Harbour outlines their Ethereum-powered system of smart contracts that harnesses the power of the crowd in managing token assets in a newly released white paper.

Zurich, Switzerland (PRWEB) July 01, 2017

Harbour DAO releases their white paper describing their completely autonomous DAO for determining investments in token launches. The recent explosion in ICOs has created a need for deciphering which tokens have longevity and potential for ROI. Harbour harnesses the wisdom of the crowd to accomplish this. The Harbour DAO is a system that manages a DATA (Decentralized Autonomous Token Array). The token array is constantly evolving and is managed entirely by HRB token holders.

Dean Eigenmann, Co-founder and CEO of Harbour, said, “Our team is committed to building a system that is totally autonomous and democratic. If we are successful, then our team will become obsolete and the Harbour community will make all decisions, including which ICOs to invest in as well as the structure of the DAO itself.”

The white paper details four essential components of the Harbour DAO: a system of smart contracts, platform UI, the Harbour token (HRB), and the community. The system of smart contracts built on the Ethereum blockchain allows the DAO to function democratically, operating on an “if-then” logic. The platform UI offers an easy way for the community to interact via web browser. HRB tokens endow holders with voting rights as well as access to a portion of the surplus ETH generated by Harbour; however, the most important component is the community itself. Like any functional democratic society, Harbour’s success is tied to the level of engagement of its participants. The technical specifications delve into more detail about each component’s functionality.

In terms of structure, the Congress forms the heart of the Harbour DAO. All communication is streamlined through the Congress, including the creation and execution of proposals. Proposals are the mechanism by which HRB token holders participate in decision making, including which tokens to buy and sell, which ICOs to invest in, as well as the overall direction of the DAO. Harbour’s core offering is the diversification of ICO investments through holder votes. By funding a variety of ICOs and relying on the wisdom of the crowd, Harbour protects holders against the bad judgement of any single participant.

“The impetus for starting this project was to create a community for those in the distributed space to support token launches and be rewarded for their participation,” said Eigenmann. Harbour has determined a road map for reaching their goal, which begins with their token launch on July 15th and runs until July 29th. Harbour estimates the DAO will be fully autonomous by Q4 2018.

Global Voice Group's technologies structure transactional data to work for governments for planning, development, control and security purposes in their countries.

(PRWEB) July 02, 2017

For over a decade, Global Voice Group (GVG) has been providing solutions for telecommunication regulators to gather key information within the telecoms industry. This wealth of data (Big Data) is, however, unstructured and now GVG shows how this transactional data can be structured to work for governments for planning, development, control and security purposes in their countries. In fact, the potential of this data is so valuable that it should be deemed of national interest.

While the data gathered can be used for an infinite number of applications, GVG has developed three critical platforms: IMS, ARMS and DMS for governments/regulators to focus on:

•     the overall health of the telecoms sector
•     financial inclusion
•     security
•     revenue reporting
•     revenue generation

The Interconnection Management System (IMS) is geared to provide regulators with real-time visibility over international incoming and outgoing traffic, local interconnection traffic and local on-net traffic. These key traffic flows are monitored by means of non-intrusive probes.

The ARMS platform provides information on international incoming traffic, local traffic, mobile money, data, SMSes and roaming.

The Data Management Solution provides the authorities with maximum visibility over data services so as to monitor and align them to current or future regulations for good governance.

Telecommunications companies have lost and are losing hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue to VoIP OTT operators and this excludes video and other OTT services. GVG’s DMS platform can identify the patterns which contribute to erosion, quantify the potential losses, suggest regulations to address the concerns and provide regulators with the means to control and enforce any new policies.

Big Data can be analysed at the transactional level to identify certain correlations for the identification of demographic growth patterns, the flow of money through the territory and security threats. Better Industry knowledge means better management of regulatory responsibilities.

Recent history has shown that mobile money systems have been used for financing terrorist cells and illicit/criminal activities. GVG’s M3 solution, coupled with its E-remittance solution can provide governments with the timely visibility over money flowing across borders, the possibility of detecting irregular transactions through the anti-money laundering modules, and the ability to trace the flow of money for suspicious activities and identify other potential members of illicit organisations.

