The VOQUZ Group, a leading system integrator and provider of Software Asset Management solutions for SAP presents the latest release of its SAP license optimization software samQ at the DSAG congress 26th-28th September 2017 in Bremen, Germany. In exhibit hall 5, booth E14 VOQUZ experts will demonstrate version 3.0 live.

Ismaning, Germany (PRWEB) September 27, 2017

This release offers a new module, which will make the results of the yearly system measurement more transparent for clients. The LAW workbench compares the results of the SAP tools LAW with the results of samQ and will alert about discrepancies.

"Usually SAP requests a self-audit by their customers on system usage in the second half of the year. By using samQ, the system measurement can be automated and centrally governed," says Martin Koegel, Director Business Development at VOQUZ. "Within samQ’s new LAW Workbench, results are traceable, as there is a new drill-down down to user and client level."

Additionally, samQ 3.0 offers a new feature for authorization analysis, which identifies if the SAP user is working based on certain authorizations or if there is a possible authorization overhang. samQ correctly assigns license types based on usage activity and can now also compare this to existing authorizations. "samQ optimizes the user licenses based on activity by default, but many SAP users apply role and authorization concepts for licensing. Often this can cause over-licensing as authorizations are not completely used as they are granted," explains Martin Koegel.

In addition, many existing features have been improved. The samQ report is interactive and allows a precise analysis of the individual result values via drill-downs. The graphic presentation in Fiori dashboard has been optimized further, helping license managers see the optimal overview of consumption data at a glance. Compliance alerts give users notice ahead of time, when the amount of a certain license-type has been used or critical engine and package consumption has been reached.

The pricing of samQ licenses also has been revised. Future customers will have all modules of the license optimization tool available within the standard tier. No extra costs occur for using the Fiori dashboard and the system measurement module. "It’s our mission to make SAP licensing as easy as possible. We achieve this by offering a simple licensing model," says Martin Koegel.

samQ is the leading software for SAP license management that allows a fully automated and continuous analysis of SAP user activities. It assesses this usage data with the correct license type and optimizes the overall license inventory. Automatically or at the press of a button, the tool collects all license information in order to verify software license compliance. The new release offers license managers a better transparency and an optimum support during SAP system measurements.

The new version is free of charge to all samQ customers with an active maintenance contract. All customers using a basic license so far, VOQUZ offers an attractive upgrade to the new all-inclusive license.

“Company Creation Engine” will offer best in class user security for subscribers participating in portfolio company token issues via Civic

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) September 27, 2017

Science Blockchain, an incubator focused on sponsoring and growing leading companies in the Blockchain space and which recently launched its ICO, today announced it will partner with Civic to ensure that their portfolio companies are protected by Civic’s best in class technology for identity verification as they come to market.

“The ICO market is not only growing, it is growing up,” said Science Co-Founder and CEO Mike Jones, “and that means for anyone in this space – issuers, investors, users, and certainly regulators – identity verification, security and privacy is going to be a critical issue. The team at Civic understand this better than anyone else, and we believe they have the best solution”.

While the Science Blockchain ICO is currently underway, and the composition of the portfolio will evolve, it is expected that the platform will be invested in a number of companies at a given time, in various states of maturity. As Science Blockhain’s portfolio companies come to market with their own ICO’s, Civic will work closely with them and their advisors to provide the benefits of Civic’s robust and decentralized identity verification ecosystem.

CEO Vinny Lingham said, “Delivering an efficient, effective and sophisticated solution to digital identity is a foundational problem for any modern business, something we’re unfortunately reminded of daily. We’re incredibly excited to partner with Science Blockchain at this early stage, and look forward to integrating our technology with their portfolio companies as they grow.”

“We strongly believe Blockchain will be transformative for businesses, and frankly, for societies,” continued Jones “but at a more granular level, we recognize that Blockchain technology can also be used to redefine how an investment vehicle operates for the benefit of its participants. Civic is a case in point here – the practical application of this transformative technology is going to have a clear and positive impact for the Science Blockchain incubator, our portfolio companies, and their investors.”

As Science Blockchain’s portfolio companies approach their own ICO funding rounds, they will be able to deploy Civic technology not only for token sales, but also for secure login and identity protection. Not only will these companies be able to come to market faster, they will in addition reduce the burden of the

process, complications and responsibilities that come with storing personally identifiable information.

