San Diego, CA (PRWEB) September 21, 2017

Maker Faire San Diego is coming to Balboa Park October 7-8, 2017 with the mission of entertaining and educating the innovators, the creative and the curious. Inquiring minds will not want to miss The Living Library, and The Tommy Edison Experience.

Based on the Human Library, The Living Library at Maker Faire San Diego is a collection of people from diverse backgrounds and experiences who will be on hand to share openly and candidly about their lives. Storytellers include survivors of trauma, students with special needs, and members of the blind and disabled communities. Each storyteller is an open book, ready to answer questions like, “What’s it like to be you?”

“One of our goals is to help re-humanize people from marginalized communities,” says Dr. Mel Ganus, director of Quality of Life Experiments, who is bringing The Living Library to Maker Faire San Diego. “It’s an experiment in making human connections. We are building bridges while others are building walls.”

YouTube sensation Tommy Edison, the Blind Film Critic, is famous for answering questions about what it’s like to be blind. At Maker Faire San Diego he will host a workshop where he’ll give makers a unique marketing experience by interviewing them about their projects in order to get them to clearly articulate who they are and why they do what they do with the caveat, “Explain it to me like I’m blind.” Maker Faire San Diego attendees are invited to come meet Edison and watch the fun.

Kirk Adams, president of the American Foundation for the Blind, will also be in the book collection. “This is an opportunity I don’t want to miss, a chance for people to ask me questions they’d never feel comfortable asking if they met me on a bus.” On Sunday, Adams, who has been blind since age five, and his colleague George Abbott, blind since birth, will be presenting their unique perspectives on Maker Faire San Diego, and their visions of increased inclusivity.

The Living Library will be located in the Museum of Man. Event-goers will have the opportunity to “browse” the various storytellers and ask the burning questions most are uncomfortable asking in everyday social interactions.

“Our Living Library aims to improve understanding of other perspectives and connections between people of different ages, cultures and abilities,” says Dr. Ganus. Other storytellers include elders in their 80s and 90s facing the ends of their lives, members of our veterans community living with injuries and PTSD, and our own makers, with stories of how they discovered their passions for doing what they do.

Advance tickets are available now with savings of up to 20%. Your ticket provides access to the entire Maker Faire San Diego footprint, including general admission to these museums and exclusive outdoor venues:

•     San Diego Museum of Man
•     The Old Globe
•     Japanese Friendship Garden
•     San Diego Model Railroad Museum
•     San Diego History Center
•     Fleet Science Center
•     San Diego Natural History Museum (theNAT)

G2 Crowd finds Widen Collective tops satisfaction ratings and assetSERV earns highest overall market presence score

Chicago (PRWEB) September 21, 2017

G2 Crowd, the world’s leading business software review platform, today released the Fall 2017 Digital Asset Management Software Grid report to help businesses make the best Digital Asset Management technology buying decision. Widen Collective, Libris, Extensis Portfolio, and Webdam, a Shutterstock Company were named Leaders in the report, receiving a strong customer satisfaction score with a large market presence.

Brandfolder, Wiredrive, Daminion, IntelligenceBank DAM, Flight by Canto, Bynder, Cumulus by Canto, MediaValet, Image Relay, Smartimage, Salsify Product Content Management Platform, MerlinOne, Brandworkz, Asset Bank, MarcomCentral Enterprise Edition, and NetX were named High Performers in the report, earning strong customer satisfaction marks with smaller market presence scores. Widen Collective earned the highest overall satisfaction score while assetSERV earned the highest overall market presence score.

This report also breaks down the Digital Asset Management category, based on market presence and customer satisfaction score, for Small-Business, Mid-Market, and Enterprise reviewers. At the small-business level, IntelligenceBank DAM earned the highest overall satisfaction score and Wiredrive earned the highest overall market presence score. In the mid-market segment, Libris and Brandfolder tied for the highest overall satisfaction score and Libris earned the highest overall market presence score. Finally, at the enterprise level, Widen Collective earned the highest overall satisfaction score, while assetSERV earned the highest overall market presence score.

The Grid leverages customer satisfaction data reported by authenticated users along with vendor market presence determined from social and public data. Based on a combination of these scores, each software solution is categorized as a Leader, High Performer, Contender or Niche.