The other side of the mobile money coin, is that these transactions provide economic and financial inclusion for those without access to formal banking and financial services—enabling them to transact and run small businesses on their mobile/Smartphones. It would be prudent for governments and regulators who are concerned about the risks to deploy GVG’s M3 platform which gives governments visibility into this exploding parallel economy giving them hourly snapshots of:

•     cash in and cash out
•     peer-to-peer transfers
•     airtime purchases
•     fees paid
•     purchases of consumer goods
•     international transfers

Key data collected mainly through GVG’s M3 solution can be leveraged to create a credit profile for unbanked mobile money users to gain access to unsecured financial loans. The combination of the M3, IMS, DMS and ARMS platforms allow a more complete and accurate credit profile to be created.

GVG’s revenue reporting system, AVATAR, allows governments to collect sales tax and record VAT transactions in real-time. This transparency means income streams can be predicted more accurately and taxes on petrol, utilities, alcohol and tobacco can be monitored.

GVG platforms allow governments an overarching benefit—the secure implementation of micro-levies on transactions like:

•     incoming and outgoing international traffic
•     active daily roamer, monthly data user and mobile money user levies
•     incoming international transfers
•     incoming visitor tax

Governments can implement micro-levies to raise revenue for socio-economic development facilitated by accurate billing information as each of the levies can be recorded in real-time through GVG’s Data Acquisition System (DAS).

GVG has government clients in many African countries: Tanzania, Rwanda, Ghana, Congo-Brazzaville, Senegal, Liberia, Gabon, Guinea-Conakry, Central African Republic, Togo and Uganda and with its sophisticated and cutting-edge technology is uniquely positioned to assist governments and regulatory authorities to maximise the benefits of the treasure trove of telecommunications transactional data which they can have at their fingertips and use for the benefit of all their citizens.

Excellent progress made on 3-phase expansion project at Pierside Pavillion

Huntington Beach, CA (PRWEB) July 02, 2017

Theory R Properties, is pleased to announce that Morris Construction in conjunction with architect Team Design, are making excellent progress to the 3-phase expansion project at the iconic Pierside Pavilion, which will be rebranded the Huntington Surf and Sport Building and sits across from the Pier on Main Street & Pacific Coast Highway in Huntington Beach. When complete, there will be an additional 30,000 square feet housed in a 4-story building. The expansion will house high-end retail on the ground floor, a 2nd floor upscale restaurant with a rooftop terrace and two floors of office space.

Theory R Properties which purchased the building in 2002, commenced a significant remodel and addition to the property in 2016. Phase I which consisted of a refacing and expansion of store fronts to the drip-line was recently completed by renowned architect and owner of Team Design, Jeff Bergsma. Mr. Bergsma designed the entire project consisting of 3 phases. Phase II is the complicated installation of new elevator banks, stairway access to BLK restaurant and a clearing of the courtyard in preparation for phase III which will be the construction of a new tower. Team Design has worked in concert with Morris Construction on Phase II which is nearing completion this summer.

The new restaurant space will offer a sprawling 8,000 square feet to a fine dining establishment. It will include a gourmet kitchen, upscale finishes and plenty of attraction allowing a new business to thrive. The seating space includes a large indoor area as well as a partially covered terrace. The most exquisite piece of this space is the large rooftop terrace where diners can enjoy the beautiful views that Huntington Beach has to offer.

Over 10,000 square feet of the new expansion are dedicated to office suites, some including balcony space with sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean.

“This is an exciting project and opportunity to design and construct a more contemporary look to this landmark building where visitors tend to congregate due to its premier location” stated Mr. Bergsma.

Chris Morris, President of Morris Construction, added “there is a lot of complexity when building at and even below sea level. We were delighted to be selected by Theory R Properties for our expertise in this area and look forward to what promises to be an outstanding finished product.”

Currently, Huntington Surf and Sport Building is a collection of bustling shops, offices and restaurants in nearly 90,000 square feet of existing space. The new addition will increase the overall square footage to over 120,000 square feet of retail, restaurant and office space. Existing shopping and dining establishments include Huntington Surf & Sport, Volcom, Hurley, Haviannas, Subway, BLK, Ponderosa Steak House, Gallagher’s Pub and Grill, Fred’s Mexican Café and George’s Grill.

Gary Daichendt, owner of Theory R Properties, stated “I could not be more delighted in working with Bergsma and Morris and the progress we have made.”

MyBurger, the custom burger builder app, is attempting to rewrite history (literally) with their 4th of July pre-launch campaign: “Declare Your Independence from Boring Burgers!”

