If you need to move your company to a virtual environment in response to the new coronavirus, Microsoft Teams can help keep your business running with a remote workforce.

DAYTON, OHIO (PRWEB) MARCH 12, 2020
In response to the COVID-19 outbreak, Microsoft is partnering with Centric Consulting, a business and technology consulting firm, to help eligible companies implement a free six-month Office 365 E1 Trial.
This trial subscription includes Microsoft Teams, a communication and collaboration platform that can keep your business running safely and securely in a virtual environment.
"The recent health crisis is disrupting virtually every business in every industry," said Maurice Faison, who leads Centric's Microsoft Practice. "We're grateful to be in the position to offer our services in this way at this time."
Here's how Centric plans to help companies during this critical time:
     1. Deploy a free, six-month trial of Office 365 E1, which includes Teams, to support eligible organizations who have less than 1,000 employees and meet the following criteria:
         - Do not currently have any Office 365 subscriptions, or
         - Do not have an Office 365 subscription that includes Teams (Exchange Online Plan 1 or Plan 2, or Office 365 Business)
     2. For companies that fall outside those parameters, contact teams@centricconsulting.com to assess your current state of Office 365 and whether you can take advantage of the critical collaboration and communication capabilities of Microsoft Teams.
Founded as a virtual company 20 years ago, Centric has experienced the power of Microsoft Teams firsthand since migrating to Microsoft Office 365 almost two years ago. In just a short time, employees have stated that the platform has helped them better connect with each other and the hundreds of clients they serve across the nation.
"In the 20 years that our company has been working remotely, Teams has been the best tool for us to effectively communicate and collaborate with our own colleagues as well as clients and partners," said Aaron Aude, who leads Centric's Enterprise Collaboration Practice.
As a Managed Gold Competency Partner, Microsoft's highest partner status, Centric has also been recognized for its expert ability to develop, deliver and support Microsoft Cloud solutions like Teams, which helps clients boost productivity.
Centric's own experience using Microsoft Teams combined with the work the company has accomplished together with clients to deploy, govern and adopt Teams puts them in a unique position to help organizations evaluate their options.
How quickly your company can leverage the capabilities of Microsoft Teams will depend on how you plan to use it, how much time and money you want to invest in the plan, and how committed you are to promote its usage across your workforce.
For organizations that want to quickly deploy basic chat and meeting capabilities, Centric can implement an Office 365 tenant, create accounts, and license people for Teams in less than a week. It would take between two to four weeks to implement more advanced capabilities, which includes providing basic training, adoption, change management, security and compliance, and governance planning.
Want to better understand how to transform your organization to a more remote or virtual workforce without losing efficiency, effectiveness and engagement? Contact Centric Consulting to get started today.

Offered at half price, Swarm is an award-winning software platform that enables networked teams to quickly make AI-optimized decisions by collaborating remotely in systems modeled after natural swarms.

SAN FRANCISCO (PRWEB) MARCH 12, 2020
Unanimous AI, maker of the award-winning Swarm software platform, announced today that any business team in the US that is forced to collaborate remotely because of the Coronavirus, will be given a half-price discount off the standard monthly subscription price.
Named "AI Technology of the Year" at SXSW in 2018, Swarm is the world's only on-demand AI platform for amplifying the intelligence of remotely collaborating business teams. Inspired by the biological principle of Swarm Intelligence, Swarm enables any business team to optimize its combined knowledge, wisdom and insight, to quickly converge on optimized forecasts, evaluations, prioritizations and decisions.
Swarm is an AI-based collaboration platform that enables optimized decision-making by remote business teams. Networked teams, especially those that are new to tele-working, depend heavily on conference calls, online chat, and video conferencing for basic communications, but often struggle to make fast and accurate decisions as a distributed team. Swarm's secure, cloud-based platform complements any communication channel and gives teams the means to quickly and easily reach AI-optimized insights, getting the most from the combined knowledge, wisdom, and experience of their team members.
Numerous academic studies have shown that teams using Swarm, can significantly amplify their group intelligence. As published in the Journal Nature (Digital Medicine), medical teams at Stanford University significantly increased their collaborative accuracy, reducing diagnostic errors by over 30%. In another study, published in collaboration with researchers at MIT, financial teams significantly increased their forecasting accuracy (over 35%) when predicting financial markets. And finally, as published last year in Berkeley's California Management Review, business teams using the Swarm platform were able to quickly reach optimized decisions about marketing messages, advertising content, and sales forecasts.
Swarm Intelligence, the science behind the Swarm platform, is the reason why birds flock, bees swarm, and fish school – they are smarter together than alone. By forming closed-loop systems, these organisms produce insights, together in groups, that greatly exceed the abilities of any individual member. While humans have not evolved this ability naturally, Swarm technology enables this using AI, allowing groups to amplify their intelligence by forming real-time swarms. The process was described in a popular TED talk, demonstrating how Swarm technology can amplify team intelligence across a wide range of collaborative tasks.
"Business teams around the world have been using Swarm for everything from marketing decisions to financial forecasting" said Dr. Louis Rosenberg, CEO of Unanimous. "With many teams forced to work remotely, we are now seeing interest in the platform for an even wider range of decision-making tasks and we are offering significant discounts to any business impacted by Coronavirus."
About Unanimous AI
Unanimous AI is the maker of Swarm the world's only on-demand AI platform for amplifying the collective intelligence of remotely collaborating business teams in real-time.

Aragon evaluates 16 major providers in the digital business platform market.

PALO ALTO, CALIF. (PRWEB) MARCH 12, 2020
Aragon Research identifies sixteen major providers in its second edition of the Aragon Research Globe for Digital Business Platforms, 2020, published today. Aragon Research is the only research and advisory firm to publish a market evaluation report on major digital business platform providers. The report states that to support digital business, organizations must use a digital business platform to integrate many of the emerging technologies (IoT devices, analytics, apps, etc.) and data sources needed to enable new business models.
Digital business presents exciting opportunities for organizations to create new business models, engage with their partners and customers in new ways, and leverage emerging technologies to create new business growth. However, massive market hype about digital business over the past five years has also created confusion and conflation of ideas. As a result, there has been misperception regarding how organizations might leverage platform technologies to support digital business.
Digital business platforms are primarily open development platforms that include the following:

Workflow and process management capabilities

Data and systems integration capabilities

AI, decision optimizing, and action features

Machine (IoT) and sensor management that customers can use to create digital business solutions

"To successfully support digital business, organizations need to design their business models, processes, and services with the customer's context and perspective as the starting point rather than the end point," says VP Research at Aragon Research, Betsy Burton. "Further, it means starting with the perspective of your potential future customers, and their business ecosystem."
The providers evaluated in this Globe report include: Amazon, Appian, AuraPortal, Bonitasoft, C3.ai, Cisco, Genpact, Google, IBM, ITESOFT/W4, iVEDiX, Microsoft, Nintex, Pega, Salesforce, and TIBCO.
Enterprises should use this Globe report to learn how to best support digital business through digital business platforms. Aragon clients can access the Aragon Research Globe for Digital Business Platforms, 2020 in the AIN client community or on aragonresearch.com.

Announced this afternoon, New Orleans-based hospitality management company, Kirkendoll Management (KM), is enacting a temporary paid sick leave policy that grants up to two weeks of paid time off to all employees, including non-exempt hourly workers, who suspect they've contracted COVID-19 (coronavirus).

NEW ORLEANS (PRWEB) MARCH 12, 2020
Announced this afternoon, New Orleans-based hospitality management company, Kirkendoll Management (KM), is enacting a temporary paid sick leave policy that grants up to two weeks of paid time off to all employees, including non-exempt hourly workers, who suspect they've contracted COVID-19 (coronavirus).
The spread of coronavirus is having destabilizing effects on the hospitality and service industries, which rely on hourly workers who are often not allocated paid sick days. KM's new policy is novel in that it is companywide and includes non-exempt hourly employees. "The last thing we want is for our nearly 500 employees to choose between financial security and social responsibility. If employees are sick, we want to provide them with every incentive to stay at home and not worry about being able to pay their bills," said Vice President Caroline Kirkendoll.

In a new article, User1st Director of Product Management Tom Arnold explains why automated and AI-powered digital accessibility solutions do not provide foolproof protections from compliance lawsuits.

WASHINGTON (PRWEB) MARCH 12, 2020
User1st, the provider of the most innovative web accessibility solutions on the market, today published an article that explains why companies should be cautious when deploying automated or AI-powered solutions for making their websites and apps accessible to persons with disabilities.
In his article titled "Buyer Beware of Fully Automated Digital Accessibility Software," User1st Director of Product Development Tom Arnold argues that although automation and AI hold the promises of reducing the overall work required for maintaining accessibility compliance, they only catch about 40% of accessibility errors, which can leave an organization vulnerable to a lawsuit.
"Automation and AI is intended to support, but not replace, the human effort in digital accessibility," writes Arnold. "Humans use your website and apps, not machines. There is no replacement for human testing when it comes to providing the best user and customer experience. Don't fall for the false promises of 'fully automated compliance.'"
Digital accessibility is the ability of a website, mobile application or electronic document to be easily navigated and understood by all users of varied abilities, including those who have visual, auditory, motor or cognitive disabilities. Applying digital accessibility is like translating your website into a different language, only this language supports people with visual, mobility, and even cognitive impairments.
Arnold's full article is as follows
Buyer Beware of Fully Automated Digital Accessibility Software
By Tom Arnold, Director of Product Management
2020 looks to be a record setting year for digital accessibility lawsuits based upon the number of cases alone filed in January and February. And if your company uses 100% automated or vendor-proclaimed artificial intelligence (AI) accessibility software, you are NOT protected. Indeed, a number of the current lawsuits are against companies that implemented an automated accessibility solution.
By way of background, there are an increasing number of federal and state laws and court cases that require a company's customer-facing websites, mobile applications, and other digital assets to be accessible to individuals with disabilities (including visual, hearing, and cognitive impairments). Compliance in this legal environment means developing and modifying website elements and content in a manner that can be used and understood by such individuals (e.g., alt-text explanations for images, closed-captioning for video/audio files, appropriate color contrasting for font and background).
Many accessibility technology vendors make promises of fast, easy, and fully automated accessibility solutions. These vendors promise, for example, that within 48 hours your website can be "fully compliant" without any work by your team, without adapting or changing the source code of your customer-facing digital assets, with no manual testing efforts on their part, and with a cost that's not even a blemish to your budget. Sounds too good to be true, right? In many cases it is.
First, many of these accessibility technology vendors do not even back the quality of their solution or warrant compliance. Indeed, many of these vendors state in their own terms of service that they do not guarantee accessibility compliance for the elements supposedly fixed by their automated solutions and further severely limit their liability if an accessibility issue occurs. More importantly, these vendors often do not explain that their technology solutions only address some limited, very basic requirements for accessibility. Buyer beware of remediation products that do not address the much broader set of user inaccessibility issues.
So, what about that magical automated or AI-powered solution to deliver full web or digital accessibility? While automation and AI has the promise of reducing the work required for accessibility, these 100% guarantees fail manual, human accessibility testing every time, leaving your organization vulnerable to a lawsuit. Automation and AI is intended to support, but not replace, the human effort.
All remediation technologies are not the same. It is worth your time and company's reputation to understand digital accessibility and the remediation capability you need before you buy. The last thing your organization needs is a second lawsuit (or multiple lawsuits), which is becoming another trend in digital accessibility.
Where to start?
Digital accessibility goes beyond compliance. It's a business decision to better serve all customers, regardless of abilities, via your website, app, and online communications. Therefore, design an accessibility plan that meets your specific compliance needs, organizational goals, and available resources for testing and remediating your digital assets. Taking a pro-active approach to accessibility can improve your customers' experience while mitigating risk and protecting your organization from potential lawsuits.
Improving your organization's accessibility can be a significant internal undertaking. Because your digital services are continuously updated, you need the tools to continuously test and remediate. First, consider the accessibility knowledge of your team and the bandwidth for them to remediate or take on continuous remediation in the future.
Next, determine the current state of your digital assets through automated and manual testing. Even if you have an automated or AI-powered accessibility widget, it is worth the time to test and ensure accessibility, thereby protecting your company's reputation. Automated testing only catches about 40% of accessibility errors. You can also contract with third party accessibility testing providers for manual testing if your current company doesn't have the capability. Remember, automated or AI-powered tools are supposed to augment manual accessibility testing efforts, not replace them.
Now you know what's wrong, how do you fix it? Through reliable remediation tools and solutions. If you have a strong development team, you should be able to fix errors in-house. If you have a smaller or inexperienced team, you may want to work with a vendor to fix any errors.
There are other immediate steps you can take to improving the accessibility of your digital assets. For example, you can add an accessibility statement to your website which communicates your company's commitment to an accessible customer experience and allows for feedback. Develop a compliance program to ensure that all future digital assets are developed for accessibility.
Here's the bottom line. Humans use your website and apps, not machines. There is no replacement for human testing when it comes to providing the best user and customer experience. Caring for customers through digital accessibility demonstrates an organization's willingness to go beyond regulatory compliance. So, don't fall for the false promises of "fully automated compliance." Your users deserve better. Your organization's reputation depends on the right digital accessibility solutions.
Tom Arnold has nearly 10 years of experience in product management, testing, and implementation serving the IT services and banking industries. Tom holds an MBA from Stony Brook University Graduate School and several licenses and certifications, including a Certified Professional in Accessibility Core Competencies (CPACC) from the International Association of Accessibility Professionals and IBM Applied AI Certification.

