Orlando, FL, September 27, 2018 --(PR.com)-- Icertis, the leading provider of enterprise contract management in the cloud, today launched the ICM Obligation Management application enabling companies to optimize business performance and protect organizations from reputational, commercial and financial risks. Built on the Icertis Contract Management (ICM) platform and infused with artificial intelligence (AI), the new app transforms how organizations identify, create, manage and fulfill obligations previously hidden in complex contract language.

A McKinsey study estimates leakage due to unfulfilled obligations at 2 percent in large enterprises. The new application automates obligation management in new and legacy contracts to accelerate the business and optimize commercial relationships, while avoiding the risk associated with missed obligations.

“As one of the world’s leading professional services companies, it is critical we closely manage the obligations enshrined in our contracts,” said Frank Marty, Global Head of CLRM at Cognizant. “Understanding and fulfilling our commitments to customers and realizing the full value of our entitlements is critical to successfully delivering shareholder value. The ICM Obligation Management app will positively impact our bottom line.”

“The digitization of contracts is enabling companies to reimagine enterprise contract management,” said Samir Bodas, CEO and Co-founder of Icertis. “For the first time in history, computer science is being applied to surface previously hidden and hard to manage contractual obligations, increasing compliance and maximizing revenue. It is exciting to see Icertis’ data scientists once again utilize AI to unlock even more value for our customers.”

The ICM Obligation Management app delivers the following powerful capabilities for all types of contracts including:
· Automatically discover and extract obligations at scale, from any contract, through the power of artificial intelligence.
· Surface obligations in the full context of the contract, making it easy to understand and focus on obligations that are most critical to the business.
· Assign obligations to both internal and external users and automatically handle reassignments due to transfers, departures, etc. based on pre-defined rules.
· Generate and manage fulfillment processes using ICM tasks for internal and third-party users via the ICM Collaboration Portal.
· Quickly set up rules to cascade and enforce obligations across related agreements – e.g. from MSAs to SOWs.
· Measure risk and compliance to deliver rolled-up insights across the enterprise and then develop, initiate and monitor action plans for continuous improvement, and more effective renewal negotiations.

Natively built on Microsoft Azure and tightly integrated with Microsoft productivity tools such as Microsoft Office 365, Microsoft Dynamics 365 and Microsoft Teams, Icertis continues to use Azure Cognitive Search technology to infuse the power of AI across the ICM platform and apps.

“Our goal at Microsoft is to bring AI to everyone by giving our customers the AI tools they need to drive digital transformation in their organizations,” said Joseph Sirosh, CVP & CTO of AI, World Wide Commercial Business group, Microsoft Corp. “By using our AI tools, Icertis is helping to evolve how contracts are managed, turning them from static documents to strategic assets using Icertis’ AI-infused enterprise contract management solutions built on Microsoft Azure.”

Icertis will be demoing the ICM Obligations Management app, as well as the ICM platform at booth 2 during Microsoft Envision held from Sept. 24-26 at the Orlando Hilton and booth 1825 during Microsoft Ignite held from Sept. 24-27 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Fla.

Telenet offers quadruple-play services consisting of video, broadband internet, and fixed-line telephony (VoIP) as well as mobile voice and data services to 4.9 million service subscribers. The acquisition of mobile operator Base enables Telenet to benefit from considerable operating synergies between their fixed and mobile network assets. The world's largest international TV and broadband company, Liberty Global, owns a 57.8% stake in Telenet.

Infradata is the leading expert and certified reseller of the entire range of BroadForward products, which include next generation products for routing, interworking, security and number portability.

Furthermore, the BroadForward EIR enables Telenet to generate device type reporting (model/type/software version) as well as reporting and notification at black- and gray-list detection.”

Luk Bruynseels, VP Mobile Technology at Telenet, about selecting Infradata, “In a converged network such as ours, the ability to manage access of devices to our networks is vital. We have to keep in mind that on a global scale it is expected that Internet Of Things (IoT) sensors and devices alone will exceed mobile phones as the largest category of connected devices already in 2018. As the leading expert in BroadForward products, Infradata detected and fulfilled our need for a Next Generation EIR, enabling us to extend our device management and security capabilities to cover more device types across multiple networks.”

