The application applies payments to invoices and updates the A/R and G/L automatically. Users of EBizCharge for Sage 100 benefit from the elimination of double data entry from their accounting workflow and have reported saving hours every week on data entry.

EBizCharge Connect is an online customer payment portal that allows merchants to upload invoices to a secure web-based portal. Customers can log in online and pay invoices at their convenience.

“The integration of EBizCharge for Sage 100 and EBizCharge Connect will further simplify invoicing for our clients,” said VP of Sales Scott McEwing. Through the integration, invoices paid through EBizCharge Connect’s online portal can be applied directly back to Sage 100 with the click of a button.

“We take a hands-on approach to developing solutions. We listen to feedback from our merchants on how we can streamline their accounting workflow,” McEwing said. “The integration of two of our most popular products will help us achieve that goal.”

Century Business Solutions says they will continue to develop their suite of products in their mission to reimagine the payment acceptance space.

Resoundant Launches MRE:connect

Webpage will serve as an online directory of MRE-ready locations.

Rochester, MN (PRWEB) July 20, 2017

Resoundant, Inc. is pleased to introduce MRE:connect, an online directory of leading radiology and imaging centers around the U.S. that offer MR Elastography for liver fibrosis staging. MR Elastography is a non-invasive and highly accurate alternative to needle biopsy for staging liver fibrosis assessment.

“MRE:connect was created in response to an increasing number of requests, predominantly from the patient community, asking where they can schedule an MRE exam,” said Resoundant Chief Operating Officer, Troy Ziegler. "We felt it was important to help people find this technology."

The number of MRE-ready locations continues to grow at a high rate, and MRE:connect currently lists over 250 unique locations in the U.S. There are plans to eventually extend MRE:connect globally.

In the case of Hepatitis C and its prevalence in the U.S., the installation base for MRE appears sufficiently robust to help tackle the epidemic. Altogether, MRE is available in 38 states, covering 91% of all HCV patients. MRE is also located in all 10 States with the greatest prevalence of HCV infections (>100,000 patients), with an average of 18 locations in those high-prevalence States.

“Because leading Radiology practices have stepped up in making this technology accessible to patients, we estimate that roughly 95% of HCV patients in the U.S. live within a one hour drive of an MRE-ready imaging center,” noted Ziegler. “We are optimistic that MRE’s high level of sensitivity can help enable earlier direct acting antiviral (DAA) therapies, and it may be possible that greater use of MRE can deliver better care at a significantly lower cost.”

Just about one-third of the locations have site-approved contact information. MRE:connect users can email Resoundant (MREinfo(at)resoundant(dot)com) where location information is still awaiting approval.

Unlisted Radiology and imaging centers that offer MRE are welcome to be included in MRE:connect by registering at http://www.resoundant.com/register.

MRE:connect can be found at http://www.resoundant.com/mre-connect

About Resoundant, Inc.

Resoundant, Inc is a medical technology company dedicated to improving patient care and diagnosis accuracy by making Magnetic Resonance Elastography (MRE) available around the world. We are based in Rochester, MN and were founded by Mayo Foundation for Medical Education & Research, Mayo Clinic physicians and researchers.

Cieplak Dental Excellence Invests in Imaging Technology for Reliable Dental Implant Treatment in La Plata, MD

Cieplak Dental Excellence recently acquired the VATECH i3D Smart Cone Beam CT imaging system to improve patient comfort and treatment accuracy. Patients in need of dental implants and other dental services can now receive treatment with a leading imaging system from Dr. Patrick Cieplak, a trusted dentist in La Plata, MD.

La Plata, MD (PRWEB) July 20, 2017

Dr. Patrick Cieplak, an experienced dentist in La Plata, MD, recently acquired the VATECH i3D Smart Cone Beam CT imaging system for his practice, Cieplak Dental Excellence. This specific model is a leading piece of technology that is used to obtain greater accuracy when placing dental implants and performing a variety of other treatments.

