founder of Molecula. "This integrated solution will modernize the analytical and AI/ML capabilities of Global 2000 organizations who desperately need to simplify, accelerate and improve control over the data being generated by these critical communications infrastructures."
As we move into a new decade, companies must invest in an upgrade of their fundamental network infrastructure and allow AI to unlock revenue opportunities from the increased amount of real-time data that is being generated by all of the connected sensors and devices within a digitized data network. Growing inefficiency in data management is costing businesses, delaying decisions, and obstructing real time insights.
We've reached a tipping point in data access where the effort involved in making data accessible is far exceeding the value we currently create with the data. Though we are heading into a digitalized world, the exponential growth and complexity of data is creating new inefficiencies and inhibiting the power and insight that data can provide. Current data infrastructure and management is costly and unable to support the size, complexity, speed, and urgency of future data.

WorldWatch Plus, Inc., the Know Your Customer Risk (KYC Risk) and KYC Identity (KYC ID) risk screening company that leverages the power of Cognitive Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), and advanced Natural Language Processing (NLP), today announced it has completed a $2.9 million Series A round of financing.

KENNESAW, GA. (PRWEB) MARCH 05, 2020
WorldWatch Plus, Inc., the Know Your Customer Risk (KYC Risk) and KYC Identity (KYC ID) risk screening company that leverages the power of Cognitive Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), and advanced Natural Language Processing (NLP), today announced it has completed a $2.9 million Series A round of financing.
Naples Technology Ventures led the investment round with participation from existing investors, including a group of well-known individual technology angel investors.
The Series A financing and re-alignment of resources builds on an exceptional year for WorldWatch Plus, which saw a rapidly growing roster of global clients, key executive and advisory board appointments, and market momentum in the areas of KYC applications such as Anti-Money-Laundering (AML), Counter-Financing of Terrorism (CFT) and prevention of human trafficking funding, and digital customer on-boarding.
"WorldWatch Plus's offering is well-timed with the rapidly increasing demand for KYC solutions that extend coverage beyond the current legacy database solutions and improve efficiency, while reducing false positives, through the use of AI and other advanced technologies developed by the WWPlus team," said Mike Abbaei, general partner with Naples Technology Ventures. "We believe the market will continue to see a shift of compliance spending to more advanced AI-driven solutions like WorldWatch Plus as companies, beyond financial institutions, consumer reporting agencies, and online gaming companies increase their compliance efforts and look to efficiently and cost effectively reduce their risk profile. WorldWatch Plus is a powerful solution for multiple industries and we are excited to collaborate and support them as they work to continue building a great company in an exciting category."
WorldWatch Plus's risk screening platform gathers, analyzes and transforms risk information from thousands of sources across the world in multiple languages into a searchable entity index distributed and available in real time. At the heart of the solution is the Global Risk Information eXchange (GRIX), a proprietary platform which uses advanced technologies to identify "risky entities" (individuals or companies) according to each client's risk tolerance profile. The solution reduces risk and cost, while expanding coverage to a global basis.
"This investment by such a sophisticated group, further validates our choice to have selected WorldWatch Plus as our solution for KYC risk management. The continually updated global coverage, the unique combination of technologies, and the easy integration through API's makes this the most efficient and effective solution in the market today," said Doug Pollard, CEO of Pollard Banknote, a leading lottery solutions provider.
"After six years of development and market testing by customers in multiple industries, we are still finding new use cases for our platform solution; We have only scratched the surface of how much risk reduction we can deliver using the platform," said WorldWatch Plus Co-Founder Chuck Papageorgiou, who will remain an advisor to the company and on the Board of Directors. "Having the financial support, domain expertise, and significant industry connections of Naples Technology Ventures will help the team continue execute on the vision even more rapidly and broadly - and with the benefit of experience, perspective and relationships of a leading tech investor."

Provider of the only all-in-one spend management platform will use funds from Bain Capital Ventures and First Round Ventures to hire, boost product development, and open NYC office

SAN FRANCISCO (PRWEB) MARCH 05, 2020
Airbase, the only all-in-one platform for spend management, today announced it has raised $23.5 million in Series A extension funding led by new investor Bain Capital Ventures. Returning investors First Round Capital and BoxGroup also participated in the round, as well as Webb Investment Network, an early-stage fund run by former Liveops CEO Maynard Webb; Frederic Kerrest, Executive Vice Chairman, COO, and co-founder of Okta; and Ron Gill, former CFO of NetSuite. Airbase will use the capital to increase the size of its team, invest in product development, and open a New York City office. To date, Airbase has raised $30.8 million in venture capital financing.
"Companies see the value in streamlining spend management in one place, so Airbase is adding customers quickly. When trusted investors approached us with the possibility of raising more funding, we decided to accelerate our plans and invest significantly in growth," said Thejo Kote, founder and CEO of Airbase. "We're thrilled to announce support from Bain Capital Ventures, welcoming to our board Partner Ajay Agarwal, who brings deep expertise in the enterprise software and fintech domains."
Airbase is a modern spend management platform that saves companies time and money by enabling them to manage every aspect of corporate spending. With Airbase, finance and accounting teams can control expense requests and approvals, perform invoice processing, make bill payments, and reconcile all accounting on one platform. Airbase replaces the usual spend management set-up of multiple siloed solutions, such as one platform for pre-approvals, one for filing expenses, one for paying bills, and another for credit cards, and enables companies to track the flow of every dollar from their bank accounts into the general ledger in real time. Airbase is fully integrated with accounting platforms Oracle NetSuite, QuickBooks Online, Xero, and Sage Intacct. Fast-growing companies such as Front, Gusto, Doximity, Segment, Tatcha, and Getaround are already using Airbase to manage their spending.
"Airbase brings together finance workflows typically held in disparate software and payment systems into one seamless experience and their visionary product is being rapidly adopted by high-growth companies," said Agarwal from Bain Capital Ventures. "We invested in Airbase because their technology solves a real-world problem, but also because we believe strongly in CEO and Founder Thejo Kote, who has already successfully built and exited one software company, and in the excellent team he has hired."
Kote started Airbase to solve a pressing problem: managing spending at fast-growing companies. As he himself was building his former company, Automatic, from startup through a $115-million acquisition, Kote was frustrated with how complicated it was to manage non-payroll spending on everything from software subscriptions, to supplies, employee travel, and vendor payments. In a typical company, employees requesting expenses use a tool like email, Slack, or Google Forms to ask for approval and then put approved charges on a company or personal credit card. Employees then use a tool like Expensify to record all receipts and wait several weeks to get reimbursed through ACH transfer. Vendor invoices and payments are handled separately through a PO process or Bill.com. At the end of the month, the accounts payable team reconciles all charges in accounting software. Airbase eliminates all these separate tools and enables companies to manage all aspects of spending in one workflow.
Startups in particular are laser-focused on controlling spending to reach profitability. For example, Front, provider of a popular email collaboration tool that was named a Next-Billion-Dollar Startup by Forbes and now has over 5,500 customers, is using Airbase to keep track of all its corporate spend.
"As a fast-growing company that has raised over $138 million in funding and is adding customers every week, it's critical to put spending controls in place to ensure we stay lean, efficient, and focused on profitability," said Jenny Decker, CFO of Front. "Airbase is an employee-friendly platform that has helped us implement spending controls without heavy bureaucracy. Consolidating all our payments into one system lets our accounts team automate all expense, payment, and accounting tasks so we can ensure every penny spent is helping Front grow and succeed."
With Airbase, companies no longer waste time tracking down how, why, when, and where money is spent each month. Airbase allows finance and accounting teams to move past the cycle of manual reconciliation, data entry, and follow-ups to instead focus on growing their companies.
About Airbase
Airbase is the first all-in-one spend management platform built for today's growing companies. Airbase combines expense approvals, physical and virtual cards, bill payments, reporting, and accounting automation into a single platform that employees love using. Fast-growing companies including Front, Gusto, Doximity, Segment, and Getaround use Airbase to get full control and visibility into their spending, automate accounting processes, and make purchasing painless for employees.
About Bain Capital Ventures
Bain Capital Ventures partners with disruptive founders to accelerate their ideas to market. The firm invests from seed to growth in startups driving transformation across industries, from SaaS, infrastructure software and security to fintech and healthcare to commerce and consumer tech. The firm has helped launch and commercialize more than 240 companies, including DocuSign, Jet.com, Kiva Systems, Lime, LinkedIn, Rapid7, Redis Labs, Rent the Runway, Rubrik, SendGrid and SurveyMonkey. Bain Capital Ventures has $5.2 billion in assets under management with offices in San Francisco, New York, Boston, and Palo Alto. Follow the firm via LinkedIn and Twitter.

Investments in new technologies help Equifax protect sensitive data

WASHINGTON (PRWEB) MARCH 05, 2020
Active Navigation, a data privacy and governance software provider, today announced it is working with Equifax – a global data, analytics and technology company – to identify, classify and protect sensitive data assets. The ongoing project, which started in early 2018, is part of the security and technology transformation currently underway at Equifax.
Data mapping is a key component of operationalizing and maintaining a rigorous, fully compliant data privacy program. Active Navigation's Discovery Center, which easily integrates into large and complex technology stacks, accurately maps data flows and actions data at the scale and performance levels required by global technology companies like Equifax. Active Navigation's proprietary file analysis technology provides organizations with a repeatable and defensible solution to keep their data maps accurate and up to date.
"We're proud to be a part of Equifax's technological and data governance transformation," said Peter Baumann, CEO of Active Navigation. "As a data-driven organization, Equifax understands the need to underpin data privacy and security in everything they do. Our Discovery Center platform is playing a critical role in helping Equifax become a global leader in data-driven insights."
Equifax is using Active Navigation's Discovery Center to identify and delete unnecessary records to reduce its overall surface footprint. The Discovery Center platform, leveraging a proprietary multi-language GDPR rule set, helps companies like Equifax index unstructured data and quickly protect millions of records. Unlike other eDiscovery and information governance solutions that require data ingestion and culling before performing analysis, Discovery Center works at scale on files in place and provides information down to the file level, enabling rapid and informed remediation decisions to be made across any connected repository.
"Investing in data protection technologies is a key part of our transformation," said Nick Oldham, Chief Privacy and Data Governance Officer at Equifax. "Active Navigation has been a good partner for us during our transformation."
About Active Navigation
Active Navigation is a data privacy and governance software company. Its product suite enables enterprises and government entities to map, clean, classify, quarantine and delete redundant, obsolete and trivial data.