Daniel Weinbach, President and CEO of The Weinbach Group, Presents “Pricing Strategy In A World of Price Transparency” At American Hospital Association Conference

Miami, Florida (PRWEB) September 27, 2017

Before an audience of strategy officers from some of the nation’s most prominent hospitals and health systems, Daniel Weinbach, president and CEO of The Weinbach Group, a healthcare advertising agency, warned, “Price transparency is coming, and you need to determine how your organization will position itself in an era when cost will figure into your patients’ purchasing decisions.”

Weinbach, who heads the Miami-based healthcare marketing firm, along with Justin Irizarry, CFO and co-founder of OrthoNOW, and Richard Klass of KPI partners delivered their presentation at the Society for Healthcare Strategy & Market Development (SHSMD) annual “Connections” conference on Tuesday, September 26. SHSMD is the marketing wing of the American Hospital Association and the most prominent voice and resource for healthcare marketers, strategists, and public relations professionals in the United States. Weinbach and his Miami public relations firm have been involved with SHMD since 2010.

The SHSMD conference attracted nearly 2,000 healthcare marketing professionals, and the event included sessions from some of the nation’s most distinguished thought leaders in the healthcare marketing and communications space, including Weinbach, Irizarry, and Klass.

“Thanks to high-deductible health plans and increasing insurance premiums, the healthcare cost burden is shifting, and consumers bear a greater portion than ever before,” said Weinbach. “However, despite growing price sensitivity among their customers, hospitals and health systems are ill-prepared to contemplate price in their overall positioning. We are here to change that by identifying which healthcare services are ‘shoppable,’ and how healthcare organizations can demonstrate value.”

The three executives’ presentation, “Pricing Strategy in a World of Price Transparency,” was part of the advanced learning track for healthcare strategists. It addressed the complex and often illogical pricing structure under which the healthcare industry operates. The presentation also reported on the status of healthcare price transparency, for which services price matters, and presented three real-world case histories of how different healthcare providers have addressed pricing.

Daniel Weinbach and his co-presenters offered attendees a white paper about price strategy and price transparency, which The Weinbach Group will make available for digital download. For more information, please contact Meieli Sawyer at 305-668-0070 or msawyer(at)weinbachgroup(dot)com.

About The Weinbach Group

The Weinbach Group, now in its 30th year, consistently ranks among South Florida’s top advertising, public relations, and marketing firms. It serves clients in a range of industries, and has particular renown as a healthcare advertising agency. For more information, visit http://www.weinbachgroup.com.

Added property will significantly increase inventory space and productivity.

Los Angeles, California (PRWEB) September 27, 2017

In response to growing demand for its quality mobile phone accessories and consumer electronics products, Valencia, California-based Hypercel recently announced a sizable expansion of its distribution center.

The new WDS Class-A facility will add 22,500 sq. ft. to the company’s existing 27,750 sq. ft., almost doubling the space to over 50,000 sq. ft. The warehouse is adjacent to Hypercel’s headquarters, conveniently located just 5 minutes from Interstate 5.

“We’ve already begun mapping the build-out to expedite the restructuring,” said Hypercel President and CEO David Nazar. “To provide a seamless expansion, the existing facility’s south wall will be removed, significantly enhancing the work flow between the two structures and boosting productivity.”

The expansion will also include 20 additional loading dock doors with dock height and ground level access, as well as indoor-loading, cross-docking and transloading capabilities. New equipment will also be acquired, including additional forklifts, storage racks and conveyor belts, to help move substantially more inventory with greater efficiency.

Added staff and around-the-clock distribution center hours will be implemented to accommodate the holiday rush.

“This is an exciting time for Hypercel, but our rapid growth has presented significant challenges with space, both to accommodate the new equipment required to distribute an ever-expanding range of products, and the numerous people that we are currently recruiting for all aspects of our business. We are fortunate that the facility next door was recently vacated," said Nazar. “This is a rare opportunity to acquire a high-quality distribution facility in a location that has excellent transport links and a local population with skills relevant to our business. The new site acquisition is a necessary part of ensuring for the longer term that we can continue to prosper and create high-quality jobs in the USA.”

About Hypercel

Established in 1995 and headquartered in Valencia, California, Hypercel is an award-winning manufacturer and global distributor of innovative consumer electronics and mobile accessories.

TelephoneKenya.com, the expat service dedicated to the Kenyan diaspora, welcomes everyone to join the Facebook contest and get the chance to win free calling minutes to Kenya and other destinations.

Atlanta, Georgia (PRWEB) September 28, 2017

TelephoneKenya.com, the service dedicated to Kenyans abroad, is running a Facebook contest around the International Homesickness Day, giving away international calling minutes. Anyone interested to win $10 Voice Credit for international calls to Kenya is welcome to leave a comment to the question: "What is the most valuable lesson you've learned as an expat?". Answers are expected on the Facebook expat page of TelephoneKenya.com until October 1, 2017: https://www.facebook.com/telephonekenya/. The Facebook challenge can bring someone up to 100 international minutes to call Kenya.