Key Findings:

• Customer support - Users indicated that a knowledgeable and efficient support team is something they value in digital asset management software vendors. The top DAM products on G2 Crowd reflect that trend. With a category average "quality of support" score of 88%, the majority of Leaders and High Performers received an above average "quality of support" score from reviewers, while the majority of Contenders and Niche solutions earned below average "quality of support" scores from reviewers.
• Customization and setup – Users indicated that an important quality in digital asset management software is the ability to customize how the software platforms organize their digital media. While customization is important, users indicated that it can be time consuming and, at times, complicated. This might be why the category average "ease of setup" score of 80% was the lowest user satisfaction average of the category. However, the majority of Leaders and High Performers received above average Ease of Setup scores, while the majority of Contenders and Niche solutions received scores below the average. This might suggest that while customization can be time consuming, the products that make the customization process easy have higher user satisfaction.

About the Digital Asset Management Software Grid report:

• The report is based on more than 1,696 reviews written by business professionals.
• Of the 114 products listed in G2 Crowd’s Digital Asset Management category, the ranked products each received ten or more reviews to qualify for inclusion on the Grid.

U.S. Self-storage facility owners and operators are now turning to longtime business planning leader Wise Business Plans for the company's new stand-alone market research option, along with its easy-to-use process for creating custom business plans.

(PRWEB) September 21, 2017

And the company has responded, expanding its stand-alone business research initiative into the storage industry.

Fathym’s WeatherCloud forecasting and sensor technology increases safety and efficiency with real-time, hyper-local road weather information

(PRWEB) September 21, 2017

RONN Motor Group, Inc. (RONN), today announced a partnership with Fathym, Inc., a leading provider of IoT solutions, to integrate mobile weather sensors and forecasting into RONN Motor Group’s fleet chassis. The companies will co-develop an “Edge” IoT service platform that drives decision intelligence and driver safety features back to the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) within the vehicle.

RONN Motor Group Inc. is the automotive company behind the eco-friendly Scorpion, which features one of the most advanced real-time hydrogen fuel enhancement systems to date. The company is evolving the Scorpion into an all-electric roadster called the Phoenix, which will be equipped with a hydrogen fuel-cell range extender intended for a total estimated range of 600 miles. The Phoenix, will serve as the platform for RONN’s eco-daily drivers (EDDs), the next generation of affordable and environmentally friendly vehicles, as well as minibuses and commercial trucks.

The partnership uses Fathym’s WeatherCloud mobile sensor technology and in-vehicle road weather forecasting and warning system. The WeatherCloud service will deliver real-time observations and predictive pavement information to the RONN Motor Group vehicle platform. This data is ingested and managed by the onboard ECU to dynamically setup up the car for observed and predicted pavement traction. Additionally this partnership provides Fathym unique access to Controller Area Network (CAN) bus data generated by fleet vehicles. This additional real-time data further enhances the Fathym WeatherCloud road forecast model and the machine learning behind it.

The WeatherCloud forecast data and real-time alerts will enable drivers to take the necessary precautions needed to ensure that they arrive at their desired destination safely, all the while maintaining RONN Motor Group’s commitment to creating globally-conscious unparalleled performance vehicles.

“Mainstream road forecasts are typically based on precipitation models, but the actual conditions of the road can vary drastically by location, down to a half kilometer resolution. Snowy precipitation conditions do not always equate to snow-packed roads, for example. Fathym’s WeatherCloud forecasting model uses pavement modeling and sensor data to deliver hyper-local road weather forecasts. This technology aligns perfectly with the RONN Motor Group strategy to dynamically setup the vehicle based on pavement friction. WeatherCloud provides drivers and fleet managers increased visibility that to date has been lacking,” says Fathym CEO, Matthew Smith.

The companies will also collaborate to improve manufacturing efficiencies. As RONN Motor Group focuses on reducing manufacturing and development costs by up to 50 percent, Fathym’s data collection, management and analytics capabilities will play an integral role as a means to diagnose inefficiencies and gaps in quality control. As a result, manufacturing plants will assume optimal operating levels, ensuring higher quality and productivity, and reducing energy emissions and resource wastage.