Infradata Managing Director Nico van Buitenen added: “The Telenet strategy is to integrate their mobile and fixed network assets to build easy-to-use quadruple-play products.

New York, NY, September 27, 2018 --(PR.com)-- TAPP Water is fast-tracking efforts to provide sustainable solutions for clean and affordable tap water. The company today announced it has successfully raised 2.4 million dollars to further support its drive to eliminate 10 billion plastic water bottles and grow a billion-dollar business by 2023. The three investors behind the new funding are Stockholm-headquartered Bluewater, a global leader in innovative drinking water technology and solutions, yabeo, a German early and later stage investor focusing on innovative FinTech and Health Tech companies as well as companies with social or environmental impact, and the EU’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation funding program.

TAPP started as a research project in 2015 to identify water filter technologies that most improve the quality and taste of local tap water, initially in cities with high chlorination and hardness levels. The research was driven by the insight that about 50 million US and 75 million European households only consume bottled water despite access to clean tap water. Those same households dispose of over 90 billion bottles per year of which less than 20% get recycled.

“We felt there had to be a better alternative and solution to persuade people to give up single-use plastic bottles,” said TAPP founder Magnus Jern. After testing more than 30 existing products the team concluded there was nothing on the market today that appealed to the mass market and set about finding a solution.

In January 2017, TAPP Water launched the first tap water filtration product, TAPP 1, as a pilot. The market and customer feedback exceeded expectations with 10,000 customers in the first year.

On the back of that success, the company continued to evolve and launched the world’s first water filter with biodegradable cartridges, TAPP 2, in July 2018. TAPP 2 provides a simple, affordable and environmentally friendly way for every household to get clean tasty tap water. There is no longer any reason to buy bottled water in North America and Europe for home use.

Globally, more than 600 million households are consuming over 250 billion plastic bottles in 2018. Of this only 10% is recycled and the rest ends up in landfill or is dumped as waste in terrestrial or ocean environments. Lakes, rivers and groundwater are now so badly polluted that microplastics were found in 92% of US tap water and 93% of bottled water, according to OrbMedia’s recent reports.

The latest funding raised by TAPP will enable the company to tackle the massive plastic bottle challenge and scale rapidly. The pre A-round just closed with $2.4 million from high profile sustainability investors Bluewater, Yabeo and a EU grant for development of the next generation product, an innovative, sensor-based, IoT-ready faucet filter that purifies tap water and simultaneously generates fact-based data on the quality of the filtered water.

“Bluewater and yabeo are ideal investors thanks to their sustainability focus, track record and capacity to help us grow to achieve our mission. With the new funding we will go head to head with the big bottled water companies such as Coca Cola and Nestle,” said Magnus Jern, co-founder of TAPP Water.

“Bluewater has put sustainability and the removal of the need for single use plastic bottles at the heart of its business mission as the leading water technology and solutions provider with operations in Europe, China, the United States, South East Asia and Africa,” said Bluewater President and Chief Strategy Officer, Anders Jacobson. He said TAPP’s business vision and mission made the company an ideal company to invest in.

Long Island City, NY, September 27, 2018 --(PR.com)-- KVMGalore is proud to announce KVMGFilter: the implementation of an industry-first dynamic filtering system that – for the first time – allows customers to actually find a product based on a list of attributes and features.

Understanding that a search function only allows you to look up a solution you've already found - rather than to find the solution you need - KVMGalore experts got to work on implementing a filtering interface, kind of like the ones we're all familiar with on some of our favorite shoe and apparel websites.

KVMGFilter: KVMGalore's new "Refine your search" interface presents you with much-needed filtering options tailored to the product you're looking for. Add the features and attributes you need your product to supports, and you are instantly presented with results that match your selection.