With this Facebook contest, TelephoneKenya.com lines up with the Homesickness expat celebration worldwide, and offers Kenyans abroad a new opportunity to earn free calling credit.

The celebration aims to bring expats together and re-acknowledge that homesickness is a natural feeling. That is why, this year's motto is "Home is where your heart is, but heart can be in many places at once." Also, if last year, expats shared homemade videos related to what they missed most about their motherland, in 2017, TelephoneKenya shares its own video dedicated to expats.

The main character of the video produced by TelephoneKenya is an animated Alien, and the atmosphere resembles the one in Sting's famous song "I'm an Alien in New York", but with a touch of optimism and humour. It shows empathy for what it feels to experience the first signs of culture shock and the symptoms of missing home. It is available on Facebook in the video section or on the timeline.

Voice Credit prize has no expiration date, just like Voice Credit on TelephoneKenya.com in general. On regular basis, despite any promotion, the minimum amount out there for purchase is $2. Voice Credit can be used to call more destinations, not only Kenya. The price to call landlines is 9.5 cents/minute or the equivalent in other currencies, whereas the rate to call mobile phone in Kenya is 10.9 cents/minute. Rates to call for other destinations are displayed on the website.

PhoneIndia.com, the expat service dedicated to the Indian diaspora, welcomes everyone to join the Facebook contest and get the chance to win free calling minutes to India.

Atlanta, Georgia (PRWEB) September 28, 2017

International Homesickness Day in September brings Indians worldwide a Facebook challenge and the chance to win $10 Voice Credit for international calls with PhoneIndia.com, that is 806 minutes to call India, whenever necessary. Everyone interested is welcome to join the Facebook contest on PhoneIndia.com Facebook page until Oct 1, 2017. All that needs to be done is to leave a comment to the video post on September 27, 2017: https://www.facebook.com/PhoneIndia/

The Facebook challenge that can bring someone more than 800 international minutes to call India is simple. Visitors need to leave a comment to the question "What is the most valuable lesson you've learned as an expat?" Comments are expected until October 1, 2017, and the winner will be picked randomly and announced on October 2: https://www.facebook.com/PhoneIndia/

With this Facebook contest, PhoneIndia.com lines up with the Homesickness expat community celebration worldwide, and offers Indians abroad a new opportunity to earn free calling credit besides regular loyalty and referral points.

The whole idea behind this international day is to bring expats together and re-acknowledge that homesickness is OK, it is a natural feeling. That is why, this year's motto sounds optimistic: "Home is where your heart is, but heart can be in many places at once."

At this time last year, expats were sharing homemade videos related to what they missed the most about their motherland. This year, PhoneIndia takes the first step and shares its own video dedicated to expats. The video shows empathy for what it feels like to experience the first signs of culture shock and the symptoms of missing home. The main character is an animated Alien, and it seems that the song "I'm an Alien in New York" plays in the background. It is available on Facebook and YouTube starting September 27.

The challenge promises a $10 voice credit voucher for someone that will be randomly picked.

Voice Credit on PhoneIndia.com has no expiration date, and can be used to call more destinations, not only India. The regular rate to call India is 1.2 cents/minute or the equivalent in other currencies, whether it is a call to a mobile or landline. Calling rates for other destinations are displayed on the website.

The best rate to call India is lower than 1 cent: 0.7 cents/minute. This is available using a monthly plan, India 1400 or India 3000. For less talkative Indians, India 600 is available too.

Calling with PhoneIndia.com is possible in 2 different ways: with and without Internet access.

-Smartphone users have KeepCalling app available on AppStore and Google Play. The app is free to install, and turns international calls into local calls in terms of both dialing easiness and costs.

-For those used to calling phone cards, access numbers can be used to call without any Internet connection, from any phone.

In addition to Voice Credit, PhoneIndia.com offers Mobile Recharge. This service can help one top up a mobile in some other country online, with no hassle, in few seconds. At present, PhoneIndia.com facilitates mobile credit for subscribers of the following operators in India: Vodafone, Airtel, Idea, BSNL, Jio, Docomo, Videocon, Aircel, MTNL, MTS, Reliance, TATA Indicom, Uninor.

According to review platforms, here are the reasons why Indians abroad remain loyal to this service:

-Best quality-price ratio on the global market.

-Everyone benefits of free calling features.