“Fathym’s WeatherCloud solution brings a unique suite of technologies and cloud services to RONN Motor Group that will accelerate our cloud service ecosystem and applications, and integrate specialized technology to dynamically setup our vehicle platform to significantly improve driver performance and safety in adverse weather conditions,” said Ronn Ford, Chairman and CEO of RONN Motor Group.

On May 1, 2017, RONN Motor Group launched a Regulation A+ Mini-IPO that gives anyone the opportunity to invest in its company. Investment opportunities that were previously limited to high net worth individuals are becoming much more accessible to everyday investors through Regulation A+. The new rule enables both accredited and non-accredited investors to invest directly in early-stage companies at ground level.

H3 Solutions, Inc. launches unique AI bot to Microsoft Office 365 cloud — consolidates all business functions into one bot that’s trained without any code.

Manassas, VA (PRWEB) September 22, 2017

H3 Solutions, Inc., industry innovators in Office 365 solutions and cloud services, today announces the availability of Bizzy, a multifaceted, trainable bot for use in Microsoft Teams. Bizzy is both curious and capable. And that’s because Bizzy is a teachable, scalable, enterprise concierge. You train Bizzy to do things. Bizzy remembers, and takes those tasks off your plate.

How does Bizzy know what to do? Bizzy is trained by you using Microsoft Flow, an app that comes with most Microsoft Office 365 subscriptions. No code is required because Flow is a user-friendly, drag-and-drop automation tool. Flow opens the door to everyday workers to automate their work tasks then teach them to Bizzy. Once Bizzy knows a Flow, simply ask him to complete the process and he will. Bizzy “humanizes” business processes while removing the need for expensive bot development.

Thanks to Flow, third-party applications can also be integrated into Bizzy’s tasks. Product companies across many fields are building Flow connectors to access their offerings. You can create a Flow that integrates a CRM entry in Salesforce with a ticket in Zendesk then makes a record of it in a SharePoint Online list. More connectors become available in Flow each day. Simply train Bizzy with these Flow connectors and he is off and running.

Native integration with Microsoft Cognitive Services LUIS (Language Understanding Intelligent Service) provides Bizzy with even more brains! LUIS helps extend Bizzy Flows beyond simple keyword requests. Full, vernacular sentences are interpreted in terms of their intensions. LUIS can learn and adapt, making Bizzy’s logic and skills grow as well.

“We created Bizzy in response to the ever-growing need for organizations to get faster access to information and make efficient, better decisions. This should be done directly from where they are collaborating with others and getting their work done. Microsoft Teams is providing that channel,” said Mick Herres, EVP of Technology at H3S. He continued: “Bots are convenient and AI is being embraced by more of the C-Suite in organizations. However, multiple bots can be clumsy and confusing. Bizzy is an enterprise bot that consolidates your AI needs to a single interface for your users, allowing them to ask for services across your organization.”

Install Bizzy soon from the Microsoft Teams Bot Store. The standard Bizzy is available for free. A premium version of Bizzy, with extended features and higher use limits, will be available in the future. Please visit getbizzy.io for more information and demos.

For IoC's, Data Gumbo provides a blockchain-based Smart Contract to automate performance-based contracts. Data Gumbo’s new customer plans to use Smart Contracts to incentivize cost cutting by their suppliers.

Houston, Texas (PRWEB) September 22, 2017

Operators and contractors alike are referring to Data Gumbo as the 'Honest Broker'. By providing a trusted Smart Contract platform, Data Gumbo removes the manual processes and litigation from transactions. Operator and Contractor agree on a set of performance metrics with incentives for improvement, calculated daily. Data Gumbo consumes the relevant data, calculates the appropriate bonus or penalty, and executes every 24 hours automatically. Customers use the smart contracts to lock in the $10's - 100's of millions in savings available from improvements in rig efficiency.

For example, a major Energy company has determined that they make twenty-one million drill pipe connections per year. If they can save one minute per pipe connection, it will be worth $250M per year to them. Data Gumbo enable them to automate access to these savings using proprietary Smart Contracts.