Community Leaders Come Together to Educate Women to Start a Career in the Information Technology (IT) Field

MIAMI (PRWEB) MARCH 06, 2020
New Horizons Computer Learning Centers of South Florida, the leading IT educator for individuals and corporations, is honored to host a very special Women in Technology Graduation Celebration and Job Placement event with CareerSource South Florida and YWCA of Greater Miami-Dade.
The Women in Technology celebration will be held from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. on March 6 at YWCA of Greater Miami-Dade, 351 NW 5th St., Miami, FL 33128.
"Women in Technology was a program initiated from a vision working with YWCA and CareerSouce South Florida to help increase the number of women working in the IT field. We invested the funds and launched the TechHire program as a way to advance more women in IT," said Rick Beasley, Executive Director, CareerSource South Florida.
"There was an opportunity to bring another TechHire to YWCA. It was a way for us to respond to a huge mission priority, and it was an opportunity for CareerSource South Florida and New Horizons Computer Learning Centers South Florida to bring in all the tools and educational programming that could help us meet the needs of the women in our community," said Kerry-Ann Royes, CEO, YWCA of Greater Miami-Dade.
Last year, 57% of professional jobs in the U.S. were held by women, but only 26% were in technology positions. The nationwide numbers are even more staggering with just 3% of African American women and 2% of Latino women in technology positions.
New Horizons South Florida is doing its part to close this divide. "As changes in technology have accelerated the need for gender diversity in the workplace has expanded, New Horizons has designed our curriculum to position students like Tekela Ford to succeed," said Arnie Girnun, CEO of New Horizons South Florida. "The achievements of women like Tekela Ford is what fuels our passion and our mission as we work together to prepare these women to enter the IT workforce and help close the women in technology gap in South Florida. We are honored and humbled to educate and connect these women to our strong network of employers to find a fulfilling career in IT."
The scholarships, in partnership with CareerSource South Florida, were awarded to six eligible women in Miami-Dade County to learn 21st Century technology skills in the fast-growing field of IT. The custom 12-week program focused on achieving certifications in CompTIA A+, CompTIA Network+, Microsoft Azure, and Cisco CCNA, along with job placement assistance upon graduation into a career in IT. The classes were held at the CareerSource South Florida TechHire Center for Women at the YWCA downtown.
"The opportunity to help someone with desire and need while also building gender diversity in technology is something we are passionate about at New Horizons. A chronic challenge in South Florida is the gap between the skills many companies in the technology sector need and the skills of the employees available," said Krista Wade, President of New Horizons South Florida. "With the support of employers and partners like CareerSource and YWCA, we're continuing to bring more women into technology and building a diverse tech ecosystem in South Florida."

The Shred Cube, the first product of its kind ever to hit the market officially launched on March 1st, 2020, bringing in a new frontier of fast, reliable, secure and permanent digital file deletion.
The key features of the Shred Cube include an easy to use drag-and-drop or attach interface, PC and Mac compatibility, and the peace of mind that your unwanted documents and files are actually gone with no trace left behind. The compact hand held "cube" weighs in at a feathery 2.3oz and comes in at a one-time cost of $159.99. With rigid dimensions of 1 x 1 x 1inches, the tiny profile makes it easy to transport and use across multiple devices.
"Our mission is to bring the simplicity of an office paper shredder to the world of digital files, all in a simple plug-and-play USB device."
-Nancie Williams, Co-Founder
Traditional file deletion software and programs often make computers even more vulnerable to common cyber threats, like malware, ransomware, and trojans by using downloadable software. Unless a person is downloading a well-known, highly-vetted file remover over the internet, there's no way of knowing what they're potentially exposing their computer or network to. There is always a degree of risk, even with the most noteworthy file removal programs.
The Shred Cube promises what other file removers simply cannot. Since the Shred Cube is an external device, users can be confident that no additional files or logs will be added to their system that could potentially compromise the machine's or network's security. Being wholly external, the Shred Cube permanently deletes digital files, folders or bulk data without software needing to be downloaded. Even better is that Shred Cube does not save any of the user's data to the cube itself and there is no trace of the cube being used on the device.
Because of its ability to quickly and securely remove sensitive data, the Shred Cube has a number of applications across multiple industries, including:
Healthcare
Financial
Legal
Corporate
Industrial
Consumer
About Shred Cube
Founders Alex Stieb and Nancie Williams created the Shred Cube with privacy at the forefront, creating an easier way to permanently delete sensitive personal data, client information, or any other computer files from any device in an instant. Nancie's background in the legal field combined with Alex's background in industrial manufacturing and engineering was the perfect union when it came to offering the general public this incredible innovation in cybersecurity.

Nexio can currently process payments in 136 currencies and adding this latest integration to South Africa provides another currency for payment processing.

OREM, UTAH (PRWEB) MARCH 09, 2020
Nexio, a payment hub, has recently announced that they have an enhanced integration that allows merchants to accept customer credit card payments in the South African Rand, as well as settle those transactions in the same currency. Nexio can currently process payments in 136 currencies and adding this latest integration to South Africa provides another currency for payment processing.
The South African financial services sector is changing to modernize its payments landscape to be more efficient and flexible. The industry has recognized the need to change to meet user demands, adopt new technology, and become less cash reliant. Card usage increased from 45% of retail volumes in 2010 to 56% in 2016. Debit transactions increased from 33 million in 2007 to 212 million in 2018. These trends indicated that consumers want more payment options. South Africa can evolve its payment structure to allow for more affordable, open, safe, reliable and trusted payment providers. Nexio is pleased to be working with one such payment provider.
About Nexio:
Based in Orem, Utah, USA, Nexio is a highly advanced, extremely dependable payment hub. The main payment engine is a modular and scalable platform that enables integrated payment solutions to be deployed in domestic and international markets. This is accomplished by successfully decreasing fraud, securing multiple transaction types, leveraging tokenization solutions and properly managing PCI and EMV compliance. Nexio integrates with solution providers in specific vertical markets.
The payment hub was built with a modern technology stack in a modular and agile form so that it can integrate with legacy technologies as well as accommodate newer solutions that extend to the marketplace in innovative ways. The dashboard's ease of use and configurability quickly give CFO's and other business managers information they can act on to manage and change the business metrics and trends needing attention.

Corban University recently announced that they would be relaunching the bachelor's degree in computer science, beginning Fall 2020. Joining the Corban Faculty Department to direct the program will be new hire Dr. Deborah Thomas. Incoming students who are interested in pursuing computer science are invited to apply to Corban University now.

SALEM, ORE. (PRWEB) MARCH 09, 2020
Corban University recently announced that they would be relaunching the bachelor's degree in computer science, beginning Fall 2020.
Dr. Tom Cornman, Provost, says, "We believe offering a four-year bachelor's degree in computer science will effectively prepare our students for increasing opportunities in a data-driven, data-rich world. While computer science majors will be especially equipped to meet today's data needs, even other majors will have the option to add a computer science minor and gain the analytical skills necessary for a world that relies heavily on data."
Joining the Corban Faculty Department to direct the program will be new hire Dr. Deborah Thomas, who earned her Ph.D. in Computer Science and Engineering from the University of Notre Dame. Most recently, Dr. Thomas served as Assistant Professor of Mathematics and Computer Science at Bethel University in St. Paul, Minn., and has also taught at Eastern Oregon University in the department of Computer Science and Multimedia.
Dr. Thomas says, "Computers are becoming more and more ubiquitous in our daily lives. As new applications are developed, we need programmers who can design and implement software for these various uses. There is always a need for programmers in any field, whether it be medical, financial, or even gaming. My vision for the program at Corban is to give students another career path to explore. Just as it is important to have Christians in fields like nursing and teaching, it is equally important to have programmers and developers who are Christians being a light in corporate settings."
Corban's decision to relaunch computer science arose from increasing demand, both from prospective students and from employers in today's marketplace. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, jobs for software developers are projected to increase by 21% between 2018 and 2028. (The national average for job growth is just 5%). In that same timeframe, jobs for computer and information systems managers are projected to increase by 11%, and jobs for information security analysts are projected to increase by 32%! This is just a snapshot of the way businesses are increasingly relying on data systems—and those who know how to implement them.
Incoming college freshmen who are interested in the program for Fall 2020 are encouraged to apply to Corban University now. https://www.corban.edu/
Learn more about Corban's computer science program: https://www.corban.edu/academics/majors-programs/mathematics-science/computer-science/
About Corban: Corban is a private Christian university with an 85-year history of educating students who will make a difference in the world for Jesus Christ.

Envision brings its award-winning, assistive technology to Google Glass, empowering blind and visually impaired people with greater independence and access to visual information in the world around them