"The complexity of our wide-range product offering, however, posed a huge challenge in creating KVMGFilter," said Daniel Schar, President and CEO of KVMGalore. "For instance, KVM switches have a very different feature-set than video switches. The same applies to KVM extenders versus video extenders. Add digital signage, environmental monitors, power distribution and video-wall products to the mix, and the result is a massive array of defining parameters which are unique to each product line."

No automatic algorithm could have accomplished this. KVMGFilter was painstakingly created - product by product - by humans, for humans, as each product line has its own feature-set, and the product lines they carry become more feature-rich with every new model.

KVMGFilter helps you find your product based on a list of attributes and features that specifically pertains to your searched product-line. It is comprehensive, dynamic and sophisticated, allowing you not only to mark the features you're looking for, but also to exclude the ones you don't want – a first in any online filtering system.

In their pursuit of making tech solutions easy to find, KVMGFilter is an ongoing endeavor. When a new feature is introduced to a product-line, you can rest assured KVMGalore experts are going to make it available for you to filter by, using KVMGFilter.

About KVMGalore:
KVMGalore® is your source for tech solutions made easy™. With over 25 years of experience in the industry, we specialize in wireless, HD, digital, mobile, Ethernet, IP and professional-grade hardware solutions for KVM, Pro audio/video, digital-signage, environmental monitoring, Hi-Def home-theater, and power distribution.

Tallinn, Estonia, September 27, 2018 --(PR.com)-- Black has strategic partnerships in the works today with large insurance players and commitments of $800,000 from VC’s like Concentric, BlackPearls, Fineqia and Siena as well as from insurance domain angel investors like Risto Rossar and Bundeep Rangar to name just a few, to work on the pilot project to be launched in 2019.

57 insurance brokers have signed up to use the platform, collectively doing over $350M worth of revenue per year. Operating through Black would mean a direct savings of $45M on average per year for the total brokers signed up compared to admin costs in underwriting today. The average admin costs in the insurance industry today are 20% of the GWP. Operating through the Black platform these costs will be below 10%.

More on the costs in the industry today in this analysis: https://medium.com/blackinsurance/costs-in-the-insurance-industry-today-b86e225eea0b

“Initially we were aiming to raise $45M already with the first ICO but as the ICO and crypto market are not in best state today as well as while working on the Black project we realised that it is very very reasonable to progress with stages, so we decided to adjust our short term goals,” said CEO and Founder of Black Risto Rossar.

“We will do an additional round of funding in 2019-2020 once initial milestones have been achieved, to fund becoming a licensed insurer and expand to new markets,” he added.

About Black

Black Insurance team is a great mix of insurance and blockchain industry veterans. Vision lead by Risto Rossar which came from his personal pain as an insurance broker. It is too costly and time consuming to launch a novel insurance product, hence he started seeking ways to bypass the route through insurance companies for underwriting.

Prof. Alex Norta, behind projects like Qtum, Cedex, Datawallet and Agrello, one of today’s highest regarded experts on smart contracts is behind the technical white paper.

Black Insurance is building an insurance enterprise platform. Admin costs in the creation of new insurance products will be reduced by 2x, time to market and capital requirement by 10x. The Black platform allows insurance brokers to bypass the traditional insurance companies and start selling policies using the Black partners’ license. Essentially like Lloyd’s of London but without the paperwork.

Dubai, United Arab Emirates, September 27, 2018 --(PR.com)-- NEXT Future Transportation Inc. ("NEXT"), the world’s only modular electric vehicle solutions provider announced a groundbreaking automated logistics solution for Smart and Connected Cities.

Following NEXT’s debut at this year’s World Government Summit in Dubai, the startup is proud to announce the introduction of its fully automated multiservice “online-to-offline” (O2O) platform, including a modular vehicle solution and the supporting operating system required to bring an ecosystem of logistics services to market at scale.