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) July 02, 2017

A new mobile app is about to become every burger lovers best friend. MyBurger, the custom burger builder, is making it easier than ever for users to order exactly what they’re craving from a local restaurant. The app enables users to select from a wide variety of meats, cheeses, and toppings to create a truly personal, one-of-a-kind burger in mouth-wateringly visual detail.

Scheduled for roll out on iOS and Android devices later this year, MyBurger is attempting to rewrite history (literally) with their 4th of July pre-launch campaign.

“On July 4th, 1776, the Founding Fathers gathered in Philadelphia to declare their independence… from boring burgers!,” says Magdim Mukhametshin, VP of Marketing. “No longer would they tolerate the soggy slices of bread and mince meat known as ‘British Burgers’. These new, beefier creations were stacked two, three, four patties high with American cheese and toppings from across the colonies.”

MyBurger aims to continue this “tradition” by allowing users to think outside the menu. Mix-and-match ingredients with the app’s easy-to-use interface. Be spontaneous! From meaty to vegan and everything in between, users can design their burger their way.

“This isn’t some assembly line, microwaved burger we’re talking here either,” says Arthur Khachatryan, founder of MyBurger. “You’re ordering from a local chef who takes pride in hand-crafting your burger. Cheesy. Spicy. Bacony. Whatever your tastes are, just do you!”

“As of now, we've partnered with FourSixFour in DTLA and Shaka Shack Burgers in Santa Monica” says Magdim. “They are the pioneer restaurants that will be the first to offer their custom burger options through the MyBurger app. Dozens more coming soon!"

The MyBurger app boasts product images of every ingredient that goes into the burger, meaning users aren’t just checking boxes next to “pepper jack” and “fried egg.” They’re actually seeing the pepper in that pepper jack cheese, that fried egg stacked on top of the burger, with engaging graphic design and a more intuitive user experience.

“Most restaurants just list out their burgers in the plainest, uninspired way. I wanted to visualize my meal.” says Mr. Khachatryan. “Plus, there’s something special about the anticipation behind knowing you’re getting exactly what you want to eat. Call it one of life’s little pleasures, but I trust my tastes. And I don’t have to be afraid of forgetting a new favorite burger, because MyBurger remembers all of my creations, so reordering from a local restaurant is only a few clicks away, no matter where I am.”

The app’s “MyBurger’s Better” feature even brings a little gamification to the experience, allowing users to post their custom recipes to a Leader Board where they’re upvoted based on how many others re-order it. The more love users get from the burger community, the juicier the title that’s bestowed upon them. But only one can become the Burger Baron, ruler of the custom burger realm!

The MyBurger app is free and will be available in the App Store and on Google Play later this year, but they’re inviting early adopters to be the first to experience the custom burger builder while in beta testing. For more information, check out their Press Kit.

Way With Words Launches Nibity.com to Make Transcription Simple

Boston, MA (PRWEB) July 03, 2017

Nibity.com, a new technology website that offers simple automated online transcription, was officially launched for the USA today. The transcription service is designed for anyone who needs audio or video converted to text and wants full online access to their ordering and collection system.

“We are addressing the relatively unchanged, complicated and expensive speech-to-text service options available to users in the US today,” said Adam Kossowski, founder of Nibity and CEO of Way With Words, the global transcription service behind the launch of Nibity.com. Local prices for transcription are often unclear and the process remains manual. “As a result, users find they often have to do the transcribing themselves or possibly choose a machine transcription service where accuracy remains a challenge,” Kossowski notes. “So our focus at this stage is to offer a simple online human-driven transcribing service where the process to request a quote and book jobs is all online, immediate, and easy to follow,” he emphasizes.

The global speech recognition sector is predicted to be worth $9.97 billion by 2022, according to a new market research report by Technology and Geography – Global Forecast to 2022. This market, which includes speech-to-text services, is one of the fastest growing business segments today, with the likes of IBM, Microsoft and Google all heavily investing in this technology and seeing steadily improving software accuracy.

A fast-growing segment of the industry is conversational speech transcription using deep neural networks. Speech-to-text solutions built purely on AI driven platforms and software solutions are still challenged by a diversity of languages, dialects and nuances in the meaning of words. “So, providing a purely AI driven solution will continue to be challenged by accuracy equivalent to a human-typed transcript at this time,” according to Kossowski.