ANAHEIM, CALIF. AND THE HAGUE, NETHERLANDS (PRWEB) MARCH 09, 2020
Envision, the award-winning iOS and Android smartphone app that enables blind and visually impaired people to independently access visual information around them, announced plans today to integrate its AI-powered software technology into Google Glass at CSUN, one of the biggest assistive technology conferences in the US. Envision developed its software on Google Glass, with the recently upgraded hardware of their Google Glass Enterprise Edition 2. The combination of Envision's software with Google Glass provides blind and visually impaired users with a significantly less obtrusive and hands-free way of accessing the world around them -- empowering users with greater freedom and independence to access and 'see' the world around them. View a short video of how Envision works here.
How Envision Works.
Envision's software uses artificial intelligence (AI) to extract different kinds of information from images and then speaks the images out loud so the user has a greater understanding of the environment around him or her. Envision's software provides the fastest and most accurate OCR (Optical Character Recognition) available, and can read any type of text from any surface (e.g., food packaging, posters, computer display screens, QR and barcodes, handwritten text, etc.), recognize faces, describe scenes, detect colors, find objects, read complex documents and letters, and more. The software is also the most diverse on the market today, capable of recognizing text and scripts in more than 60 languages. Envision enables blind and low-vision users worldwide to read documents at work, recognize their friends, find personal belongings at home, and use public transport -- independently on their own.
Envision on Smart Glasses.
First available as an iOS and Android smartphone app, Envision was awarded the Best Accessibility App at the 2019 Google Play Awards. As the next step in the company's evolution, Envision's software will now be embedded in smart glasses, providing blind and visually impaired users with a significantly more unobtrusive and hands-free way to access the world around them. One of Envision's Smart Glasses beta testers, Joy, said, "This kind of freedom is very invaluable, especially when you're outside and have a cane or a guide dog in a hand already. This is a game-changer for me and my independence."
"Working with Google Glass' technical specifications and build quality has been ideal for our development needs," said Karthik Kannan, co-founder of Envision. "The level of support we've received from the Google Glass team has enabled us to replicate the fantastic user experience of the Envision app and deliver it in a seamless way that empowers blind and visually impaired people worldwide with a hands-free, easy way to 'see' the world around them through the spoken word."
The availability of Envision's assistive technology embedded into smart glasses serves an important, timely need. According to data from the International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness (IAPB), out of a global population of 7.3 billion, 253 million people (29%) globally are visually impaired, of which 36 million are blind and 217 million with moderate to severe visual impairment.
"We're excited Envision is using Glass Enterprise Edition to help people more easily access the visual information around them and get things done," said Melvin Chua, Head of Partnerships at Google Glass.
Available for pre-order starting March 9, 2020, Envision's AI-powered smart glasses are available at a reduced price ($1,699 super early bird and $1,899 early bird), and will retail for $2,099 once shipping begins to early buyers in August 2020. Access the Envision press kit here.
About Envision
Envision uses AI-powered software to extract different kinds of information from images and speaks them out loud, enabling blind and low-vision users to read documents at work, recognize their friends, find personal belongings at home, and use public transport -- all fully independently. The software can read all kinds of text in more than 60 languages, recognize faces, describe scenes, detect colors, find objects and so much more. Envision is available for use in two different ways: on smart glasses as embedded, hands-free technology, and as a smartphone app available on both iOS and Android. Envision was awarded the Best Accessibility App at the 2019 Google Play Awards.

In a brand-new episode of Red Giant Cheap Tricks, "Hashi" the Action Movie Dad shows you how to create a live-action and CGI version of dad legs, inspired by "Onward"

PORTLAND, ORE. (PRWEB) MARCH 09, 2020
Red Giant has just released another Cheap Tricks episode, featuring half-dad, a father who is conjured back to life with only his legs and feet, from Pixar's "Onward" - now playing in theaters. In this Cheap Tricks episode, now out on YouTube, Dan "Hashi" Hashimoto, the Action Movie Dad, shows viewers a range of techniques for erasing characters from static and dynamic shots using 3D plate projection for a live-action remake of half-dad from "Onward." Viewers will also learn how Maxon Cinema 4D is used to create a more animated version of "dad legs."
WATCH NOW: Cheap Tricks Episode 14 – Pixar's Onward Half Dad Effect
"I think that knowing how to erase things from a handheld shot is a skill that could prove useful in a million different ways," Hashi explains. "You may never need to create dad legs per se...but there are lots of reasons that visual effects are used to erase limbs in movies."
Focusing on camera tracking, basic plate projection, masking and particle & lens flare plugins, Hashi demonstrates three levels of difficulty approaching how to erase the top part of his body while keeping his legs moving around in After Effects. Many tools from Red Giant Complete were used to help create the effect including Trapcode Particular, which was primarily used to create the magical particles coming the "magical wand" seen in the video that was used to diminish Hashi into a pair of legs. Other tools used included plugins from Magic Bullet Suite and VFX Suite. In the last 10 minutes of the tutorial, Hashi creates a CG version of half-dad by utilizing Maxon Cinema 4D and Adobe's Mixamo.
The full set of tools used includes:

Trapcode Particular: Create organic 3D particle effects, complex motion graphics elements and more in After Effects. Now with Fluid Dynamics.

VFX Supercomp: Supercomp is a compositing environment that makes it easy to create complex, seamless composites. In Supercomp, light and atmospheric effects interact with all layers and elements of a scene in a far more natural way, and with far less pre-composing in After Effects than ever before.

VFX Spot Clone Tracker: Allows for fast, simple spot cleanup and object removal with a built-in tracker.

VFX Optical Glow: A blazing fast, drop-dead gorgeous, photo-realistic glow effect for After Effects and Premiere Pro, Optical Glow makes adding picture-perfect glow effects to projects incredibly simple.

VFX Primatte Keyer 6: Green and blue screens are seamlessly removed for fast and automatic keying.

VFX Knoll Light Factory 3.1: Creates camera-inspired, photo-realistic lens flares in After Effects and Premiere Pro.

Magic Bullet Looks: Magic Bullet Looks is designed to give filmmakers powerful looks and color correction, with over 200 fully-customizable Look presets and over 40 tools to customize or build new Looks. Get the best, most-intuitive color correction experience in the industry.

Magic Bullet Denoiser III: Magic Bullet Denoiser III quickly and easily removes all the noise and grain from footage without taking away from the detail.

Maxon Cinema 4D: Cinema 4D is an Academy Sci-Tech award-winning professional 3D modeling, animation, and rendering software solution. Its powerful and flexible toolset makes 3D workflows more accessible for design professionals.

Certification validates Rulai's comprehensive security practices for protecting customer data

CAMPBELL, CALIF. (PRWEB) MARCH 10, 2020
Rulai, Inc., a leading Conversational AI platform, today announced it has successfully completed two key audit examinations for its platform. It is now both System and Organization Controls (SOC) 2 type II and Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) Level 1 compliant. These certifications mean that all chatbot conversations powered by Rulai's Conversational AI platform, are secure and underlines Rulai's commitment to maintaining the highest standards of data integrity and security for customers.
As one of the few Conversational AI platform providers to achieve both certifications, it provides Rulai's clients with the assurance that Rulai has deployed the controls and safeguards necessary to protect and secure their data in accordance with industry standards and best practices.

Its Level 3 AI capabilities enable chatbots to handle non-linear conversations without the need for coding. And its AI accelerators help companies deploy powerful assistants in a fraction of the time it normally takes.
The SOC2 audit was performed by Control Logics, a licensed CPA firm specialized in compliance, assurance, and internal audit services, while the PCI DSS audit was performed by Marcum LLP, one of the largest independent public accounting and advisory services firms.
"As virtual assistants become more powerful and are able to automate increasingly complex service interactions, the need to ensure all conversations remain secure and data privacy is maintained, becomes even more crucial, " says Marc Vanlerberghe, CEO of Rulai. "The successful completion of our SOC 2 Type II and PCI DSS Level audits demonstrates our commitment to our enterprise customers to meet their security standards."
"At Mercari we aim to be a marketplace where individuals can buy and sell items easily, safely, and securely," says John Lagerling, CEO Mercari US. "As such, we encourage all partners to adhere to the highest level of security, which includes SOC2 Type II and PCI DSS Level 1 certification. Congratulations to the Rulai team for achieving this important milestone."
Rulai's PCI DSS and SOC2 Type II Attestations of Compliance are available upon request.

Twitter, Google and Microsoft have encouraged employees to work from home, and your company could be next. Are you tech-ready?

LOS ANGELES (PRWEB) MARCH 10, 2020
"During SARS, in 2003, I was working in Hong Kong and we were sent home with our enormous desktop computers. We were completely unprepared to be working from home for months," says Rachel Plecas of MailRoute Email Security Solutions, leaders in email security and continuity.
"Businesses – and the bad actors who threaten them with spam and viruses – are far more sophisticated in 2020. All companies must be proactive and mitigate risk to business disruption right now, and your biggest vulnerability is probably your email."
Security, speed, backup and streamlined workflow must all be considered.
Securing a home network to your office-network's I.T. standards is hard when working via your residential ISP. More companies are choosing to send workers home during the Coronavirus infection, as governments and public-health officials rush to determine best practices for the health of all citizens, which means increased traffic across home networks.
Greg Caplain of alt-work facilitator RemoteYear.com shared that 51% of people report working at least part time remotely and as many as 31% of people are working at least 80% of the time remotely, before the virus outbreak. Chances are some people in your office already work remotely some or all of the time, so these tips apply to all employees.
TIP #1
Confirm Your Connection
Confirm that you're using an IMAP or SMTP connection. MailRoute founder and CEO Thomas Johnson explains: "For email, make sure that you have enabled TLS/SSL for your IMAP, POP, and SMTP connections in your email client. Keep your communications private."
TIP #2
Separate Your Work Email from Personal Email
Consider using a different computer, or at the very least, a different login and user account for your work and personal uses. It's not uncommon for malware to come in from a personal email, and then infect a corporate network.
TIP #3
Don't Trust Open Networks
Avoid public WiFi. Consider using your phone as a personal hotspot instead.
Here are more tips from the experts on remote or distributed work environments:
"Culture is so much more than what goes on in an office. It's really the sum of what everyone does all the time — all those little decisions, the way people communicate, the way people text, expectations for how you reply to things, how meetings happen." -- Matt Mullenweg, founder of Word Press on "Distributed" podcast
"The truth is, just because somebody's at their desk in front of a computer typing away or whatever they're doing, it doesn't mean they're working. The only way to tell if somebody is doing their work is to look at the work itself: It's words, it's graphic design, it's programming, it's customer service. It's things that you can evaluate from far away. You've got to look at the work at the end of the day." – Jason Fried, cofounder and CEO of Basecamp
"The office during the day has become the last place people want to be when they really want to get work done. In fact, offices have become interruption factories. A busy office is like a food processor — it chops your day into tiny bits. Fifteen minutes here, ten minutes there, twenty here, five there. Each segment is filled with a conference call, a meeting, another meeting, or some other institutionalized unnecessary interruption." –Cole Stryker, "Distributed"
"Heading over to the computer first thing after you wake up — or worse, pulling it into bed with you — is a mistake. I know: You just want to fire off one quick thing. But I promise, you'll get sucked in. And getting sucked in at 6 or 7 AM means you'll have put in a 10-hour day by 4 or 5 PM. Do that all week, and you're bound to burn out," declares Liz Presson, remote-working expert and founder of WorkingRemote.ly
About MailRoute:
MailRoute was founded in 2003 by the team that created the first email-filtering service (sold to Microsoft as their first cloud offering). The company is privately held and owner-operated by the leading team of innovators in this industry.

Retirees (and others) looking for a flexible, fun, portable way to earn from home should consider teaching English online—no office, no cubicle, no experience necessary.