Partnership includes free use of Vectorworks software available on Headlong's computers.

COLUMBIA, MD. (PRWEB) MARCH 12, 2020
Global design and BIM software provider Vectorworks, Inc. continues its support of the Philadelphia Design Center, recently acquired by Headlong Dance Theater, by donating computers and software licenses to the local community of designers and creative professionals. Headlong fosters the creative ecosystem by providing educational opportunities, financial advice and strategic planning.
"Vectorworks has been an amazing partner over the years with their in-demand software being invaluable to our members and their willingness to assist whenever we had questions about the software," said Karen DiLossi, director of arts in sacred places at Partners for Sacred Places. DiLossi was part of the team that spearheaded efforts for the opening of the Philadelphia Design Center. "There would have been no Philadelphia Design Center without their contribution and continued support in this new phase of life. More businesses and corporations should think like Vectorworks when it comes to the communities they serve and who benefits the most from using their products."
In 2016, Vectorworks donated software, computers and training opportunities during the grand opening of the Philadelphia Design Center. With this continued partnership, 12 Vectorworks Designer licenses and 12 iMac computers will be donated to both the South Philadelphia and Center City computer labs.
As of August 2019, Headlong took over the Philadelphia Design Center. When DiLossi's team was looking for the next best step for the Center, they wanted to ensure the organization that was selected kept their core values of accessibility, affordability and creativity all packaged in a supportive environment. According to DiLossi, "Headlong rings true to all of those values, and we couldn't be happier handing off our Design Center to their capable hands and minds. They've been a supportive and innovative thinker in Philadelphia's cultural community for a long time, so it makes sense that they wanted to take the Design Center to a higher level."
"Headlong is passionate about supporting the vital work of independent designers in Philadelphia through our partnership with Vectorworks," said David Brick, co-founder and artistic director of Headlong. "With Vectorworks' generous support we are able to provide design tools for the cutting-edge work of artists, designers and performance productions. With this program, independent and low-to-the-ground designers working in Philadelphia's rich and diverse performance and art scene will have access to design tools as sophisticated as their vision."
"It's remarkable to have another opportunity to help grow and develop Philadelphia's most diverse design talent," said Vectorworks Marketing Director Alice Lowy. "Providing our most versatile set of design and 3D modeling tools to a diverse group of visionaries helps them to take on challenges, and aids in fulfilling their creative dreams and beyond."
Learn more about the software the South Philadelphia and Center City computer labs will be using. Get a 30-day free trial of Vectorworks Designer to experience the technology first hand.
About Headlong Dance Theater
Headlong Dance Theater was founded in Philadelphia in 1993 with the belief that art and performance are an ideal place for human engagement and transformation. Headlong dance and performance productions are celebrated for innovations in how audiences engage and participate in performances that inhabit significant cultural sites — for example, hotel pools, an abandoned church, individual homes and a reclaimed pier that welcomed over a million immigrants to the US between 1870 and 1915.
Headlong community programs foster the creative eco-system by providing support and services for artists and projects at their community hub in South Philadelphia with studios, office, workspace and a 5-bedroom apartment. Headlong provides space grants to artists, strategic planning support and co-operative programs that seek to share resources as part of creating a more connected and sustainable artistic community. Headlong supports outstanding artists through its fiscal sponsorship program, and the Headlong Performance Institute is an intensive residency and training program accessible to artists regardless of financial circumstance.

Eagle Eye Cloud VMS customers can record a full video image from fisheye cameras and dewarp in the browser without browser plug-ins.

AUSTIN, TEXAS (PRWEB) MARCH 12, 2020
Eagle Eye Networks, the global leader of cloud video surveillance, announced today the release of its cloud-client fisheye camera dewarping solution. Eagle Eye Cloud VMS customers can now securely access their fisheye cameras and dewarp the video in real-time from their desktop browser or mobile device.
Eagle Eye Cloud VMS supports a broad array of fisheye cameras from multiple manufacturers, models include:

Axis M3058

Hanwha 9010R

Avigilon 12.0-H4F-DO1-IR

Hikvision DS-2CD63C5G0-I(V)(S)

Dahua NK8BR4 12MP

Eagle Eye Networks CDUF-003a

Eagle Eye Networks expects to quickly expand the support for additional fisheye cameras from additional manufacturers. Eagle Eye Cloud VMS currently supports over 3,500 IP, analog and HD Over Coax cameras.
"Fisheye cameras have numerous efficiencies and cost savings associated with them," said Dean Drako, CEO of Eagle Eye Networks. "Eagle Eye's fisheye dewarping solution transforms standard fisheye cameras into powerful intuitive tools while decreasing the cost and maintenance needed to cover a wide area."
Included with the new fisheye dewarping is a virtual PTZ function that provides benefits over traditional PTZ cameras. Traditional PTZ cameras can only capture the area they are aimed at when they are aimed at it. The virtual PTZ function in Eagle Eye Networks' fisheye dewarping captures footage of an entire area regardless of any pan, tilt or zoom. The user can, therefore, pan, tilt and zoom after the fact and see the image when viewing historic video.
Previously, the Eagle Eye Cloud VMS supported fisheye cameras through camera-based dewarping. The new cloud-client dewarping no longer requires the camera to do the dewarping function. Dewarping is done in real-time or when viewing historic video. Customers can apply preset dewarps to their video in Single, Dual 180, Quad and 360 views. These views can be converted to layouts as if they were separate cameras.
The Eagle Eye Cloud VMS cloud-client fisheye camera dewarping is available immediately and globally to all partners and customers. There is no additional charge for these features.
ABOUT EAGLE EYE NETWORKS
Founded in 2012, Eagle Eye Networks, Inc., is #1 in cloud video surveillance worldwide, addressing the needs of businesses, alarm companies, security integrators, and individuals.

Minnesota Advisory Group has recently invested in a talent acquisition technology platform for healthcare organizations to optimize employee recruitment and retention.

BLOOMINGTON, MINN. (PRWEB) MARCH 13, 2020
Minnesota Advisory Group, a startup based in Bloomington, Minnesota, has recently invested $45 million in their talent acquisition technology platform. This platform integrates artificial intelligence, machine learning, predictive analytics and automation into a groundbreaking tool that enables U.S. healthcare organizations to optimize employee recruitment and retention.
The health care industry is experiencing an employee retention crisis. According to the American College of Healthcare Executives, over the last five years, hospital CEO turnover remained at 18 percent and nurses averaged a 16.8 percent turnover. The cost of turnover for a bedside RN ranges from $38,000 to $61,100, and it costs between $600,000 and $1 million to replace a physician. Per hospital, that's a $7.4 million to $11 million per year loss that Minnesota Advisory Group aims to prevent.
In the modern workplace, behavioral-based questions are outdated and insufficient for preventing bad hires. Predictive analytics, big data, machine learning and artificial intelligence algorithms uncover, optimize and predict future behavioral and statistical patterns. To develop its platform, Minnesota Advisory Group collected insight from more than 5.2 million employees globally. The data included behavioral indicators, organizational culture data, demographic data, competitive benchmarking, supervisor effectiveness data, exit interview data, employee engagement analysis, onboarding and new-hire feedback, and performance management reviews.
Minnesota Advisory Group's new technology offers an unprecedented recruiting and retention advantage for health care organizations. In addition, the medical division of the company has built one of the largest and most extensive networks of health care talent, and they vigorously vet the organizations they choose to work with. It is important to note that this works as a complement to, not a replacement for, human resources professionals. Many HR executives from the nation's top health systems are currently working with the firm to recruit physicians, nurses, technology and leadership staff. Many Health Systems are already experiencing a staggering boasts of 98 percent retention rate for nurses, IT, physicians and their executives. Fill rates have improved from 91 days to 25 days.
Minnesota Advisory Group's Chief Strategy Officer Dolphe Magloire Sr., former Vice President of Global Human Resources at General Electric and the mastermind behind the technology implementation, said, "Artificial intelligence and machine learning will help you analyze and understand your health systems and your competitors nearly better than you do. Whether it's intelligence gathering, talent acquisition, projecting turnover rates, improving employee engagement, optimizing employee communications, meeting deadlines, or any other unforeseen problems that would typically take years to surface, artificial intelligence will most likely be one step ahead of you. And when it comes to cost savings and overall organizational efficiencies, that's a very good investment in clients, patients and the future."