“This is where Nibity may have an offshoot developed to provide future value: by actively engaging with a select speech-to-text technology partner to integrate machine-led transcriptions with human-managed oversight to ensure consistent and accurate transcription. This combination of services would bring opportunities to engage with new industry and eventually enable the transcription service to process significant volumes on a live-time basis”, he notes.

Way With Words is presently in discussion with an international technology provider in the speech-to-text space interested in offering such a hybrid (part software, part people) transcription service. “We hope to position Nibity to offer an offshoot service that combines the value of employing people with technology in a manner that is commercially attractive and secure in the longer term,” Kossowski explains.

Graham Morrissey, Head of Resources for Way With Words, responsible for building the human teams required to take Nibity global, says “It’s an exciting time for us. Nibity offers great online work opportunities for Americans, especially students who need income on a flexible basis to pay off student loans and for living expenses.” Morrissey continues, “In a time when unemployment is always a concern, Nibity not only provides an alternative means of income, but also a great opportunity for anyone looking to engage in and build work experience. This is especially true for students, who can then claim work relevant to the industry in which they're studying.”

As part of the global growth strategy, Nibity is also to officially launch in Canada shortly. “Both markets are competitively priced and challenging, but we believe Nibity provides an edge in its pricing, model and potential technology-driven partnership,” states Kossowski.

Nibity.com’s competitive edge already includes a simple drop and view process to see final cost and ready date, a great price point with discounts for packages, a cross-device platform to ensure ease of use, and an intuitive process eliminating guesswork of what to do next.

Soon-to-be launched developments for Nibity feature a corporate account system and custom client-dedicated transcription solutions.

“We see Nibity.com as a first step to providing a superbly accurate speech-to-text service that is based on low cost, high speed and large volume capabilities,” concludes Kossowski.

“This Bamboo mouse pad is a cut above the competition,” says Perry Solomon, Prosumer’s Choice President and Founder. “We designed and built this mouse pad because we saw a real need in the office accessories market for a solid option made with premium materials rather than cheap chipboard or fake wood finishing.”

The mouse pad functions as a compact desk organizer to keep small office necessities within reach. The detachable device holder securely fits a Smartphone or Tablet so the device stays in place instead of getting lost on a desk. The Bamboo tray also has space for pens, pencils, or USB drives. Its space-saving design makes the mouse pad ideal for cubicles and other cramped work environments. The multi-use mouse pad requires no assembly out of the box, which makes it an excellent gift for college students getting ready to move into campus dorms this fall.

DigitalPhone.io, a leading provider of USAC Category 1 eligible hosted telecommunications to K-12 schools in the Southeast U.S., announced that it has completed a successful large-scale number port migration project for Oneida Baptist Institute.

GREENSBORO, NC (PRWEB) July 03, 2017

DigitalPhone.io, a leading provider of USAC Category 1 eligible hosted telecommunications to K-12 schools in the Southeast U.S., announced that it has completed a successful large-scale number port migration project for Oneida Baptist Institute, an internationally-renowned boarding and day school for students in grades 6-12 founded in 1899, and located in Oneida, KY.

Oneida Baptist Institute’s Director of Development John Monday reached out to DigitalPhone.io earlier this year after the school’s previous VoIP phone system carrier repeatedly failed to meet its quality, performance and service obligations.

“We had switched to a VoIP phone system in January. The phone quality wasn’t the greatest, and then came the number porting fiasco,” commented Monday. “They gave me every excuse under the sun as to why they couldn't port the numbers that we needed. Finally, I had enough, and realized that we needed a partner that would provide us with better service, and treat our problems and needs with urgency instead of indifference.”

Immediately after being contacted by Oneida Baptist Institute, DigitalPhone.io’s Partner Manager Brant Yandell took the lead in helping Monday and his team:

• Clearly and thoroughly understand the technical aspects of porting numbers to their VoIP phone system.
• Explain that their previous carrier lacked both the in-house expertise and the financial interest to get the job done.
• Describe how DigitalPhone.io would solve the problem and provide responsive post-project support.

Based on the above, Oneida Baptist Institute decided to partner with DigitalPhone.io. A customized plan was developed and executed, and the school’s VoIP phone system comprised of approximately 100 users and 130 devices went live in May without any delays or issues.

