Results from primary, survey-based research on current endpoint utilization and workspace requirements to be revealed.

Boulder, Colo. (PRWEB) January 11, 2017

Enterprise Management Associates (EMA), a leading IT and data management research and consulting firm, today announced it will host a research webinar titled “Orchestrating Digital Workspaces in a Multi-Device World,” featuring Steve Brasen, managing research director of enterprise mobile and endpoint management at EMA.

Business professionals increasingly employ multiple devices (including desktops, laptops, tablets and smartphones) to access a broad range of applications, data and IT services distributed across business servers, private clouds, public clouds and hybrid environments. These complex resource delivery ecosystems can actually reduce user effectiveness by creating inconsistent and unreliable work experiences. Digital workspace solutions offer the promise of establishing a consistent user experience across devices by abstracting a layer of resources that are commonly accessible on multiple devices. However, most enterprise IT support organizations are unprepared to transition from traditional distributed desktop environments to consolidated digital workspaces that will most effectively deliver, manage and secure the business resource that empower workforce productivity.

During this webinar, Brasen will explain how to adopt digital workspace solutions that create consistent user experiences by leveraging self-service capabilities, automation and integration. He will also provide a pragmatic guide to on-boarding a digital workspace solution.

Key topics for discussion include:

• How digital workspaces differ from other types of desktop environments
• When, where and on what devices work tasks are typically performed
• The primary challenges encountered with utilizing traditional desktop environments
• What types of applications are most commonly employed by business users
• What are the most effective methods for provisioning app, data and services to user devices
• Reducing the impact of security practices on user productivity
• How to created consistent user experiences in multi-device environments
• What is the optimal digital workspace approach for enhancing workforce performance

The webinar is Thursday, January 19 at 2:00 p.m. Eastern. Those who wish to attend can register at: http://research.enterprisemanagement.com/digital-workspace-2017-webinar-pr.html

Louisiana's Caddo Parish School District achieved record-breaking results by using MobyMax.

(PRWEB) January 11, 2017

Louisiana's Caddo Parish School District achieved record-breaking results in the 2015-2016 school year by using MobyMax to streamline its RTI (Response to Intervention) Plans. MobyMax is the innovator of a unique personalized and blended learning curriculum for K-8 students. The curriculum and streamlined RTI plan enabled 12,300 students in 61 schools to complete 278,115 standards, a record for the school district.

The MobyMax curriculum, which works for struggling learners as well as high achievers, incorporates the three essential components the National Center for Learning Disabilities says an effective RTI plan must have: tiered instruction and intervention, ongoing student assessment, and family involvement.

Tiered instruction and intervention give teachers the tools and flexibility they need to isolate the skills and standards individual students must master. The MobyMax diagnostic suite helps teachers overcome one of their biggest challenges: identifying student learning gaps and assigning appropriate lessons to fill those gaps. Instant feedback and real-time monitoring also help keep students on track. Plus, parents and other caregivers can log in from home to stay involved in their child’s learning.

MobyMax has also proven to be effective at helping schools that have an A rating continue to excel. “Since our district implemented MobyMax,” says Principal Robin DeBusk of Caddo Middle Magnet, “we have seen an increase in our School Performance Score each year, which is not easy to accomplish.”

“MobyMax is an excellent choice if you wish to help your struggling learners, yet still provide enrichment for your higher-achieving students,” said Temeka Hardman-Seamster, one of the RTI Coaches in Caddo Parish. It allows teachers “the flexibility to meet the needs of all learners.”

The school district also appreciates that it achieved such significant results at a substantial cost savings, primarily because MobyMax offers so many tools in one package. “By working with MobyMax, we achieved a huge, exponential reduction in cost for our district,” reported Erin Redden, Director of Accountability and Instructional Support with Caddo Parish Public Schools.

Redden says she would recommend MobyMax to any school district in need of an affordable, adaptable, versatile, and proven online system to meet a broad spectrum of K-8 educational challenges.