Scheduled patients who are symptomatic of COVID-19 are treated remotely to avoid exposing hospital personnel and visitors to the virus, and discharged patients have the option to continue their symptom monitoring

PHILADELPHIA (PRWEB) MARCH 13, 2020
As the spread of Coronavirus (COVID-19) accelerates across the country, Temple University Hospital (TUH), its Department of Thoracic Medicine and Surgery, and the Temple Lung Center are taking proactive steps to protect its staff and patients using HGE Health's telemedicine platform. Temple will enroll patients at risk or with mild symptoms of COVID-19 in HGE Health's platform to remotely monitor them while patients are isolated at home. Additionally, patients will be monitored during their convalescence at home following hospitalization for COVID-19 to ensure continued resolution of their symptoms. The use of telemedicine provides close monitoring of the patient's symptoms and disease course while avoiding unnecessary staff exposure to COVID-19.
Under this first-of-a-kind containment program, hospital patients are presented with the option to continue having their symptoms remotely monitored for 30-days after being discharged, or longer if additional time is required for their symptoms to subside.
"Patients who are at the hospital for treatment of an existing condition or to undergo a medical procedure have had their immune systems compromised, and are particularly susceptible to COVID-19," explained Nathaniel Marchetti, DO, Professor of Thoracic Medicine and Surgery at the Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University and Medical Director of the Respiratory Intensive Care Unit at TUH. "We attempt to limit their exposure to COVID-19 by providing carriers with remote care without requiring an in-person visit. And by continually monitoring discharged patients when they are discharged and return home, we can quickly and effectively offer medical care to the at-risk patient population when such care is needed most, without a return visit or readmission to the hospital."
"We have extensive experience with monitoring thousands of patients with COPD and following lung transplantation on a daily basis," said Michael J. Markus, PhD, the CEO of HGE Health. "We are very proud of the positive impact our platform has had on the lives of our COPD and lung transplant patients. We believe we have the technology and experienced staff to provide an effective and scalable approach to help treat the numbers of patients that may potentially suffer from the COVID-19 pandemic. We worked quickly with Temple to expand use of our platform to remotely isolate potential COVID-19 patients, and provide them with care in their own homes, where they will not expose others to the virus."
COVID-19 has now spread to over 110 countries around the world, infecting more than 120,000 and killing more than 4,000. The World Health Organization ("WHO") recognizes that the severity of Coronavirus is linked to the age and health condition of patients and has recently declared it a pandemic. Patients of an advanced age (at least 60 years old) and diagnosed with a co-morbid disease are the most likely to experience a severe infection of Coronavirus. HGE Health's digital platform and technology-enabled services, called HGE Care, allows pulmonary and primary care physicians to remotely care for patients from anywhere in the nation, and help patients better understand and manage changes in their COPD symptoms. Thanks to a daily digital interaction with their healthcare team, patients are engaged in their own symptom management, and log their symptoms on the HGE Care platform over 80% - 90% of the time. Patients enjoy peace of mind that each day they experience a change from their typical COPD symptoms, their own physician/care team will provide same-day feedback, helping patients breathe easier, avoiding ER visits and hospital admissions, and enjoy an improved quality of life, all while reducing overall healthcare costs for patients and their health plan.

ABA Business Growth, an elite recruiting, training and consulting firm serving ABA organizations world-wide, has launched an online training program to help meet most of the new Pennsylvania mandated training requirements for helping professionals providing intensive behavioral health services for children, adults and their families.

MENLO PARK, CALIF. (PRWEB) MARCH 13, 2020
The Pennsylvania Department of Human Services (PA DHS) recently issued new training standards that require helping professionals to meet a baseline of new educational regulations and standards.
ABA Business Growth, a world-wide leader in training development, recruiting and consulting services for ABA organizations, has developed web-based training programs to help support ABA organizations in Pennsylvania meet the necessary new standards so there are no gaps in service delivery. The organization has new information pertaining to the requirements, which are listed int he following section.
PROVIDING CLARITY ON THE TRAINING REQUIRED
Many ABA organizations are seeking to better understand whether or not their teams are required to take additional trainings in order to meet the new regulations. Below are a few key points from The Pennsylvania Department of Human Services concerning the guidelines.

As a PA practitioner, you may be required to complete an initial 30-hour training, under PA DHS regulations 5240.73 & 5240.83. We recommend you check with your employer and/or OMHSAS Children's Bureau-DHS at RA-PWIBHS@pa.gov to clarify your organization training needs.

An individual who is certified as an RBT and/or BCBA may count the hours of training required to maintain certification towards the new training requirements.

You ARE NOT required to re-take any of the initial training requirements if you are currently providing Behavioral Health Rehabilitation Services (BHRS).

If you are a Behavioral Health Tech (BHT) and have not previously provided BHT or TSS services, you are required to complete at least 30 hours of Department-approved training prior to providing services independently. (ABA Business Growth trainings are ACE approved)

TRAINING PACKAGE OVERVIEW
ABA Business Growth has developed several web-based training programs to help organizations across Pennsylvania meet the new training requirements. They are as follows:

        A 30-hour Training Package for Clinical Directors and Behavior Analysts with NO experience (non BCBA)

        A 20-hour Training Package for Clinical Directors and Behavior Analysts with experience (non BCBA)

Compare-autoinsurance.org has released a new blog post, "Free Car Insurance Quotes Online Help Finding Policies for High-Risk Drivers"

LOS ANGELES (PRWEB) MARCH 13, 2020
Compare-autoinsurance.org has released a new blog post that explains how to get affordable car insurance, even if the person is a high-risk driver.
For more info and free quotes, visit https://compare-autoinsurance.org/free-car-insurance-quotes-online-help-finding-policies-for-high-risk-drivers/
Lack of experience, young age, DUI or poor credit score is just a few reasons a person can be labeled high-risk. And the financial consequences are very harsh. Car insurance costs soar immediately, with premiums becoming double or triple. However, using car insurance quotes online will help drivers find acceptable deals. Use http://compare-autoinsurance.org to get free car insurance quotes and compare prices.

Do not rely only on the giants of the industry. This is one of the biggest mistakes high-risk drivers commit. Depending only on the big 4-5 companies to provide high-risk coverage will, in many cases, bring disappointing results. Big names prefer to work with safe drivers. If they would accept high-risk drivers, the news will spread up immediately and they would be assaulted by such drivers. A high number of high-risk drivers will spell disaster for their business,

However, those companies may work with subsidiaries. And these subsidiaries may provide high-risk coverage. Geico, Nationwide, Farmers Insurance have subsidiaries for high-risk drivers. It is recommended to check for other subsidiaries, too. With a simple search online, a person can obtain several company names,

Look for non-standard carriers. The big names and their subsidiaries are not always the best choice. There are dozens of smaller companies designed to provide coverage for high-risk drivers. Again, it is up to the client to check the market.

Use online car insurance quotes. Getting online quotes becomes really crucial when looking for fair prices for high-risk drivers. And don't look just for prices, also check for flexible payment programs and coverage customizations. Look for extra services, like roadside assistance and check the prices.

Compare-autoinsurance.org is an online provider of life, home, health, and auto insurance quotes. This website is unique because it does not simply stick to one kind of insurance provider, but brings the clients the best deals from many different online insurance carriers. In this way, clients have access to offers from multiple carriers all in one place: this website. On this site, customers have access to quotes for insurance plans from various agencies, such as local or nationwide agencies, brand names insurance companies, etc.

Providing a multitude of functions does not need to be complicated and complex 3D CAD models do not need to load slowly

SACRAMENTO, CALIF. (PRWEB) MARCH 14, 2020
When it comes time to select a CAD viewer, an important decision must be made: free software or high-end DMU (Digital Mockup)? It can be a challenge to find a visualization tool that doesn't force you to choose one or the other: fast performance or a full range of functionality. Furthermore, some tools provide a vast array of functionality but, prove too difficult to use. KISTERS 3DViewStation satisfies the entire enterprise's needs by combining fast and feature rich Multi-CAD visualization along with ease-of-use.
"When customers embark on their selection process for the next generation 3D CAD visualization tool, KISTERS 3DViewStation is quickly selected for their short list of CAD viewing tools up for serious consideration. During a review process, all requirements will be compared against the capabilities of the other products on their short list.

Oftentimes our customers will want to prepare CAD data for a review meeting or author work instructions for the shop floor during their trial period." said Kelly Baumann, KISTERS North America Business Development Manager. "Sometimes, at the end of the functionality evaluation there will be more than one product remaining, fulfilling all the predefined functional requirements. That is when the intuitiveness and ease-of-use that KISTERS 3DViewStation possesses comes into play and 3DViewStation is able to ultimately win as the best fitting product available and as the user's choice."
"KISTERS 3DViewStation has been developed based on customer requirements from day one.

Rule4's Co-CEOs Dan Mackin and Trent R. Hein accepted the award from Steele and credited the vitality of the Boulder community for much of the company's success. Boulder has continued to serve as the epicenter of Colorado's entrepreneurial scene, with six times more tech startups per capita than the nation's average, according to the 2013 Kauffman Foundation Tech Starts study. "This community is the tech hotbed. It's not Silicon Valley, it's not Manhattan. It's right here," said Hein. Mackin built on that, saying, "We know there are hundreds of deserving startups out there in Colorado, so we don't accept this lightly. It's an incredible honor, and we're absolutely blown away by the support of the Boulder community."
Rule4 is a 100% employee-owned, bootstrapped company. Its global client base spans four continents and ranges from small local nonprofits to global companies with more than 50,000 employees. Rule4 also completed B Corp certification within its first year, a rigorous process that very few startups undertake. Certified B Corporations are held to the highest standards of verified social and environmental performance, public transparency, and legal accountability to balance profit and purpose.
Since its launch, Rule4 has been selected as one of Built In Colorado's 50 Best Small Companies to Work For, was profiled by The Alliance Center as a Best for Colorado company, and was named a ColoradoBiz Top Company Finalist. Most recently, the Colorado Technology Association selected Co-CEO Hein as the 2019 Colorado Entrepreneurial Excellence award winner.
In closing, Mackin challenged the Chamber's business leaders to continue playing a part in growing the next generation of business leaders in Colorado. "Give a little of yourself to help perpetuate this amazing hub of innovation and entrepreneurship. Whether it's a little bit of your time or a lot, make an effort to let someone bounce ideas off of you, to nudge someone in the right direction, and be a friend."

Company opens API to academic and public sector researchers working to understand the relationship between COVID-19 and weather

SALEM, N.H. (PRWEB) MARCH 16, 2020
Weather Source, the leader in providing weather and climate technologies for business intelligence, is offering free access to weather and climate data for the purpose of COVID-19 research.
The Weather Source dataset is a curated continuum of historical (from the year 2000), present, forecast (out to 15 days), and climatology weather data covering every landmass in the world and up to 200 miles offshore.
Correlations between weather and COVID-19 are becoming more clear, as Weather Source meteorological and climatological experts chronicled in a recent blog post at https://weathersource.com/blog. Preliminary research shows that colder temperatures and lower humidity levels could lead to greater COVID-19 viability and weakened immune systems. Therefore, the powerful combination of cold, dry conditions and diminished immune response has the potential to accelerate virus transmission.
Weather Source seeks to do its part to mitigate the spread of this disease by offering free access to its OnPoint API for academic and public sector researchers who are actively working to understand the relationship between COVID-19 and weather.
"It's increasingly apparent that there are links between COVID-19 epidemiology and weather and climate factors," said Weather Source CEO Mark Gibbas. "I believe our dataset can be a valuable tool for the many research institutions working around the clock to contain the spread of this threatening virus. Weather Source is here to support their efforts in any way possible."
Those interested in applying Weather Source weather and climate data to their COVID-19 research can visit https://developer.weathersource.com/#developer-account-sign-up to gain free access to the OnPoint API by selecting "research usage." A Weather Source representative will then follow up to grant full API access. For questions or more information, contact info@weathersource.com.