As a compassionate dentist in La Plata, MD, Dr. Cieplak is constantly looking for ways to improve patient comfort during treatment while simultaneously improving the accuracy and long-term outcome of common procedures. The VATECH i3D Smart Cone Beam CT imaging system helps him achieve both of these goals by increasing the precision of dental implant placement and making it possible to identify and avoid sensitive nerve structures when placing implant posts. Implant placement is a popular solution for tooth loss, and it yields positive long-term results when performed correctly. Unlike other popular tooth replacement methods, implants offer the unique benefit of maintaining jaw bone health and preventing bone degradation. When placed with assistance from a 3D CBCT imaging system, implants are more likely to deliver long-term reliability and dental functionality.

The VATECH i3D Smart Cone Beam CT imaging system captures both an Auto Panoramic image and a CT scan in one convenient, highly detailed scan. Being able to instantly see both a 2D and 3D view of the same scan has a variety of benefits. When used together, the scans reveal a detailed picture of the various dental structures and give Dr. Cieplak the ability to show patients a professional, clear image when explaining treatment plans. Dr. Cieplak applies the high level of detail offered in each scan to implement accurate dental implant placement procedures.

Dr. Cieplak invites patients with missing teeth to discover the long-term benefits of dental implants placed by a practice with leading technology. Patients who wish to receive dental implant placement from a skilled dentist in La Plata, MD, are invited to call Cieplak Dental Excellence at 301-609-9999.

About the Doctor

Dr. Patrick Cieplak is a general dentist offering personalized dental care to patients in La Plata, MD. Dr. Cieplak is dedicated to learning the latest dental techniques and has completed hundreds of hours of continuing education courses. Dr. Cieplak is one of only 3,000 dentists to receive the Academy of General Dentistry’s Master’s Degree and he is a Fellow in the International Congress of Oral Implantology as well as Associate Fellow in the American Academy of Implant Dentistry.

Centric Software Helps Grupo Cortefiel Transform Sourcing

European clothing giant improves visibility and decision-making with Centric Software PLM

CAMPBELL, Calif. (PRWEB) July 20, 2017

Centric Software announces that Grupo Cortefiel, one of Europe’s leading fashion retailers, has experienced a revolution in its sourcing process using Centric Software’s Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) solution. Centric Software is the leading PLM solution for fashion, retail, footwear, luxury, outdoor and consumer goods companies.

Grupo Cortefiel, headquartered in Madrid, Spain, is one of Europe’s largest fashion retailers in the specialized chain segment, with over 2,000 points of sale in 90 countries. The group encompasses four own brands (Cortefiel, Springfield, women’ secret and Pedro del Hierro), as well as an outlet chain, Fifty Factory. Grupo Cortefiel has been a Centric Software customer since 2013.

“We initially went live with the Springfield brand and the project included aspects such as collection management, prototype creation, technical specification development, sample reviews and materials management. We connected PLM to our ERP solution, while taking the different needs of each brand into account. The project went quite smoothly and we met our initial project goals.”

“Once Centric PLM was rolled out across the company, we began our plans to extend PLM to sourcing. Sourcing is a crucial part of the PLM puzzle for us, as buyers and designers struggled to stay up to date. We wanted Centric PLM to handle product information as well as communication with vendors, factory management and quality assurance. Working with Centric, we kicked off our sourcing project in October 2016.”

As Manel Jimenez, the Supply Chain General Manager from Grupo Cortefiel says, the company decided to use Centric’s Product Sourcing module because of its ability to improve visibility, make it easier to collaborate with suppliers, manage vendor and factory information, and create clear order timelines.

“We needed Centric’s Product Sourcing module to handle a large volume of different types of data, such as vendor contact details, social and technical factory audits, sourcing manuals for vendors, quality assurance inspection reports and design files for vendors to review. We also wanted to make it possible to create clear critical paths and timelines for order inspections, with defined milestones. It’s important for us to integrate all of our suppliers with the PLM system, and as part of the PISA project, we aimed to get at least 50 percent of them on board.”

“We are happy to report that our PISA project has been successful,” concludes Manel Jimenez. “This is a very important step for us, as it moves us from a design-focused system to one that allows us to globally manage a product as well as its delivery. Centric’s Product Sourcing module helps us keep our product sourcing teams in sync and up to date, and visibility has been improved for our buyers and designers.”

“We are able to track products through every phase of development using clear milestones and we believe our communication with suppliers will improve greatly. This will be a revolution in terms of our sourcing processes and data control, and we are quite sure to continue finding efficiencies as we extend the system to more departments and suppliers.”