Added Monday: “I was impressed with DigitalPhone.io's customer service more than anything. Brant and his team were more than helpful from the initial call, all the way through to the installation and implementation of the new service. I can say, without any reservations, that everyone at DigitalPhone.io has been extremely responsive to my questions, concerns, and any problems that I might have. I would advise other schools not to waste their time looking anywhere else. DigitalPhone.io’s claims that they will follow through on their promises are 100 percent true. I have no regrets moving to DigitalPhone.io.”

“Exceptional customers help create successful outcomes, and John and his incredible team at Oneida Baptist Institute are a perfect example of this,” commented Nicky Smith, Carolina Digital’s CEO and Founder. “It was a pleasure to help this renowned and respected school reap the full benefits of their VoIP phone system investment. Unlike their previous vendor, we look forward to being a responsive and attentive partner long into the future.”

Jet Reports is now offering global online training for its clients, saving companies thousands of dollars in travel and related training costs. The first online courses went live in April, and to date students have completed more than 2,500 lectures

PORTLAND, Ore. (PRWEB) July 03, 2017

Jet Reports has extended its Microsoft Dynamics ERP client training model to a modern, self-paced, eLearning platform that’s accessible wherever and whenever clients require.

“We have over 137,000 people who use our software and now, with more people moving to our subscription model, the budget to do instructor-led onsite training was not very realistic,” said Brian Petersen, Jet Reports Vice President of Customer Engagement.

Jet Reports users operate throughout the US, but they’re also in Dubai, Sydney and Warsaw – to name a few, Petersen said, and that brings challenges.

“More and more we’re being asked for self-guided training that can help their workforce, where people may be working in four different locations across various time zones,” Petersen said. “It costs thousands of dollars to fly people to training sessions – now they don’t have to.”

Accounting and financial reporting software isn’t like figuring out Angry Birds. Errors can influence projection figures, cause bad decisions based on inaccurate data, and more. In other words, training shouldn’t be considered optional. Customers want to know their employees are experiencing success quickly.

“We live in an app-centric world where user experience and user interface is crucial to success,” he said. “This mindset is bleeding over to business as well, where people are saying they shouldn’t have to spend a week to learn something.”

Within a six-month window, Petersen located a simple secure eLearning platform, and then worked with Sarah Kloser, Customer Success Manager, to modify and adapt the Jet Reports onsite training materials into a new model.

Each course contains 20-30 modules and uses a variety of techniques including VM (virtual machine) learning, video, questionnaires, reading materials, exercises and quizzes to get the job done. Students can log in from any device – on or offsite – and track their progress. If students get stuck or have additional questions, the support team is always available.

“We want people to get their hands dirty and experience instant success,” Kloser said. “Our main goal is to give people easy access to information whenever they want it.”

Jet Reports eLearning went live in mid-April. By May, more than 120 people had registered and taken 1,893 lectures.

“People like the fact that it’s comprehensive and they can access the information any time in little increments,” Kloser said. “We want our products to be as easy as possible, and as self-serve as possible. ELearning delivers that full spectrum.”

The company currently has two courses available, with plans to have five courses and 1,000 people trained by the end of the year.

About Jet Reports

Jet Reports delivers unparalleled access to data through fast and flexible reporting and business analytics solutions that are cost effective, provide rapid time-to-value, and are built specifically for the needs of Microsoft Dynamics ERP users. Founded in 2002, Jet Reports is headquartered in Portland, OR, and has distribution offices in 14 countries around the globe.

Calling rates to Nigeria dropped drastically on TelephoneNigeria.com, to facilitate long distance communication between Nigerian expats and their families and friends back in their motherland.

Atlanta, Georgia (PRWEB) July 03, 2017

TelephoneNigeria, the service dedicated to Nigerian expats worldwide, announces lower rates to call mobile phones and landlines in Nigeria starting this month. The new rate of the monthly plan is 17% lower. What happened is that Nigeria 300 turned into Nigeria 350 and has now 50 more minutes at the same price of $23.99 / month. The international calling service requires no contract, yet one needs a PIN to be able to make international calls. A PIN is automatically received once someone registers on TelephoneNigeria.com and purchases a plan like Nigeria 350 or Nigeria 120, or at least $2 Voice Credit.

Nigerians abroad benefit now of 17% OFF on the monthly plan to call Nigeria, and the lowest rate on the global market: 6.9 cents/minute. This happens thanks to a smart move TelephoneNigeria.com team made. 50 more international minutes were added to the initial plan called Nigeria 300, while keeping the same overall price. So, the new plan, Nigeria 350, includes 350 international minutes to landlines and mobiles in Nigeria at the same price of $23.99 / month.

