Ship to Network Company wants to End Package Theft and Deliver at Customer’s Convenience

BEMUS PT, N.Y. (PRWEB) January 18, 2018

Today, Spartara, a technology company located in Western NY, announced the launch of Receivur, a ship to network platform that aims to end consumer package theft while providing economic opportunity to freelance delivery drivers.

Of the company’s recent launch, Spartara CEO Tim Town said, “We all have heard the term Porch-Pirates. It is estimated that over 25 million Americans have been victims of criminals who steal packages, that often include Christmas gifts, right off of their front porches. We believe that this platform will empower consumers to choose a delivery time that works with their schedule so that they are home to receive their packages.”

To understand how Receivur works, imagine that an example character named Mary is buying an expensive camera from her favorite online store to be delivered to her home. Knowing that she works daytime hours in which her package will be dropped off and at risk of being stolen, she would instead sign up with Receivur at http://www.receivur.com. There, she can choose one of many Recievur drivers based on their ratings, and then use the Recievur’s address for delivery of her camera. She would choose the time of her choice to have the package delivered face-to-face to her by a trusted Recievur. Mary is charged a small fee per delivery with no long term obligations or commitments. Mary considers it a small price to pay for the peace of mind of knowing when she will have her package and that it is not at risk of being stolen by porch pirates.

Robert Holland, a member of Spartara and the creator of Receivur states, “It came to me after looking for shipping alternatives to get my packages when I wanted them. The solution wasn’t out there, and the alternative solutions didn’t make sense to me.”

Receivur is creating opportunity by participating in the sharing economy. Receivur allows everyday people to sign up to become a delivery driver. After passing a background check and vehicle specifications, Receivur drivers can log into the Receivur app and begin posting for deliveries. Drivers can elect to do as many deliveries as they are able to without overlapping customer time preferences. They are paid a generous portion of each delivery fee charged to their Client and paid as Independent Contractors who work for themselves.

About Spartara: Spartara is a technology company that offers digital and web solutions to companies to help them compete in a global economy. For more information on the launch of Receivur you can visit receivur.com.

Respondents revealed that the top three IT initiatives for 2018 are all data-centric: business intelligence, machine learning/artificial intelligence and big data.

NEW YORK (PRWEB) January 18, 2018

In its inaugural Voice of the Enterprise (VotE) Digital Pulse survey, 451 Research finds that IT leaders are embracing a new model of off-premises, service-oriented IT solutions and will be looking to harness data in new ways to differentiate themselves in 2018. Respondents revealed that the top three IT initiatives for 2018 are all data-centric: business intelligence, machine learning/artificial intelligence and big data.

The survey finds that IT organizations’ ability to exploit digital transformation is uneven with over 60% of organizations having no formal transformation strategy in place and many admitting they face challenges in achieving optimal business-IT alignment.

Sixty percent of enterprises surveyed for Digital Pulse say they will run the majority of their IT outside the confines of enterprise datacenters by the end of 2019, chiefly using off-premises service provider environments such as public cloud infrastructure and SaaS.

Accordingly, the largest spending increase in 2018 is for IT delivered ‘as a service,’ at the expense of the traditional on-premises model. 451 Research finds information security is also high on the IT agenda, with 16% of organizations saying that area is getting the largest budget increase.

Providers such as Microsoft and Amazon Web Services (AWS) are emerging as enterprises’ most strategic technology suppliers; 35% of organizations say Microsoft will be their most strategic partner by the end of 2019, compared to 33% today, while 17% say AWS will hold that position two years from now compared to 7% today.

The Digital Pulse survey also highlights a revolution in how organizations will harness data to differentiate themselves and create new value. The top three IT initiatives for 2018 were all data-centric: 45% of respondents pointed to business intelligence, 29% mentioned machine learning/artificial intelligence while 28% said big data.

The growth opportunity around data is clear with almost 30% of organizations saying ML/AI is a top priority in 2018 while just 12% of respondents use these solutions today.

Meanwhile, usage of much-hyped technologies such as blockchain remains very low, but more organizations will begin to move from tire kicking to actual deployment over the next year, with 12% of Digital Pulse respondents citing blockchain as a top IT priority for 2018.

“The survey suggests that many – but certainly not all – organizations are finally reaching the point where they can focus on endeavors that help differentiate the business, instead of merely keeping the lights on. In 2018 we expect to see much of this effort focused around a new set of approaches to data optimization and analysis,” said Melanie Posey, Research Vice President and General Manager, Voice of the Enterprise, 451 Research.