BALTIMORE (PRWEB) MARCH 10, 2020
Retirees (and others) looking for ways to generate funds from home would be wise to consider teaching English online, where the primary qualification is simply having native English skills. It's a skill that can help fund a comfortable lifestyle—and it can pay from anywhere there's an internet connection. Qualified people need not have a teaching degree or any specialized qualifications beyond their native English skills.
"There has never been a better time to turn your English skills into an online income," says Kary Vannice, creator of Speak English and Get Paid, a course that explores the many earning paths open to English speakers, and host of a new Earn-with-English Online Masterclass. "The United Nations recently reported that more than 290 million students in 13 countries have had their regular in-class studies disrupted due to the coronavirus. Almost all of these students are now taking classes online. Major online English teaching companies are on a hiring spree to fill the demand.
"But it's not just the coronavirus that makes now a great time to teach English online," says Vannice. Even before this outbreak, there weren't enough English teachers to satisfy demand around the world. English is the language of the Internet—and the reach of the internet keeps expanding. A growing middle class worldwide is driving greater urbanization which, in turn, creates more demand for English skills as well. And the ability to speak English has been equated to higher pay. So the demand is significant. And now—more than ever—it's being met by native English speakers online.
"The e-learning sector is one of the world's fastest growing industries, slated to become a $65 billion-dollar industry by 2023," says Vannice. "You have a virtual 'perfect storm' of opportunity just waiting to be cashed in on. With a laptop, a speedy internet connection, and a little know-how, you can be set up in a matter of weeks to be earning online from the comfort of your own home."
"Many of these opportunities allow you to determine your own work hours, what type of students you work with, and how much or how little you work every week," Vannice explains. "Some employers even prefer to hire teachers with no prior teaching experience, so they can train them how to teach their way, using their learning materials. With so much opportunity, there really is something for everyone."
The editors at International Living argue that with many Americans already concerned their next egg might not hold out through retirement—even before the recent market crash—it makes good sense to have an income plan in place. Ideally, it's one that allows a person to earn from anywhere, in the hours they prefer, from right there at home, and without a long ramp-up time or lots of specialized qualifications. Teaching English online checks all those boxes.
"While the income from teaching English isn't enough to get rich, it's certainly adequate to sustain a life abroad," says Dan Carpenter, who lives with his family today in Panama.
"We quickly found ourselves embracing the slower pace of life, the Spanish language, and the interesting people that we met from all over the world. Because our English students are on the other side of the world, we teach very early in the morning (usually 4:30 a.m.). By 8 a.m., we are done teaching for the day, and ready to have fun with our kids."
That flexibility is attractive—and it comes built in, no matter if a person's home base is Hays, Kansas or Barcelona, Spain. "I've created my own schedule, teaching from 5 a.m. to 8 a.m., Monday to Friday," says Tess Bercan, based in Costa Rica. "I earn about $1,000 a month doing this. However, you can earn up to $2,000 or more if you open up your availability. For me, this schedule is ideal. By 8 a.m., I'm done with my day, and I spend the rest of my time at the beach and meeting friends.
"Imagine opening a program similar to Skype on your laptop," Bercan says. "On it, you meet your students through video conference and teach them simple English for about 25 minutes. This is exactly what teaching online looks like."

85% of IT leaders reveal plans to increase investment in IT asset management

NEW YORK (PRWEB) MARCH 10, 2020
Despite having hundreds of tools at their disposal, IT and security teams are rapidly losing sight of their asset landscape. That's the finding from a new survey from Axonius, which reveals how trends including the ever-increasing number of end-user devices, rapid cloud adoption, and the looming IoT explosion are leading to increased complexity and risk and decreased visibility.
The study from Enterprise Strategy Group, commissioned by cybersecurity asset management company Axonius, and titled "2020 Asset Management Trends: As IT Complexity Increases, Visibility Plummets," first reveals that today's IT infrastructure barely resembles what it was just five years ago, and a confluence of megatrends are all rising to impact IT and security teams.
"When we speak with customers from the midmarket up to the Fortune 100, we hear the same challenges: teams are faced with too many assets, a patchwork of security tools, and maddeningly manual processes to understand what is there and whether those assets are secure," said Dean Sysman, CEO and Co-Founder at Axonius. "This survey with ESG uncovers the depth and breadth of the asset management challenges we see today and what's on the horizon."
The survey of 200 IT and cybersecurity professionals from private and public-sector organizations in North America found that the move to the public cloud, an increase in the number of end-user devices, and IoT projects all contribute to a lack of visibility. Specifically, the study found that 52% of VMs now reside in the cloud, running in multiple cloud environments, making it increasingly more challenging for organizations to manage them effectively. At the same time, container usage is mainstream among cloud users, with continued predicted growth that will add further complexity.
While bring-your-own-device (BYOD) trends began more than 15 years ago, organizations are still grappling with evolving BYOD policies, especially with a typical employee now using more than four devices each week. As a result, organizations believe they are blind to about 40% of end-user-devices. At the same time, IoT continues to play an increasing role in the workplace, with more than half of organizations reporting active IoT projects. Yet, 77% report an IoT visibility gap.
This decrease in visibility correlates directly to an increase in risk. The survey found that 75% of organizations have experienced several serious cloud VM security incidents as a result of cloud visibility gaps, and 73% admit to experiencing multiple serious incidents as a result of an end user device visibility gap. In fact, organizations with visibility gaps experience 2.3x more security incidents than those without.
"Together, these changes are putting enormous pressure on IT and security teams, who are already struggling to find new management and security tools that can keep up," said Dave Gruber, Senior Analyst, ESG. "VMs, new devices, and new device types are driving complexity. Most say that they already have too many tools, yet still report visibility gaps in what they can see versus what they want to see across cloud, mobile, and IoT environments. This gap directly translates into added security risk. 85% of organizations plan to increase investment in asset management to help overcome these issues."
To regain the visibility needed to combat these challenges, security and IT teams are returning to a focus on the fundamentals like investing in gaining a credible inventory and automating asset management. Comprehensive IT asset inventories take over two weeks of effort, requiring 89 person-hours of labor. On average, they happen 19 times per year, demanding the involvement of multiple teams and people, so it shouldn't come as a surprise that the survey found 85% of organizations plan to increase investment in asset management to help overcome these issues-- especially in light of the fact that roughly 90% expect the time freed up from asset-related tasks would have a material improvement on threat hunting and incident investigation.

Chrome OS has over twice the number of users as its closest rival, Windows — Third-most popular operating system is iOS, which outnumbers Android-powered mobile devices 10 to 1 — At just 0.24% usage, Internet Explorer has effectively become redundant in the lives of learners.

DUBLIN (PRWEB) MARCH 10, 2020
The data, which describes usage patterns across US K–12 learning products since 2012, comes from assessment solutions provider Learnosity, whose technology boasts 14.8 million monthly active users.
Informed by data derived from their millions of users, the company has created a short video to illustrate the race between tech giants for classroom dominance in the US over the last 8 years. The resulting bar chart shows one company clearly outmanoeuvring its rivals.
"Before we looked at the data, we already knew about the meteoric rise of Chromebooks since their introduction in 2011 – but their sheer dominance in the schools market is astounding to see," said Gavin Cooney, Learnosity CEO. "As of a year ago, Google said that 30 million Chromebooks were used in education, and our data suggests that Google continues to absolutely crush it. Equally remarkable is how quickly Windows has died as the dominant operating system in education."
The factors behind Chromebook's success include:
-Lower-cost devices.
-An ecosystem of free tech (with apps like Google Classroom, Slides and Keep).
-No local storage as it's cloud-based.
If you're building an assessment product, it's invaluable to know the most (and least) commonly used operating systems when functionality testing for the majority of users.
"Just make sure you build for Chromebooks (including offline) when building an education product," said Cooney. "Incidentally, we're seeing usage of Internet Explorer plummet to 0.24%, so you're probably safe to save the expense and finally scratch it off the list of browsers you test on."
About Learnosity
Learnosity is an edtech company specializing in assessment solutions with offices in Sydney, New York, LA, and Dublin. Offering a suite of flexible authoring, assessment, and analytics APIs, Learnosity enables organizations from a wide range of sectors to easily incorporate powerful assessment capabilities into any digital product, allowing clients to dramatically reduce their development cycles and time-to-market while availing of innovative, industry-leading software.

New features within MegaCryption v6.5.0 can be utilized alongside the financial sector's Sheltered Harbor projects.

NAPLES, FLA. (PRWEB) MARCH 10, 2020
Advanced Software Products Group (ASPG, Inc.) has announced the release of MegaCryption 6.5.0 which offers new features that can be utilized alongside financial organization's Sheltered Harbor projects.
With cyberattacks becoming more advanced, the financial industry is often the top target of hackers. These attacks can cause a ripple-effect, harming both the financial services industry as well as public confidence in the financial sector.
The basis of Sheltered Harbor allows financial institutions to have a protection plan in place should an unauthorized data breach occur. Sheltered Harbor has been founded with this in mind, designed to protect financial institutions if a data attack has occurred and their policy enforcement has failed. Aimed at restoring public trust in the financial sector, Sheltered Harbor provides backup and recovery standards to financial institutions to ensure their data is safe and the reputation of the financial services industry remains intact.
Utilizing MegaCryption v6.5.0 alongside Sheltered Harbor is well suited for banks, credit unions, broker-dealers, asset managers, and service providers seeking to improve their organization's cyber resilience. MegaCryption helps assist an organization's Sheltered Harbor project by working alongside existing systems to implement strong data encryption.
Working alongside a core component of Sheltered Harbor, known as data vaulting, MegaCryption's MGCSAGCM utility provides users with a highly efficient alternative for file-level cryptography using GCM authenticated encryption to allow for the processing of large data volumes. A newly added zEDC (Enterprise Data Compression) feature can be utilized by OpenPGP and Zip/Unzip utilities, providing accelerated compression capabilities up to 95%, especially useful during the transmission of data to Sheltered Harbor data vaults.
Finally, an Enhanced Compression Mode (ECM) provides significant savings for customer's CPU savings, a savings figure which offsets the cost of encryption workloads and saves an organization vast processing times.
ASPG is pleased to offer special pricing and complimentary product training for Sheltered Harbor certified organizations that license MegaCryption. Additionally, the ASPG technical support team offers a specialist webinar series for users who license MegaCryption alongside Sheltered Harbor.