For those who need less than 350 minutes, TelephoneNigeria has newly launched Nigeria 120 monthly plan. It comprises 120 international minutes to Nigeria landlines and mobiles for a monthly price of $9.99 / month. The unique rate to call both landlines and mobile phones in Nigeria with Nigeria 120 is 8.3 cents/minute.

The calling plans on TelephoneNigeria.com are flexible in several ways:

-Anyone can upgrade or downgrade their current plan according to his/her real needs; one can go from Nigeria 120 to Nigeria 350 with no penalty or extra fees, and vice versa.

-Plans can be deactivated, and reactivated when needed without any penalties or other financial duties.

-Payment can be made from anywhere in the world using the local currency of the region.

-Payment is possible with PayPal, as well as all major cards: MasterCard, Discover, American Express, JCB, Visa, Union Pay.

Calls can be made in two different ways with TelephoneNigeria balance:

-Calls from a smartphone, using KeepCalling app for Android and iOS devices

-Calls that don't require Internet connection, and only use an access number in the area of residence, just like a smart alternative to calling cards; yet at much lower rates.

Voice Credit is an alternative to monthly plans. The credit never expires and that the benefit of those who do not make international calls on a regular basis. The new unique rate is 9.9 cents/minute to call both landlines and mobiles in Nigeria.

Besides calls to Nigeria and other destinations, TelephoneNigeria.com also offers online Mobile Recharge to Nigeria. In other words, mobile credit transfers to Nigeria from abroad. This only requires someone to fill in the online form on the website. The amount gets to the beneficiary in Nigeria instantly, and can be used according to the terms of the local operator: Etisalat, Airtel, Glo or MTN.

Though women hold fewer than 1 in 4 computer, math and engineering jobs, IT executive Monica Eaton-Cardone believes the girls of Generation Z will swell the ranks of women in tech.

Tampa Bay, Fla. (PRWEB) July 03, 2017

According to the latest government statistics, women account for less than 1 in 4 computer, math and engineering occupations(1) and just 1 in 5 computer sciences and engineering bachelor’s degrees.(2) Yet Monica Eaton-Cardone, an IT executive with expertise in risk management and fraud prevention, sees promising signs that Generation Z will expand the presence of women in technology.

The latest U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) data reveals that while women represent 46.8% of the labor force, they fill only 24.7% of computer and mathematical occupations and just 15.1% of architecture and engineering jobs.(1) And though women earned more than 57% of all bachelor’s degrees for the last 10 years on record, the National Science Foundation (NSF) reports that the proportion of women earning computer sciences and engineering degrees has fallen during that time and hovers below 20%. NSF records show that women’s attainment of computer sciences degrees fell from 25.1% in 2004 to 17.9% in 2009 before inching up to 18.1% in 2014, while the percentage who earned engineering degrees declined from 20.5% to 18.1% before rising to 19.8%.(2)

“More women earn degrees than men, yet they remain woefully underrepresented in science, engineering, technology and math—or ‘STEM’—fields,” said Eaton-Cardone, who serves as Chief Information Officer (CIO) of Global Risk Technologies and Chief Operating Officer (COO) of Chargebacks911. “Although the current statistics may seem discouraging, there are signs of a growing interest in STEM careers among girls and young women, and I believe Generation Z will spearhead greater gender diversity in technology roles.”

Eaton-Cardone points to numerous indicators cited in a TechCrunch article; for example, young girls are taking high-level mathematics and science courses at similar rates as male students, and eighth-grade girls outperformed their male peers in a national technology and engineering literacy test. A growing number of women are enrolling in postsecondary STEM programs; in fact, Harvey Mudd College reported in 2013 that female engineering majors outnumbered males for the first time, and females also accounted for 47% of the school’s computer science majors. In addition, leading tech corporations such as Oracle and Google have begun investing millions of dollars to help girls develop valuable technology skills.(3)

“Children born from the mid-90s onward have been exposed to information technology their entire lives, making technological literacy a defining characteristic of Generation Z,” asserted Eaton-Cardone. “Girls of this generation are less intimidated by technology and more likely to embrace the creative and problem-solving aspects of STEM careers. Within the next decade, I expect women will account for a much greater proportion of technology and engineering occupations.”