I believe the Weather Source dataset can be a valuable tool for the many research institutions working around the clock to contain the spread of this threatening virus. - Mark Gibbas, CEO

Basis Technology becomes a PolySwarm customer. Basis' Cyber Triage, incident response software, helps organizations reduce risk by speeding up cyber investigations

SAN DIEGO (PRWEB) MARCH 16, 2020
PolySwarm, a threat intelligence and detection marketplace for identifying new and emergent malware, will now be used by Cyber Triage, a tool for rapid incident response by technology company Basis Technology.
Cyber Triage makes it easy for cyber first responders to quickly and confidently determine if a suspect machine has been compromised. PolySwarm will be used by Cyber Triage to help better determine if a machine communicated with malicious servers.
Dr. Brian Carrier, senior vice president and CTO at Basis Technology, has been on the front lines of the fight against cybercrime for over two decades. "Our goal with Cyber Triage has always been to help every cyber first responder identify threats as rapidly and effectively as possible," says Carrier. "The only way to make good on this mission is to partner with the most innovative tech companies in our space. PolySwarm's innovative marketplace allows us to get broad coverage of host-based threat intelligence, so it only made sense to bring them on board."
By enabling first responders to quickly determine if a host is compromised, Cyber Triage improves its customers' ability to prioritize systems and make informed decisions. For over twenty years, Basis Technology has enabled businesses and governments to tackle some of their toughest problems and expose cybercrime. Teams can deploy Cyber Triage from their IT infrastructure to scan memory, analyze the hard drive and browser history to generate information about the potentially compromised machine including if it contains malware, and is commuting with bad IPs.
"During an investigation, it's really challenging to identify which systems and users have been compromised," says Steve Bassi, CEO and founder of PolySwarm. "Basis' Cyber Triage is helping a very important segment of the population do just that with ease-of-use that is rare in the security sector. Basis' use of PolySwarm is a great example of the collaborative nature of our industry and demonstrates how everyone wins when the expert security community is connected to the front-line via Cyber Triage and PolySwarm. At the end of the day, we want to make tools accessible and effective for the front-line guys and gals who actually stop and prosecute cybercrime."
Enterprises, MSSPs and security companies can use PolySwarm to enhance their own security solutions, or use directly for detection and file reputation. PolySwarm gathers intelligence from a crowdsourced marketplace of AV companies and niche research-driven security scanning engines in real-time to detect threats and provide its users with intelligence.
To get more information about Cyber Triage's security solution visit https://www.cybertriage.com/. Learn more about PolySwarm or try the product directly at https://polyswarm.network/.
About Basis Technology
Basis Technology develops innovative products and solutions incorporating multilingual text analytics and digital forensics. Basis Technology is the primary contributor to the Autopsy open source digital forensics tool, which has 20,000+ downloads for each release and was designed to be an extensible platform. That extensibility is used by Cyber Triage to provide digital forensics recovery in an easy to use incident response tool. http://www.basistech.com
About PolySwarm:
PolySwarm is a threat intelligence and detection marketplace where anti-malware software, authored by antivirus companies and specialized security experts, compete to detect threats, millions of times per day. With a global force of security experts and antivirus companies combining at a single access point, accuracy and early detection are rewarded, and enterprises get better intel and detection.

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA (PRWEB) MARCH 16, 2020
Trulioo, the leading global identity verification company, announced today that Steve Munford will join the company as President & Chief Executive Officer, effective March 30. Mr. Munford is an accomplished leader in security and enterprise software with extensive experience in leading companies through rapid growth.
Stephen Ufford, Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of Trulioo, assumes the role of Chairman of the Board of Directors. Prior to founding Trulioo, he founded and led three consumer data-driven companies before they were acquired. Mr. Ufford remains as a major shareholder of Trulioo and will continue to add value to the company by providing guidance from his storied experience and industry knowledge through his new role on the Board.
"It has been a tremendous privilege to watch Trulioo grow into the success that it is today. As a serial entrepreneur, I believe this is the optimal time to transition to a new CEO. The smartest thing a founder can do during a period of dramatic growth is to step aside and hand over the reins to someone with a successful track record of driving exponential business growth with integrity and assurance," said Mr. Ufford. "I am extremely confident in Steve and look forward to working closely with him as he takes on this role and delves deeper into how best to globally scale Trulioo's products and operations."
"I am truly honored and humbled to be joining Trulioo in the role of CEO at this pivotal time.

"The talented and dedicated team at Trulioo have built a world-class identity verification network to enable trust in today's borderless digital economy. I share their commitment to excellence, empowerment and technological innovation to help advance their mission of financial inclusion."
Mr. Munford, who most recently served as interim CEO at Carbonite in 2019, where he led the company through its sale to OpenText. In 2018 he was the interim CEO at Absolute Software, which he led through a restructuring and recruited a permanent CEO. Previously Mr. Munford was CEO at Sophos from 2006 to 2012 and, during that time, led the company through a period of significant growth, more than tripling bookings. Sophos sold to the private equity group Apax in 2010 and then to Thoma Bravo in 2020. Prior to his role as CEO, Mr. Munford was President of ActiveState before its acquisition by Sophos in 2003. Under his leadership, ActiveState established itself as a global leader in email security software.
"The Board conducted a thorough search to identify a strategic leader with specific skills and experiences to lead the company in the next phase of its growth, and we unanimously agreed that person is Steve Munford," said Mark Midle, Managing Director at Goldman Sachs Growth Equity, which is an investor in the company, and a member of Trulioo's Board of Directors. "Mr. Munford has shown outstanding leadership and a proven ability to deliver strong results. His expertise and drive will help focus on new levels of strategic growth and expansion as the company is well-positioned for long-term success."
"I am extremely proud of what my team and I have built over the last decade here at Trulioo. Steve's hire marks an important milestone for me at Trulioo, as it's the beginning of even bigger and better things for our company, employees, customers, and stakeholders," said Mr. Ufford.

"With the built-in optionality which allows for use of the platform both behind the firewall and in a private or public cloud, the enhancements will make a significant positive impact in matters whether managed by law firms, corporations, government agencies or vendors."
The v10 platform brings several significant foundational enhancements to the award-winning proprietary cloud technology, including newly embedded Sentio AI technology to drive both CAL and manual review Oversight. Further, the new COVER module analyzes inbound documents for PII and automatically folders results. Users can then auto-redact both keywords and private information such as credit cards or phone numbers. Beyond these core AI features, there are over 131 enhancements and new features in the platform all designed to enhance the user's experience and optimize workflows, making this iCONECT's most robust update in years.
"A key differentiator is the bundled 'all-in' pricing which creates predictability and simplicity for clients." said Rob Bush, iCONECT board member. "When combined with a 'partnership' approach wherein iCONECT doesn't compete with its own channel, we're confident that v10 meets market needs on both a product and a business level."
Thom Wisinski of Haynes and Boone confirms this aligns with market need saying, "iCONECT has always looked over the horizon to create innovative workflows which help us manage complex matters. They have raised the bar again with this V10 release."

Companies get free access to HD video meetings, web chat and content workspaces for the next three months to keep workers productive while working from home as the COVID-19 crisis deepens

NEW YORK (PRWEB) MARCH 16, 2020
As the spread of COVID-19 drives the cancellation of classes, entertainment and business events, CafeX Communications today announced that Challo, the company's flagship cloud application for enterprise collaboration, is now free for organizations to use until this summer.
CafeX is offering complimentary use of Challo from today through July 1, 2020 in consideration of the following business requirements.
1. Remote work -- Remote working has already become mandatory for some. While working from home is common, many businesses aren't fully prepared for widespread enablement across the workforce. Simple but powerful tools are needed to support internal and company-to-company communication.
2. Business continuity -- Business doesn't stop, whether it is engaging with clients, partners, teaching, learning, advising, recruiting or consulting. Companies need to ensure they have tools in place to meet, collaborate, access and securely share content so that business continues with minimal interruption.
3. Multi-company work -- Security, compliance and platform-agnostic integrations are more important than ever as companies continue to work with external parties online rather than in person. Preserving an audit trail of activities, approvals and communications is important to ensure compliance with company policies, especially for engagements that extend beyond company boundaries.
"Businesses have a social responsibility to give back to the community, and that's critically important during emergencies," said Rami Musallam, chief executive officer for CafeX. "With this in mind, CafeX is providing free use of Challo along with resources and support for those navigating this evolving crisis."
Beginning today, CafeX will:
1. Offer companies use of Challo for free until July 1, 2020 to enable employees to work from home with minimal disruption. Workers can sign up at https://www.cafex.com.
2. Schedule free informational sessions and on-demand resources so anyone can learn how to use Challo at their convenience. The first information session and webinar will be on March 19, 2020. Register at https://challo.to/wtx.
Challo: a cloud application that transforms enterprise collaboration
CafeX recently introduced Challo, which helps people -- whether from the same or different companies – work together in ways that today's collaboration tools can't easily support, if at all.
Challo is based on the concept of online workspaces: persistent virtual rooms that bring together distributed content and people into one location. Like other leading tools, Challo enables users to chat with each other, meet in HD video, share files and review information to move business forward.
However, unlike other tools, which focus primarily on internal teams, Challo provides a state-of-the-art security and compliance model to support both company-to-company and in-house interactions. Featuring the latest advancements in UI design, Challo aims to be the most secure, easiest to use, all-in-one business collaboration platform in the market, empowering enterprises to work more effectively with internal and external stakeholders.
To learn more about CafeX and how to use Challo for free, please visit https://www.cafex.com.

Transcending company boundaries, Challo from CafeX provides secure, simple, all-in-one business collaboration solutions that function as well outside a company's walls as within.

In response to growing concerns of COVID-19, a new online chatroom for recovering addicts was launched this week to provide an online support group for individuals in recovery from drug and alcohol addiction.

DELRAY BEACH, FLA. (PRWEB) MARCH 16, 2020
FindRecovery.com, an online resource that boasts its extensive directory of addiction resources, is ecstatic to announce the launch of their new Find Recovery Support Chatroom. With increasing concerns over COVID-19, also known as the Coronavirus, the Find Recovery team realized that even attending local support meetings in person, such as Alcoholics Anonymous, can put those who are in recovery at risk for contracting the virus. Those who struggle with substance abuse and are already likely to have compromised immune systems and are among the individuals who are at a higher risk for serious complications if they contract COVID-19. This new online resource allows access to addiction and recovery support without increasing possible exposure.
As of Tuesday, March 11, 2020, the spread of COVID-19 has been declared by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a pandemic(World Health Organization, 2020). Since then, many events are being canceled and organizations are transitioning to digital methods of communication. Universities across the country have begun transitioning to all online classes, professional sports leagues such as the NBA & NHL have postponed games, and flight restrictions have been implemented by President Trump.
Among the many industries at risk of significant interruption, addiction treatment is one of the largest. While everyone is stocking up on hand sanitizer and face masks, there are millions of Americans who are struggling with addiction. Access to treatment and support resources is imperative for those with a substance use disorder to manage a daily battle with their own disease.
"The COVID-19 virus is a concern amongst patients and staff in medical facilities treating individuals with substance use disorder or mental illness", says Brittany Ringersen CEO of Lighthouse Recovery Institute.
"Oftentimes patients are transient meaning they travel from various states or unhealthy living conditions prior to admission into a treatment facility.
"A large concern for patients is the result of compromised immune systems due to months or years of drug or alcohol addiction, unhealthy lifestyle choices, and in some case physical limitations.
"In the early stages of the recovery process, such as when an individual is receiving medical detox to manage withdrawal symptoms or during inpatient drug treatment, there remains a larger probability of adverse health risks.
"Doctors, staff and patients should all be educated on the symptoms, treatment, and prevention efforts to reduce the risk of contracting and spreading the virus."
Let's put this Coronavirus pandemic in perspective with the addiction epidemic. Already well over 100,000, the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases across the world is rising every day. Approximately 14.8 million Americans are estimated to have an alcohol use disorder(SAMHSA, 2020) and more than 2 million Americans abuse opioids(American Society of Anesthesiologists, n.d.). Alcohol use and opioid use can cause adverse effects on the respiratory, gastrointestinal, musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, immune, endocrine, and central nervous systems. COVID-19 causes fever, cough, shortness of breath(Baldini, 2012).
Already facing compromised respiratory and immune systems, this large population of individuals who have struggled with alcohol or opioid abuse are at an increased risk of contracting COVID-19, or any other communicable disease. Remote recovery resources like the Find Recovery Support Chatroom can help these individuals avoid exposure from in-person group meetings and prevent them from further spreading the illness to others whom they may come in contact with.
Accessing the Find Recovery Support Chatroom
To access the new chatroom launched by Find Recovery, simply go to https://findrecovery.com/recovery-support-chat/ and login as a guest with an anonymous username of your choice. This chatroom is open to anyone who is in need of support and is willing to offer support to others.
What Is FindRecovery.com?
Find Recovery is an online resource for individuals who are looking for any form of help with addiction treatment and recovery support. This includes their directory that lists nearly every Alcoholics Anonymous & Narcotics Anonymous meeting, treatment facility, and suboxone doctor in the continental United States. The website also lists a number to a helpline where individuals can call and speak with a live representative. Representatives can provide assistance ranging from help in locating a meeting or walking the caller through getting help from a drug and alcohol rehab center.
This new chatroom is a perfect example of how the passionate team at Find Recovery is always looking for new ways to help reduce addiction rates and support those in recovery. As an added bonus, the chatroom helps with sobriety while increasing measures to contain the spread of COVID-19 across the United States and beyond.