“To date NEXT has entirely focused on creating innovative solutions for the municipal mass transportation market. Today NEXT enters the global USD $2.3 trillion e-commerce market, which is driving a rapid transformation of the traditional retail supply chain,” said Emmanuele Spera, CEO of NEXT.

Built on NEXT’s patented modular transportation platform, the logistics solution is an automated electric vehicle system that is designed to be customizable and scalable for a wide range of Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) applications. A fully integrated logistics solution, NEXT compliments warehouse optimization strategies, and workflow environments of 3PL’s, Retailers and Manufacturers. The unique modular platform seamlessly integrates with mixed fleets of autonomous mobile robots existing operating systems.

Upon completion of the automated warehouse loading process, individual vehicles autonomously connect to form a fleet, thus allowing the joint internal space to be utilized. While in route, parcels may autonomously shift amongst vehicles to ensure optimal final delivery.

“NEXT’s approach fundamentally differs from all current Autonomous Ground Vehicles and e-Shuttlesin that our vehicle’s open interior design layout can flexibly adapt to accommodate specific needs. Furthermore, NEXT’s fleets may be operated by a human driver, a remote human operator, or autonomously. Therefore we plan to operate on public roadways in the near term,” said Tommaso Gecchelin, CTO of NEXT.

To meet the growing global market demands of future multi-mode transportation and business applications, NEXT is introducing the world’s first Modular Mobile Parcel Locker.

“Our unique locker solution will provide retailers with more control, while reducing the overall costs of delivery. The public will benefit from superior flexibility and ease of use as delivery locations are determined by customer proximity,” said Sven Hackmann, EVP of NEXT.

The Gulf region continues to be central to NEXT’s success. The UAE is at the forefront of adopting innovative technologies, which are accepted by a predominantly young and educated population.

“With digitization driving business trends in the Gulf region, organizations are increasingly adopting automation solutions in their processes. Warehouses are becoming automated with the aid of robotics and automation, and NEXT’s automated logistics solution will contribute to more efficient and faster last mile deliveries,” said Gecchelin.

NEXT remains deeply committed to the vision of His Highness Shaikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, who launched the Dubai Smart Autonomous Mobility Strategy where 25% of all journeys in Dubai will be transformed into driverless journeys by 2030. “We are fortunate to have received early support from the Dubai 's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) and DP World’s business accelerator Turn8. Meanwhile, we are excited to explore additional partnerships in the Gulf region,” said Spera.

NEXT will announce its project partners later this year.

Hingham, MA, September 27, 2018 --(PR.com)-- An unusually hot and humid Labor Day put the reliability of New England’s bulk power grid to the test for the first time since the region’s grid operator introduced new market rules known as Pay for Performance (PFP). Under the PFP rules, all resources, including intermittent resources like solar and wind, can be either penalized for underperformance, or paid for over performance, during rare but critical capacity shortage events.

On September 3, 2018, the Independent System Operator for New England (ISO-NE) declared such an event when sudden outages at two large natural gas units combined with higher than forecast power demand resulted in an operating reserve deficiency or scarcity event. In the late afternoon on September 3, the loss of gas supply from the Everett LNG facility due to a power outage that resulted from a distribution line fault triggered an outage at a 1,700 megawatt (MW) natural gas generator in Charlestown, Mass.

At the same time, the day turned out to be hotter and more humid than anticipated across the six state region. The peak temperature and dew point for the daytime hours in Boston were 94 and 73, above a forecast of 89 and 70, while in Hartford the peak temperature and dew point for the daytime hours were 94 and 74, relative to forecasts of 90 and 71. The heat pushed actual demand for power above the demand forecast by over 2,500 MW.

During the scarcity event, Genbright's portfolio of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs), including solar and demand response performed well, and based on preliminary reports, is expected to earn positive pay for performance payments. This is despite the fact that the performance interval lasted for over 2.5 hours and lasted well past peak solar production.

