The acquisition further strengthens 10Pearls’ capabilities in product development, information security, agile development and DevOps.

Herndon, Virginia (PRWEB) September 13, 2017

10Pearls, a digital development company based in Washington D.C., has acquired ProQual-IT, an information technology services provider that specializes in biometrics and identity management. ProQual-IT’s founder and CEO, James (Jim) Annulis, will be joining 10Pearls’ management team, and all ProQual-IT employees will become 10Pearls team members.

“We know that identity management and biometrics will continue to be essential components of world-class digital experiences. That’s why we’ve joined forces with ProQual-IT,” said Imran Aftab, CEO of 10Pearls. “As an end-to-end digital technology services partner working on our clients’ mission-critical initiatives, we consider it our responsibility to stay ahead of our clients’ needs and continue to add value for them. This allows our clients to truly lean on us, so they can focus on business acceleration.”

As more and more companies invest in engaging with their customers digitally, they need better ways of confirming the identity of the customer on the other side of the screen. Simultaneously, today’s savvy consumers expect the businesses they patronize to offer convenient, enjoyable experiences. Identity management and biometrics let security and customer experience exist in harmony. New mechanisms for authenticating identity provide more natural, less intrusive experiences for customers without compromising security.

“The recent Equifax data breach will make already skeptical consumers even more worried about the safety of their personal information,” said Aftab. “Even the largest, most mature businesses are vulnerable. If businesses want to interact with customers online, they need to establish trust. Behind every digital product, there must be a strategy to address information security.”

Annulis sees the acquisition as a natural fit for both companies: “I’m very excited about joining the 10Pearls team,” said Annulis. “As a combined entity, we can provide a full suite of technology services that businesses need. Together we will have a bigger impact for our clients.”

Started by a couple who wants to provide their customers high quality time pieces for a fair price, Teleio creates swiss movement watches using the highest quality materials without the inflated markup prices.

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) September 13, 2017

Teleio, a new type of watch company focusing on craftsmanship and materials to offer premium time pieces without the inflated markup, has introduced affordable Swiss movement time pieces available on Kickstarter for up to 40 percent off suggested retail.

“After years of research and networking with top watch manufacturers, we realized that many popular watch brands use subpar materials and add inflated markup to their watch prices,” said Teleio Co-founder Dmitriy Advolodkin. “Using the best watch-making parts and materials, Teleio represents a luxurious watch – but you don’t have to pay an arm and a leg to own one.”

Teleio’s features include:

  • Swiss Ronda Movement: A high quality time-keeping mechanism used only by in the highest quality watches
  • Sapphire Crystal Glass: A scratch-resistant glass cover that maintains its new look for years
  • Top Grain Leather Watch Bands: Premium leather bands known for maintaining their form over
  • Surgical-Grade Steel: A durable steel designed to withstand corrosive elements.

Teleio is available in four styles for men (Apollo, Poseidon, Hades and Ares) and four for women (Athena, Artemis, Aphrodite and Iris).

All Teleio watch straps are also easily interchangeable, allowing users to easily mix and match any watch face with any of the fine leather straps. Each watch comes with one strap – with additional straps available for $30.

Advolodkin, along with co-founder Tasia Geros, note that Teleio Watches were purposefully designed with no logos on the watch faces so they could distinguish their products with a clean and modern look, rather than excessive branding.

“When you buy a Teleio watch, you're paying for a high quality, swiss movement time piece engineered from premium parts and materials,” Advolodkin said. “When you purchase watches from other leading brands, you’re paying for inflated markup prices associated with the brand name itself. Even those watches that use our same materials can cost up to $500, but you can pre-order one of our rime pieces on Kickstarter for only $90.”

Worcester Polytechnic Institute Professor Developing Computer Models to Better Diagnose Concussions

Professor Songbai Ji is using neuroimaging and computer modeling to help create enhanced tools for sideline diagnosis of concussions in contact sports

Worcester, Mass. (PRWEB) September 13, 2017

As fall sports seasons get under way and concerns related to concussions in contact sports continue to grow, a Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) biomedical engineering professor is developing better tools to understand the mechanics of traumatic brain injuries in athletes.

With two grants from the National Institutes of Health, Songbai Ji is using advanced neuroimaging to develop highly specific computer models of the head and brain to better diagnose concussions in real time.

Ji, whose research integrates neuroimaging into existing brain injury research, focuses on how injuries affect functionally important neural pathways and specific areas of the brain. While there are numerous studies that essentially view the brain as a single unit to determine injury, Ji says, certain components like white matter neural tracts (tissue that helps coordinate communication between different regions of the brain) deep within the brain are more vulnerable and thus may be better indicators of injury.