“Grupo Cortefiel have been a close partner since 2013, and we are very pleased that they have successfully implemented Centric’s Product Sourcing module in the latest phase of their PLM project,” says Chris Groves, President and CEO of Centric Software. “This is the latest evolution of an excellent working relationship that we are proud to carry into the future.”

Freshworks Acquires Chatbot Platform Startup, Joe Hukum

Company enhances capabilities to help businesses build and deploy bots

San Bruno, CA (PRWEB) July 20, 2017

Freshworks, the leading provider of cloud-based business software, today announced the acquisition of Joe Hukum, a platform that enables businesses to build their own chatbots based on logical workflows. This acquisition marks Freshworks’ eighth in just under two years, as it further bolsters capabilities to strengthen its business software suite. Freshworks had earlier acquired Chatimity and Frilp, key acquisitions that are enhancing neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) based Artificial Intelligence capabilities, while Joe Hukum’s decision tree based frameworks complete key capabilities to launch chatbot-powered solutions.

Joe Hukum was founded in July 2015 by Arihant Jain, Ajeet Kushwaha, and Rahul Agarwal, who were the founding team behind two of India’s most prominent healthcare startups, HealthKart and 1mg. Joe Hukum’s technology is powered by a robust decision tree framework that automates sales, service, and support workflows, across various channels and user interfaces. The Joe Hukum team will be responsible for building bots on top of existing Freshworks products, enabling workflow automations for demand generation, knowledge management, and dynamic in-app self service.

“We are seeing strong interest from our customers on how they want to leverage chatbots as they are looking for new ways to engage with customers on their web and mobile channels,” said Girish Mathrubootham, Founder and CEO of Freshworks. “As customer preferences shift from traditional phone tree based call center support, chatbots offer a new support experience, while essentially solving the age old challenge of triaging customer inquiries and routing that to the right support agent. These are still early days for chatbots, but Joe Hukum’s innovative team and technology will help our clients better engage and support their customers.”

Consumers today spend the most amount of their time messaging, even more than what they do on social media. According to a Gartner report, by 2019, 40% of enterprises will be actively using chatbots to facilitate business processes using natural-language interactions.

“Consumer behaviour is drastically changing, perhaps faster than technology can keep up. Having helped build a successful e-commerce company in India, I realized customers are constantly looking for simpler ways to engage with businesses and chatbots offered a simple, yet powerful way to address this need,” said Arihant Jain, Co-founder of Joe Hukum. “As a founder, I could not have asked for a better outcome for Joe Hukum. Being a part of Freshworks is super exciting for all of us as it gives us a platform that provides us scale and reach and impact hundreds of thousands of customers."

Recently dubbed one of Forbes’ next billion-dollar startups, Freshworks has experienced an incredible year of growth. Each acquisition it makes not only brings new capabilities to the Freshworks suite of products but also brings intelligent and creative talent to the ever growing team.

For the seventh straight year, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University has been selected as one of the Great Colleges to Work For by The Chronicle of Higher Education, the nation’s most respected publication covering colleges and universities.

Daytona Beach, Florida (PRWEB) July 20, 2017

For the seventh straight year, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University has been selected as one of the Great Colleges to Work For by The Chronicle of Higher Education, the nation’s most respected publication covering colleges and universities.

The rankings were based on a two-part methodology: an institutional audit that captured demographics and workplace policies from each institution and a survey of employees on workforce practices. More than 45,000 people at 232 institutions participated in this year’s survey, with 79 of the schools earning the title of Great College to Work For.

Only 42 of those 79, including Embry-Riddle, were additionally named Honor Roll schools for excellence across multiple categories. Embry-Riddle won high marks in the following areas: Facilities; Workspace & Security; Job Satisfaction; Professional/Career Development Programs; Respect and Appreciation; Supervisor/Department Chair Relationship; and Work/Life Balance.

“It’s very gratifying that for the seventh year in a row, Embry-Riddle employees who responded to the Great Colleges to Work For survey have given the university their vote of confidence,” said university President Dr. P. Barry Butler. “At Embry-Riddle we offer benefits that support the work/life balance that is so essential to attracting and retaining top-tier faculty and staff.”

