Partnering with WARC, MMA Launches Business Impact Index – and Business Impact Award -- to Identify, Rank and Award Agencies and Brands That Deliver the Highest Level of Campaign Impact; North America Smarties Launch, Plus New Awards for VR/AV and 360-Degree Video

New York (PRWEB) June 29, 2017

The Mobile Marketing Association (MMA), the leading global trade association for the mobile marketing industry, announced the introduction of the Smarties Business Impact Index, a new measure for identifying, ranking and awarding brands, agencies and technology companies which deliver the highest level of business impact. The new index is being created in partnership with WARC, which provides advertising best practice, evidence and insights from the world's leading brands.

Each year, just after the Global Smarties Awards, the MMA will publish a “Top 5” ranking of mobile marketing companies – including an individual ranking each of agencies and brands – that are achieving the biggest business impact. The top ranked company in each category will receive the brand new Smarties Index Business Impact Award. The award will be the ultimate achievement in mobile marketing, as it is an honor derived from aggregating the business impact of all the Smarties-winning campaigns from around the world. Last year, the MMA received more than 2,000 submissions from more than 30 countries.

The 2017 Smarties programs around the world will adjust the current weighting of the judging criteria, making business impact the most weighted element in determining which campaigns win Smarties either globally, regionally or country-specific. Business impact will now be 40 percent of each entrant’s overall score, with creative, strategy and execution each consisting of 20 percent. Formerly, effectiveness made up the last quarter of the final tally, but business impact further extends the requirements. Effectiveness addressed solely the ROI of campaign performance while business impact goes beyond ROI of an individual campaign and will be indexed against overall impact of aggregated work for a company. This makes the Smarties the first global program to award campaigns on business impact.

“We know, based on surveys we have conducted, that brands’ priorities are squarely focused on business growth, customized engagement with their consumers and innovation – all three of which are being powered by mobile," explains Sheryl Daija, Chief Strategy Officer, MMA. "It is critical that marketers and their agencies understand the true impact campaigns, both on an individual basis as well as their cumulative efforts have on creating real business impact against marketing objectives. The Business Impact Index is a game changer for the Smarties and the marketing industry, as it forces focus on what ultimately matters, the transformational and direct impact mobile has on overall business.”

The MMA has also expanded Smarties Award categories this year to honor achievements in Virtual Reality/Augmented Reality and 360-degree Video. Due to the exploratory nature of these newer categories as well as innovation and Internet of Things, the weighting of business impact will be adjusted downwards. The goal here is to encourage any form of innovation or forward thinking in these emerging technologies.

Also added is North America as its own region, joining already-existing Smarties regional competitions in LATAM, APAC and EMEA. Marketers looking to submit entries can learn more on the MMA Smarties site or contact Barbara Parker via email at barbara.parker(at)mmaglobal.com. The entry deadline has been extended to July 7, 2017.

Marketing campaigns that ran from January 2016 to June 2017 are eligible for entry to the Global Smarties Awards. Regional campaigns for North America, Europe, Asia and Latin America must have run from January to December 2016 to be eligible for award submissions.

Solution Provides Faster and More Efficient Cloud-to-Cloud Backup and Recovery for Office 365, Ensuring Business Continuity Amidst the Rise of Cyber Attacks

Boston, MA (PRWEB) June 29, 2017

Backupify, the leading provider of cloud-to-cloud backup and recovery for software-as-a-service (SaaS) applications, today announced the next generation of backup solutions for Office 365. The Backupify 2.0 release provides the most comprehensive protection for Office 365 and enables IT managers to ensure more effective business continuity across the enterprise.

Backupify 2.0 delivers customers rich, market leading features including true point-in-time backup for OneDrive, Exchange and SharePoint and enterprise wide discovery search across all protected users. Backupify 2.0 runs on an all-new architecture, enabling lightning fast performance regardless of the size of the environments being protected.

Point-in-time backups create a complete snapshot of users’ applications at a designated time, giving businesses the ability to effectively save incremental changes made to their critical data throughout their organization. Backupify’s point-in-time backup for OneDrive allows IT managers to combat ransomware attacks by restoring their SaaS data to any period before an attack occurred. With three automated daily snapshots of a customer’s entire Office 365 environment - and the ability to take more on demand - admins now have the ability to browse through specific dates and times of their application backups to export or restore data. This new functionality can restore or export individual files or an entire application data set, depending on the scenario. In addition, the product offers unlimited data storage at no additional cost.