Ji is developing a sophisticated head injury computer model to produce a strain map as part of a four-year $1.5 million NIH grant, titled “Accumulated white matter fiber strain from repetitive head impacts in contact sports.” Co-principal investigators include colleagues from Dartmouth College, Indiana University School of Medicine, and medical device developer Simbex. In a separate two-year, $461,545 NIH grant, titled “Model-based cumulative analysis of on-field head impacts in contact sports,” Ji is working to make the model simulation in real time.

“Typically it would take hours to produce a detailed strain map for each impact to determine if someone has a concussion,” said Ji. “But we are developing a model simulation in real time.”

Sports concussions have been a growing concern for years. According to the most current data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in 2012, nearly 330,000 children aged 19 or younger were treated in emergency rooms across the United States for sports and recreation-related injuries that included a diagnosis of concussion or traumatic brain injury.

Ji envisions that, in the future, an athlete on the field could be wearing protective gear, such as a helmet or mouthguard, equipped with an impact sensor. When an athlete’s head is struck, the sensor would record the acceleration, which would provide input to the computer model.

Because Ji will have pre-computed various strain maps into a computer, athletic trainers could quickly retrieve a strain map of the blow that could be used to assess injury risk.

“But the computational cost is now too high for real-world applications,” Ji said, “and that’s why we are also developing a real-time simulation technique.”

Ji added that many current concussion studies are looking at acceleration magnitudes, much like a “hit count” – the number of times an athlete’s head has been hit – rather than considering how many times a specific brain region experiences a certain level of strain and deformation, which is likely more related to the extent of the actual injury. Ji’s lab is looking at the role such repeated straining plays in the severity of concussions.

In a recently published paper in Biomechanics and Modeling in Mechanobiology, Ji and his research associates found that, in addition to the findings about deep white matter, a rigorous cross-validation of injury prediction performance has been lacking in brain injury studies. They proposed a general framework to address this issue in future studies.

“I am very encouraged by the research and think that we can make an impact in this crucial health area,” Ji says. “My research team understands just how important it is to advance concussion research for athletes of both genders and of all ages.”

Join the live workshop to learn from thought leaders on the latest innovations in Credit Management in SAP S/4HANA® Finance

London, UK (PRWEB) September 13, 2017

HighRadius Corporation will host an online workshop featuring SAP on the topic “3 steps in Credit Management to Reduce Bad-Debt by 30% and Support Growth” on September 14th at 1:00 PM BST. Attendees of the workshop will learn a proven three-step process to scale credit management processes and reduce bad-debt.

A study by the Hackett Group found that the top 1000 non-financial European organizations have €1 Billion in excess working capital. Given this backdrop, CFOs are increasingly looking at credit departments to help commercial teams in business growth by reinvesting this excess capital into profitable customer segments. However, most credit teams are caught up in day-to-day tactical operations, including onboarding customers, setting credit limits and unblocking credit holds, and are thus unable to adequately address these strategic maneuvers.

In the upcoming online workshop, Christina Sievert, Solution Consultant, SAP, and Jay Tchakarov, VP, Product Management and Marketing, HighRadius, will discuss best practices and advanced technology for improved customer master data, faster customer onboarding, effective blocked order management and real-time credit reviews, all which may serve to speed up processing work – freeing up time for more strategic initiatives.

Registered attendees of this live, online event will learn the latest innovations in S/4HANA Finance and Artificial Intelligence technology that double the productivity and scale credit management operations. The session will also feature an interactive Q&A session as David and Jay field questions on the key capabilities of the SAP S/4HANA® Finance suite, SAP® Cloud Platform and SAP Fiori® 2.0.

Christina states, “S/4HANA is seeing a 100% adoption year-over-year. CFOs rely on credit teams to not only control receivables risk, but also enable business growth. S/4HANA Finance powered by machine learning, in conjunction with Fiori 2.0 and the SAP Cloud Platform, provides all the necessary tools that credit teams need to not just meet, but exceed CFO expectations.”

Adds Jay, “At HighRadius, our mission is to deliver value in the credit-to-cash space with our Integrated Receivables offerings. We are delighted that HighRadius™ solutions work seamlessly with S/4HANA to help credit leaders reduce credit risk exposure and bad-debt.”

Vision-Box Launches New On-the-move Facial Biometric Solution for Border Control and Passenger Identification

$

Being unveiled at AFCEA’s 2017 Federal Identity Forum & Homeland Security Conference in Washington, the Seamless Totem™ revolutionizes the travel experience, offering a new passenger interaction model via “on-the-move” processes and new facial recognition technology.

