Xitron Establishes Workflow Trade-Up Program

0
0

Ann Arbor, MI, April 13, 2016 --(PR.com)-- Xitron, the leading independent developer of RIP and workflow products for commercial, digital, and high-speed inkjet printing has established a formal trade-up program for prepress workflow users whose software has reached end-of-life, or have found normal upgrade costs prohibitive. The plan assigns a valuation to be used against the purchase of Navigator Version 11 Harlequin RIPs and workflows, or Adobe-based Sierra workflow systems sold through Xitron dealers worldwide.

“When a prepress manager discovers that the software he or she has relied on for years will not be further developed or updated, it can be a trying event,” according to Karen Crews, President of Xitron. There may be features or functionality lacking, which could be improved with a new system and that’s a positive aspect; but the cost of replacement, especially when it’s not planned for, can strain operating budgets. “What we hope to do with this program is make it easier for users to bring their prepress departments up to the latest technology,” she added.

Xitron’s Sierra workflow incorporates the latest Adobe PDF Print Engine (3.8) in a client-server architecture that includes dynamic imposition, JDF compatibility, and 3D soft proofing of finished jobs. When coupled with Sierra’s three free years of support and upgrades, the trade-up program can literally save thousands of dollars off of normal pricing. Navigator 11 is built around the core Global Graphics Harlequin RIP together with workflow modules for preflight, ink re-mapping, and imposition, and similar savings to the end user are available.

All high-resolution RIPs and workflows are eligible for participation in the program; the only requirement being a surrender of the old software’s license key or dongle once installation of the new system has been completed and approved.

About Xitron
Xitron develops advanced workflow systems and interfaces to drive the prepress industry’s most popular new, and legacy output devices, prolonging our customers’ investments. In addition, Xitron’s pressroom workflow solutions extend the functionality of press consoles from a number of industry-leading press manufacturers. Xitron’s Navigator RIP, Raster Blaster TIFF Catcher, and Sierra Workflow solutions are recognized as prepress standards. Built around the Harlequin RIP core technology from Global Graphics and the Adobe PDF Print Engine from Adobe Systems, Xitron engineers continue to develop solutions for the graphic arts market, driving hundreds of different models of imagesetters, proofers, platesetters, inkjet printers, and digital presses. With shipments of more than 30,000 RIPs, Xitron is the largest independent provider in the market. For more information about Xitron, visit us at www.xitron.com.

Publisafe Releases PubliCam, a Map-Based Security Camera Registration Application

0
0

Chicago, IL, April 13, 2016 --(PR.com)-- Publisafe announces the release of PubliCam, a private security camera registration application. PubliCam assists Police Departments in investigating incidents, helps to deter crime and promotes community involvement.

Recent proliferation of private security cameras represents an important public safety development, creating an additional source of visual information. Many communities recognize the potential benefits of recordings made by private cameras, as they can help local Police Departments with investigations. Consequently, local PDs are setting up databases of private security cameras and Police Departments from California to Pennsylvania report positive results, both in terms of crimes being solved and the deterrent these programs play within their communities.

PubliCam is a joint public-private initiative program that encourages citizens to register their security cameras with the local police. When a crime has been committed, Publicam serves as a visual, map-based tool for police to identify the registered cameras in the proximity of the event and assists the police in requesting copies of camera recordings from the camera owners. The program is strictly voluntary and the police do not have access to live camera feeds. PubliCam is also a powerful and convenient communication tool: it allows the Police to send emails and/or text messages to camera owners. Police can select an individual owner, or a group of owners from a particular area on the map, and send them messages without leaving the map. Messages to all owner could be sent as well.

PubliCam, which is a mobile-friendly application, allows registrants to place security cameras in their exact location using a detailed local map. This makes the location more precise, and more useful for the police, than just supplying an address. Camera owners provide other pertinent information about their cameras and the contact information. This information is stored in secure databases; only the police have password-protected access.

PubliCam is a cloud-based app which is supported and maintained by Publisafe.

For more information about PubliCam, please visit www.coprs.com/publicam. PubliCam is a Publisafe product; for more information about Publisafe, please visit the company's web site at www.publisafe.com.

Employee Financial Wellness Program Enrich Wins Education Program of the Year Award

0
0

San Diego, CA, April 13, 2016 --(PR.com)-- iGrad, the leading provider of financial wellness in higher education, is awarded top honors for its workplace financial education platform through Enrich.org – the Enrich platform wins the 2016 “Education Program of the Year” award from The Institute for Financial Literacy.