Evidence-based research from ESI ThoughtLab will offer executives the strategic insights and performance metrics needed to create data-enabled enterprises for the Fourth Industrial Revolution

PHILADELPHIA (PRWEB) MARCH 10, 2020
ESI ThoughtLab, a leading economic research firm, today announced Driving ROI Through AI, an in-depth research program that will provide executives with an evidence-based roadmap for transforming their companies into high-performance enterprises powered by artificial intelligence (AI).
While some ROI analysis on AI exists, it is generally anecdotal and fails to present the variations by industry, company size, and location needed for proper benchmarking and decision making. To fill this information gap, ESI is working with global AI leaders, including Appen, Deloitte, DataRobot, Cognizant, Publicis Sapient, Cortex, and Dataiku, as well as AI experts from academia and business, to conduct a rigorous research program into the AI investment plans, practices, and performance returns of 1,200 companies across 12 industries and 16 countries.
A rigorous mixed methods approach
The study will cover five main areas of AI: robotic process automation, machine learning, deep learning, computer vision, and natural language processing. In addition to comprehensive quantitative research, including an AI benchmarking survey and performance impact modeling, ESI ThoughtLab will conduct peer group meetings and one-on-one personal interviews.
The main research objectives are to:

Examine the corporate areas of greatest AI investments and progress to date

Measure the level of investment by type of AI and business function

Identify use cases across the enterprise functions that generate the highest ROI

Analyze the full ROI across a range of value drivers, from productivity and cost savings to revenue growth and customer engagement

Validate leading practices by correlating them with actual business results

Examine organizational, governance, and ethical issues around AI

"Industry 4.0 companies will be fully data-driven and AI-enabled. Our aim is to provide executives with the definitive playbook and benchmarking platform to assess where they stand on AI and what they need to do to seize their cognitive future," said Lou Celi, CEO of ESI ThoughtLab and the program's director.

Blockchain technology helps make digital transactions more secure, faster and less expensive for small businesses.

WASHINGTON (PRWEB) MARCH 10, 2020
Shamsh Hadi, CEO of ZorroSign, Inc. reinforced the benefits of blockchain and its critical role in helping small businesses in the United States take full advantage of advances in cyber commerce and maximizing their ability to have a high level of security and ensure the privacy of their customers.
"Without consumer confidence and trust, small businesses will not be able to compete in the global cyber-economy. This is where blockchain can be a vital component of the continued growth and resiliency of American small businesses," noted Hadi in testimony submitted earlier this month to the U.S. House Committee on Small Business. ZorroSign is a pioneer of real electronic signature and a patented document fraud and tampering detection system built on blockchain.
On March 4, 2020 the U.S. House Committee on Small Business held a hearing on, "Building Blocks of Change: The Benefits of Blockchain Technology for Small Businesses." Mr. Hadi's written testimony will be part of the committee's official hearing record. The hearing was held as part of the committee's ongoing effort to develop a better understanding on how blockchain technology can benefit small businesses.
"My company, ZorroSign, has made extensive use of blockchain technology to provide its customers with state-of-the-art electronic signature, digital signature and data transaction management services," said Hadi in his testimony. Mr. Hadi also pointed to a February 2019 paper on blockchain issued by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) that concluded that blockchain is "...an ideal candidate to record and secure data exchanges."
Hadi noted that "blockchain is important because it has unique qualities that set it apart from other transaction database management systems. Specifically, blockchain is being used today in private, permissions-based decentralized systems that are secure, trusted and automated with bank grade security. Ultimately, blockchain technology helps make digital transactions more secure, faster and less expensive."
"...one of the most exciting benefits of blockchain technology is its unique ability to help small businesses cost-effectively secure transactions and protect their customers' personal information," summarized Hadi.

Amit Serper, Cybereason's Vice President of Security Strategy and Principal Researcher has discovered a widescale hacking campaign being run by hackers against hackers.

BOSTON (PRWEB) MARCH 10, 2020
Cybereason, creators of the leading Cyber Defense Platform, today released new research from its Nocturnus team titled 'Who's Hacking the Hackers: No Honor Among Thieves' which looks at a rapidly spreading campaign turning hacking tools and other installers into trojans. The threat actors are posting the maliciously modified files on various forums and websites to bait other hackers.
Cybereason's investigation surfaced more than 1000 njRat samples compiled and built on almost a daily basis. This campaign gives threat actors complete access to the target machine, so they can use it for anything from conducting DDoS attacks to stealing sensitive data off the machine. Cybereason found the threat actors behind the campaign are using multiple servers, some of which appear to be hacked WordPress blogs and the infrastructure owned by the threat group.
'Essentially, hackers are baiting other hackers by weaponizing tools on hacker forums and it is a wide scale effort that I will continue to follow in the months ahead. What's interesting is that any crime actor targeting enterprises with the hacked trojans and tools is giving access to the hacker targeting other hackers,' said Amit Serper, Vice President of Security Strategy, Principal Researcher, Nocturnus, Cybereason.
Additional Hacking the Hackers Research Highlights include:
Widespread Campaign: Cybereason found the hacking campaign that uses the njRat trojan to hijack the victim's machine, giving the threat actors complete access that can be used for anything from conducting DDoS attacks to stealing sensitive data.
Using Vulnerable WordPress Websites: The threat actors are hacking vulnerable WordPress installations to host their malicious njRat payloads.
A "Malware Factory": It seems as if the threat actors behind this campaign are building new iterations of their hacking tools on a daily basis.

SaaS-based Natural Language Generation software enables financial services firms and banks to automate financial data reporting in more than 110 languages and access "new gold"

SUNNYVALE, CALIF. AND STUTTGART, GERMANY (PRWEB) MARCH 10, 2020
AX Semantics, an AI-powered, natural language generation (NLG) leader, today announced a new range of content generation software for the financial services and banking sector. Available in more than 110 languages, AX Semantics' addresses the pain point of recurring financial reports, regulatory filings, executive summaries, and other written communication - all of which typically require massive amounts of financial data from disparate sources to be gathered, analyzed and translated into text customized for a broad range of audiences and languages. AX Semantics' NLG software powered by AI automates these processes. It produces smartly-written narratives that read the same as if a human wrote them -- automating tedious, resource-intensive tasks and allowing financial firms to access "new gold" by analyzing and understanding their customer and product data faster than their competitors.
Financial analysts, brokers, and executives face the demand to quickly update the content required by state and federal laws and regulations, such as details about investment plans, risk assessments, and financial filings -- all of which must be updated regularly. AX Semantics' NLG software enables finance employees to effortlessly turn mountains of data into real-time actionable written narratives, create reports, descriptions of terms and loans, draft regulatory filings, and documents detailing investments -- all with minimal training -- freeing up bandwidth for higher-value activities and responsibilities.
"Financial services companies now have a simple way not only to produce content but to also rapidly revise it when there has been an important development or a new regulation -- saving significant resources in terms of man-hours and costs," said Saim Rolf Alkan, CEO and founder of AX Semantics. "Financial reports that used to take analysts and executives days to produce can now be completed in seconds using AX Semantics."
AX Semantics content generation features for finance include:

NLG output based on structured data: allows users to easily configure projects to any structure and import tools and formats including JSON, CSV and Excel, and API for integration into existing systems without the need for complex IT projects;

Topic and domain-independent technology: all types of text can be generated, not just a limited set of topics - in up to 110 different languages;

Real-time, multi-user capability and workflows: multiple people can work on a project at the same time, allowing scaled project sizes, while retaining the ability to test and deploy

Data protection and hybrid cloud availability: with certifiable processes and infrastructure that can be used for confidential information up to HIPAA/PHI level, and Sarbanes–Oxley/MARisk certifiable processes.

Mario Berger, risk advisory director at Deloitte, said the firm experienced an almost 80% reduction in time spent on projects like recurring reports by using content generation software. "In our estimation, projects in this environment are significantly more successful if parts or even the entire 'path' of the process is automated – i.e., data management, for example, using Natural Language Processing. We consider the fundamental potential to be very high."
In the finance sector, AX Semantics currently works with Deloitte, Creditreform, Ebner Stolz and others - as well as more than 500 customers in sectors like media, pharmaceutical, e-Commerce, including Fortune 500 companies such as Porsche and Nivea.
AX Semantics offers a subscription-based service, with fees between $279 and $1699 per month for financial services companies and banks of all sizes. A managed service is also available on top of the self-service platform for new product development purposes and customers that don't have qualified in-house resources. The software is 100% SaaS – everything is available via a web browser, with no programming or IT departments required. Self-service with integrated e-learning allows customers to start automating text within 48 hours, often less. Learn more at sales@ax-semantics.com.
About AX Semantics
AX Semantics is an AI-powered, natural language generation (NLG) software company built to address today's biggest content generation challenges. Our sophisticated SaaS-based solution effortlessly creates vast quantities of content at scale - to populate an entire website, tackle time-intensive financial reporting and regulatory requirements filings, fill a news section with earnings reports, generate 1000s of product descriptions for e-commerce brands, produce social media content, create easy-to-read weather and news reports, and more. We make automated content generation - in more than 110 languages, in a manner of minutes - a reality for customers of all sizes within the e-commerce, business, finance and media publishing sectors.