iHealthHome, a Seattle-based firm, offers an innovative care management platform that connects the entire care team to the home and to one another enabling them to solve problems quickly and efficiently.

Compare-autoinsurance.org (https://compare-autoinsurance.org/) is a top auto insurance brokerage website, providing car insurance quotes online from trustworthy agencies all over the United States. This website explains how to compare prices online using car insurance quotes

LOS ANGELES (PRWEB) MARCH 17, 2020
The internet can help drivers find car insurance companies that are offering good insurance deals at low prices. The old method of going from one insurance company to another in order to obtain a few quotes to compare is not that popular anymore. Drivers can save time if they choose to compare online quotes.
To obtain the best car insurance offer when comparing quotes, drivers should consider the following:

Input the same data on each form. Drivers should be careful when completing online questionnaires and make sure they input the same info on each form from different websites. In most cases, online questionnaires will require data like ZIP code, car make, model, safety devices, driver details, traffic violations, coverage levels, and so on.

Ask for the same coverages and options. Persons who are comparing quotes from different websites should ensure that they are choosing e same coverage levels, the same options, the same deductibles, and the same liability limits. One single difference between the info inserted in a form and the other forms can lead to major price differences.

Offer realistic mileage estimates. Drivers who use their cars quite often will be tempted to offer lower mileage estimates in order to obtain better results. Mileage is an important factor analyzed by the insurers and it can greatly affect the price of insurance. Drivers who don't want to have surprises when receiving final insurance offers should provide accurate mileage estimates when completing online questionnaires.

Be honest. There are many things that can influence car insurance. Some drivers will try to hide them. Negative aspects like poor credit score, traffic tickets, at-fault accidents, DUI incidents, and others should be shared in order to obtain accurate results.

Look for discounts. Policyholders can make their insurance rates more affordable if they apply and obtain several discounts. Insurers offer various discounts like good driver discount, good student discount, low-mileage discount, or installed safety devices discount.

•Compare as many quotes as possible. Drivers should compare at least three, five quotes in order to have an idea of how their policies might look like.
Compare-autoinsurance.org is an online provider of life, home, health, and auto insurance quotes. This website is unique because it does not simply stick to one kind of insurance provider, but brings the clients the best deals from many different online insurance carriers. In this way, clients have access to offers from multiple carriers all in one place: this website. On this site, customers have access to quotes for insurance plans from various agencies, such as local or nationwide agencies, brand names insurance companies, etc.

Leading Eurozone Financial Institution Looks to Reduce Money Laundering False Alerts and Gain Better Insights into Third-Party Risk

WAYNE, PA. (PRWEB) MARCH 17, 2020
QuantaVerse, the first in the market with artificial intelligence (AI) solutions purpose-built for identifying financial crimes, has signed an agreement with BNP Paribas (BNPP) for the use of two of QuantaVerse's AI for AML solutions. BNPP is using the solutions to reduce false positives produced by transaction monitoring systems (TMS) and to provide better insights into the bank's pseudo-client activity in support of its U.S. dollar clearing operation.
After an extensive evaluation process, QuantaVerse was selected for its proven and readily-deployable AI for AML solutions. BNPP will soon be implementing the following QuantaVerse AI solutions:

QuantaVerse Pre-TMS Entity Resolution & Risk Scoring (TM) reduces TMS false positive alerts by classifying the risk of each transacting party and counter-party, down to the pseudo-client level. In the vast majority of transaction messages, the transacting parties are often ambiguous which forces expensive manual intervention. This solution enables existing TMS rules and models to deliver more accurate alerts, reducing false positives and the time it requires AML investigators to review false positives.

QuantaVerse Third Party Risk Management (TM) provides risk managers with better insights into the variances in account activity that might indicate financial crimes, or that suggest an account is being used for something other than its stated purpose. This type of analysis is a growing regulatory burden driven by the need to understand the risk profile of pseudo clients.

"It is our mission to help organizations like BNPP leverage AI and machine learning to radically improve their ability to accurately identify bad actors more quickly and efficiently than has been possible with legacy technology and techniques," explained David McLaughlin, CEO and Founder of QuantaVerse. "We hope to help these organizations hone their use of AI for AML and then assist them in operationalizing these technologies throughout their business groups and across the jurisdictions in which they operate."
BNP Paribas is a leading bank in Europe with an international reach. It has a presence in 73 countries, with more than 196,000 employees, including nearly 149,000 in Europe.
About QuantaVerse
QuantaVerse is the leader of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning solutions purpose-built for identifying financial crimes. QuantaVerse utilizes its AI Financial Crime Platform to reduce financial crime risk by identifying patterns and discerning anomalies that current approaches and systems regularly miss. The QuantaVerse solutions have helped customers more efficiently comply with AML (Anti-Money Laundering), KYC (Know Your Customer) and FCPA (Foreign Corrupt Practices Act) regulations. Most importantly, QuantaVerse is helping to rid organizations of money laundering and other financial crimes that support our greatest global ills – the drug trade, human trafficking, terrorism and political corruption.

"The edge computing market is rapidly maturing and presents plenty of opportunities across various industries and organizations of all sizes," said Mann. "With next generation infrastructure, we are able to expand the data center conversation beyond just the four walls of the production data center to the regional and small branch offices and virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI). It was great to showcase how the HE150 offers the channel community a competitive advantage by being able to handle multiple workloads under a single management console with centralized upgrade management, zero-touch deployments and custom orchestration."

OKLAHOMA CITY (PRWEB) MARCH 17, 2020
AtLink Services, LLC Oklahoma's largest wireless Internet service provider (ISP), will deploy next-generation LTE communications solutions from Telrad as part of an initiative to more than double its connected userbase within the next three years.
The last-mile infrastructure expansion is facilitated through Phase II of the Federal Communications Commission's Connect America Fund (CAF II) program and will help achieve the program's goals of accelerating national broadband build-out to more than 20 million under-served Americans.
As part of the 2018 FCC auction program, AtLink was awarded 107 markets totaling more than $5 million over ten years of annual support. AtLink further leveraged this win with a $25 million term loan from Live Oak Bank to augment CAF II funding to adjacent CAF markets. Coupled with Telrad's purpose-built fixed wireless broadband access solutions, this will enable AtLink to increase its subscriber count to as many as 40,000 households in just 36 months.
"We did our due diligence and researched a number of broadband solutions from many well-known global providers. It was clear to us that Telrad's exceptional—and exceptionally cost-effective—LTE solutions will truly maximize the funding we've been able to secure," said AtLink Founder and CEO Sam Curtis.
"That will allow us to augment our infrastructure within a relatively short timeframe and revisit previously failed installs to provide 25/3 service to even more Oklahomans who currently have severely limited broadband access or none at all."
AtLink will begin ordering LTE equipment from the global provider during the second quarter of 2020. The Oklahoma ISP is employing RUS 7 CFR 1753 construction management procedures and leveraging RUS contracts to purchase Telrad's innovative telecom solutions.
"We are thrilled by the idea of cutting-edge equipment like our dual-band CPEs connecting additional last-mile users and providing them with more ways to communicate as well as increased access to new opportunities," said Alex Freylekhman, VP of sales at Telrad.
"Outcomes like this are what drive our continued investment in emerging communications technology. Telrad remains as committed as ever to helping AtLink and other high-quality broadband service providers close the digital divide in rural America and beyond."

Consumers are advised to immediately stop using these products until they register with YGG and download the firmware update which will eliminate the overheating issue

CALABASAS, CALIF. (PRWEB) MARCH 17, 2020
Yamaha Guitar Group (YGG) today announced corrective action required for its Line 6 Relay G10 family of products.
The transmitters, which connect to an electric guitar to enable wireless connectivity, are charged by plugging them into a companion receiver, Line 6 and Yamaha THR Wireless Amplifiers, as well as a standalone Line 6 Relay G10T USB Charging Cable.
In four reported cases, the battery inside the G10 transmitter overheated during charging, adding pressure on the housing mechanism. In extreme cases, this behavior caused the top of the unit to break and separate.
There have been no incidences of overheating in the company's wireless-enabled amps themselves, including Line 6 Spider V guitar amplifiers, as well as the new Yamaha THR30II Wireless and THR10II Wireless Amps.
Consumers who purchased a Relay G10, Relay G10S, and Relay G10T Wireless product prior to February 2020 are being advised to immediately stop using these products until they register with YGG and download the firmware update which will eliminate the overheating issue. Consumers are being asked to register for the firmware update at http://www.line6.com/g10recall or by calling toll free 877-865-4636 and entering the unique serial number found on the G10T component. Once they do this, they can download the firmware update.
Consumers who have the Line 6 Relay G10T USB Charging Cable are being asked to cut the cable, take a picture of the cut charging cable and send the picture to YGG. Upon receipt, YGG will provide a full refund in the form of a PayPal payment.
For more information about the required firmware update and other related concerns, please call YGG Customer Service at 877-865-4636 or visit https://line6.com/g10recall/

Rezilion, an industry leader in autonomous cloud workload protection, today announced a partnership with VMware to integrate a self-healing solution for cloud-native workloads communicating via Tanzu Service Mesh, built on VMware NSX.
The combination of Rezilion with Tanzu Service Mesh automates security operations by certifying all applications and services running in the service mesh are in a healthy and desired state. The result is a self-healing environment that's able to automatically defend itself from misconfigurations and cyber attacks.
The Rezilion platform also delivers deep visibility into production workloads and provides Tanzu Service Mesh with continuous adaptive risk and trust assessment (CARTA) for every service in the mesh in real-time, based on currently running code.
"Rezillion is excited to offer Tanzu Service Mesh customers an approach that weaves security directly into the entire DevOps fabric, reducing friction between security and DevOps teams and overheads while increasing productivity." Liran Tancman, CEO and Co-Founder.
Upon detecting a container executing a rogue function or command, Rezilion assigns a high-risk score which triggers Tanzu Service Mesh to automatically isolate the affected container and reroute traffic to other clean containers. At the same time, Rezillion automatically returns the workload to a known-good healthy state.
"Rezilion enhances Tanzu Service Mesh by turning an organization's CI/CD pipeline into a whitelist of known good relationships and dependencies." Pere Monclus, vice president and CTO, networking and security business unit, VMware.
The combination of Tanzu Service Mesh and Rezilion helps a service mesh to become more inherently risk-aware and helps reduce exposure to security threats in a policy-driven, automated way.
This Rezilion platform enables enterprises to address vulnerabilities on the basis of risk and asset value and thus prioritize remediation based on the risk of the vulnerability (e.g., those loaded into memory) and value of the asset (e.g., does the service handle PII data).
Rezilion, founded by serial cyber entrepreneurs Liran Tancman and Shlomi Boutnaru, emerged from stealth in December 2019 with $8 million in seed funding. In February Rezilion reported that Only Half of Cloud Vulnerabilities Pose Actual Security Threats and proposed a better way forward for vulnerability management using Continuous Adaptive Risk and Trust Assessment (CARTA).