“Whether an employee accidentally deletes a file, a user's account is deprovisioned, or a company is attacked by ransomware and loses everything, the result is lost productivity and lost revenue,” said Matt Richards, VP of Product Marketing, Datto. “If you’re using O365 today, you need backup. We recover the SaaS data a business needs, fast. If you experience data loss, Backupify allows you to roll back files or applications to a specific point in time - like Monday, January 10th at 8AM - before the loss occurred.”

Backupify also made dramatic improvements to the product’s search function to ensure faster recovery times and provide users with greater visibility into their backups. The product now supports advanced discovery search including service level, all user, and multi-user search across all point-in-time backups. This gives domain admins greater visibility into their backups and empowers them with the tools to get users back to work with the data they need, fast.

“We’ve spent a decade evolving backup and disaster recovery, and our technology now protects 321 PB of customer data. Applying this technology to cloud backup moves the entire industry forward,” says Datto’s Director of Product Management Dan Flanigan. “We can rapidly take incremental backups from a SaaS service, construct a point-in-time snapshot in the customer’s history, and store it efficiently for as long as the customer remains a customer. Discovery search, export and restore are lightning fast, and all made possible by leveraging proprietary Inverse Chain Technology.”

Backupify is also previewing an on-premise backup solution leveraging the new node based architecture that it hopes to release later this year. Taking advantage of the latest Intel® Xeon® Scalable Family Processors and Intel® Optane® Solid State Drives, Backupify’s upcoming product line will offer increased scalability at a fraction of the cost while allowing for smarter, more secure data storage and backup.

About Backupify

Backupify, a Datto company, is the leader in cloud-to-cloud backup, enabling enterprises to extend data protection and accessibility best practices to the cloud. Backupify gives IT professionals the security and control they need against data loss from user errors, external threats, and service failures.

QA Mentor, the software quality assurance expert and global provider of software testing services and GenRocket, the technology leader in test data generation software solutions today announced a global reseller partnership to offer GenRocket software as an in-house solution for customers and a platform for delivering advanced test data management services.

New York, NY (PRWEB) June 29, 2017

QA Mentor, the software quality assurance expert and global provider of software testing services and GenRocket, the technology leader in test data generation software solutions today announced a global reseller partnership to offer GenRocket software as an in-house solution for customers and a platform for delivering advanced test data management services.

GenRocket solves the problem of creating test data that fully exercises code during all phases of a comprehensive quality assurance (QA) testing process. GenRocket eliminates the need to prune and mask production data or to manually create dummy test data by generating real-time, on-demand, model-based synthetic test data at high speed and at low cost.

GenRocket is an alternative to the use of expensive test data management systems often used for the creation, management and protection of data used during the QA testing process. Instead, GenRocket provides a streamlined, cost-effect and flexible platform that instantly generates test data for virtually any kind of software test operation or database environment. GenRocket positions its dynamic Test Data Generation (TDG) approach as the next generation of Test Data Management (TDM).

With GenRocket’s TDG technology, software testers quickly create and execute comprehensive test scenarios with patterned and conditioned synthetic test data based on pre-defined data models that preserve the referential integrity of parent child relationships in the production database. GenRocket’s TDG technology accelerates the testing process by more than 1000% for about 10% of the cost of traditional TDM solutions.

“The GenRocket platform is revolutionary – it replaces manual test data generation with a fully automated process that turns dummy data into intelligent data. And because there is no other test data management solution on the market matching its level of price/performance, we can offer GenRocket to any customer regardless of project size.” said Ruslan Desyatnikov, CEO, President and Founder of QA Mentor. “Nothing is more important to software quality than starting with clean, comprehensive and compliant test data.”

QA Mentor has a global presence with operations across the United States, UK, France,

Israel, Russia, Ukraine, Romania, and India. The company offers 30 distinct quality assurance testing services – more than any other independent software testing company in the world, providing a one-stop shop for QA and serves a broad spectrum of customer segments including financial services, healthcare, media, entertainment, and web-based environments for ecommerce, eLearning and gaming.

“The selection of GenRocket by an industry leader such as QA Mentor is a major validation of our vision for test data generation and the platform we have developed”, commented Garth Rose President and CEO of GenRocket, “We are fully committed to their mission of establishing cost-effective frameworks for software quality assurance that facilitate customer success.”