Data Gumbo’s new contract is with one of the largest privately held IoC's in the US. Data Gumbo analyzes drill pipe connection and survey times. The results are the basis of smart contracts to incentivize drilling contractors to reduce expenses. In turn, drilling contractors use the smart contracts as a differentiator for their service.

"We're very excited to be selected by a major IoC as their smart contract service" says Andrew Bruce, CEO of Data Gumbo. "This is validation of our application of blockchain to solve the mistrust problem in our industry"

EagleView’s digital property card helps assessors conduct faster, more accurate valuations.

Bothell, WA (PRWEB) September 22, 2017

Eagle View Technologies (“EagleView®”), a leading provider of aerial imagery and property data analytics, today announces EagleView Property Information Card (EPIC)™, a subscription-based digital database for local government appraisers and assessors.

Cloud consultants leveraging automated analytics for cloud planning, migration, and management can increase customer satisfaction and generate more revenue

Philadelphia, PA (PRWEB) September 22, 2017

Cloudamize, a leader in cloud computing analytics, today announced that its partner program has achieved unprecedented growth to date in 2017. Since January 2017, Cloudamize has tripled the number of new partners it has signed and has achieved a 130% increase in partner channel revenue compared to January through August of 2016. Further, the Cloudamize platform was used to support 775 cloud migration assessments so far this year, a 57% increase since this time last year.

In addition to Amazon, Microsoft, and Google, Cloudamize partners include NTT Data, Accenture, Softchoice, Virtusa, Catapult, Nuvens, AutoData, Avor IT, Synoptek, Inframon, Optio Data, CWPS, Worksighted, Instillery, Astadia, DataCom, Sol-tec, and Scalar.

"Our partner channel is growing because there are many unknowns when migrating to the cloud, and in-depth, automated analytics is the only way to move to and operate in the public cloud with efficiency and accuracy,” said Khushboo Shah, Head of Cloudamize. “We remove the guesswork from cloud decision-making, enabling our partners to significantly reduce migration time for their customers, improve client satisfaction and retention, take on more projects, and ultimately drive more profitability.”

Cloudamize’s high precision analytics and powerful automation empower companies to make accurate cloud decisions faster, easier, and with more confidence, so they can accelerate cloud migration and maximize cloud ROI. The platform provides analysis and recommendations to calculate and compare cloud TCO, develop phased migration plans, right-size cloud deployments, and manage cloud costs.

The Cloudamize Partner Program benefits System Integrators, Managed Service Providers, and Value Added Resellers. It provides two different license consumption models - pay-as-you-go and bulk purchase - enabling companies to choose which models best fits them. Price is determined by the number of virtual and physical machines to be analyzed (machine bulk purchase discounts are provided) and which edition partners sign up for.

All partner program types offer free white labeling, full support for on-boarding and sales training, and the Cloudamize Partner Dashboard provides a single console for partners to manage all of their client projects. The Cloudamize partner program also includes enhanced, independently audited policies for partner privacy to ensure strict rules of engagement on opportunity management and confidentiality requirements.

Benefits of the Cloudamize Partner Program include:

• Scale your offering and differentiate your cloud business: Improve your value proposition and increase close rates by adding an automated, data-driven approach to your cloud offerings.
• Accelerate cloud adoption among enterprises: Remove sales friction at the cloud TCO conversions level.
• Increase profitability: Reduce the time to migrate your clients to the cloud by 65-80%, so you can take on more cloud migration projects.
• Increase customer satisfaction and retention: Enable your clients to achieve their optimal cloud environment and improve their time to cloud value.
• Build brand credibility: Put more credibility behind your recommendations and overall brand by using high-precision analytics to inform your planning and execution.
• Standardize your cloud analytics methodology: Implement a single, repetitive analysis methodology from initial cloud migration assessment through ongoing cost management for all of your clients across all company locations.

Chicago, IL (PRWEB) September 22, 2017

Ocean Tomo Transactions, LLC will auction more than 1,000 HP Inc. patents with the Ocean Tomo Bid-Ask™ Market, the public voice brokerage platform developed by Dean Becker and James E. Malackowski. The auction will take place thru October 20, 2017.