Washington, USA (PRWEB) September 16, 2017

The travel industry is changing as worldwide passenger volume increases significantly every year. Airports and airlines have realized they must adopt new strategies to proactively support capacity growth, as well as, lower operational costs, identify new revenue streams, and improve passenger flow for a seamless experience.

In parallel, law enforcement authorities are coping with the challenge of evolving security threats and must enhance national security, accurately identify individuals crossing borders, and protect a traveler’s identity. The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is deploying new biometric technologies to verify the identity of travelers at both arrivals and departures. In coordination with other stakeholders, CBP is deploying capabilities to allow automated identity verification using standard traveler data and face biometric verification. These capabilities effectively allow the traveler to use only his or her face and eliminating the need for presenting boarding passes or secure documents during travel.

At the AFCEA 2017 Federal Identity Forum & Homeland Security in Washington, Vision-Box is launching the Seamless Totem™ - an industry game-changer, revolutionizing passenger experience, security and efficiency in operations.

A new multi-context biometric totem solution sets the basis for Seamless Travel, offering a quick enrollment & recognition modality to identify travelers. The Seamless Totem™ features new face detection capabilities to be used in a variety of contexts, from check-in, through border control, to boarding, and also usable at land borders or seaports.

Advancing the concept of the non-stop and contactless airport passenger journey, Vision-Box is presenting a new on-the-move, contactless, streamlined experience for travelers, which eliminates stops at control points, representing the next evolutionary step in the way citizens and passengers interact with travel stakeholders or the government.

The new traveler interaction points are self-service, with minimum size and environmental footprint. Biometrically enabled for speedy on-the-go transactions, Internet of Things (IoT) ready for full connectivity with a common-use orchestration platform, modular for maximum flexibility and ease of operations, The Seamless Totem™ offers exceptional human factors with new personalized engagement based on state-of-the-art Artificial Intelligence (AI) and smart ergonomics technologies.

Additionally, The Seamless Totem™ solves the challenge of biometric capture quality as well as recognition at both short and long range with the new high-end cameras which can literally follow passengers as they move. The Seamless Totem™ significantly improves imaging capabilities, capturing a high-resolution ICAO-compliant photo of every traveler, on the move and in real time; selecting the best image to be matched against the images already on file. A high quality biometric data input is then provided to perform the match against the reference images. These benefits effectively optimize back office operations, generate efficiencies and allow to focus on actual exceptions or law enforcement situations.

When launching the new solution, CEO Miguel Leitmann said «Deploying an integrated biometrically enhanced solution across the US with the new multifunction biometric totem for enrollment and identification will represent a huge boost in traveler experience and public safety. The new IoT device puts forward the most efficient and reliable facial recognition technology ever, with a low impact in the environment and minimal disruption in people flow. It is made possible by capturing a high quality photo of every individual, on-the-move, as the traveler naturally walks at normal pace. While regular travelers will move seamlessly across travel hubs, such as airports, seaports or land borders, Border Protection authorities can dedicate their full attention in managing exceptions and urgency situations».

In fact, besides establishing a new standard in traveler experience, collecting high quality data from a variety of sources will enhance the matching process against government databases as well as improve the ability to deploy important analytics to improve security. The Seamless Totem™ offers an accurate establishment of the identity of individuals travelling, reliable vetting of foreign visitors, and the immediate and unequivocal recognition of those overstaying their visas or listed as suspects.

The Seamless Totem™ is also adaptable to Civil ID, presenting a reliable biometric and biographic enrollment as well as friction-less authentication tool. Citizen-centric, fully connected and offering the best-in-market image quality, the new Vision-Box Seamless Totem™ enables more secure borders and the integrity of Identity in the fast evolving Digital Era.

RedJade is a provider of industry-leading sensory software. The company is announcing an important upgrade to its website.

Redwood City, California (PRWEB) September 16, 2017

RedJade, a leading provider of sensory software at http://redjade.net, is proud to announce the first phase of an important website upgrade. The company has revised its website, adding new information pages and a blog as the first phase in a website overhaul.

"We're excited at this first phase of our website overhaul," explained Steve Willis, Vice President at RedJade. "Our first goal is to beef up the information provided on all variations of user queries on sensory software, such as sensory analysis software or sensory testing software. Our next phase will be a complete overhaul from top to bottom of the website."