Distributed daily, The Syllabus is the first-of-its-kind newsletter designed to share news, information, and relevant links with tutors, educators, and policymakers.

NEW YORK (PRWEB) January 18, 2018

Leading edtech company Clark announced today the launch of their inaugural news digest, The Syllabus. Distributed daily, The Syllabus is the first-of-its-kind newsletter designed to share news, information, and relevant links with tutors, educators, and policymakers.

Founded by Megan O’Connor and Sam Gimbel, Clark is a revolutionary mobile tool for tutors and administrative software solution for tutoring centers. Since its inception in early 2017, Clark has gained recognition as pioneering software that brings transparency to the tutoring and private education space. Now, with the impending launch of their content platform, Clark is providing the tools, tips, and advice tutors need to scale their businesses.

As the demand for personalized education becomes more and more apparent, the need for tutors has increased significantly. The “no excuses” policy, adopted by Charter Schools nationwide underscores this point, highlighting increased scores and success rates of students due in large part to mandated high-dosage tutoring.

Further, recent research has shown that tutoring programs that incorporate research-based elements produce improvements in reading achievement; and tutoring can also lead to improvements in self confidence about reading, motivation for reading, and behavior, both among tutees and among peer or cross-age tutors. But for tutors to be as successful as possible, they need to be equipped with the latest information.

“There is a gaping hole in the market for professional development for tutors. We noticed that despite the critical role tutors play in our education system, there is no place where they can find content and resources geared specifically to the tutoring industry. The Syllabus is meant to fill that gap,” says O’Connor. “There are so many stories about education, policy changes, new methods, new technology – it can seem overwhelming to follow it all. The Syllabus is an easily digestible way to consume the best, most helpful stories in the education space every morning, making it easier for tutors to be even better at what they do.”

To learn more about Clark or sign up for The Syllabus please visit hiclark.com/blog.

About Clark:

Clark is a revolutionary tool for tutors that functions as a virtual assistant offering automated scheduling, payment solutions, and progress reports for students and their parents. Started in 2017 by Megan O’Connor and Sam Gimbel, Clark reduces the admin load out of being a tutor and streamlines communications between tutors, educators, and parents - all while simultaneously providing the student with the educational assistance that they need. Previously, Megan was a founding member of Human Ventures, a startup studio in New York City. Megan also worked in impact, where she served as the Director of Development at Pencils of Promise, an innovative "for purpose"​ nonprofit organization providing quality education in the developing world.

The company will discuss how legacy ESPs have failed to provide enterprise organizations with the tools they need to send highly personalized messages at scale.

Atlanta, Ga. (PRWEB) January 18, 2018

While businesses may love email marketing because email often provides the highest revenue generation when compared to other marketing channels, that doesn’t mean enterprise marketers love their email service provider (ESP). MessageGears will explore that complicated relationship in an upcoming webinar, “How Legacy ESPs Have Failed Enterprise Marketers,” set for Tuesday, Jan. 30, at 2 p.m. ET. To register for the webinar: http://ow.ly/7Wbb30hP34z.

The 30-minute webinar will provide expert insight into how enterprise marketers can take back control of their data to eliminate the limits that legacy ESP systems place on the use of customer data for email marketing. It will reference MessageGears’ recently released 2018 ESP Satisfaction Report, in which the company surveyed 101 Business-to-Consumer enterprise marketers on various aspects of their feelings toward their companies’ ESP. For a free download of the full ESP Satisfaction Report, visit https://messagegears.com/marketing-resources/.

In addition to advice, the webinar will explore why the largest companies are not only less likely to be enthusiastic about the performance of their ESP, but are also less likely than smaller enterprise organizations to change. They’ll discuss how it has become so difficult for these companies to switch providers, and what some marketers are doing to take control of their email marketing program.

“What we are finding is that enterprise marketers feel trapped by their ESP, but we don’t see a whole lot of ESPs collaborating to make it easier to switch between providers,” said MessageGears Director of Marketing Will Devlin, who will lead the webinar discussion alongside Vice President of Account Management Chris Brown. “Why would they? High switching barriers result in high customer retention, even if those customers aren’t really happy. The big, ugly secret of the email marketing industry is that switching between providers would be easy if companies started taking back ownership of their data, but ESPs don’t want you to control your data. They want your data so ingrained in their system that you can’t pull it out easily. We think this is a huge disservice to the advancement of the email marketing industry.”