Journalists David Brancaccio and Dan Gorenstein report apps “can be the difference between another hospitalization and tweaking meds.”

New York, NY (PRWEB) January 11, 2017

Responsive Health, a spinoff from the Mount Sinai Health System, announced today that its flagship product Prescription Universe was featured on American Public Media's Marketplace Morning Report broadcast nationally on NPR's Morning Edition. Prescription Universe is the first enterprise platform for prescribing digital medicine.

“We were so thrilled when Dan Gorenstein asked to speak about Prescription Universe,“ said Ashish Atreja, MD, MPH, Chief Technology Innovation and Engagement Officer and Director of the Sinai AppLab, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, “It has been a many years journey to build Prescription Universe. To see care teams using it, and have major news talk about its value, makes us so proud.”

The Marketplace Morning Report focuses on the value of healthcare apps, pointing out that “apps can make a difference.” It provides an emotional example of one patient’s decade-long struggle with Crohn's Disease and how keeping tabs on her symptoms using an app helps avoid additional hospitalizations. The report goes on to say “physicians at 2/3 of the nation’s largest hospitals now want to prescribe apps” and discusses the difficulties patients have in finding the right app among the 265,000 healthcare apps available for smartphones and tablets.

The goal of Prescription Universe is to allow doctors to get the right healthcare apps into the hands of patients at the right time. “The bar for entry on Prescription Universe is so high, very few apps make it. FDA approval, clinical trials, security, HIPPA compliance are just some of the criteria.” says Ed Berde, CTO and Co-Founder of Responsive Health. “We know digital medicine can improve health. Unfortunately we have to overlook many great apps because they just can’t provide the evidence.”

Founded in 2016 as a startup from the Mount Sinai Health System, the largest health system in New York City and a driving force in the rapid technological innovations in healthcare, Responsive Health is dedicated to enabling the digital revolution in health.

Easily integrate digital coupons with grocery point of sale.

Laval, QC (PRWEB) January 11, 2017

Fareway Stores, Inc., a leading full-service grocery chain with locations in the Midwest, has rolled out an innovative digital coupon system to its 117 stores. This new program, powered by Invisipon and LOC Software, allows consumers to create an online profile by product type for coupons they wish to receive.

Manufacturer coupons for these product types are then deposited into the consumers’ digital accounts. When consumers shop any of the Fareway Stores locations, they simply present their phone containing a digital customer card at checkout, and digital coupons instantly apply to the transaction. No clipping, no searching, no printing required. Best of all, Fareway provides in-store offers that seamlessly combine with manufacturer coupons. The “combo offers” provide industry-leading savings on all sorts of products.

“Customers love the savings, and they keep coming back for more,” says Scott Beckwith, Chief Administrative Officer of Fareway Stores. “The program is easy for our customers to download and use, plus it integrates directly into our LOC Software SMS POS system. Cashiers scan the digital card and both manufacturer and store offers are instantly applied.”

Beckwith also states the Fareway Stores team is just scratching the surface of all the technology has to offer. “Invisipon’s integration with LOC Software is enabling us to market products in ways we had not imagined,” he adds.

The news is likely to get even better for Fareway customers as more manufacturers move their offers to the Invisipon platform. For additional information, and to join Fareway’s program, please visit https://www.fareway.com/promotions/invisipon

Burbio® solves communication challenges by connecting residents with school and community events that update in real time

Pelham, NY (PRWEB) January 11, 2017

Burbio.com, a calendar platform that has expanded to over 140 communities across New York, Connecticut, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Massachusetts today announced the launch of an iOS App available in the App store. Burbio.com allows residents to create a personalized hyperlocal calendar feed, sync with their personal calendar and receive update notifications in real time.

“Burbio solves local communication problems by automating the highly-manual process of keeping track of school and community events to make it simple and easy,” said Julie Roche, Burbio co-founder. “Burbio brings all of this into the digital age by delivering this public information to users in a personalized way."