REASONS TO CHOOSE REDJADE SENSORY SOFTWARE

As part of the information upgrade to the website, new content has been added to supplement images and cornerstone articles. For example, the informational page on sensory software explains three key reasons to choose RedJade as a sensory software provider. First, there is the fact that RedJade is the only sensory analysis software that was developed by leading experts in the sensory science field. Second, there is the fact that RedJade was born in Silicon Valley, allowing it to leverage key talent in the software development industry. And third, the software is easy-to-use and intuitive. Finally, it should be pointed out that interested parties can click on the 'Schedule a Demo' link at the top of the website to request a no obligation software demo and trial. By making it easy to experience RedJade in a hands-on fashion, the new website hopes to encourage more people in the industry to experience RedJade's superior quality. Another important fact is that there are drill downs to more specific queries such as sensory analysis software at http://redjade.net/sensory-analysis-software/, reaching out, in that way, to Internet searches who have specific needs in mind.

ABOUT REDJADE SENSORY SOFTWARE

RedJade has redefined the sensory industry with RedJade (http://redjade.net), a sensory software application that raises the bar on what to expect from software. As pioneers in the sensory field since 1974, the company spent years evaluating software solutions that could bring testing processes to the digital age. The entrepreneurs at RedJade couldn't find any, so they developed one. The result is the only sensory software made with the expertise, insights and track record of a leading sensory analysis firm. The company's software developers are among the brightest minds in Silicon Valley. Combine those two factors, and the sensory software industry gets RedJade - there is simply no other product like it in the marketplace.

Benefits Guru™, an analytics driven decision support tool, simplifies the decision-making process when enrolling in employee benefits. Users answer a few questions and receive personalized plan recommendations which provides confidence in the benefits they ultimately enroll in. Benefits Guru™ uses data analytics and machine learning technology to pull together everything needed to provide the user custom plan suggestions.

Dallas, TX (PRWEB) September 16, 2017

TBX® , an industry leader in benefits enrollment, administration, and education technology, announced today the release of Benefits Guru™, an analytics driven decision support tool designed to eliminate the confusion and frustration of the generic employee benefit enrollment experience while providing customized plan suggestions based on individual needs.

“Countless studies have shown that most people don't understand insurance basics and they aren’t taking the time to research their choices. This is because experience has led them to the conclusion that it is a time consuming, complicated and even stressful undertaking. We knew there was something missing in the process and that there had to be a better way. We wanted to point the employee in the right direction with as little effort on their part as possible so that they can make an informed and confident decision regarding their benefit decisions for them and their family,” said Buck Wagner, Chief Marketing Officer.

TBX® President and CEO Joe Fernandez added “Benefits Guru™ simplifies the decision-making process for the user. They answer a few questions and immediately receive personalized plan recommendations which provides confidence in the benefits they ultimately enroll in. Benefits Guru™ uses data analytics and machine learning technology to pull together everything needed to provide the user custom plan suggestions. So, much like no one gets the same Google search results, has the same Facebook feed, or sees exactly the same product offerings from Amazon, employees no longer have to settle for a one size fits all approach to something as personal as benefits."

Benefits Guru™ is available now to new and existing clients of TBX® via The Benefits eXpert platform. For more information on Benefits Guru™ and TBX® contact info(at)tbxbenefits.com or visit thebenefitseXpert.com

Headquartered in Dallas, Texas with offices around the country, TBX® is the industry leader in online benefit administration, enrollment and education. TBX® provides customized, cutting edge self-enrollment technology as well as comprehensive solutions for ACA, Tele-Med, COBRA, Advocacy, and more.

New Payment Technology Helps Businesses Add 1.5% to Profit Margins for B2B & B2G Transactions Without Having to Increase Sales Volume

Revolution Payments offers is a proprietary payment solution that automatically that updates all B2B & B2G credit card orders to Level 3 interchange rates whether processed online or entered manually on your PC or mobile device

(PRWEB) September 16, 2017

Revolution Payments offers a proprietary payment solution that automatically updates all B2B & B2G credit card orders to Level 3 interchange rates whether processed online or entered manually on your PC or mobile device.

Sean Jones, President of Revolution Payments explains: "Visa and MasterCard use “interchange fees” to determine how much businesses pay an issuing bank each time a credit card is accepted and amounts to 75%-90% of the fees businesses pay to accept credit cards."

What the banks and credit card processing companies may not have shared is that for business-to-business and government purchases, the interchange fees fall into one of 3 processing categories - Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 - with 1 being the highest rates and 3 being the lowest.

Revolution Payments’ offers a proprietary B2B payment solution. For all credit card transactions, whether processed online or entered manually on your PC or mobile, their system automatically attaches details to every transaction that update all credit card orders to Level 3 interchange rates.