The GenRocket solution is available from QA Mentor now either as a supported software platform that customers can deploy in-house or as a test data management service provided by quality assurance experts from QA Mentor. For more information visit the QA Mentor website.

The first cadre of APS-Certified CAE instructor pilots are delivering APS’ Upset Prevention and Recovery Training (UPRT) program in Dothan, Alabama as part of the U.S. Army Fixed-Wing Flight Training program. Effectively delivered UPRT comprehensively reduces the risk of Loss of Control In-flight, aviation’s leading cause of fatalities worldwide.

Dothan, Alabama (PRWEB) June 29, 2017

Aviation Performance Solutions LLC (APS) announced today that the first group of CAE instructors have graduated training and are actively delivering APS Upset Prevention and Recovery Training (UPRT) as part of the U.S. Army Fixed-Wing Flight Training program in Dothan, Alabama. CAE’s inclusion of APS’ UPRT program for Army fixed-wing training will serve to comprehensively reduce the risk of Loss of Control In-flight (LOC-I), the primary cause of aircraft fatalities worldwide. This LOC-I training solution is accomplished through a proven program which prepares Army pilots to better recognize, prevent, or if needed, recover from an unintended airplane upset.

APS’ UPRT program is part of the thorough, expertly integrated U.S. Army Fixed-Wing Flight Training program that includes academic, simulator and live-flying training. CAE instructors who graduate the APS’ UPRT Train-the-Trainer program will conduct upset training at CAE’s new Dothan Training Center located at the Dothan Regional Airport in Alabama.

The APS-CAE UPRT program features real world on-aircraft training in the Grob G120TP turboprop fully-aerobatic training aircraft and simulator-based UPRT in four CAE 7000XR Series C-12 King Air FFSs. The CAE C-12 full flight simulators integrate all-new UPRT Instructor Operating Station (IOS) enhancements--powerful instructor technology jointly developed by CAE and APS to comprehensively analyze airplane upset events in real time.

“Developing the flight skills and instructional capabilities necessary to become an APS-certified UPRT instructor are some of the most challenging and demanding experiences an instructor pilot will face in their career,” said Paul BJ Ransbury, the president of Aviation Performance Solutions. “The CAE team in Dothan is meeting the challenge having graduated, and continuing to graduate, APS-certified UPRT instructors week after week.”

APS has based two senior APS UPRT instructors at CAE’s Dothan Training Center, where they are training a portion of CAE’s cadre of instructor pilots to deliver UPRT on Grob G120TP aircraft and C-12 simulators. Loss of Control In-flight is the number one fatal risk factor that pilots will face in their aviation career.

“As a leading global provider of advanced flight training, CAE is committed to the professional development of our instructor pilots,” said Ray Duquette, President and General Manager, CAE USA. “Upset Prevention and Recovery Training is a critical part of pilot training and our partnership with APS is contributing to us delivering a world-class UPRT program as part of Army Fixed-Wing Flight Training.”

ABOUT AVIATION PERFORMANCE SOLUTIONS

Aviation Performance Solutions LLC (APS), headquartered at the Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport in Mesa, Arizona, trains thousands of professional pilots and instructors in comprehensive Upset Prevention and Recovery Training skill development. APS provides integrated LOC-I solutions via industry-leading computer-based, on-aircraft (jet and piston), and full-flight simulator Upset Prevention & Recovery Training (UPRT).

The firm’s role is part of a five-year, $266 million CSRA contract to consolidate the federal agency’s infrastructure and application platforms.

DAYTON, Ohio (PRWEB) June 29, 2017

Woolpert will supply the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) with geographic information system (GIS), remote sensing data and related consulting services in support of a five-year infrastructure information technology contract with CSRA. CSRA provides NextGen digital business solutions to U.S. government customers.

The EPA will consolidate services that will include data center management, application hosting, application deployment and maintenance, geospatial service support, network security, cybersecurity, cloud computing, Continuity of Operations (COOP) services, Enterprise Identity and Access Management (EIAM) and Active Directory (AD) under one contract, which is valued at $266 million (including all option years).

The infrastructure and application platforms will be reliable, secure and technologically advanced in support of the EPA’s work domestically and throughout the world.