To help promote this growth, Eaton-Cardone urges educators to nurture girls who demonstrate an aptitude for science and math, and calls on career counselors to underscore the earning potential of technology and engineering jobs. Statistics show that women in STEM occupations earn 33% more than those in non-STEM roles, and they typically experience a much smaller gender pay gap.(4) With many employers facing shortages of qualified candidates, Eaton-Cardone advises tech companies to invest in STEM programs for girls to maintain a strong pool of talent. She also encourages women in technology leadership roles to step up as mentors and help prepare the next generation of female IT professionals and engineers.

As a strong proponent of women in business and technology, Monica Eaton-Cardone welcomes the opportunity to meet with fellow female tech innovators at upcoming industry conferences and events, where she frequently presents on topics relating to fraud prevention, financial technology (FinTech) and security best practices. She is also available for interviews and future speaking engagements. For more information, visit http://monicaec.com.

A student at Des Moines Area Community College (DMACC) in Iowa has set a world record for the highest ever score for a business simulation, “MikesBikes” by Boston-based company Smartsims. Gehling’s achievement is an example of how business simulation games encourage high student achievement and learning outcomes.

Des Moines, IA (PRWEB) July 04, 2017

In a stunning academic achievement, Austin Gehling of Des Moines Area Community College (DMACC) has achieved the highest score ever recorded in the world for a business simulation.

The business simulation game – “MikesBikes” by Boston-based company Smartsims – was a requirement of Gehling’s Introduction to Business class, run by Professor Russell Holmes. In the simulation, students are given control over all aspects of their own company, including distribution, operations and finance. Participants compete directly with their classmates with the goal of maximizing shareholder value, but are also ranked against more than 8,000 fellow students across the world.

While a shareholder value of $100 is considered a good outcome, Gehling completed the simulation with a shareholder value of $413.86 – the highest ever achieved. Former DMACC student, Mason Ohnemus, previously had the second-best score but has now fallen to third place.

Business simulations are becoming increasingly popular in college and universities as a way of providing real-life practice in a low-risk environment. A 2006 study in American Society of Training and Development found that the competitive game atmosphere of business simulations improved student engagement. Moreover, a 2004 study in Simulation & Gaming found a positive correlation between simulation performance and future workplace salaries and promotions.

This finding bodes well for Gehling, who earlier this month was awarded a plaque for his outstanding achievement.

“Austin’s performance is extremely impressive, and I have no doubt he has a bright future ahead of him,” says Smartsims’ Vice President and Chief Operations Officer, Ian McPherson. “It goes to show how business simulation games like ‘MikesBikes’ can really motivate students to go the extra mile to succeed, while also learning important concepts about how to run a business. As a method of experiential learning simulations just can’t be beat.”

Artificial intelligence-enabled virtual assistant to support users with information, analytics and decision-making across the Integrated Receivables platform.

Houston, TX (PRWEB) July 04, 2017

HighRadius Corporation launches Freda™, the world’s first virtual assistant for credit-to-cash. Similar to other virtual assistants, Freda processes human input and instantly looks up information or assists with daily tasks and answers both simple and highly complex questions. HighRadius™ Freda will assist credit and receivables analysts, managers and leaders with day-to-day data lookup, customer research, analytics and decision-making.

Freda is available as a text-based virtual assistant with the HighRadius™ Integrated Receivables platform and will support processes and decision-making across credit, collections, deductions, cash application, billing and payments. Click here to learn more about Freda™ Virtual Assistant for Credit-to-Cash.

Every credit and receivables team processes hundreds of thousands of transactions while analyzing data and reports across systems and tools. Consider the scenario in which an analyst has a discussion with a customer on credit limit extension. While on the call, an analyst would want to look up information on the customer’s total credit exposure and payment trends before making a credit decision. Traditionally, this would require pulling up multiple reports and worksheets to have a meaningful conversation with the customer and make an informed decision. With Freda, an analyst could simply ask, “What is the total credit exposure for Customer A,” and instantly receive a response along with links to relevant reports, analysis and information.

Freda leverages Natural Language Processing algorithms to process user questions and share relevant information. The algorithms enable Freda to understand the ‘intent’ behind virtually hundreds of thousands of questions and provide appropriate responses and associated data. Users simply type a question in the chat interface and Freda responds with the required information that may include links to data, documents and reports across the HighRadius™ Integrated Receivables platform. Freda seamlessly integrates data and information traversing credit and receivables functions, and the outcome is a highly knowledgeable, dependable colleague for every credit and receivables team.