Embry-Riddle employs more than 2,200 faculty, staff, and administrators worldwide. Benefits include paid holidays, including the week off between Christmas and New Year’s Day, a generous personal leave program, a four-day summer workweek, a 403(b) retirement plan with Embry-Riddle gift and matching contribution, health insurance with vision and dental coverage, a telecommuting option, and a comprehensive Employee Assistance Program. A tuition waiver program offers free tuition to employees and family members, with employees allowed paid time off to attend Embry-Riddle classes.

“The Great Colleges to Work For distinction is well-known by academic jobseekers as a sign that an institution’s employees are valued and given opportunities for growth,” said Liz McMillen, editor of The Chronicle. “Any college or university on our annual list has proven that they emphasize one of their best assets: their faculty and staff.”

The full survey rankings can be found online here and will appear July 21 in The Chronicle’s Academic Workplace Special Issue.

To administer the Great Colleges to Work For survey and analyze the results, The Chronicle worked with ModernThink LLC, a strategic human capital consulting firm.

SNP Reports Increase in M&A Projects in Q1 2017

0

While the deal count has declined from 2016, the need for faster integration is climbing in order to fulfill shareholder expectations.

Dallas, TX (PRWEB) July 20, 2017

SNP is reporting a globally increased interest in intelligently automated data migration related to M&A activity in the first quarter 2017.

Market trends show Energy and Power was the leading sector, clocking a 62% increase from the previous year. The Materials sector was second in volume, despite a decrease from 2016 levels. Rounding out the top 3 was Healthcare with a 61% increase year over year. Bringing up the rear were telecom, media, and retail, which saw a 48% decline for the previous year’s period.

The US took the lead in deal making, up 16% from 2016, while Chinese transactions plummeted due to strict regulation on transactions over $2 billion dollars.

Despite the activity, the truth is most of these deals will continue with the overall trend and fail to see shareholder value, and many of the deals will result in destroying it. Dr. Steele Arbeeny, Chief Technology Officer at SNP recently addressed the key reason for this.

“The number one reason for failed M&A projects is speed of integration. Whether I’m speaking with the CIO, CFO, or CEO of a company, they all want the same thing- the technology integration and data migration done as quickly as possible, without raising the risk threshold. This eliminates a critical hurdle in the deal, so there can be shareholder value realized” Dr. Arbeeny said.

SNP has developed a method that is used by the most successful organizations to streamline their M&A project timeline. An exclusive webinar for this topic will be held on July 27th. Learn more here "M&A in a Weekend Webinar"

Keypoint Intelligence - Buyers Lab (BLI), the world’s leading independent evaluator of document imaging software, hardware, and services, today announced the winners of the first-ever BLI PaceSetter awards for Document Imaging Security.

Fairfield, NJ (PRWEB) July 20, 2017

Keypoint Intelligence - Buyers Lab (BLI), the world’s leading independent evaluator of document imaging software, hardware, and services, today announced the winners of the first-ever BLI PaceSetter awards for Document Imaging Security. These awards recognize the OEMs that offer the most impressive portfolios of hardware and solutions to help ensure device, network, and document security for their customers.

The winners for 2017–2018, based on research conducted for the North American market in mid-2017, are:

CANON U.S.A., INC.

BLI PaceSetter in Document Imaging Security 2017–2018

HP INC.

BLI PaceSetter in Document Imaging Security 2017–2018

KONICA MINOLTA BUSINESS SOLUTIONS U.S.A., INC.

BLI PaceSetter in Document Imaging Security 2017–2018

LEXMARK INTERNATIONAL, INC.

BLI PaceSetter in Document Imaging Security 2017–2018

XEROX CORPORATION

BLI PaceSetter in Document Imaging Security 2017–2018

“Organizations of all types understand the importance of data security and the privacy of sensitive information, but a weak link in the security chain is often a company’s networked MFP and printer devices,” said Jamie Bsales, Director of Software Analysis for Keypoint Intelligence - Buyers Lab. “Fortunately, manufacturers of office document technology have hardened and improved their hardware, software solutions, and services to mitigate security gaps.”

To determine which OEMs lead the market, analysts at Keypoint Intelligence conducted a first-of-its-kind, in-depth evaluation of the security ecosystems of 13 document imaging OEMs. The granular study drilled down into 140 points of potential differentiation spread across eight categories: Device Authentication, Function Control/Job Protection, Hard Drive Security, Firmware/App Integrity, Network Security, Device Security Certifications, Fleet Management Security Solutions, and other document security offerings related to but external from the devices themselves.