OneDash takes aim at tackling e-commerce cart abandonment by delivering personalized shopping experiences

TORONTO (PRWEB) MARCH 10, 2020
OneDash, an e-commerce marketing technology startup today announced that it has launched a groundbreaking chat-to-checkout service. OneDash's new messaging platform allows online shoppers to perform direct, in-app, add-to-cart functions, with the option to check out in the very same chat. This new capability eliminates the need to exit a chat session in order to complete a purchase. The announcement took place today at DX3 Canada 2020 in Toronto. OneDash is a bronze sponsor of the event, located at booth 226.
Cart abandonment is a major issue facing online retail. A Baymard 2019 Study showed that one out of four shoppers abandons a cart due to inefficient or time-intensive checkout processes. OneDash is addressing this pain point by optimizing the online shopping experience, providing a real-time service for customers to see their purchases from start to finish.
"I was looking for a new way to talk about my creative world and showcase my jewellery. OneDash's interactive application allows me to guide the customers into a completely new journey. I tell my story through a video and the spectators can interact at the same moment," said Vanessa Martinelli, CEO of Vanessa Martinelli Fine Jewellery. "In just one click they receive all the information on a specific featured product and they can purchase it right at that moment, without breaking the momentum. It's a fantastic new experience."
OneDash's app enables interactive video allowing customers to connect with retail outlets, in real time, bringing the online shopping experience to a new level with personal interaction for enhanced customer engagement to boost brand loyalty.
"With the global growth of video content, and the promotion of short videos by platforms such as Instagram and TikTok, we realized that the hidden costs are enormous," said Oleksandr Matviishyn CTO of OneDash. "We were driven by the idea of making video more affordable and providing the ability for every business to create, distribute, and monetize their video content, while at the same time, improving the production speed of interactive video content. During the implementation phase, we came up with a few additional ideas like advertising, Messenger commerce, and live streaming to make the platform even more robust."
OneDash was ranked in the top five at Google's ICCV 2019 Deepfashion2 Challenge for Artificial Intelligence in 2019. OneDash is supported by a team of well-known advisors from the industry such as Aarif Nakhooda, former CFO for Amazon Singapore.
Rayhan Perera, CEO of OneDash, founded the company in 2017 with a vision of creating a more immersive shopping platform, allowing consumers to better engage with brands online. The idea was inspired by his wife describing the challenges she faced while buying cosmetics online."OneDash was born out of the consumer need for a seamless online shopping experience. Chatbots or live chat services are no longer enough. The deal is closed only when the payment button is clicked. Our goal is to create the simplest, most pain-free experience for customers who wish to chat with a brand or salesperson and complete a purchase without ever having to leave a chat," explained Rayhan.
OneDash is available on Apple's iTunes Store and will be available on the Android play store in July 2020. Users can also download for free through the OneDash platform or any official OneDash merchant.
About OneDash
OneDash is a Singapore-based technology company providing digital solutions using Artificial Intelligence to help brands interact better with their customers. OneDash's video e-commerce solution utilizes multi-faceted tools that allow brands to provide a unique, real time shopping experience to their audiences.

In conjunction with Orange County United Way, Pacific Life is one of the earliest supporters and sponsors of CyberForward.

SAN CLEMENTE, CALIF. (PRWEB) MARCH 10, 2020
CISOSHARE is proud to recognize Pacific Life as an early engagement and hiring partner in CISOSHARE's CyberForward professional development program.
The early participation and partnership of both Orange County United Way to identify participants in the program, and Pacific Life in providing real-world opportunities to graduated participants is a testament to the power of nonprofit and business partnerships in improving the local community.
This multi-phase program, which began in June 2019 in partnership with Orange County United Way's UpSkill OC program, is designed to bridge the skills gap by providing job training to underemployed individuals and placing them in one of the estimated 3.5 million unfilled cyber security positions by 2021 according to Cybersecurity Ventures. In doing so, the employer benefits from a trained, qualified candidate and the employee receives a livable wage to be on the path to financial stability.
Orange County United Way has been key to this program's success in many ways.

Mainstream Technologies recently hosted a group of Central Arkansas business people with a panel discussion on cyber security.

LITTLE ROCK, ARK. (PRWEB) MARCH 11, 2020
Mainstream Technologies recently hosted a group of Central Arkansas business people with a panel discussion on cyber security. Discussions focused on the need for a layered approach because no one tool or policy is going to defend against all the attacks all the time. Panelists included Jason Lafayette, Director of Technology at The Wilson Law Group; Greg McKee, CIO of Friday Eldredge & Clark; and Daniel Weatherly, Director of Security at Mainstream.
An assortment of tools and tactics are needed to effectively protect one's organization with six layers:

Firewalls

Email protection

Browsing protection

Brute force protection

Human protection (training)

Detection (alerts on active attacks).

"Knowing the purpose and role of each of these tools is essential for cost-effective and comprehensive cyber security," added John Burgess, President and Chief Security Officer of Mainstream.
The Lunch & Learn event was Mainstream's most recent addition to business content on the subject of cyber security.
ABOUT MAINSTREAM

ROCK HILL, S.C. (PRWEB) MARCH 11, 2020
On March 16, 2020, a large number of businesses across the nation will be required by the IRS to submit their income taxes and information returns. Business owners who need more time to complete their business income tax forms can simply file an Extension Form 7004. The IRS will grant up to a seven-month extension to all Form 7004 filers that have completed this extension form and submitted their estimated tax payment by the original deadline.
The Form 7004 extends the deadline for IRS Forms 1120-S and 1065. These forms apply to both S-corporations and Partnerships. ExpressExtension, created by the same software industry leader that brought you TaxBandits, specializes in facilitating the filing of Form 7004 instantly with the IRS.
Common Misconceptions About Tax Extensions
Many filers are misinformed about tax extensions and this makes them hesitant or fearful about requesting one. There is no need for concern, the IRS will not penalize or "red flag" any business that files a Form 7004, or any other applicable tax extension. No reason or explanation for the extension is required.
ExpressExtension is combating the misconception that paper filing is the best method to file a tax extension. As a matter of fact, filing electronically is much quicker and prevents common errors. When filing with ExpressExtension, Form 7004 is processed instantly. Within minutes filers can transmit their Form 7004 to the IRS and receive automatic approval. One of the greatest misunderstandings is that tax payments are included in tax extensions. Tax payments must be made on the original deadline.
Key Features Of ExpressExtension.com
http://ExpressExtension.com is an authorized e-file provider that provides a quick and easy filing process. When filing Form 7004, filers can expect an easy-to-follow, interview-style format. The cloud-based software allows filers to complete their extension form in minutes and receive instant IRS approval for an automatic six month tax extension.
To ensure accurate filing, ExpressExtension allows any filers with a rejected Form 7004 to retransmit to the IRS free of cost. The entire process is available for a great price, CPAs and Tax Preparers are even eligible for discounted rates.
SPAN Enterprises CEO and Co-founder, Agie Sundaram states, "ExpressExtension provides the perfect solution for any business owner who needs to file a 7004 Extension this March. Our software offers customers great ease and accessibility for a superior filing experience."
http://ExpressExtension.com Handles All Major Extension Forms
While the business extension Form 7004 is currently in high demand, ExpressExtension offers additional forms to meet different needs and tax deadlines. ExpressExtension provides a complete solution for personal tax extensions with Form 4868. Business owners that need both business and personal tax extension solution this year can purchase a bundled package for a greater value.

LONDON, LOS ANGELES AND NEW YORK (PRWEB) MARCH 11, 2020
Zuant understands the pain of leads that die from neglect after an event. To prevent this, the award-winning mobile lead capture cloud solution, announces Zuant Lead Follow-up. Generated from the Zuant app, event leads flow automatically into it's Marketpoint system for follow-up. This seamless lead flow process ensures leads are followed up quickly and nurtured through to close.
"In our latest research survey, topping the list of operational improvement goals for sales in 2020 was optimizing lead generation," says Jim Dickie, Sales Mastery Co-founder and Research Fellow. "Part of dealing with that challenge is generating more leads, but we also need to improve converting the leads we already generate into opportunities. Solutions like Zuant's blend the technology and processes needed to make that happen."
Today's modern marketer is tasked with generating leads for sales that ultimately produce revenue. Events represent a whopping 22% of today's marketing budget, according to Salesforce.com. After investing $50,000 on average to exhibit at an event, marketers often return home with nothing to show.
Surprisingly, 80% of B2B leads are never followed-up on after an event by marketing or sales. B2B brands who do follow up take 50 days or longer to do so. Prospective clients expect to be approached quickly after a booth encounter and will discount any positive exchange that occurred during the show because of this lackadaisical approach.
Failure to follow-up on leads after an event can be due to disparate systems, lack of lead ownership between marketing and sales, as well as complicated or missing processes handling leads. It's criminal, according to Zuant Founder and CEO, Peter Gillett. With Zuant Lead Follow-up there is no excuse for leads to go cold anymore.
Lead Follow-up gives existing Zuant clients the power to efficiently follow up on their leads post-show thereby driving sales and tracking marketing ROI. The just-in-time solution transforms this critical stage of the event/lead lifecycle, to encourage sales people to take quick action, be accountable, and capture all of the necessary detail required to successfully close the sales, while minimizing manual input.
According to Zuant client, Interroll, fast lead follow up is critical because of the high value B2B market in which they compete. "It is a waste of our tradeshow budget unless we follow up quickly on every piece of potential business," notes Interroll Marketing Director, Giulio Bassi. "Zuant allows us to create the best impression with our prospective customers by being the first to make contact after an event."
How Zuant Lead Follow-up Works
Lead Follow-up integrates into the Zuant app providing a seamless flow of data and a structured post-show process. Sales reps are assigned to leads captured, prompting the auto-distribution of email notifications containing key lead details. Upon receiving the email, they are intuitively directed to the login page to view the full lead details and active fields for their information capture - including further notes, next action, and feedback. Designed to help 'close the loop', this data is fed into the system for key client personnel to access for reporting, performance tracking and easy exports.
Zuant combines event badge scanning with the option of high speed business card scanning using OCR technology to transcribe the data. Event managers and sales reps access their company's content marketing portfolio when meeting with prospects in real time, and capture additional lead qualifying questions on mobile devices. Lead data is fed directly into their Marketing Automation and CRM systems for lead nurturing and sales follow-up back at home base, as part of the overall streamlined process.
About Zuant
Zuant is a native iOS App, which can run offline and synchronize with its Zuant Cloud portal when an internet connection is available. This makes it ideal for any environment, and can be left in Kiosk Mode collecting data from the public, which in turn can be viewed in a central global location using multiple questionnaire forms and languages. Data is collected with the highest level of security and privacy, and full GDPR compliance is offered for the new EU legislation this year.
About Zuant, the Company
Founded by tech innovator Peter Gillett in 2008, Zuant provides mobile lead capture solutions for companies seeking to maximize their investment in tradeshows.

UltraBOM saves engineers time while reducing needless design respins and errors.