Woolpert—a national architecture, engineering and geospatial (AEG) firm—will perform GIS analysis, generate metadata, develop applications, provide GIS help desk support, and capture or produce high-definition and highly accurate geospatial information for the federal agency. This includes collections pertaining to emergency response, required environmental due diligence and Superfund sites. The EPA’s Superfund program is responsible for cleaning up some of the nation’s most contaminated land and responding to environmental emergencies, oil spills and natural disasters.

Woolpert Vice President and Geospatial Practice Leader Thomas Mackie said multiple parallels can be drawn between this project and the firm’s extensive GIS and remote sensing experience with other federal agencies and projects.

Woolpert has ongoing relationships with the U.S. Geological Survey and its 3D Elevation Program (3DEP) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regarding airspace and airports, and has collected imagery with drones for landslide mitigation, mapped areas of devastation and evacuation in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy and flooding in South Carolina, devised strategies for Smart Cities, and more.

“Working with a geospatial firm, this is an opportunity for these agencies to benefit from the most current and emerging remote sensing technology, data management and visualization,” Mackie said. “We’ll supply onsite analysts and support teams, developers, enterprise data solutions, surveying, mapping and CAD work. We’re excited to work with CSRA and support the EPA and its mission to protect human health and the environment.”

This project is expected to get underway in July.

Chicago, IL (PRWEB) June 29, 2017

Highrise is simple CRM software that allows businesses to track leads, manage follow ups, and close deals without a learning curve.

Today, Highrise is launching a new integration with Microsoft Outlook that lets individuals and groups stay on top of their CRM leads and follow up on them directly in Highrise, yet still track individual communication in Outlook.

Sales reps and team members have every intention of getting back to each lead who emails them, but sometimes the volume can be overwhelming or other tasks get in the way. Highrise's integration with Outlook enables teams to set up a group inbox, so anyone can respond, everyone knows who's said what and when, and nothing gets dropped.

Team members can see when someone else is actively responding and move on to the next item in the queue.

"From their developer tools to their office platforms, we see Microsoft products resurging in the marketplace. Our customers want better integrations with the Microsoft products they use every day. So it made sense to spend our resources making our simple CRM experience at Highrise work seamlessly with our users' Microsoft Outlook accounts. And this is just the start. We have a lot more planned." - Highrise CEO Nathan Kontny

By integrating with Outlook, Highrise enables businesses to do more and stay on top of their leads as a team.

The two reports each identify four new and noteworthy vendors in the AI Chatbots and Digital Transaction Management markets.

Palo Alto, California (PRWEB) June 29, 2017

Aragon Research, a technology focused research and advisory firm committed to providing thought leading strategic research and trusted advisory services, published its Hot Vendor reports in AI Chatbots and Digital Transaction Management (DTM) today. The two reports comprise the start of Part II of the firm's 2017 Hot Vendor series.

The first report, Hot Vendors in AI Chatbots, identifies four vendors who showcase the potential for AI technologies to transform the relationship between an enterprise and its customers. AI Chatbots use natural language processing and machine learning technologies to offer more natural, interactive communication interfaces between humans and machines. The report emphasizes that for many applications, AI Chatbots ultimately define the customer or user experience (CX/UX), so their significance as a proxy for the enterprise itself cannot be overstated.

“The current generation of AI Chatbots leverages significant advances in natural language understanding (NLU) to provide meaningful, personalized responses that reflect the context of the interaction or conversation. Our Hot Vendors in AI Chatbots are making it easier for enterprises to provide more engaging systems for their customers and employees,” said Adrian Bowles, VP Research and Lead Analyst for AI at Aragon Research.

The second report for Part II, Hot Vendors in Digital Transaction Management (DTM), profiles four vendors who are automating paper transactions and helping businesses take the first step toward becoming fully digital. The report goes on to say that because business automation is now being understood at a broader level, automating the entire content life cycle, not just the last step in the process, is where the DTM market is headed.

“The DTM market continues to grow and today, enterprises are looking to fully automate their content processes as a key step in digital transformation. Our Hot Vendors in DTM are just some of the providers who are making an impact in this market,” commented Jim Lundy, CEO of Aragon Research and Lead Analyst for DTM.