Burbio.com compiles comprehensive local event information through automation and calendar publishing tools. Through location-based discovery, users create a personalized calendar feed from local events in a few easy clicks, sync with their personal digital calendars and are notified when those events change.

Roche, a mother of four and resident of Pelham, NY, conceived of Burbio.com after being exasperated by the antiquated way in which she learned about things going on locally – like driving by a sign posted at town hall. “It seemed contradictory that it was easier to book an international flight than it was to find out if a school event changed,” said Roche. “It’s great to be able to apply technology to make things easier for everyone.”

Over 10,000 school, community, library and government calendars currently live stream through Burbio.com. Group organizers can also post their own calendars, while users share events and content from the service on social media.    In addition to personalized iOS and web applications, data from Burbio has been adopted by over 40 governments and libraries to create digital “community calendars” that aggregate the most important events in a town.

“Burbio’s live streaming and personalization make your calendar smarter," added Roche. “Everything moves so much more quickly today and our calendars need to as well.”

"This award will help IsoPlexis commercialize our single-cell response profiling technologies, through work with our collaborators, and provide an important new solution for developing sensitive biomarkers associated with clinical progression and outcome."

IsoPlexis works with pharmaceutical companies and academic labs to test the efficacy and safety of new therapies in various areas of immunology, oncology, and other emerging disease areas.

"We look forward to developing a better understanding of the cellular cytokine and chemokine responses within the nervous system, like those from T-cells and innate immune cells, as they play an important role in neuro-inflammation and disease progression," said Tim McConnell, Director of Innovations and Operations at IsoPlexis, and the primary investigator of the project.

IsoPlexis’ single-cell barcode platform (SCBCTM) improves upon existing solutions by providing highly-multiplexed, functional, secreted protein readouts, at single-cell resolution, to advance detection of important drivers of immune system activity.

VTI, Vertebral Technologies, Inc., announces the successful outcome of the first lumbar fusion procedure in Mexico using the InterFuse® laterally expandable device.

(PRWEB) January 12, 2017

MEXICO’S FIRST SPINAL IMPLANT USING VTI’S INTERFUSE® IS A SUCCESS

VTI, Vertebral Technologies, Inc., announces the successful outcome of the first lumbar fusion procedure in Mexico using the InterFuse® laterally expandable device. Since September 2016, VTI (Vertebral Technologies, Inc.) has partnered with Mexico-based medical product company BioMedical Technologies to bring less-invasive surgical solutions to surgeons and their patients throughout Mexico.

Neurosurgeon Dr. José Antonio Pedrero Gil at the Hospital AIR in Villahermosa, Tabasco region in northern Mexico performed the first InterFuse® procedure on a 38-year old female patient with Grade 2 spondylolisthesis. At three months, the patient is completely pain free and is walking normally.

The InterFuse® spinal implant finally allows surgeons like Dr. Pedrero to implant a large footprint device through a minimally-invasive posterior to tranforaminal with an angled approach of 0° - 35°. The modularity of the implant allows it to be anatomically customized to the patient’s disc space. Dr. Pedrero stated “the InterFuse® device appeals to me because it was easy to use and the large footprint ensures fusion and also eliminates the risk of retropulsion.”

Dr. Pedrero likes to use the InterFuse® device in younger, active patients with acute disc herniation as well as in patients suffering from spondylolisthesis. segmental instability and spinal stenosis. The partnership between Biomedical Technologies and VTI was formally announced at the September AMCICO Spine Congress in Mexico City, organized by AMCICO (Asociacion Mexicana de Cirujanos de Columna / Spine Surgeons Association of Mexico).

VTI Vice President of International Sales, Ben Wasscher stated “Surgeons in over twenty countries around the world have recognized the benefits that the InterFuse modular cage can bring to their patients. The large footprint is especially effective for patients with poorer bone quality in preventing subsidence. It is great that InterFuse is now also available in Mexico.”