That idea was confirmed in MessageGears’ recent survey. The 2018 ESP Satisfaction Report revealed three major trends affecting enterprise email marketers:

Large companies are staying with ESPs they don’t love. On average, businesses that send 10M to 100M emails monthly have been with their ESP for three to five years. Marketing teams aren’t very satisfied with the product, but say they can’t change due to deep integration, an extremely long buying cycle, siloes in the company that inhibit change, and perceptions about cost and the learning curve associated with a change.

The C-Suite’s view on strengths and priorities doesn’t usually align with their team’s. While 50 percent of high-level executives indicated they were “very satisfied” with the performance of their current ESP, only 17 percent of managers, senior managers, directors and vice presidents agreed. And 80 percent of C-Suite executives said they were “very satisfied” with their ESP’s ease-of-use and real-time data access, compared with just 19 percent for the rest of the marketing team.

Companies with on-premises ESPs are more reluctant to change, even if they don’t like their current system. Just 25 percent of companies with in-house ESPs said they were open to changing ESP. But only 18 percent of companies with in-house ESPs were “very satisfied.” The reluctance is somewhat obvious – companies hate to give up on something they built; they have already sunk a lot of money into the project; and in-house email feels free, even if it requires staff and may be hindering growth.

About MessageGears

MessageGears is the only email service provider that enables the world’s top brands to send dynamic, high-volume marketing messages with speed and precision by providing a platform that overcomes the inherent limitations of marketing cloud email systems. MessageGears works almost exclusively with large business-to-consumer (B2C) companies, including Expedia, Orbitz Worldwide, Chick-fil-A, AmTrust, and Ebates.

Mytonomy to provide custom microlearning video content and their Patient Experience Cloud platform

BETHESDA, Md. (PRWEB) January 18, 2018

Mytonomy, a leader in patient experience cloud solutions, leveraging behavioral and learning science to drive longitudinal patient activation for better health outcomes, announced it will support Onduo, a joint venture created by Verily (an Alphabet company) and Sanofi. Mytonomy will develop custom microlearning video education for Onduo’s Virtual Diabetes Clinic members, and provide their Patient Experience Cloud, white‐labeled under the Onduo brand, enabling Onduo coaches and members access to a master library of modern microlearning patient education, anytime, anywhere on any mobile device.

“Great content engages all audiences. We are excited to support with Onduo by applying our microlearning approach to participant education for virtual diabetes self‐management. Mytonomy’s microlearning approach enables patients to learn about the critical aspects of health management strategies from the comfort of their own home on their preferred mobile device,” said Anjali Kataria, CEO of Mytonomy.

“Traditional forms of classroom style diabetes self‐management education have already shown positive gains in patient motivation, understanding and better health outcomes. However, in an increasingly mobile world, leveraging novel technologies is necessary to build the future foundations of wellness and new habits in chronic care disease management. These require tailoring, personalizing and modernizing patient education to meet patients where they are today, and to drive optimal engagement levels outside of the hospital and clinic.

“Mytonomy’s Patient Experience Cloud will help educate consumers about innovative coaching platforms like Onduo’s Virtual Diabetes Clinic,” said Vinay Bhargava, Co‐Founder, and President of Mytonomy. “By delivering precise patient education enabled by our APIs, we can make the human interaction between coaches and patients more robust and efficient, allowing more patients to be positively impacted.”

About Mytonomy

Mytonomy is the leader in Patient Experience Cloud Software for hospitals and providers, and custom microlearning patient education rooted in learning and behavioral science that drives longitudinal patient activation. Mytonomy offers a data-driven personalized patient education, engagement, and experience software platform resulting in unprecedented cost savings and significant improvements in patient outcomes.

Mytonomy’s solutions can be used seamlessly across the care continuum and were designed for maximum flexibility, ease of use, and data sharing throughout the clinical workflow. The company has completed two IRB approved clinical research studies across four clinical sites in diabetes and cardiology with positive results and publications expected in forthcoming academic journals.