ROCHESTER, N.Y. (PRWEB) MARCH 11, 2020
Ultra Librarian (https://www.ultralibrarian.com), the world's largest free cloud-based CAD library provider, today announced UltaBOMTM, enabling design engineers to search and research Digi-Key Electronics parts within OrCAD Capture, and then submit BOM parts directly to Digi-Key for purchase. "The entire Bill of Materials (BOM) or a selection can be ordered directly from Digi-Key with a single click of a button," said Manny Marcano, president and CEO of EMA. "Errors and recommendations are reported for review, and all components are added to the cart in the correct quantities. This also eliminates the manual entry of parametric data into the schematic, reduces errors when ordering parts, and saves time on monotonous tasks, allowing engineers to focus on their designs."
UltraBOM for Digi-Key allows engineers to search distributor part information and review component parameters such as status, component availability, lead-times, and cost without leaving OrCAD Capture. Access to this data helps engineers select known high-quality orderable parts upfront. This distributor-driven design data is very important for quick-turn or rapid prototyping as engineers are able to gain fast access to the parts they need and keep the design and prototyping process moving forward.
Live parametric information can also easily be linked to existing parts. If the library part has not yet been created, then the user can instantly download the schematic symbol with linked footprints and Digi-Key supplier data from Ultra Librarian. Part information, availability, and status can be monitored and reviewed throughout the design with a fully customizable BOM. There is no need to spend hours verifying every component in the design or finding replacement components. Issue are flagged in real-time and resolved quickly without needing to leave the engineering design environment.
"Because of the tremendous workloads and shortened project timelines design teams face, managers are always interested in streamlining and increasing efficiency by reducing tedious tasks for their engineers," added Marcano. "Designers need tools like UltraBOM that automate manual tasks and enable them to be successful when faced with these challenges."
"We are thrilled with the addition of UltraBOM to Digi-Key's suite of free tools and resources for our customers," said Jeremy Purcell, senior digital product owner, Digi-Key. "We are constantly looking for ways to improve our customers' experience and partnering with Ultra Librarian connects both new and seasoned customers with an easy method for part purchasing and BOM creation."

NYC area IT security consultant discusses how cyber criminals use new "deepfake" voice cloning technology to fool businesses and others for profit—in a new article from eMazzanti Technologies

HOBOKEN, N.J. (PRWEB) MARCH 11, 2020
A NYC area IT security consultant and managed services provider (MSP) shares how voice cloning technology enables a new level of cyber security threat in a new article on the eMazzanti Technologies website. The informative article explains how cyber criminals can use just a few seconds of audio and cloning software to create a believable voice impersonation.
The author then shares tips to avoid being scammed by high-quality voice or video fakes, including increased awareness, asking questions of suspicious callers and staying abreast of emerging cyber security technology.
"Security experts have long warned of the dangers of spear-fishing and business email compromise," stated Almi Dumi, CISO, eMazzanti Technologies. "With the emergence of deepfakes, employees must now take care when dealing with audio and video messages, as well."
Below are a few excerpts from the article, "Voice Cloning Elevates Security Threats to the Next Level."
"Last year, scammers convinced a director at a British company to send them $240,000. Using voice cloning, they impersonated a senior executive at the company, instructing the director to wire the sum to a secret account. Recognizing his boss's voice, he complied, only becoming suspicious when the thieves called a second time."
"While this may represent one of the first artificial intelligence (AI) heists on record, it will hardly be the last. Consider the possibilities. If bad actors use voice cloning technology to steal money from businesses, they can easily sabotage political elections or impersonate family members."
Dangers of Increasingly Sophisticated Voice Cloning
"Voice cloning presents an example of just one type of "deepfake." The term comes from "deep learning," a type of machine learning that roughly mimics the human brain. While the technology has existed in some form for at least a couple of decades, advancements have made it easily accessible and difficult to detect."
"For instance, using just a few seconds of audio, cloning software can create a believable voice impersonation. With more extensive audio samples, often publicly available through social media and news, users can create a fake almost impossible to detect. The counterfeit voice convincingly mimics speech patterns, accent and voice inflections."
Protect Against Emerging Threats
As technology grows more sophisticated, business leaders should evolve their security measures to match the threat. This involves a multi-prong approach, including training, policy development and employing emerging cyber security technologies.
The security experts at eMazzanti keep abreast of threats and security tools as they evolve. They can guide you through the process of understanding the organization's security needs and implementing a strategy to address them.

Pointwise published the case study, "Application of Pointwise T-Rex Meshing and CFD Modeling to the Analysis of Supercritical Carbon Dioxide (S-CO2) Power Cycles" showing how Pointwise, by greatly simplifying and speeding up the meshing process, was critical to the successful modeling of an S-CO2 compressor test bed system.

FORT WORTH, TEXAS (PRWEB) MARCH 11, 2020
Pointwise published the case study, "Application of Pointwise T-Rex Meshing and CFD Modeling to the Analysis of Supercritical Carbon Dioxide (S-CO2) Power Cycles" showing how Pointwise, by greatly simplifying and speeding up the meshing process, was critical to the successful modeling of an S-CO2 compressor test bed system.
Read the case study: https://ptwi.se/338J6Fq.
In 2018, a team of engineers at CRAFT Tech set out to model an experimental supercritical carbon dioxide (S-CO2) compressor configuration. The power cycle analysis, which would provide important insights into the design of high-efficiency components for power generation, required modeling of flow transitioning between liquid and gas phases and high-resolution meshing of geometries. The engineers needed software that would resolve flow gradients with a minimum number of grid points and be flexible enough to provide the best grid for each region of the machine that they were modeling. They found both these solutions in Pointwise.
Pointwise, Inc. is solving the top problem facing computational fluid dynamics (CFD) today – reliably generating high-fidelity meshes. The company's Pointwise software generates structured, unstructured, overset and hybrid meshes; interfaces with CFD solvers such as ANSYS FLUENT, STAR-CCM+, OpenFOAM, and SU2 as well as many neutral formats, such as CGNS; runs on Windows, Linux, and Mac, and has a scripting language, Glyph, that can automate CFD meshing. Manufacturing firms and research organizations worldwide have relied on Pointwise as their complete CFD preprocessing solution since 1994.

Partnership improves the experience for drivers, allowing them to navigate to a what3words address within their embedded CloudCar infotainment system.

SANTA CLARA, CALIF. (PRWEB) MARCH 11, 2020
CloudCar, Inc. a Silicon Valley company and leading provider of infotainment services for the automotive industry, and location technology provider what3words have partnered to simplify in-vehicle navigation. The partnership improves the experience for drivers, allowing them to navigate to a what3words address within their embedded infotainment system. what3words addresses are more accurate than traditional street addresses, meaning both a more efficient journey and a better customer experience.
Many drivers are familiar with the frustration of trying to speak or manually type a long street address into their car navigation system, only to find they have to pull over to enter it correctly or rely on a passenger to help by using a mobile device instead. what3words has overcome this challenge in a truly innovative way by dividing the entire planet into a grid of 10-foot squares. Each square has been given a unique what3words address made of three words. For example, the front door of what3words' London office can be found at ///filled.count.soap. Similar what3words addresses are located far apart to avoid confusion and reduce errors, while an intelligent AutoSuggest feature helps drivers correct mistakes immediately to ensure they get to the correct destination, even when there's no street address.
"We are pleased to add CloudCar to the growing number of companies able to offer our unique addressing technology." said what3words Partnerships Director, George Hall. "Because CloudCar is a tier-1 supplier to the automotive industry, this one-time integration makes this solution accessible to both existing and future OEM customers of its production-proven infotainment platform."
CloudCar's on-board and cloud-based infotainment infrastructure is designed to improve the driver's experience with access to media, events, restaurant and parking reservations, as well as linking personal calendars, all from within the vehicle. CloudCar's integrated platform allows drivers to either speak or type in a what3words address, receive the precise destination from the what3words servers and then initiate a normal turn-by-turn navigation to their destination.
"CloudCar's expertise is in improving and simplifying a driver's engagement with their infotainment system and then seamlessly integrating it into their overall driving experience. We are always on the lookout for novel technologies and content to advance these goals" said Mark Bowlby, Director of Partnerships at CloudCar. "Our partnership with what3words further extends this philosophy for a simplified and accurate navigation process."
ABOUT CLOUDCAR
CloudCar is developing the future of connected car technology for automotive OEMs. Its platform enables a global ecosystem of infotainment cloud-based services and delivers a contextualized, personalized and voice-first experience in the vehicle. Founded in 2011, CloudCar is a privately-held company headquartered in Santa Clara, California, with offices in France, Germany and China.
The company was ranked as one of the 20 most promising Automotive Technology Solution Providers and named Global IoT Cloud Company of the Year in 2019.
For more information, visit http://www.cloudcar.com.
ABOUT WHAT3WORDS
Co-founded in London in 2013 by Chris Sheldrick, what3words is the simplest way to talk about location. The system covers the entire world, never needs updating, and works offline. A what3words address is a human-friendly way to share very precise locations with other people, or to input them into platforms and machines such as autonomous cars or e-commerce checkouts.

NEW YORK (PRWEB) MARCH 11, 2020
ARTA is celebrating five years strong as the premier provider of innovative technology and fulfillment solutions for global white glove logistics, and revealing it has provided over 50,000 shipping quotes and shipped in and out of over 1,600 cities in 62 countries. In the last year alone, the company has seen tremendous growth, expanding their partner network over 25 percent and rolling out a number of NEW solutions to broaden their scope including ARTA for E-Commerce, ARTA for Auctions and their proprietary API that makes it easy for businesses to harness the power of ARTA's tools that automate complex logistics and bridge fragmented supply chains for white glove shipping needs. ARTA is also celebrating a complete rebrand, including a new visual look and website design.
"As the business has evolved, so have our capabilities and our website and logo are now reflective of our more comprehensive approach," said Meredith Blechman, Head of Marketing for ARTA. "The need for white glove logistics moved beyond just the fine art industry, and we expanded our platform capabilities to keep up with this demand. As our company shifted, our brand needed to as well, and this necessitated a refresh to stay consistent with where we are now and where we are going in the future."
To celebrate five strong years, ARTA is revealing its picks for the top five logistics industry trends we'll see in the next five years:
High Expectations Are Here To Stay: In the age of Amazon Prime's 2-day, and now even 1-day, shipping model, consumers are quickly being conditioned to expect that the items they purchase online will arrive quickly, safely and efficiently. In terms of relatively small, low value, or parcel goods, consumers know they can get virtually anything they want within 48 hours and those expectations are here to stay.
Wanting it All, Wanting it Now: The expectations around shipping parcel goods will trickle down into goods across all sectors and consumers will begin to expect that anything they buy online - whether it's a toothbrush or an antique sectional - will be delivered on their terms. E-commerce will have to make adjustments to meet demand and soon, consumers will have the same post-sale experience no matter what they're buying: seamless and fast.
Giants Will Vertically Integrate: As demand for efficient shipping increases, giants in the e-commerce space will continue to expand their offerings. Just last month Walmart announced that it will now offer third-party vendor fulfillment, no doubt in a rush to keep up with Amazon. As demand increases, so will the offerings from mass market retailers and marketplaces such as in-house payment and financing solutions.
Global Tensions Will Require Work Arounds: Between trade wars, Brexit and novel coronavirus, the last year alone has given the global logistics industry many issues to overcome. When borders close, it becomes more difficult, if not impossible, to have a truly global economy, and logistics providers will need to continue to innovate work arounds whether sourcing domestically or limited offerings.
AI Will Make Its Way Through: Machine learning is advancing more and more industries every day, and eventually will streamline the logistics sector even further. Programming will be able to predict delivery windows to the tune of minutes, not hours, among other things.
"There is a revolution happening in the e-commerce space - people are able to buy just about anything from thousands of places online and the logistics field is rushing to keep up with demand," said Adam Fields, CEO of ARTA. "We are enabling the next generation of e-commerce by providing logistics automation technology for the white glove logistics space, a $25 billion market that is growing 20 percent year over year as more goods are sold online. Nonconveyable and luxury goods are the next wave of global e-commerce."