Attendees will discover how to avoid the common mistakes and reduce risk in the transformation to cloud

Boulder, Colol. (PRWEB) January 12, 2017

Enterprise Management Associates (EMA), a leading IT and data management research and consulting firm, today announced it will host a webinar titled “How Analytics Optimize Migration to Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure and Other Public Clouds” featuring Torsten Volk, managing research director of hybrid cloud, software-defined infrastructure and machine learning at EMA, and Andrew Hillier, CTO at CiRBA.

The question of whether to transition enterprise applications to the cloud is a valid question in most organizations. Determining which applications should go and how to maintain control once they are there, however, is slowing down the journey to the cloud.

The sheer complexity of assessing fitness for the cloud and the right hosting model options, all while maintaining security, scalability and performance, creates anxiety and uncertainty around decisions. In addition, costs for public cloud use are spiraling out of control. Research from EMA shows an average of 50% in over-provisioned cloud and data center infrastructure. Moreover, it is not uncommon for applications to exceed their monthly Amazon or Microsoft cost estimates by more than 100%.

During this webinar, Volk and Hillier will discuss how to:

• Assess how much of an organization’s infrastructure should go to the cloud and identify which enterprise apps are suitable
• Avoid the common mistakes and reduce risk in the transformation to cloud
• Determine which provider and hosting model is best for an organization’s workload
• Benefit from the different cost structures of Amazon, Azure, Softlayer, VMware and other clouds
• Lower infrastructure, licensing and operations cost by up to 50%
• Balance CAPEX and OPEX when making cloud deployment decisions

The webinar is Tuesday, January 24, 2017 at 1:00 p.m. Eastern. Those who wish to attend can register at: http://research.enterprisemanagement.com/how-analytics-optimize-migration-to-public-clouds-webinar-pr.html

Parascript today introduced the first commercially available data location, extraction and verification software solution that deploys template-less, neural network-based document extraction.

Longmont, Colorado (PRWEB) January 12, 2017

Parascript, the pioneer in data extraction powered by machine learning, today introduced the first commercially available data location, extraction and verification software solution that deploys template-less, neural network-based document extraction. Parascript has productized its machine learning platform to support custom-developed recognition projects with much quicker turnaround than traditional rules-based approaches. The result is significantly faster production with more reliable and refined results for Parascript clients.

“Machine learning offers a whole new set of opportunities for organizations across many industries to more precisely streamline their operations and deliver rapid, accurate data to their clients,” said Greg Council, Vice President of Marketing and Product Management. “Parascript is pushing the frontiers of capture and recognition automation with this latest software release.”

Historically, processing any type of document—from invoices, receipts, checks, loan applications to medical claims—has been time consuming and prone-to-error. Traditional recognition and capture solutions often successfully use business rules to process information. These rules place parameters around how information should be entered, increasing the accuracy of data recognized by software and reducing the amount of manual data entry that has been required. Unfortunately, rules are only valid when they are comprehensive, and these rules can only be comprehensive when the document types and their variability are well understood.

“Rules are brittle to change, that’s why implementing machine learning allows for so much more accurate results over time because it gracefully handles a dynamic environment without manually creating a whole new set of rules every time you have a new document type or image added to the system,” said Council.

Even the best-run organizations struggle to maintain and improve data quality. Variations in documents and their data constantly occur. Using truth data or the set of data on sample forms that represents what the actual recognition answer should be provides the software with the knowledge of what the right results should look like so that it can automatically develop new rules. Armed simply with truth data and a sample document set, Parascript can easily implement client-specific changes and performance improvements and send them the new, trained neural net.

“With our in-house advanced machine learning platform integrated into this new release, Parascript helps clients ensure that the output of their data extraction and entry operations is as accurate as possible. We’ve significantly reduced the chance of sending erroneous data downstream to other business processes and applications,” said Mark Gallagher, Vice President of Sales at Parascript.

Immunolight LLC, a biomedical firm leading the way in technologies that transform energy sources such as low dose X-ray and convert them into energy that is capable of activating a natural compound called psoralen when exposed to UV light, has been named Crain’s Detroit Business News most innovative company for 2016.