Although the Hot Vendor reports provide extensive analysis and insight, they are not intended to be a complete list of vendors in the AI Chatbots and DTM markets. Rather, these reports highlight vendors with interesting, cutting-edge products, services, or technologies. For the full analysis, read Part II of Aragon Research’s Hot Vendors for 2017.

OPSWAT added functionality for grouping devices, setting policies by groups, and synchronizing devices from Active Directory to Metadefender Endpoint Management.

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) June 29, 2017

OPSWAT today announced the release of a significantly enhanced version of Metadefender Endpoint Management (MEM), its cloud access security and enterprise endpoint compliance offering. With this release, enterprise IT administrators can leverage existing Windows Active Directory (AD) groups to simplify device management and administer MEM more efficiently. Key features include the ability to:

• Sort devices into administrator-named groups such as "Sales" or "Marketing"
• Set more granular access and compliance policies for these groups
• Create and customize policies for individual device groups
• Synchronize managed devices from AD

This latest product release from OPSWAT allows administrators to manage devices and set policies by groups, ensuring that device groups with different needs or risk scores have different levels of access rights. This will help IT administrators reduce time spent in device management while also ensuring compliance.

Additionally, IT administrators can now synchronize devices from domain controllers that have Active Directory Domain Services installed and can see which managed devices have the Metadefender Endpoint Management agent installed. Devices that do not have the agent installed are flagged appropriately. IT administrators will be able to ensure compliance for new devices that join or are added to the domain but do not have the Metadefender Endpoint Management agent installed.

Mukul Hinge, Product Manager at OPSWAT, explained: "We're excited to continue our development of MEM as an enterprise-class device compliance solution and to set a new bar in Network Access Control for cloud SaaS applications. We had consistent requests for this feature from both our HIPAA and Sarbanes-Oxley MEM customers, and we're happy to deliver a full-featured implementation that will help our customers maintain compliance while reducing their total cost of ownership."

BrightBytes adds Authentica to brand portfolio, providing educators with end-to-end data management to improve the way the world learns

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) June 29, 2017

BrightBytes,® a learning analytics organization currently impacting one in five schools in the United States, today announced the acquisition of Authentica Solutions™, developer of DataSense™, an education data Integration Platform as a Service (IPaaS). Authentica, a 2017 Microsoft Education Partner of the Year Finalist, currently partners with the top enterprise solutions in edtech to help educators at every organizational level meet data management requirements. It is this deep experience in data integration within the K-12 space and the shared dedication to use data to drive learning that makes the combination of BrightBytes and Authentica an unstoppable force.

As big data informs more and more learning decisions, this groundbreaking acquisition marks a major milestone for the industry. Bringing the two companies together will provide educators with fast, easy, and secure data integration, research-based analysis, and actionable recommendations. Big data has caused an undeniable shift across every industry, but many educators have struggled to participate in the data revolution due to widespread data disarray or extreme DRIP (data rich, information poor) conditions. Collection methods, variables, and captured information differ greatly within data sets and produce disparate results for limited analysis. Authentica’s IPaaS solution, DataSense, solves many of these integration challenges by providing a single, unified approach to managing all data integration, transformation, and migration processes between all of an education organizations’ critical applications, including SIS to APP, APP to APP, and APP to EDW. The solution quickly streamlines quality data flow and removes laborious data collection, rostering, and scrubbing on the user’s end.

The widespread availability of accurate and usable data has the potential to unlock a universe of information for educators. However, without the most insightful lens to understand data, the right research to provide meaning, and the clearest methods to communicate results, data is simply a scatter of numbers. The BrightBytes Clarity® platform, the world’s leading decision support platform for K-12 educators, provides research-based analysis and organizes and delivers data across engaging, easy-to-understand dashboards and reports. To date, BrightBytes has impacted 9.2 million students by helping schools use data analysis to address common education challenges. Across the platform’s core modules, educators can easily gain access to actionable data to evaluate technology efficacy, improve graduation rates, ensure organization-wide data privacy and security, and develop effective leaders. Clarity connects each organization’s data to relevant research proven to drive outcomes.

“Educators have always had a lot of data, the challenge is integrating data from multiple sources, analyzing that data against research, communicating the results in an engaging and educative way, and understanding what specific levers need to be pulled to drive effective change. Bringing these two companies together will, for the first time, give educators an end-to-end solution for data-driven decision making,” said BrightBytes’ Chief Executive Officer, Traci Burgess.