Combine the power of data warehousing with the essential customer data from CRM and databases, distributed across on-premises, cloud systems, and other tools to drive cutting-edge analytics.

SAN FRANCISCO (PRWEB) MARCH 18, 2020
DBSync, a leading technology company providing a modern data integration solution, announces support for Snowflake, a cloud data warehouse. DBSync expands the scope of actions for Snowflake customers, allowing them to perform the following:

Replicating Salesforce or OData sources, like Microsoft Dynamics 365, across multiple Snowflake or AWS S3 or RedShift accounts for easy and quick setup of cloud-based data warehouses and data lakes.

Configure Salesforce or OData source replication and restore to one or more Snowflake, AWS S3 or RedShift accounts for business continuity and disaster recovery.

Import data from Snowflake, AWS S3 or RedShift databases into Salesforce or OData supporting applications and keep the database objects and stored data synchronized.

"Snowflake's mission, to enable every organization to be data-driven, coincides very well with our calling as well," said Rajeev Gupta, DBSync CEO. "For enterprise-level companies, it is critical to recognize an interdependent and critical part that plays an agile data warehouse together with Extract/Transfer/Load (ETL) process of data integration." He added, "most data warehouses are now multiplatform data architectures, distributed across on-premises and cloud systems...integrating numerous, diverse datasets and platforms into a cohesive architecture is a difficult, but essential project for any org to fuel their management team with data-driven insights."
Benefits of Cloud Data Warehousing Using Snowflake, AWS S3 or Redshift
1. Performance and Speed

To speed up data loading process and run a high volume of queries, users can scale up their virtual warehouse to take advantage of extra compute resources.

2. Storage and Support Structured Data

Users can combine structured data for analysis and load it into the cloud database without the need for conversion or transformation into a fixed relational schema first.

3. Reduce Concurrency Issue     

Queries from one virtual warehouse never affect the queries from another, and each virtual warehouse can scale up or down as required.

It also allows organizations to seamlessly share data with any data consumer, whether they are a Salesforce customer or not.

About DBSync
DBSync is a leading provider of data management, replication, and application integration for CRM (Salesforce, Microsoft Dynamics 365 and more), Accounting (QuickBooks Desktop and Online, Microsoft Dynamics GP & NAV), Warehouse Management Systems (SkuVault), popular databases (Oracle, SQL Server, MySQL, MongoDB, S3, etc), and data integration markets. With easy to use pre-built maps and powerful Extract, Transform, and Load (ETL) capabilities, DBSync enables users to link information between leading Cloud and On-premise based CRM, hospital asset and case management, and accounting applications, along with support for on-premise applications running databases. DBSync provides support, training and consulting services for its integration solutions and is headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee, with centers in San Francisco, CA and Bangalore, India.

HOBOKEN, N.J. (PRWEB) MARCH 18, 2020
A NYC area IT security consultant and managed services provider (MSP) looks at the cost of small business data breaches in a new article on the eMazzanti Technologies website. The informative article first shares statistics that outline the state of SMB cyber security.
The author concludes by listing four SMB security tips, including password policy enforcement, assessing vendor contracts, controlling access and prioritizing cyber security training and communication. He recommends partnering with cyber security experts to design and implement a targeted cyber security strategy.
"Small businesses make an attractive target for cyber criminals for two reasons," stated Almi Dumi, CISO, eMazzanti Technologies. "First, SMBs often lack sufficient security, leaving them vulnerable to attack. Second, criminals see small businesses as a back door to the more lucrative large enterprises."
Below are a few excerpts from the article, "Minimize the Cost of Small Business Data Breaches with Proactive Security."
"Last year, Marriott, Facebook, Capitol One and the Russian government all made headline news with devastating data breaches. However, between 43 and 60 percent of all cyber-attacks in 2019 actually targeted small to medium businesses (SMBs). And the cost of small business data breaches goes far beyond the immediate damages."
Cost of Small Business Data Breaches
"A recent study by data security research firm Ponemon estimates that the average data breach costs small businesses $3,533 per employee. Contrast this with an estimated $204 per employee cost for large enterprises. Security incidents place a disproportionate burden on smaller businesses."
"However, the true cost of data breaches for small businesses includes far more than ransomware paid or remediation costs. The true costs lie in disruption of normal operations and loss of consumer trust. In fact, a 2019 study by Ping Identity showed that 81 percent of respondents would stop buying a brand online in the wake of a data breach."
Partner with Security Experts
eMazzanti's certified experts keep up to date on security technology and best practices so that business leaders can focus on core business activities. They help design and implement cyber security strategies tailored to the specific business needs and budget of small and mid-sized organizations.

Eventador.io, the streaming data engine for building killer applications, unveiled the Eventador Platform version 2.0, the first end-to-end, produce-to-consume stream processing platform that gives companies the ability to quickly and easily build applications from the firehose of streaming data. With Eventador, data science, developer, and data engineering teams can unlock new value and power from data streams in their models, applications, and ETL flows.
Eventador Platform v2.0 solves the complex problem of providing a queryable, time-consistent state of streams via materialized views. Views are defined using ANSI SQL, are automatically indexed and maintained, and arbitrarily queried via RESTful endpoints. Users can query by secondary key, perform range scans, and can utilize a suite of common operators against these views.
With the new release, the Eventador Platform removes the need for additional database, web server, load balancing, or other complex infrastructure, which means developing streaming applications is now faster and less costly than with current, often piecemeal stream processing systems. This not only provides organizations the lowest possible TCO for their streaming platforms but also increases innovation and access to new revenue streams with faster application time-to-market.
"Companies have adopted Apache Kafka as the de facto data bus for streaming data," said Kenny Gorman, Co-founder and CEO of Eventador, "By using the Eventador Platform, customers no longer need to provision expensive, often slow database infrastructure and can instead query streaming data directly using materialized views. The Eventador Platform is a bespoke solution, not a simple add-on to Kafka, that solves the disconnect between streaming data and applications."
About the Eventador Platform v2.0 Release:
The Eventador Platform is a high performance, enterprise-grade engine for running continuous stream processing jobs. Users can now materialize stateful and queryable views of data using ANSI SQL for use in applications, notebooks, machine learning models, and more.
The Eventador Platform includes:

A production-grade, Continuous SQL engine that lets users easily interact with streaming data just like they would with a database. With an interactive SQL parser, users can easily inspect, and reason about streams of data. Users can also create Materialized Views on streams of data that are continuously updated, indexed, and maintained. Teams can easily query materialized views via REST, with a rich set of operators and capabilities using a powerful query builder UI.

A simple, secure and fully managed Apache Flink platform that allows you to write Apache Flink jobs in Java/Scala and that process streaming data to/from any source or sink including Apache Kafka. It also provides rich features including team management, stop/restart/clone from savepoint, job metadata, Github integration and automatic job builds, and more.

Eventador Platform Availability:
The Eventador Platform is currently available with a 14-day free trial at https://eventador.cloud/register. Or for more information on the Eventador Platform, you can contact hello@eventdor.io.

CHICAGO (PRWEB) MARCH 18, 2020
Dynamic Communities supports user groups focused on Microsoft Dynamics 365. These groups learn together, discuss together, and collaborate together, all facilitated by Dynamic Communities' online learning labs, virtual events, and conferences.
For Dynamic Communities, then, there's no escaping the need for industry-best technology and support. Without the right hardware and software, Dynamic Communities would be completely unable to serve their audience. More than that, outdated infrastructure would threaten the organization's plans for massive growth and global expansion.
Dynamic Consulting, a Chicago-based Microsoft Business Applications implementation expert, has enjoyed a long partnership with Microsoft. As authorities on Dynamics 365, Microsoft Azure, Dynamic Consulting was the perfect choice to work with Dynamic Communities.
Dynamic Consulting used Microsoft Azure to migrate all of Dynamic Communities' learning applications to the cloud. Bypassing the need for extensive on-site hardware reconfiguration, this move helped Dynamic Communities create scalable learning experiences for their global audience.
Richard Beliveau, Dynamic Communities' Director of Academy and Credentialing, said "The migration from our legacy hardware to Microsoft Azure happened in a single afternoon. We were shocked that Dynamic Consulting could make it so simple. Now, not only do we have our technology on a platform that gives us global performance, but with Dynamic Consulting supporting the scale, we can deliver more labs without sacrificing the student experience."
This is just one example of a deep and productive relationship between Dynamic Consulting and Microsoft. Dynamic Consulting has leveraged this partnership to better serve their clients over the years. They have especially focused on helping businesses successfully implement Dynamics 365.
By working with Dynamic Communities to upgrade their technological capabilities, Dynamic Consulting is also serving the worldwide community of Dynamics 365 users. One of the key user groups within Dynamic Communities, D365UG (as it's known), is centered on Dynamics 365, and claims thousands of members from all over the globe.
"Dynamic Consulting believes strongly in the power and promise of Dynamics 365, and we believe in the people who use it," said Jonathan Stypula, Dynamic Consulting's CEO. "This passion for using and improving Dynamics 365 extends to projects like this, where our efforts will have a direct impact on users." With a community they can call their own, facilitated by Dynamic Communities and powered by Dynamic Consulting, D365UG will keep learning, talking about, and using Dynamics 365 long into the future.
Now, thanks to the partnership of Dynamic Consulting and Microsoft, Dynamic Communities not only has the technology they need, but the support they will require. Mr. Beliveau said, "We were confident that if we had specific needs, we'd be able to get help and product updates quickly because of the support Dynamic Consulting gives us. Additionally, we're glad that the feedback we provide helps inform future Microsoft product development."
That same sentiment — informing the future of Dynamics 365 — is at the heart of Dynamic Consulting's operations. Helping Dynamic Communities (and their user groups) contribute to that goal was the real reward for this project.