Freda supports three major functions in everyday credit-to-cash processing. The first enables instant and quick access to basic information about receivables and payment history, customer master data plus both team and individual activity and performance. Freda responds to inquiries such as finding out a list of open invoices for a customer based on a particular ageing bucket, or figuring out when the next payment batch is due, or simply generating a list of all payment commitments which need to be followed-up on a particular day. Freda provides information that spans the credit-to-cash cycle in a ready-to-use format.

As a second function, Freda also supports quick analytics on customer and receivables data. Traditionally this would require downloading reports, exporting data to a spreadsheet and doing mathematical calculations. Freda is able to perform analysis on-the-fly using data from open A/R, customer master and payment history. For example, Freda helps managers know who their top performing collector was based on the successfully collected payment commitments, or enable an analyst to compute the total early-payment discount claimed by a customer over the last three months.

Finally, the third major function allows Freda to help analysts and managers leverage the HighRadius Rivana™ Artificial Intelligence Engine for accurate inputs in decision-making. A user could ask Freda about the probability of receiving a remittance for a payment before deciding on whether to manually handle it as an exception. In another case, collectors could ask Freda the best time to call a customer. Analysts could also use Freda to predict whether an invoice would get paid in the next 5 days, in order to determine the priority of the invoice in their follow-up queue. Freda is dynamically plugged in to the Rivana™ Artificial Intelligence Engine to handle all ad hoc predictive intelligence requests. Click here to learn more about the Rivana™ Artificial Intelligence Engine.

Commenting on the launch of Freda, Sashi Narahari, CEO and President, HighRadius, said, “The focus of technology and innovation at HighRadius has always been to empower credit and receivables teams in everyday work to achieve better outcomes. A few years back when we introduced our Artificial Intelligence-enabled Cash Application Cloud, the objective was not just to deliver all-time high payment reconciliation automation levels, but also to eliminate the manual effort involved in ‘rope-and-zone’ processes required for traditional OCR-based solutions. Today, our Freda™ Virtual Assistant for Credit-to-Cash is potentially set to revolutionize credit and receivables operations by giving users access to all available information and data at their fingertips. This would mean more productive dunning calls, better credit decision-making, faster dispute research and resolution, and easier monitoring of team productivity and performance.”

When asked if Freda would be able to answer all questions related to credit and receivable, Sashi commented, “Freda uses Artificial Intelligence to continuously learn based on interactions with users. With Machine Learning and Natural Language Processing, Freda is readily able to answer more than 7,000 different use-cases in credit and A/R. With continued exposure, Freda will only get better with time.”

Mississauga, ON (PRWEB) July 04, 2017

Ontario-based global spray foam insulation manufacturer, Icynene, today announced the launch of its latest high-performance closed-cell spray foam insulation product for the Canadian market – Icynene ProSeal LE. Icynene ProSeal LE offers the opportunity to achieve R-31 in minutes to help spray foam contractors save on labour costs.

A low exotherm innovation, an initial five inch pass of Icynene ProSeal LE can be sprayed in a combination two inch/two inch/one inch (2”/2”/1”) lifts to achieve R-31 in mere minutes versus hours. Icynene ProSeal LE features an initial LTTR 2.4 (m²·K)/W at 50mm (R14 at 2”) and an LTTR RSI of 2.02 (m²·K)/W (R6 at 1”) and performs as an air barrier with an air permeance of 0.0005 L/s.m² at 35 mm (1.37”).

“Icynene ProSeal LE is a game changing innovation from Icynene. This new product innovation allows sprayers to achieve R-31 in just minutes rather than hours. Our test trials have shown that there is up to 19% in labour cost savings,” said Bruce Young, Canadian Regional Sales Director for Icynene.

“Our R&D team has worked to develop and introduce the next generation of high-performance closed-cell spray foam insulation products that go beyond in delivering performance, applicability and range. The introduction of Icynene ProSeal LE reinforces our position as the industry leader here in Canada as well as across the globe.”

Complementing its low exotherm and LTTR attributes, Icynene ProSeal LE product features include:

• Suitability for cold weather applications as low as -5oC
• GREENGUARD Gold certification
• Excellent adhesion to itself and to substrates