Together Becker and Malackowski created the first live public multi-lot auction of patents in 2006. “We are pleased that HP is leveraging the innovative new Bid-Ask Market sales platform to sell patents that represent research investments made over many years”, explains James E. Malackowski, Chief Executive Officer of Ocean Tomo.

HP's 1070 patents have been grouped into 45 Lots, averaging 24 issued patents each, across 12 technology areas: Printing, Computing, Imaging, Network Services, Personal Communication Systems, Life Science & Microfluid, Mobile, Tablet, Telecommunications, Projectors, Sensors, photovoltaic, RFID and Gaming. These patents represent decades of proprietary R&D effort by HP. We anticipate notable interest in these technologies as the patents for sale have been cited by more than 1,700 companies in their own subsequent patent applications.

The HP auction will be held in both English and Mandarin with brokers in both the U.S. and China. Payments can be made in USD or RMB. Ocean Tomo Bid-Ask professionals located in the U.S. and in China can manage the needs of buyers in their local time zones and in their native languages.

About Ocean Tomo Bid-Ask™ Market

The Ocean Tomo Bid-Ask™ Market(OTBA) was built to further enhance Intellectual Property (IP) liquidity and transaction transparency. OTBA serves a broad community of active buyers and sellers, providing a platform to purchase or sell patents and patent applications globally. This market is supported by Ocean Tomo and affiliate international voice brokers.

OTBA is a highly efficient platform able to quickly clear patent transitions through a unique blend of technology and professional services. OTBA is currently available in both English and Mandarin (with other language offerings forthcoming). Traditional auction markets are seller driven – buyers are limited to what is offered for sale. The Ocean Tomo Bid-Ask Market equally services buyers and sellers. Buyers can now efficiently post anonymous bids resulting in prompt notification of the patent owner by Ocean Tomo.

The on-demand Hadron platform supports both on-premises and cloud-based environments and ensures sensitive and private data stays protected during audits

Orlando, FL (PRWEB) September 25, 2017

Microsoft Ignite Conference – Project Hosts, Inc. and Netmail, Inc. announced today that they have teamed up to deliver Netmail’s Hadron Data Auditing and eDiscovery services to healthcare organizations as an on-demand service from a HIPAA/HITRUST compliant Azure Cloud. Netmail will be demoing their Hadron solution in a HIPAA/HITRUST Azure Cloud at the Microsoft Ignite #MSIgnite conference in Orlando, FL, September 25-29, in booth #1244.

“Running Netmail Hadron in Project Hosts' HIPAA/HITRUST compliant Azure Cloud allows healthcare organizations to audit data for HIPAA compliance in both on-premises and cloud locations,” said Frederic Bourget, CTO at Netmail. “This ensures that sensitive data stays compliant while performing audits and retraction from an on-demand public cloud."

“This is about speed-to-value, accelerating innovation, and lowering costs. By deploying Hadron in Project Hosts’ Azure Security Container, Netmail’s auditing and eDiscovery solution became HIPAA attested and HITRUST-common security framework compliant in an immediate, turnkey manner,” said Hector Rodriguez, director, Microsoft Worldwide Healthcare at Microsoft Corp. “With Microsoft Azure and Project Hosts’ security container, ISVs can secure ePHI and implement cloud solutions without the need to incur the effort and expense required to design, implement, document and audit the application-level security controls required for full regulatory compliance.”

As american healthcare organizations are required to meet HIPAA regulations, they may be required to perform regular audits to find confidential information such as PHI, PCI, and PII. When these organizations start moving to the cloud, having broad visibility into that data on the cloud and on-premises becomes increasingly difficult. Netmail Hadron provides a secure data auditing solution that will enable healthcare organizations to easily identify and view all of their sensitive data no matter where it is located before and after migrating this data to the cloud.

Now, organizations with sensitive information that need to comply with Federal, State and other international privacy regulations such as European Community GDPR and Canada’S PIPEDA, can perform searches for audits from a compliant cloud. Netmail Hadron allows investigations and eDiscovery on file systems, email archives, SharePoint, SharePoint O365, and file sharing solutions such as Box, Egnyte and Citrix ShareFile.