Canon Boasts Strong Data Loss Prevention Solutions

In the study, Canon stood out from the industry with their device certifications and device fleet management security solutions, areas which proved to be somewhat challenging for the industry as a whole. Canon also demonstrated that a high degree of security was available across a variety of its device series. When it comes to security for authentication, user tracking, and reporting, Canon markets uniFLOW as a core solution for businesses of all sizes. Uniquely, uniFLOW’s available Secure Audit Manager Express data-loss prevention module can detect keywords in a document and prevent the copying or distribution of it to proactively protect an organization’s intellectual property.

HP Brings PC/Server Security Concepts to Output Devices

In the study, HP proved itself a leader in a number of areas. One key differentiator is its FutureSmart bundle, composed of Sure Start BIOS integrity-checking detection and automatic remediation, firmware whitelisting, and run-time intrusion detection features. HP has also enhanced its security-related services portfolio with new professional services around the “Secure MPS” offering and followed with the launch of a comprehensive set of professional and fully managed, multi-vendor security services. Also of note is the unique HP JetAdvantage Security Manager solution, which centralizes and automates the process of bringing and keeping devices in compliance with an organization’s preferred security policies.

Konica Minolta Scores Best in Device Authentication

Konica Minolta landed in the top tier in the majority of the categories evaluated and received the highest score of any vendor in Device Authentication. The company’s devices also scored very well in hard drive security, function control, job protection, and device security protocols, as well as in having the entire system certified, as opposed to only one component or option. In addition to its document technology portfolio, Konica Minolta (through its All Covered subsidiary) can also provide managed security services for the entire network and all connected devices.

Lexmark’s Fleet Management Solution Focuses on Security

Lexmark stood out in the study in key hardware areas such as device authentication and hard drive security. It also scored very well in firmware and app integrity, an area that proved to be a challenge for the industry as a whole. On the software front, Lexmark’s Markvision Enterprise device management software also earned high marks when it comes to security: The solution continuously checks devices on the network and can automatically remedy any security settings that are out of conformance.

Xerox Leads in Device Certifications

Xerox received the highest score of any vendor when it came to device certifications. Xerox’s policy is to have their entire multifunction system evaluated—not just individual features or a security kit. Xerox has been a leader in ISO 15408 Common Criteria for Information Technology Security Evaluation and claims to have the most devices evaluated by this standard. Xerox also scored the highest of any of the major A3-centric manufacturers in the device firmware and application integrity category. The features and functionalities provided through their partnership with McAfee was a boost in this area.

VetStreamTV offers the estimated 133 million people in the military community films related to the veteran experience and films preferred by veterans.

“Our current library was selected to take into consideration the vast experiences of not only military personnel, but the people who love them. The veteran experience goes far beyond the military base and we want to capture those experiences as well,” said LaVonne McIver James, co-founder and president of VetStreamTV.

Included in the VetStream library are classic war films like Attack Force Z starring Mel Gibson; documentaries like The Millionaire’s Unit, the dramatic story of a group of Yale students who were the first to fly for America in WW1; and Student Academy Award nominated short Day 39, about a young soldier on his first deployment and a seasoned Ranger medic who fight to save a young mother and her unborn child on the Afghan battlefield.

Norfolk, Virginia (PRWEB) July 20, 2017

DX1, provider of the only complete dealership management platform in the powersports industry, has announced the availability of integrated EMV chip card terminals with MIC’s BankCard Program. Offered only through DX1 and the MIC, this is Verifone’s first EMV hardware/software credit card integration customized for powersports dealers.

“We applaud DX1’s decision to employ the fully integrated and turn-key MIC BankCard Program for its dealer management system,” said Tim Buche, chief executive officer and president, Motorcycle Industry Council. “DX1’s dealers will enjoy significant cost savings while also supporting the MIC’s efforts to preserve, protect and promote the motorcycle industry.”

The seamless integration between the DX1 platform and MIC BankCard Program facilitates secure transactions and efficient collection of data. Dealers utilizing the MIC BankCard Program and DX1’s complete dealership management platform will benefit from lower costs per transaction and more efficient credit card processing. Transactions are processed quickly and all data is automatically recorded in DX1.