In addition to proving the suitability of stand-alone solar for participation in capacity markets under the new Pay for Performance market model, details of the scarcity event suggest that the benefits will be even greater when solar production is managed along with co-located energy storage. This is important because regulators in Massachusetts just approved a long-awaited slate of new incentives for solar and energy storage yesterday as part of the SMART program. SMART, which stands for Solar Massachusetts Renewable Target, was designed to bring an additional 1,600 megawatts of solar projects online in Massachusetts. A significant share of this new solar is likely to be co-located with energy storage projects.

According to Genbright LLC, a company based in Hingham, MA that specializes in managing distributed energy resources using its proprietary RAMP platform, performance data from the scarcity event that occurred on Labor Day provides insights into how solar plus storage projects can be actively managed to perform capacity supply obligations over a long duration event. The implications of this also provide a new perspective on storage and its role in providing reliability when co-located with solar.

“The capacity event in early September provided valuable new information that will help us derive strategies for managing co-located solar and energy storage projects in real time to meet capacity obligations for extended durations,” said Joe Crespo, CEO of Genbright. “For example, these strategies could make it possible to meet our obligations during events that last more than two hours, even when co-locating solar with a battery that only stores two hours of energy.”

The lessons learned during Labor Day’s scarcity event is good news for solar developers and the New England market in general, and demonstrates the increasingly important role that solar, storage and other DERs will play in providing improved resource diversity and reliability to ISO-NE and other ISOs.

Sausheim, France, September 28, 2018 --(PR.com)-- Systancia's cleanroom principle combines the performance, virtualization agility and security provided by privileged user monitoring mechanisms in order to meet the growing security requirements of administrator workstations. Systancia is the only player to master and offer a complete solution, by combining virtualization and cybersecurity to definitively address the security problems of privileged users' workstations.

A new security standard, inspired by the medical sector

An IT administrator has strategic missions for any organization and for the security of its data. However, their current tools are not up to the challenges and needs of companies: their workstations are not for single use and are exposed to daily threats.

It is common practice for an administrator to use the same workstation to perform critical tasks on information systems as well as traditional daily tasks (checking e-mails, internal instant messaging, etc.) or personal tasks (personal e-mails, social networks, etc.), which goes against the ANSSI's recommendations and can potentially be a major risk for the company.

Systancia was inspired by the medical sector to create a new approach and a new standard in IT security, to ensure that the strategic missions of administrators are managed in a single-use, sterile environment, monitored and dissociated from any other tasks from a single workstation: the Cleanroom.

- Single Use: When the administrator connects to his workstation, the IPdiva Cleanroom solution generates a virtual machine with all his tools and applications. When he logs out, the virtual machine is deleted. When he reconnects, a new single-use virtual machine is created.

- Sterile: A virtualized environment, i.e. a confined environment, is by definition sealed against the viruses present on the workstation.

- Monitored: The administrator's session is recorded with live streaming features for real-time viewing and interpretation of the administrator's behavior to ensure it is the one expected.

Immune against viruses, untouched by attack, this single-use virtual desktop is renewed at each launch, like a sealed airlock.

Like a syringe used for an injection, the question is no longer whether the workstation is protected from viruses or sterile, the rule is to change it for each new use.

"Systancia is the only publisher with a presence in the VDI, PAM and SSO markets. By combining these technologies within IPdiva Cleanroom, Systancia provides the IT administrators with an innovative, original and global solution," concludes Christophe Corne, Founder and Chairman of Systancia's Management Board.

About Systancia

Founded in 1998, Systancia is a recognized French software vendor in virtualization and cybersecurity, offering the next generation of application delivery infrastructure focused on users and security: application virtualization and VDI solutions, external access security, privileged access management (PAM), single sign-on (SSO), and identity management (IAM). Building on R&D as a growth engine, the Alsatian publisher relies on the technological value of its products and the closeness between its teams and its customers to meet the needs of users. Agile and in constant search of innovations, Systancia often outstrips the market leaders, breaking down the last barriers standing in front of it.

In 2017, Systancia achieved a turnover of 6.4 million euros and has 82 employees in three locations: Sausheim, Paris and Rennes.