On average, this lowers the cost of accepting B2B & B2G credit card transactions on average by 1.0% to 1.5%., with companies seeing as high as $3,000-$11,000 per month in savings.

Merchants could try to manually add the necessary Level 3 processing details to receive level 3 interchange rates, but it’s pretty complex, with over 400 different interchange rates based on industry, method of card acceptance, type of card used, and size of purchase.

The Revolution Payments’ Gateway automates the Level 3 updating of credit card payments – making the complex incredibly simple, with virtually 100% accuracy.

Merchants interested in learning more about Revolution payments should contact Sean Jones at sean(at)revolution-payments(dot)com

XLIVE 2017 Esports Recap - XLIVE united trailblazers in the burgeoning industry of esports under one roof at its inaugural 2017 Esports Summit, an event unlike any other of its kind and the ultimate hub for anyone involved in the Esports community. Taking place in NYC this past August 22-23, XLIVE’s Esports Summit offered an exclusive opportunity for attendees to learn about current industry trends, interact with key players, discuss the changing billion dollar landscape, and preview where the culture is headed as it grows in popularity.

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) September 16, 2017

XLIVE united trailblazers in the burgeoning industry of esports under one roof at its inaugural 2017 Esports Summit, an event unlike any other of its kind and the ultimate hub for anyone involved in the Esports community. Taking place in NYC this past August 22-23, XLIVE’s Esports Summit offered an exclusive opportunity for attendees to learn about current industry trends, interact with key players, discuss the changing billion dollar landscape, and preview where the culture is headed as it grows in popularity.

XLIVE Esports Summit was the first senior level forum of its kind, designed by XLIVE directors to provide a platform for stakeholders and professional sports franchises to discuss the impact that Esports will have on the future of the sports and entertainment industries. A strong emphasis at this year’s inaugural event was placed on the importance of women being a driving force in the industry as it continues its rapid expansion worldwide, accounting for one in three American PC and console players. With more than 250 million fans worldwide, competitive gaming is primed to play a key role in growing and supporting this demographic, yet women are still noticeably underrepresented; XLIVE brought this topic to the center stage with the statistic-based panel, The Data-Driven Truth about Women and Esports and the straightforward panel, The Future is Female - How Women are Playing a Crucial Role in the Growth of Esports.

Among top highlights accessible to attendees throughout the two day conference were sessions covering topics that ranged from hosting Esports events (Our House is Your House) to exploring why traditional professional sports teams are getting involved in the Esports market (Game On). Each carefully crafted panel featured experts from some of the world’s biggest venues and sports teams. Our House is Your house brought representatives from many of the world’s most prominent venues including Madison Square Garden, The O2, Staples Center, MGM Grand, and Barclays Center to discuss why they have made the move to play host to international Esports tournaments over the last couple of years. Turning a sharp focus on the investment aspect of the growing industry, Game On brought insight from teams such as The Golden State Warriors, Philadelphia 76ers, Miami Heat, and the Sacramento Kings to review their objectives for entering the Esports community while sharing their vision for introducing Esports to new audiences.

Supplementing the interactive panels were robust keynotes and intimate fireside chats, bringing together executives from major companies such as NFL, Electronic Arts, Verizon, and Ultimate Media Ventures -- to name a few. Three time NBA Champion Rick Fox, now of Vision Venture Partners, alongside his team opened up the summit with the first keynote of the event, where they talked about their Esports team, Echo Fox, and how Rick Fox went from an NBA champion to taking on the world of Esports. In a dynamic meeting of the minds, top execs Chris Halpin, Chief Strategy Officer & SVP — Consumer Products of the NFL and Todd Sitrin, SVP and General Manager for Electronic Art’s Competitive Gaming Division sat down with attendees during their joint Fireside Chat to discuss the intersection of professional sports and competitive gaming and how each industry may learn from each other going forward.

Taking a cue from the industry on which the summit focused on, XLIVE pitted CEOs against one another in the ultimate Playstation tournament at the very first CEO Throwdown. Executives in attendance had the opportunity to play one another in a Street Fighter battle royale, with the winner receiving bragging rights, a donation made to the charity of their choice, and a free trip to XLIVE’s annual “live event” conference in Las Vegas this December. This year’s Champion was Gankstars’ Jeff Chau who also delivered a Keynote during the conference.

Looking ahead, XLIVE will continue its quest to deliver the very best knowledge in live event and festival production as they gear up for their highly anticipated annual industry conference taking place in Las Vegas this December 10-13, 2017. Stay tuned for more info on programming, speakers and activities!