“Project Hosts provides Azure security containers that, together with supporting policies and procedures, implement controls related to access, authentication, encryption, auditing, business continuity, change management, incident response, privacy, annual assessment and other areas required for compliance with leading standards, including HIPAA, HITRUST, IS0 27001, and FedRAMP,” said Scott Chapman, CEO and Co-founder of Project Hosts, Inc. “When ISVs or healthcare entities choose to deploy their applications in these containers, they inherit compliance with those standards, allowing them to deliver compliant cloud solutions to their customers.”

By leveraging Project Hosts’ HIPAA/HITRUST Azure Security Container, ISVs can allocate more resources to develop innovative software applications that improve the customer experience and maximize operational efficiencies. ISVs can rely on Project Hosts to gain HIPAA/HITRUST compliance for their application, while also gaining access to Azure experts who can architect, build, scale and provide advanced DRaaS, backup and archiving for their SaaS solutions. For more information visit: https://www.projecthosts.com/csp-hipaa-hitrust-azure-clouds.aspx

About Netmail

Discover your data wherever it resides through smart search and eDiscovery tools that connect to multiple platforms including Microsoft Exchange/O365, Box, Citrix ShareFile, file systems, Google, Amazon, and GroupWise. Sanitize any sensitive data to ensure compliance with HIPAA/HITECH, PCI, and any state PII regulations. Reduce costs by consolidating legacy archive systems, PST backups, and old mail systems into low cost archive storage in the cloud or on premise. Netmail also provides Migration Services and tools to help companies move quickly to the Netmail Cloud or between any public cloud collaboration services. http://www.netmail.com

About Project Hosts

Project Hosts is a cloud solutions provider (CSP) that specializes in securing, managing, and meeting regulatory security compliance standards for Windows and Linux applications in Azure for customers and ISVs. Our comprehensive set of Azure managed services extend Microsoft’s security beyond the infrastructure (IaaS) and platform (PaaS) level to protect entire applications at the Software (SaaS) level. We implement the most rigorous cloud security standards including FedRAMP DoD SRG IL 4/5, FedRAMP Moderate and High, HIPAA / HITRUST, and ISO 27001. Healthcare organizations, federal, state, and local government agencies, and enterprises rely on us to ensure they have a cloud solution that meets their business needs, their budget, and most importantly, protects their business, employees, and patient’s data from unauthorized access or theft. http://www.projecthosts.com

Updated iOS app with Apple ARKit support unleashes close to 2 million models into the wild.

New York, NY (PRWEB) September 25, 2017

With roughly half a billion iOS users gaining access to ARKit with the recent release of iOS11, Sketchfab is poised to bring mobile AR (Augmented Reality) to a massive audience.

The 3D platform’s app has been updated today to support the new functionality allowing users to open up the entire Sketchfab library of close to 2 million assets and pull them into the real world.

From educational uses in the classroom to entertaining animations in the palm of your hand, the move provides users access to the largest AR library on the planet no matter where they are. And for content creators and publishers, the platform is the easiest way to push 3D content to AR without using a single line of code.

Tech evangelist Robert Scoble wrote, “Probably the most useful of the AR apps I've downloaded so far.”

Sketchfab co­founder and CEO, Alban Denoyel says, “Mobile AR lets you navigate 3D content in a much more natural and intuitive way than a 2D screen. You can move around any object or scene with 6 degrees of freedom, just like you would in real life, or in VR, but without the limitations of either. It’s really a new medium in that sense. AR also provides a great way to get the sense of scale of a virtual thing, which is very hard to do without the additional context provided by mixed reality.”

To learn more and to see the app in action, head on over to today’s blog announcement. The updated app is available starting today from the App Store.

About Sketchfab, Inc.

Enter new dimensions. With a community of over one million creators, we are the world’s largest platform to publish, share, and discover 3D content on web, mobile, in VR and AR.

Our technology integrates with every major 3D creation tool and publishing platform and supports almost every 3D format directly through our site or using one of our official exporters. Using our universal 3D & VR player, your creations can be embedded on any web page and every major network including Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, LinkedIn, Wordpress, Behance, DeviantArt and Kickstarter.

Sketchfab is proud to be the official 3D publishing partner of Adobe Photoshop, Facebook, Twitter, Microsoft Hololens, Intel RealSense and more.