Video conferencing replaces in-person meetings, with Zoom as the preferred platform

NEW YORK (PRWEB) MARCH 18, 2020
Workers are heeding recommendations to stay home amid the COVID-19 pandemic, according to new analysis of meeting scheduling behavior by x.ai, the leading platform to schedule meetings. Virtual meetings have risen more than 20.09% since the beginning of March, while in-person meetings declined sharply beginning March 9, x.ai's analysis found.
In the week between March 9 and March 16, 15.79% of all meetings moved online, as in-person meetings fell to just 8.55% of meetings being scheduled in the x.ai network. This coincides with the decision by several major tech firms, including Google, Apple, Facebook, and Amazon, to advise their employees to work remotely. The World Health Organization declared the novel coronavirus outbreak a pandemic on March 11th.
"Our data indicates workers truly began to take the 'social distancing' guidance seriously on March 9," said Marcos Jimenez, x.ai's Chief Data Scientist and founder.
Virtual meetings now represent 91.45% of meetings being scheduled in the x.ai network, as of March 16th, up from 75.66% the week prior. Video conference meetings now make up 60.57% of all virtual meetings, while phone calls fell below for the first time to just 34.96%.
Zoom is being used in 69.13% of all video conference meetings scheduled using x.ai, with Google Hangouts Meet being used in 24.83% of meetings. Other video platforms, including WebEx and Microsoft Teams, make up the remaining 6.04%.
"We're seeing in the data that meetings are still being scheduled at the same rate, if not slightly higher. With all the uncertainty and school closures, it's clear that work is still being done," said Dennis R. Mortensen, CEO and founder of x.ai.
At the start of 2020, x.ai saw around 30% of meetings being scheduled with physical locations such as conference rooms, office buildings, and coffee shops. These in-person meetings began to decline at the end of February to just above 20% and began to drop sharply on March 9th, a day before the CDC recommended workers use video conferencing for meetings when possible and to consider "adjusting or postponing large meetings or gatherings."
Methodology:
x.ai analyzed a randomized sub-sample of 36,383 meetings scheduled with a location (virtual or physical) between January 17 and March 16, 2020. On average, 70 percent of x.ai meetings are scheduled in the United States, with remaining usage spread across the United Kingdom, Europe, Australia, and other countries.
About x.ai
Founded in 2014, x.ai is a leading productivity tool powered by artificial intelligence that lets you schedule meetings effortlessly. x.ai handles the most tedious parts of scheduling for you — things like finding compatible times, coordinating and following up with multiple guests, as well as managing cancellations and rescheduling requests.

Significantly, Barton has developed, implemented and supported security programs in highly regulated environments with emphasis on Sarbanes Oxley (SOX), Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA), Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI - DSS), NIST and ISO 27000 Information Security Management Systems (ISMS) standards.
"David has a broad range of experience working with organizations of all sizes and industries – from a highly regulated hospital to a midsize MSSP," said High Wire CEO Mark Porter. "This gives him a unique perspective to support our MSP partners and their most exacting customers. He also has a first-hand understanding of the challenges that MSPs and their small and medium business customers face in securing their data and IT systems."
"The reality is there's not enough security talent to go around, which leaves many organizations vulnerable," said Barton. "High Wire's mission is to give midmarket enterprises and small and medium businesses access to the best security experts and systems in the world, which they can't realistically obtain or afford on their own. Our role in the cybersecurity world is part missionary, part equalizer – to me, that's exciting."
As CTO, Barton will ensure that the Overwatch Managed Security Platform has the most current cybersecurity technologies delivered in a cost-effective manner. He will work in tandem with High Wire Network's CISO Philip Burnett, who will oversee the security analysts that monitor the platform and guide their response to the data the platform generates.
As the technical sales leader, Barton will be able to translate customer requirements into technology solutions. He'll leverage his extensive real-world experience as a trusted adviser to High Wire Network's MSP sales partners and their customers.

MSIGHTS, an early company in the marketing-technology space with more than 15 years in the field, has updated and added applications as part of its latest development of growth into marketing operations and campaign management.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (PRWEB) MARCH 18, 2020
MSIGHTS, an early company in the marketing-technology space with more than 15 years in the field, has updated and added applications as part of its latest development of growth into marketing operations and campaign management.
"With long-standing client relationships, MSIGHTS has evolved from providing specific data integration reporting services to being a mission critical platform that helps run their marketing operations," says Scott East, the CEO and co-founder of MSIGHTS (http://www.msights.com).
"As a part of this collaboration with our clients, we have continued to grow and build the platform so that it includes several other areas beyond data integration and reporting."
The MSIGHTS Platform is expanding its capabilities which are all designed to help marketers navigate the complexities of marketing campaign management from planning through analysis. MSIGHTS began in 2004 with a mission to help marketers collect and analyze results and paid media data so they can make faster more insightful marketing decisions. The company has progressed far beyond its initial objective and purpose, and now is an active partner with its clients in all aspects of their marketing programs.
In essence, MSIGHTS serves as an extension of its clients' marketing operations teams. The Platform allows marketers to easily interconnect data from fragmented point solutions, cleanse and normalize data and drive overall data governance throughout the value chain – critical elements for marketing efficiency and effectiveness.
This shift has enabled MSIGHTS to separate itself from the marketing analytics, performance, and attribution category, by providing end-to-end visibility from planning to performance as well as a continued focus on data quality, governance, and unified data sets for measurement.
The Platform now includes:

Media Briefs is an application that allows clients to standardize the creation of media briefs. It streamlines collaboration by routing briefs for feedback and approval between client marketing team and agency partners.

Creative Details is complementary to a digital-asset management (DAM) system or a content-management platform. It allows analysts to categorize aspects of creative executions for deeper analysis to determine what elements drive response.

Data Sources leverages how sources can be mapped and connected using the MSIGHTS data model rather than disparate independent source data, providing the benefit of organized, structured data from the start. MSIGHTS continuously builds APIs and direct integrations with all types of marketing sources.

Lead Importer accelerates validation of response and lead data based on targeting parameters and validation rules enabling deeper enrichment capabilities (**lead importer is highly customizable for enterprise, versus an off the shelf software).

Data Exchange allows transformed data sets to flow into any tool of the client's choice whether it's MSIGHTS reporting, a client's data lake, Microsoft Excel or a 3rd party visualization tool like Tableau. MSIGHTS provides high flexibility for exporting custom data sets.

Workbooks is a module in reporting that allows users to group and share their dashboards, providing a better way to enhance storytelling and team collaboration.

KPI Goals provides a high level of customization for KPIs, budgets and benchmarks across any area of media and creative for any time period.

"After 15 years in the space and seeing the industry fragment have poor data quality, disjointed results from plans and budgets, and self-service solutions fail, our focus is to keep scaling towards overall marketing and data operations to help clients pull it all together, " says Jim Groo, the Managing Director of EMEA & APAC for MSIGHTS.
About MSIGHTS
MSIGHTS (http://www.msights.com), founded in 2004, is one of the early companies in the MarTech field and provides cloud-based marketing operation services to some of the world's most sophisticated global advertisers. MSIGHTS services make marketers more efficient and successful by providing a single view of overall marketing campaign performance with actionable insights on what works and what doesn't. The MSIGHTS cloud-based campaign management platform automatically collects and reconciles disparate data, making it immediately available to fuel a wide variety of analytical and visualization tools.

Simflofy announced their Federal Government products' availability to the private sector.

ATLANTA (PRWEB) MARCH 19, 2020
Simflofy, a service provider specializing in big data processing through federation of multiple (all) platforms under one management console, announced their Federal Government products' availability to the private sector, with use in 35 of the Fortune 100 already.
Launched in 2012 ensuring the Departments of Defense and State can securely find, process, and/or migrate all content, data, metadata, and personally identifiable information (PII) from all applications, platforms, and repositories simultaneously, Simflofy is the only tool that can work on any type of data, and anywhere data is stored.
"We are thrilled to expand our offerings to the rest of the business community," said Mark Lugert, founder and CEO, Simflofy, who after four years working at Alfresco concluded, "I was surprised at how every vendor sold the one ECM (Enterprise Content Management) to rule them all story, yet every customer had at least five sources of content, and one even had over 200. I thought there had to be a better way, and Simflofy was born. However, what we did was create mock-ups that people could play with. We took that to about 50 companies to get feedback, and every time modifying the mock-up with respect to the feedback. After six months of this, we came out with our first product and deployed to our first customer, McKesson. It has been an exciting past few years seeing our vision come to fruition, and now finally getting to a point where we can handle a higher volume of customers."
The real differentiator with Simflofy is their ability to connect, manage, and unify any source or type of data. With connectors to 60 plus of the most popular applications, platforms, and repositories out of the box and about a two-week development time for anything there hasn't been a need for yet, which is less than implementation time, the product can be ready for any environment on day one.
This truly unique and powerful technology allows administrators, researchers, data managers, and average users to no longer have to check one location after another looking for what they need, always wondering if there is something new or somewhere they missed. Embedded security and granular credentialing mean the right people can find the right data – instantly. Utilizing one intuitive and customizable (HTML) interface or interfaced (API) with current systems, users can have the same search experience they are used to, but only have to do it once. That would be an average time savings close to 30% in today's workplace - a calculable ROI.
"This is the coolest thing since sliced bread," remarked Daniel Lunin, systems analyst and channel manager, Simflofy. "I have seen very few genuinely revolutionary tools like this. We have the ability to consolidate everything under one hood, from Facebook and Twitter to Salesforce and ERPs, along with any conventional cloud or local storage. If you work with big data and know the pain of locating hidden/dark data, migrating disparate and legacy systems, or managing data sprawl in general, you can appreciate simplifying data flow with Simflofy."
Using Simflofy technology, data can be manipulated in any manner either by moving or downloading - or making changes right where it resides, with a manage in-place capability. The data never knows it wasn't accessed the old fashion way - by hunting it down. This becomes even more useful when legacy or merger/acquisition storage is involved. And, all processing is completely auditable, keeping administrators fully in the loop.
In addition, Simflofy's tools may be the only (and certainly easiest) method to migrate data from many sources to wherever it needs to be moved. They have built-in the ability to mass extract any, or all, types of data from any, or all, locations to any new location, with a current speed of about 3,000 documents per second. "At one time or another, most of our clients will use the migration mechanism that performs automated discovery of all data types, metadata transfer, conversion of one key system to another, image conversion, and anything else that would need to be done," noted Mark Lugert.
Simflofy's partners include Alfresco, MongoDB, Amazon Web Service (AWS), Box, SAP, along with over 20 popular data management companies currently.
About Simflofy
Simflofy, Inc. ("Simflofy") offers an innovative content connectivity solutions platform to get transparent access to content regardless of where it exists, on-premise or in the cloud. Simflofy platform capabilities include Discovery, Federation, Migration, and Manage In-Place, and it works with any of today's most popular content platforms and solutions to unlock siloed content while maintaining security. Simflofy is used by more than 100 industry-leading organizations, including Department of Defense, Department of State, Liberty Mutual, LifeWay, NYC Municipal Public Employee Retirement System, McKesson, McDermott, Robert Half, Symetra, National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the National Health System (NHS) in the UK. Founded in 2012, Simflofy has its headquarters in Marietta, Georgia, USA. For more information about Simflofy, please visit http://www.simflofy.com.

Quick Base, the low-code platform for continuous process innovation at enterprise scale, today announced a comprehensive program to provide critical support to companies as they manage through business disruption, including free access to organizations on the front lines of the COVID-19 crisis, such as healthcare providers, governments, educational institutions and nonprofits.