About Diabetes

Diabetes is a chronic condition characterized by high blood sugar levels that stem from inappropriate production or use of insulin. In 2014, it was estimated that 29 million Americans[i] and 425 million people worldwide[ii] have diabetes. About 90-95% of these individuals have type 2 diabetes and 29% take some form of insulin[iii]. Despite being provided with effective medications, more than half of them do not meet the recommended targets for glycemic control[iv]. Major contributing factors include challenges with insulin initiation and titration. Owing to the complications associated with diabetes, its total annual cost in the US amounts to $245 billion. Optimizing adherence to diabetes medications is recognized as one of the most effective ways of controlling disease expenditures[v]. The cost saving opportunity in the U.S is estimated to be $4,690 per patient per year[vi]. It has been estimated that the global economic burden of diabetes is U.S. $827 billion. [vii]

Kofax Reseller Places Order To Meet Rapidly Growing Demand for Robotic Process Automation Solutions

Irvine, CA (PRWEB) January 18, 2018

Kofax®, a leading provider of software to simplify and transform the First Mile™ of business, today announced that a long term Kofax reseller has placed an order for $1.8M of Kofax Kapow™ to meet rapidly growing demand for robotic process automation (RPA) solutions from its end user customers, reinforcing Kofax’s declaration of 2018 as the Year of the Robot. This partner leverages Kapow software in its own market leading RPA solutions to mimic human actions and automate a wide range of manual, repetitive tasks, driving continuous improvement and significant cost savings for its customers.

The neurodevelopment diagnostic division of Stemina Biomarker Discovery has validated 12 metabolic subtypes of autism spectrum disorder. The diagnostic blood test for ASD will be available later this year.

MADISON, Wis. (PRWEB) January 18, 2018

NeuroPointDX, the neurological disorders division of Stemina Biomarker Discovery, announced today that it has validated a first-generation autism diagnostic blood test panel in the Children’s Autism Metabolome Project (CAMP), its clinical study. The study has enrolled 1,100 children, age 18-48 months, over the course of two years. CAMP is the largest study ever conducted that examines the metabolism of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

“We’re so proud of the work our eight clinical sites have done to recruit very young children and their families to participate in CAMP. This tightly-designed study requires a first-of-the-morning blood draw, behavior and cognitive assessment, and medical examination. The quality of the work done at these sites deserves recognition.” said Elizabeth Donley, NeuroPointDX’s CEO.

NeuroPointDX’s first-generation autism diagnostic blood test was validated using patient samples from the $6 million CAMP study. “A manuscript is in progress and will be submitted to a peer-reviewed scientific journal by the end of January,” said Donley. “It is not an exaggeration to say that NeuroPointDX will revolutionize diagnosis and precision medicine. By identifying imbalances in the patient’s metabolism, we can diagnose neurological disorders and identify targeted treatments. These interventions may be as simple as modifying diet or dietary supplements, or as complex as developing new drugs to correct the imbalance.”

The test will be available this year and delivered by Stemina’s CLIA laboratory in Madison, Wisconsin. Families of children with suspected developmental delay are encouraged to ask their pediatrician about NeuroPointDX’s ASD panel once the test becomes available.

“Much like cancer consists of many distinct types, neurological disorders like autism can be best understood by looking at how an individual child’s symptoms present and what exacerbates them. Our research shows that how some children process certain amino acids can tell us a lot about how to help that child thrive. We have validated 12 metabolic subtypes of ASD, which together account for approximately 30% of children with autism, in our first-generation panel,” Donley said. “This is just the beginning of what we expect to learn from the CAMP study. This is an historic moment, not just for Stemina and NeuroPointDX, but for our knowledge and understanding of autism.”

Stemina was awarded a $2.7 million grant from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) in August 2015 to support the CAMP study. The study is also supported by a $3.8 million investment from the Nancy Lurie Marks Family Foundation (NLMFF). The clinical sites are the MIND Institute at the University of California-Davis, Arkansas Children’s Hospital Research Institute in Little Rock, Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus, the Melmed Center in Phoenix, Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, and the Lurie Center at Massachusetts General Hospital in Lexington.

To support CAMP and the company’s commercialization of this revolutionary diagnostic blood test for autism, NeuroPointDX is launching a crowdfunding campaign, called Providing Children with an Earlier, More Precise Autism Diagnosis, on Experiment.com. “We want to raise a minimum of $50,000, with the option to create stretch goals once that amount is reached,” said Donley. “If we publish the data but never bring the test to market, it won’t help one single child or family living with autism.” To learn more or donate, visit neuropointdx.com.