About ARTA
ARTA delivers innovative technology and fulfillment solutions for global white glove logistics. ARTA provides a proprietary API and platform that streamlines the shipping of high-value, oversized, and fragile goods requiring extra services from point of sale to delivery. With a single solution, ARTA safely, easily and cost effectively ships high-touch items to more customers in more locations to drive sales, enable opportunities for new categories and expand the global footprint for businesses today.

GRANTS PASS, ORE. (PRWEB) MARCH 11, 2020
Rentec Direct, the highest-rated property management software solution, recently announced a new linked accounts feature for users of its platform. Rentec Direct is currently the only property management software on the market that allows users to easily and securely switch between multiple accounts within the software. This means that landlords and property managers who manage properties and tenants across multiple accounts can now access all of their data from one primary portal.
"Bold innovation and forward-thinking are at the heart of Rentec Direct's company culture," said Rentec Direct President, Nathan Miller. "We are continuously improving and updating our software based on real client feedback and requests. Our goal is to find creative developments to solve common problems, and increase efficiency and success for our clients wherever possible."
The new linked accounts feature allows Rentec Direct clients to link multiple secondary accounts under one primary account, enabling access to all accounts using a single login. This means that linked accounts can be quickly accessed without needing to log in and out of accounts, giving users instant access to the data they need.
As with most of its feature upgrades, this latest development came about due to the company's commitment to customer service and client satisfaction. Many Rentec Direct users have more than one account within the system, and directly requested easier access to save time and increase efficiency. The company's in-house software development team created a streamlined solution to fill the gap and many clients have already adopted the feature with high success rates.
To learn more about the new linked accounts feature, visit: https://www.rentecdirect.com/blog/multiple-account-logins/.
About Rentec Direct
Rentec Direct offers industry-leading property management software and tenant screening solutions for real estate professionals. Features include online rent payments, tenant and owner portals, the industry's largest vacancy listing syndication network, full property, tenant, and owner accounting, 1099-MISC reporting and more.

Wins for "Network Security" and "Risk Analysis" Validate LogRhythm's History of Providing Quality Solutions to Address the Latest United States Government Security Threats

BOULDER, COLO. (PRWEB) MARCH 11, 2020
LogRhythm, the company powering today's security operations centers, announced that Security Today honored it with two Government Security Awards, or "Govies." LogRhythm's NextGen SIEM Platform and NetMon received recognition as outstanding government security products in the "Risk Analysis" and "Network Security" categories, respectively.
To determine the winners, an independent panel of judges from the security industry reviewed nominees against a variety of criteria, including features; user friendliness; interoperability; and impact in technical advances, in scalability, and in the security industry.
"We're thrilled to receive both awards from Security Today. Ensuring government agencies have the advanced software needed to protect themselves is of the utmost importance, and LogRhythm has been committed to their cyber safety for quite some time," said Mark Logan, CEO of LogRhythm. "While the threat landscape may be evolving in the government sector, our customers can be confident in knowing they already have the features and functionalities needed to stay one step ahead of the threat actors."
The government threat landscape throughout 2019 was largely defined by ransomware. These attacks targeted both state and local governments, with one such notable event, including the 22 Texas local governments that were hit in a "coordinated ransomware attack." But while these types of incidents may have been new to some, they were not to LogRhythm, as the company has long invested in developing platform capabilities to address these exact attacks. Examples include the abilities to search the entire environment for suspicious traffic on ports and monitoring for files executing from locations typically taken advantage of by ransomware.
And while capabilities like these are part of the reason that LogRhythm's products have consistently been a popular option for government organizations looking to improve their IT and security operations, they are not the only factor. LogRhythm's security solutions are used by more than 100 government organizations, with many noting that the reason they selected LogRhythm was due ease of use and flexible licensing and deployment options available with the NextGen SIEM Platform.
Unlike other solutions that may require months for users to fully learn and effectively use, government security practitioners consistently deploy and find meaningful value from the LogRhythm platform within a matter of days. And because customers can choose to license and deploy the solution on-premises (using hardware, software, or both), in the cloud, or a combination of on-prem and in the cloud, the LogRhythm NextGen SIEM Platform can be deployed within any government environment. No matter what kind of infrastructure the environment is built on — even if it features air gapped networks or requires an unlimited amount of data to be sent to the SIEM — customers can easily purchase, implement, and begin using the solution.
As a testament to LogRhythm's immediate impact, one government CIO stated: "LogRhythm made a huge difference in our enterprise environment. From the very beginning the benefits of the solution were realized in what we could now visualize. It brought to light some issues and inconsistencies that could not have been seen or even detected without a full SIEM solution. The LogRhythm team has been extremely responsive to needs and their support has been second to none."
LogRhythm is committed to ensuring government agencies have access to company personnel and resources to set them up for ongoing success. Previously, the company has collaborated with industry partners to provide capture-the-flag-style training, employing real-world scenarios so government security practitioners can improve their incident response, forensics, and red and blue team skills. And this spring, LogRhythm will be available to meet with both existing and prospective customers at a number of events, including its LogRhythm User Group (LUG) event in Salt Lake City on March 11, the TechNet Fort Bragg Symposium in North Carolina on April 21–22, and the GEOINT 2020 Symposium in Tampa on April 26–29.

eDriving, a leading global provider of driver risk management programs, has announced a partnership with Smith System to provide behind-the-wheel training for Pharmaceutical Sales Group (PSG) clients.

CAPE MAY, N.J. (PRWEB) MARCH 11, 2020
The Smith System advanced classroom and behind-the-wheel training program teaches safe driving practices using The Smith5Keys, a method proven to reduce risks on the road. Each driver learns through a series of behind-the-wheel experiences and by observing an instructor-narrated drive that demonstrates unique techniques to navigate through traffic. By experiencing real-world traffic scenarios, drivers are better able to replicate these skills while on the job.
As a result of the new partnership, eDriving's PSG clients benefit from a special pricing plan, and have the ability to exchange seats in the course with other eDriving PSG clients to minimize cancellation fees. Class completions can be recorded, together with eLearning and FICO Safe Driving Scores, in clients' Virtual Risk Manager (VRM) programs. Clients also have the ability to open additional classes based on student location, including remote areas.
"We are pleased to be partnering with eDriving's innovative PSG Alliance to elevate scheduling flexibility and enhance the ROI of behind-the-wheel training," said Tony Douglas, CEO of Smith System Inc. "The cancellation fee protection opportunity is a win-win in our collective commitment to improving road safety."
eDriving's PSG clients completing a Smith System course receive a study guide to reinforce what they have learned and motivate them to keep practicing the techniques, along with a written evaluation of their driving strengths and weaknesses, recommended drill skills to focus on improvement opportunities, a certificate of completion and three months' free subscription to the Mentor by eDriving smartphone-based driver safety program to support continued driving focus and improvement.
"Our comprehensive driver risk management program enables organizations around the world to identify and reduce driver risk," said Ed Dubens, CEO/ Founder of eDriving. "Supporting our clients to access behind-the-wheel training that helps drivers see, think and act their way through various driving environments, challenges and changes that exist, regardless of where they travel or the vehicles they operate, complements our program perfectly."

ThoughtWire today announced its strategic technology partnership with PointClickCare, the leading cloud-based software vendor for the senior care market. Together, ThoughtWire and PointClickCare will work to help overcome patient data challenges experienced in Ontario's Long-Term Care (LTC) facilities.

TORONTO (PRWEB) MARCH 12, 2020
ThoughtWire today announced its strategic technology partnership with PointClickCare, the leading cloud-based software vendor for the senior care market. Together, ThoughtWire and PointClickCare will work to help overcome patient data challenges experienced in Ontario's Long-Term Care (LTC) facilities. This partnership has resulted in a new solution built on the Microsoft Azure platform including AI services.
Ontario's LTC system is facing increased pressure to streamline and simplify how clinicians access patient data. Residents at LTC facilities often require complex medical care, yet LTC facilities typically lack easy access to advanced medical technology, such as on-site laboratory testing and diagnostic imaging. As a result, LTC residents are referred to external health organizations and their reports are returned to the LTC using a mix of paper-based and electronic methods.
This creates a challenging scenario for clinicians accessing patient data, requiring them to manually match records between systems and search large databases to find test results. Not only is the current approach inefficient, but it also increases the risk of privacy breaches and user errors.
To solve this challenge, ThoughtWire and PointClickCare developed eConnect, a unified solution for clinicians to access a patient's medical data built on Azure. The eConnect solution, designed for the long-term care market, provides critical data sources, while applying Robotic Process Automation (RPA) and Augmented Intelligence (AI) to create a single source of truth for patient data. It also improves efficiency, reduces the risk of user error and overcomes many privacy concerns.
"At ThoughtWire, we believe that healthcare data challenges are best solved through partnerships," said Mike Monteith, CEO of ThoughtWire. "That's why we're proud to announce our work with PointClickCare, built on Azure, to create better experiences and outcomes for patients at long-term care facilities."
"Having access to the right data at the right time is essential to improving healthcare outcomes," says Stuart Feldman, General Manager, Canada, PointClickCare. "There is a wealth of data available to care providers and through the eConnect solution, we are enabling frontline care staff to access the right information in an efficient and compliant way."
"Advancements in technology have led to new opportunities to unlock siloed data and improve patient care," said Lisa Carroll, Canadian Public Sector Lead, Microsoft Canada. "We are pleased to work with partners like ThoughtWire and PointClickCare, who are leveraging Azure to transform the way clinicians assess and treat patients, ultimately leading to better experiences and outcomes."