-Payment is highly secure; the website bears the label "Verified & Secured" thanks to its strong security system.

-Payment is accepted in all currencies.

-Offers and bonuses are launched regularly for those who follow PhoneIndia.com on Facebook or Google+.

Trippki aims to utilize the Ethereum blockchain to transform the travel industry by creating a more efficient, versatile and usable travel rewards program, detailed in their white paper.

London, England (PRWEB) September 28, 2017

The current travel reward points system lacks the flexibility needed to empower guests to travel more often and to be able to fully utilize the points they earn. Points quickly expire and there are a limited number of ways that guests can redeem them.

Trippki, a revolutionary travel rewards protocol to better connect hotels to their guests, recently released their white paper. Trippki’s white paper details the company’s efforts to utilize blockchain technology, as well as their own cryptocurrency, TRIP, to reward guests after they check out of their accommodations. Not only can guests earn TRIP by staying at the hotel, but also for dining at hotel restaurants or posting a photo of their stay to social media. TRIP can then be used to book future accommodations, transferred into a different cryptocurrency or simply cashed out giving the guest the power to decide how to use their points. By incentivizing the consumer, hotels benefit by having higher social engagement, and higher utilization of their additional commodities, such as spa services, restaurant and bar, and other activities they might provide. Furthermore, the direct line of communication allows hotels to better understand their guests and craft personalized promotions to encourage their return and build customer loyalty.

Trippki CEO, Ed Cunningham, has 25 years of experience in the travel industry and originally discovered cryptocurrency while living in Uruguay and instantly identified how the immutability of this emerging technology could be applied to the travel industry. He says, “We all want to change the world and make it a better place, and I think the immutability of blockchain technology can really benefit the travel industry.”

Cunningham believes that cryptocurrency and blockchain offer the technology needed to connect hotels to their guests instead of relying on third party online travel agents (e.g. Expedia), who take huge commissions and ultimately reduce the funds available for the hotel to contribute to the customer experience. Hotels want to communicate with the customer directly, without interference from third-party travel programs, and guests want to be able to really use their reward points. Trippki and their use of blockchain technology make both of these goals possible.

The Trippki ecosystem is comprised of four layers: Framework, Exchange, Integration, and Application. The Framework, which is on the Ethereum blockchain, will be the open, shared, decentralized backbone of Trippki. The Exchange layer is responsible for converting Ethereum into TRIP, and storing the latter in the vault. The Integration layer will speed the process of development within the Trippki ecosystem, both for products (e.g. booking hotels) as well as third parties that are incentivized to build products for the TRIP community (e.g. hotels offering rewards for utilizing their spa services). The final layer is the Application, which will be the hotel booking interface that consumers will navigate with ease.

Trippki launched in early September and will launch their token sale on November 14th, 2017.

For more information, Trippki’s white paper is available here. Additionally, Trippki’s community Slack channel welcomes questions and feedback on their project.

For media inquiries, please contact Jesse Lucas at Melrose PR Jesse(at)melrosepr(dot)com or call (310) 260-7901.

About Trippki

Trippki is an open, decentralised reward protocol and an incentive alignment system (TRIP token) built on top of Ethereum. Trippki allows hotels to build direct relationships with their customers through a built-in reputation system, so guests can be rewarded for helping to promote the network whether that’s using in-house services, writing reviews or through getting other users onto the platform through the affiliate and referral programs. Trippki hands the power back to the guest, giving them the freedom to use their travel rewards at will; an alternative to current day travel reward programs. For more information, visit Trippki.com.

Poised to expand their video, photography, drone, webcam, 3D, and software offerings to new global territories, Multivista releases detailed information on global business opportunities

Phoenix, AZ (PRWEB) September 28, 2017

Multivista, a leading global provider of visual documentation services for construction, announced today that its full-service offerings will be made available in new, international territories. The scaled expansion of their franchise system, named a 2017 Top Global Franchise by Entrepreneur Magazine, sets out to establish the company’s presence throughout Australia and Asia, while expanding its footprint in South America and Europe.

Though visual documentation has long been considered a best practice, mounting government regulations, construction defect litigation, and an increased demand for efficiency through digitalization, make Multivista’s services increasingly essential throughout the global AEC (Architecture, Engineering and Construction) industry.

“Construction technology is a multi-billion-dollar industry looking to double in the next 5 years,” says Zamon Kingi, the director of Franchise Sales at Multivista. “The industry is shifting and we are uniquely positioned at the intersection of construction and technology.”