Durham, North Carolina (PRWEB) January 12, 2017

Each year, Crain’s Detroit Business News ranks the most innovative companies through a survey called the Eureka Index – a process that evaluates the patent estate of a company, its impact and significance, and the likelihood of bringing it to market.

Immunolight LLC, a biomedical firm leading the way in technologies that transform energy sources such as low dose X-ray and convert them into energy that is capable of activating a natural compound called psoralen when exposed to UV light, has been named Crain’s Detroit Business News most innovative company for 2016.

Immunolight founder and CEO Rick Bourke has spent the last thirty years dedicated to scientific and medical research. During that time he has developed and supported several medical projects with success in treating cancer and other diseases. Through his research, he conceived the idea of using UV light, generated by energy conversion within the body, along with psoralen to induce an immune response against cancer from inside the tumor.

Psoralen, which is a naturally-occurring compound found in things like celery, figs and citrus fruits, has been aiding in the treatment of autoimmune disease, skin disorders and some forms of cancer for decades, but has not been used in treating solid tumors due to the fact that UV light cannot penetrate tissue.

Through a partnership with Duke University and a team of over thirty scientists, physicians and engineers, led by President Harold Walder, Immunolight is advancing the platform technology by innovating tiny particles that absorb energies that can penetrate tissue and converting them into ultraviolet light inside a tumor to activate psoralen, a known anti-cancer drug.

"Our highest priority is to translate this amazing science into an actual cancer treatment in patients," Walder said. "I think we are quite close."

Immunolight technology has the potential to create a dramatic shift in the treatment of cancer. It wasn’t that long ago that the treatments were limited to three options that included chemotherapy, radiation and surgery. Although improvements have been made in all three areas, cancer remains one of the most grueling diseases that afflict us today in ways that influence us emotionally, physically and financially.

“We have enjoyed a highly productive collaboration with the scientists at Duke and are encouraged by the effects we have seen in cells and in preliminary animal studies. We look forward to moving the technology ahead into patients as a promising new approach to treating solid tumors,” said founder and CEO Rick Bourke.

When can we expect to see Immunolight’s technology trials begin on people? According to Walder, “discussions have begun with the FDA about the requirements to initiate the first human clinical trial.”

“We are honored to be chosen as the most innovative company by Crain’s Detroit Business News,” Walder said, “It is our hope that we can provide an alternative treatment in the fight against cancer with a non-invasive, immune-based treatment that doesn’t involve the cytotoxic agents used in chemotherapy.”

Mountain View, California (PRWEB) January 12, 2017

Of course, if a student isn't ready for essay prime time, they can start by working on each piece of the puzzle separately: with Shmoop's thesis statement builder and paragraph builder, they'll have a full essay in no time.

"I use Shmoop [...] Essay Lab to try to habituate students to process writing (and so they will see the same tips I always give them coming from somebody else)," says Amy Thoman, a teacher in Palm Beach County.

TurboAntenna significantly enhances the performance of hands-free RFID, delivering not only sales lift, but extending the benefits to include better customer service, more competitive omni-channel execution and streamlined in-store operations.

Mojix is also announcing the availability of its new Retail Task Management App. This exciting new tool helps retailers increase sales by using RFID data to trigger and streamline tasks such as replenishment. Available to users of Mojix’s OmniSenseRF Inventory Service, the Task Management App runs on iOS or Android devices carried by employees, notifying them when action is needed and providing an elegant and simple interface to prioritize high-value items and streamline execution. The App supports multiple scenarios, including basic replenishment and “hot replenishment,” when some SKUs are out-of-stock and a new shipment arrives. The App syncs with the Mojix ViZix IoT Software Platform that managers can use to get up-to-the-minute status on inventory and replenishment performance at the SKU, department or store level.

Partnering with Microsoft Corporation in booth #2803, Mojix will be highlighting technology solutions to enable blockchain-powered smart contracts - driving the next wave of innovation across supply chains.