The addition of Authentica to the BrightBytes family will help education leaders cost effectively manage data integration and analysis, improve the quality of data collection, and free education institutions to use their data for the intended purpose of student achievement and success.

About BrightBytes

BrightBytes is a learning analytics organization that translates complex analysis and educational research into fast actions that drive student learning. Their flagship platform, Clarity, measures modern learning outcomes and provides visualized results that are educative, engaging, and actionable, allowing organizations to make evidence-based decisions that improve instruction and advance student achievement.

About Authentica

Authentica Solutions supports K-12 organizations no matter where they are on the data exchange spectrum. Their unique approach toward implementing, handling, and storing data from disparate systems provides school districts the freedom to select the software solutions that work best for them. With direct experience integrating their products with over 30 of the leading enterprise solutions in the edtech space, no other team has the hands-on experience to help all customers meet their data management requirements.

The Sika SolaRoof system is a non-penetrating, integrated solar solution for thermoplastic roofs that goes above and beyond the traditional racking system.

Canton, Mass. (PRWEB) June 29, 2017

Sika, the worldwide market leader in thermoplastic roofing and waterproofing membranes, is pleased to partner with Sunwealth and Centroplan in announcing the installation of a brand new Sika SolaRoof® park atop its headquarters in Canton, Mass.

The Sika SolaRoof system is a non-penetrating, integrated solar solution for thermoplastic roofs that goes above and beyond the traditional racking system. It incorporates the proven performance of a Sarnafil Roof System with the Sika SolarMount-1 - an innovative, non-penetrating, engineered solution for long-term securement of solar rooftop photovoltaic. Sika SolarMount-1 is a lightweight, aerodynamic mounting system for the installation of rigid PV panels on low slope Sarnafil thermoplastic roofs.

“The Sika SolaRoof system is one of the most innovative applications in the solar roofing arena in many years,” said Bill Bellico, Director of Marketing for Sika Roofing. “Having a lightweight system without the need for hundreds of penetrations in the roof is a game changer for the industry. Now building owners no longer need to worry about the risk of damage from the shifting of traditional ballasted arrays or potential leak threats from all the penetrations of a fastened system.”

The key component of the SolarMount-1 is the Sika SolarClick welding flange. The SolarClicks, which are made with the same formulation as Sarnafil membranes, are mounted to each support and hot-air welded to the Sarnafil membrane. They provide a large contact area, critical for uniform load distribution in order to reduce compression loads on the thermal insulation.

Since the SolarClicks are hot-air welded to the membrane, the weight of typical ballasted systems is not required, making the Sika SolaRoof system ideal for most lightweight roof structures. And because the SolarClicks are made from the same formulation as the membranes, compatibility issues are eliminated.

Sunwealth, a pioneering clean energy firm, has created a standardized, technology-enabled process by which commercial solar projects can be easily and economically financed, allowing developers to build valuable projects and investors to generate high-quality returns. Sunwealth’s team is committed to harnessing the power of their proprietary platform to deliver meaningful investment returns and tangible social impact.

“We are honored to partner with Sika and Centroplan to finance this high-performance solar installation through our community of investors,” said Ryan Dings, Chief Operating Officer at Sunwealth. “With this incredible project, we can demonstrate the power of commercial solar to building owners and investors alike. It will serve as a model of operational and financial performance for many projects to come.”

Sika Roofing has partnered with Centroplan to enable its customers to access an “all-inclusive” solar system package. By combining the expertise of both companies, the roof and photovoltaics interface can be excluded in order to develop a solar roof that is tailored to your needs. The roof and PV material components are optimally coordinated in the process, allowing comprehensive warranty packages to be made available.

“In a market climate where collaboration between roof and solar companies is unusual, it is a testament to Centroplan’s and Sika’s commitment to developing a single, integral solar PV and roof system that solves the problems and risks seen at the interface between the solar system and the roofing system,” said Mark Gies, Director of Sales and Product at Centroplan. “The Sika SolaRoof system achieves this with its unique features and design. Sika furthers its commitment and confidence by including the system in its roof warranty coverage. This is a big value to the building owner by reducing risk and providing peace of mind.”

SIKA AG CORPORATE PROFILE

Sika is a specialty chemicals company with a leading position in the development and production of systems and products for bonding, sealing, damping, reinforcing and protecting in the building sector and automotive industry.