With increased government legislation, in the UK and throughout Australia, calling for (and in certain cases requiring) increased construction technology utilization, the company intends to focus franchisee recruitment and training efforts in those regions first. “Both of these markets are unique because of their building regulations, but also because they host diverse verticals that can weather cyclical swings in construction activity,” says Sr. Director of Franchise Development Dan McRae.

With comprehensive training programs and access to cutting-edge reality capture technologies, Multivista provides a business opportunity suited for those interested in leveraging technology to capitalize on growth in the AEC industry. McRae suggests that now is the ideal time to partner with Multivista, as “construction and technology are converging like never before. The industry is increasingly looking for our service solutions to improve competitiveness, reduce risk, and create efficiencies.”

In order to centralize global activities around prospective franchise opportunities, Multivista has released http://www.MultivistaFranchise.com. The new website features information on Multivista’s brand, resources for potential franchise partners, a list of available franchise location opportunities, and a breakdown of the costs and criteria associated with opening a franchise.

Visit http://www.MultivistaFranchise.com to learn more about Multivista business opportunities.

About Multivista:

Multivista has been contracted on over 2.5 billion square feet of construction projects worldwide and is trusted by the industry’s leading companies to mitigate risk, create efficiencies, and deliver a higher level of project insight throughout a building’s lifecycle. The company offers a full suite of visual construction documentation services on an intuitive cloud-based website platform with local boots-on-the-ground support in over 70 international markets.

Multivista is part of Hexagon (Nasdaq Stockholm: HEXA B; hexagon.com), a leading global provider of information technology solutions that drive productivity and quality across geospatial and industrial landscapes.

New Format Enables Massive Game Companies to Leverage the Next-Generation of Advertising; First Campaign Slated for November

Tel Aviv, Israel (PRWEB) September 28, 2017

Leading mobile monetization and marketing company ironSource today announced the launch of the world’s first AR ads for games. In development while ARKit was still in beta, these ads will now be available on hundreds of millions of smartphones worldwide, after Apple’s release of ARKit, and Google’s launch of ARCore bring AR capabilities to the mainstream. The ads are designed and produced entirely in-house by ironSource’s Playworks Studio, a division in the company wholly dedicated to using game design and performance expertise to innovate around ad creatives.

“For mobile AAA games which are often 3D and filled with special effects, AR ads finally offer a format that can evoke the true nature and experience of the game in an ad experience. Couple that with the large scale supply enabled by our direct relationships with thousands of game publishers using our ad network, and the potential opportunity for massive game advertisers is huge,” said Dan Greenberg, Chief Design Officer at ironSource. “Ultimately, amazing creative experiences are not enough to guarantee campaign results. You need to be able to access large volumes of relevant users, and to live close enough to the data to iterate and optimize. As the first ad network offering AR ads, that’s something we’re able to offer mobile AAA games looking to grow their market share by leveraging this new format.”

ironSource’s mobile video SDK is one of the largest in the industry, with over 80K integrations. This gives ironSource access to a huge amount of in-game supply in which to run AR ads directly to today’s most engaged gamers.

The AR ads use 3D assets from the original game, and can run on both iOS and Android in-app traffic, within rewarded, video, and display placements. ironSource AR ads superimpose in-game characters and scenarios from the advertised game onto the user’s real-world environment. Users will be able to vanquish monsters, earn points, or step into the virtual world of the game, before being prompted to install the app to continue playing.

“While we’ve seen AR applied in an advertising context with features like lenses, this is the first time it will be used to market games. Yet games are in many ways the perfect application for AR advertising, given that a lot of the ways people interact with AR experiences actually mimic gameplay interaction,” continued Greenberg. “The fact that we’ve been working with some of the largest gaming companies for so many years means we have a deep understanding of gameplay and how to translate it into a more compact and condensed ad experience. We’ve presented this new technology to our top partners while in beta and the reactions were uniformly positive. Our first campaign is already scheduled for November once user adoption of iOS 11 has increased.

About ironSource

ironSource, the leading in-app video advertising platform, makes free-to-play and free-to-use possible for over 1.2B people around the world. We build technologies that help keep app developers in business, including the industry’s largest in-app video SSP. Since only 2% of users pay to play, we provide tools to engage the other 98%. That’s why over 80K apps use our technologies to grow their app businesses, and why we’re working with leading companies like Big Fish Games, Zynga and Playrix. We care about good creative and making ads as enjoyable as your games, and our designers sit next to our performance team, making sure data informs every creative decision. Founded in 2010, we’re a truly global company, with offices in Tel Aviv, London, New York, San Francisco, Beijing, Bangalore and Seoul. Read more at http://www.ironsrc.com