Free access to create and use COVID-19 solutions through September 30th

Templates for the most common emergency response applications

Expert onboarding, support, community resources and additional tools for customers

"In the face of the unimaginable challenges presented by the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19), we've been inspired by our customers, who are driving innovation with Quick Base to flatten the infection curve and keep businesses and communities moving," said Rick Willett, Quick Base CEO. "With this program, our efforts are designed not only to help our existing customers in a time of crisis, but to also share ideas, practices and applications that any organization can use to respond to the threat and to continue to do what they do best under any conditions."
Free access for organizations on the front lines
In recognition of their essential role in mitigating the impact of COVID-19 in our communities around the world, Quick Base will be accessible for free to qualifying organizations on the front lines of the crisis, including healthcare providers, governments, educational institutions and nonprofits.
"We recognize the importance and difficulty of the effort to respond to the impact of COVID-19 on our communities, and we're committed to helping make those efforts successful," Willett said.

Emergency response application templates and community support
Quick Base customers have been actively using the low-code development platform to turn unique emergency response processes into connected software applications, and the company is now sharing the growing number of practices and templates with anyone who wants to do the same.
One example is Orleans Parish Communication District (New Orleans 9-1-1/3-1-1), where a massive spike in residents seeking resources and the need for tracking cases required new, digital processes.
"With many of our city's residents being impacted by the spread of COVID-19, we needed to be able to quickly respond to a high volume of requests and meet the needs of our most vulnerable populations," said Tyrell T. Morris, MBA, CPE, executive director of the Orleans Parish Communication District (New Orleans 9-1-1/3-1-1). "We were able to quickly create a series of applications using Quick Base to manage our changing needs, and to date, we've been able to help thousands of citizens, visitors and business owners with their concerns."
Other examples include a worldwide manufacturer managing new compliance requirements across global factory locations and a delivery services provider tracking COVID-19 cases and assessing business impact.
"Great organizations do great things in times of adversity. It's been thrilling to watch our customers employ fast, creative problem solving to keep critical services up and running at a time when it matters most," said Neil Forbes, vice president of customer success at Quick Base. "Our Quick Base community has always been a source of pride and inspiration for us, but today, it's even more so. We've seen incredible energy within our builder community around one thing: How can we help one another?"
To support fast development of applications, Quick Base has pulled together a series of templates, built both by customers and Quick Base employees, supporting emergency response and business continuity. Included is a comprehensive emergency response application template, with functionality for communication tracking, remote worker asset management, travel restriction oversight, CDC updates and more. More applications are being rolled out daily, accessible on the Quick Base App Exchange.
Expert onboarding, support, community resources and additional tools for customers
While Quick Base has shifted its operations to a remote model, the company continues to deliver its services uninterrupted, including onboarding, 24/7 access to support and on-demand training.

Chilibeli, the leading community-based social commerce platform that connects farmers and suppliers to bring fresh and quality products to every household at affordable prices, has raised 10 million (USD) from round led by Lightspeed Ventures with participation from renowned investors such as Golden Gate Venture, Sequoia Surge, Kinesys Group, and Alto Partners.

JAKARTA, INDONESIA (PRWEB) MARCH 20, 2020
Chilibeli, the leading community-based social commerce platform that connects farmers and manufacturers to bring fresh and quality products to every household at affordable prices, has raised 10 million (USD) from round led by Lightspeed Ventures with participation from renowned investors such as Golden Gate Ventures, Sequoia Surge, Kinesys Group, and Alto Partners.
Launched in July 2019 by co-founders Alex Feng, Damon Yue, and Matt Li, the platform brings about a new era of grocery shopping - with added focus on comfort, convenience, and quality. Chilibeli empowers their agents (mitra), many of whom are housewives, with the opportunity to create value for consumers, promote community bonding, and increase their household income. Since its inception, the company gained 150% month-on-month growth, and also has created 300+ direct jobs and thousands of indirect jobs for Mitra Chilibeli in Indonesia.
Justin Hall, Partner, Golden Gate Ventures, said, "When Alex, Damon, and Matt came to us with the idea of Chilibeli, we were fascinated with the idea of delivering household goods through an engaged, vibrant mitra in a convenient, affordable way. In many ways, the Chilibeli team is tapping on something that other platforms to date haven't been able to successfully leverage: the trusted social circle".
"By building a technology platform that taps into everyday Indonesian's network, they're unlocking new, innovative ways to shop, collaborate, and even earn a living. We're extremely excited to witness the Chilibeli team connecting Indonesia's farmers, suppliers, and customers into one mitra, and we're honoured to join them on this journey," continued Justin.
Alex Feng, CEO of Chilibeli, said, "On behalf of Chilibeli, I would like to thank our investor for believing in our product. The funds are being used to strengthen Jakarta, Tangerang Selatan, and Depok's networks of communities, while also expanding our reach to Bogor and Bekasi. On top of that, we continue to improve the UI and UX of our application, as well as advancing the facility of our Depok's warehouse. The strong backing from renowned investors has been crucial in strengthening and helping scale our future growth and continue to make a meaningful and positive impact to Indonesian society."
"These rounds of funding have officially made Chilibeli a Series-A company merely 7 months after it was established – one of the fastest-growing start-ups in Southeast Asia. The company will continue to listen to feedback, innovate, and add user-friendly features to enhance the overall experiences", continued Alex.
Akshay Bhushan, Partner, Lightspeed Venture Partners, mentioned, "We're excited to partner with the Chilibeli team which is building the next scale commerce platform for Indonesia and the broader Southeast Asia region. The power of the Chilibeli social commerce platform comes from empowering local communities across the emerging middle class in Indonesia through access to affordable & value products while driving livelihoods for various stakeholders in the Chilibeli ecosystem such as farmers, housewives and small businesses in these communities."
"Our conviction in leading the Series A for Chilibeli comes from having invested and helped scale several multi-billion dollar valued social and commerce platforms globally in China, India and the US such as Pinduoduo, Udaan, Snapchat and Sharechat," said Akshay.
Yansen Kamto, Founding Partner, Kinesys Group, added, "Chilibeli's intelligent commerce concept is in line with our mission to invest in human intelligence, which leads to the betterment and improvement of welfare and well-being. We believe in critical thinking, social pursuit, and holistic approach that further manifest as the benchmark for smart and agile solutions. We are excited to be part of Chilibeli's historic rise, and we are a firm believer of its prowess in conquering the vast social commerce landscape in the country."
With the maturing digital consumption, robust growth of e-commerce contribution to the national economy, high-adoption of digital payment, and progressive logistical advancements, social commerce's penetration is still low. As 20% of Indonesian household's expenditure is spent on groceries, there is a huge gap between potentials and this presents an untapped market potential that is meant to thrive.
Indonesian women, especially housewives, being in control of household spending, are seeking opportunities to pursue their aspirations by also finding another source of income to the family. Chilibeli saw this as a social opportunity that benefits housewives by leveraging social networks amongst their communities and neighborhood through the most basic household spendings, and also by making the price of groceries more affordable compared to the price of the market, daily. Thus, solidifying Chilibeli as the pioneer digital platform in social commerce that champions the welfare of Indonesian housewives everywhere.

130 Lithuanian schools have already started using Sanako Connect online services to move their classes online.

TURKU, FINLAND (PRWEB) MARCH 19, 2020
Sanako Connect will transfer an existing language studio as such into an online environment, without the need to change the curriculum. Teachers have found that this software originally designed for language teaching works well for other teaching purposes as well.
Lithuania is a pioneer in this, and now 130 schools have begun teaching with Sanako Connect. A large number of schools in addition to these forerunners will soon introduce the tool.
"We are now urgently looking for tools to provide distance education. In two weeks at the latest, all teaching will move online. It is important to us that there is no need to install any applications and it is easy to set up the virtual classroom. The application is good when sharing materials and assignments and giving feedback is in the same tool as the audio functions," says teacher Vaidotas Vilkas from the Kintai School in Lithuania.
Sanako CEO Juho Isola says: "I am very pleased that we can help teachers in a difficult situation, and, I admire the teachers' inventiveness that our language teaching tool is used in all teaching."
Pekka Sivonen, the Executive Director of Digital Transformation from Business Finland says: "This is a great example of how fastly an innovative and open-minded community can react to sudden changes. Lithuanian teachers are leaders in adapting to the situation at hand by using Finnish education technology."
Due to the widespread closure of schools, Sanako is providing software for free during this spring semester in all countries where distance education can be implemented. Sanako Connect is available as an online service immediately without any installation.
Sanako is headquartered in Finland and the company delivers language studio technology, content and software to 114 countries. Sanako has 40,000 schools and universities as customers, including Sandy Creek High School and the University of South Carolina in the United States, the University of Nottingham in the UK and the Language Center at the University of Helsinki in Finland for example.

ISV Selects Cameyo Over Microsoft Remote Desktop and Amazon AppStream 2.0

CARY, N.C. (PRWEB) MARCH 19, 2020
Cameyo today announced that Vantea SMART, a leading Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) provider in Northern Europe, has selected Cameyo's virtual application delivery platform to web-enable its ERP solutions. To read the full case study, click here.
Traditionally, the Vantea SMART solutions had been client-based applications that needed to be installed and managed on the customer's devices. Vantea knew it needed to provide web-based access to its solutions, but the time, cost, and complexity of redeveloping the applications for the web were daunting.
"Redeveloping our solutions for the web would have taken at least one year and would have cost a minimum of $250,000 - and probably much more," said Leonardo Nuzzo, Team Leader, Research & Development at Vantea SMART. "At the end of the day, we needed a simpler and more cost-effective way to deliver the desktop experience that our customers are used to, through the browser instead of an installed app."
The Competition
Prior to selecting Cameyo, the Vantea SMART team tried both Windows remote Desktop and Amazon AppStream 2.0. Both solutions had significant challenges in terms of scale, management complexity, and cost.
"We first tried Windows Remote Desktop, but we could only enable one person per customer to access our solutions with Remote Desktop," said Nuzzo. "And on top of that, the complexity of setup and management was just way too much."
After testing of Windows Remote Desktop proved it wasn't a viable long-term solution, Vantea tried Amazon AppStream 2.0 next.
"Amazon AppStream was even more costly and complex," said Nuzzo. "AppStream was very complicated to use, and even more complex to manage all the servers for all of the different customers we were servicing. It just wasn't an option for us to deliver and maintain our solutions for our customers that way."
The Cameyo Difference
When the Vantea SMART developers came across Cameyo's virtual application delivery platform, they quickly realized it could provide a significantly better user experience while dramatically reducing the time and cost involved in deployment.
"Even with the best-case scenario of our application redevelopment taking one year and $250,000 in cost, that's still a lot of time and money," said Nuzzo. "With Cameyo, our full implementation took less than a week. And now our customers have access to the full desktop versions of our solutions on any device, from the browser - with absolutely no software redevelopment required."
And since Vantea SMART is an independent software vendor (ISV) who frequently updates its solutions with new features and functionality, Cameyo also simplifies ongoing updates to Vantea's customers.
"Prior to Cameyo our customers would have to update the software on every user's device whenever we released new versions," said Nuzzo. "Now we can update the software once on Cameyo and push the new functionality to all users instantly."
ISVs that want to see if Cameyo is right for them can get started in minutes with a free trial.
About Cameyo
Cameyo is a cloud-native virtual application delivery platform that enables the secure delivery of Windows desktop applications to any device from any browser. As organizations pursue Digital Transformation, they hit a common roadblock during their shift to the cloud - the inability to deliver their legacy Windows applications from the cloud. Cameyo solves this issue by providing everyone with seamless access to their Windows apps on any device, from any HTML5 browser. Hundreds of enterprises and organizations utilize Cameyo's virtual application delivery platform to deliver Windows applications to tens of thousands of users worldwide.