In a 2016 survey by AONHewitt, 56% of employers reported they are very likely to focus on the financial wellbeing of their employees in 2016, up from 30% in 2014 (http://www.aon.com/attachments/human-capital-consulting/2016-hot-topics-retirement-financial-wellbeing-report.pdf#page=14). The top two reasons for this increase in focus were that “it’s the right thing to do” and “to increase employee engagement.”

Although financial wellness programs have clear benefits for employers, the Enrich white-label financial wellness platform was created primarily to improve the lives of employees. A recent study conducted by Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) concluded that almost 60% of Americans households still don’t have at least three months of savings at hand (http://www.usfinancialcapability.org/results.php?region=US).

“Feeling financially insecure is very stressful,” said CEO Rob LaBreche. “You can be sure that if an employee is stressed about their finances, it will absolutely have an impact on their job performance in some way.”

“The need is stunning,” added VP Kris Alban, referring to the more than 25% of employees that report being distracted at work because of financial difficulties. As educators with a passion for financial literacy, we used the effective techniques we learned in higher ed to optimize this workplace solution, allowing employers to educate and empower their employees.”

The Enrich white label platform allows employers and companies to integrate the online program with their own websites, employee assistance program, or personal finance management system to create a familiar, trustworthy and seamless experience for employees, customers, family and staff.

The Enrich platform employs adaptive and interactive models to curb behavior and maximize engagement. Users have access to resources such as videos, games, personalized action plans and articles - with fresh content added daily by expert contributors like best-selling authors Sharon Lechter and Terry Savage (http://www.enrich.org/about/).

“We now have a deep understanding of how to help people achieve financial wellness and enrich the lives of our learners but we want to take every opportunity to have an even greater impact,” says Alban.

Jennifer Robison of the Gallup Business Journal reports that workers with low wellbeing can cost employers as much as $28,800 in lost productivity as a result of sick days in comparison to the $840 in lost productivity of those who reported high levels of wellbeing (http://www.gallup.com/businessjournal/139373/business-case-wellbeing.aspx). Gallup research teams have spent more than 50 years in partnership with leading economists and psychologists studying wellbeing and have concluded that financial wellness is an essential element for a thriving, productive employee.

The Institute for Financial Literacy - a nonprofit organization established in 2002 - created the Excellence In Financial Literacy Education (EIFLE) Award to promote the effective delivery of consumer financial products, services and education by acknowledging the accomplishments of those that advance financial literacy education. EIFLE winners last year included Experian and FINRA (http://eifleawards.org/hall-of-fame/2015-winners/).

About Enrich:

Empowered by their success working with over 600 schools and 1.2 million students in higher education, the iGrad team hopes to impact the financial wellness of a much broader audience – with Enrich.

In launching Enrich, the company partners with employers, financial institutions and benefits providers to provide a financial wellness program which is tailored to the unique needs of individual groups and users. The white label co-branding allows companies to integrate the platform with their own website, employee assistance program, or personal finance management system, creating a familiar, trustworthy and seamless experience for employees, customers, family and staff.

About iGrad:

Today, the adaptive learning platform serves over 1.2 million students across 600 schools and organizations around the country by providing a campus-wide financial literacy program that assists students in learning to manage (student) loans, understand the dynamics of affording a home, paying credit card bills, investing, budgeting and planning for emergencies. The platform also offers schools the ability to augment personal finance and financial literacy courses currently taught in the classroom.

The Supply Chain USA Pavilion is a great place to connect with the business partners they need to meet today’s consumer and market demands. We also encourage all show-goers to join in the networking event where they can relax after a full day at the show to socialize and strengthen business relationships.”

Located near a main entrance to Hall B of the Georgia World Congress Center, the Supply Chain USA Pavilion will comprise 38 individual SEAMS member exhibits. Key product and service groupings include yarns, fabrics and industrial textiles; cut and sew contract manufacturing and full package production and fulfillment services; information technology and consulting services; trims, findings, threads and other supplies.

In keeping with the company’s ongoing advocacy efforts regarding data protection software (http://www.jetico.com/) for a broad range of users, Jetico believes this added commitment to encryption and wiping technology will best defend its customers from today’s increasingly sophisticated cybercriminals.

The Ubiquitous Voice Society Launches with 9 Chapters in the US and Internationally

0

McLean, VA, April 13, 2016 --(PR.com)-- The Ubiquitous Voice Society, a McLean, Virginia based non-profit organization with the mission of nurturing the next generation of voice user experience researchers, designers, product managers, marketers, and entrepreneurs, today announced its launch with 9 chapters nationally and internationally. In addition to its DC-Metro, McLean based headquarter chapter, the Ubiquitous Voice Society is launching with chapters in Boston, New York, Cleveland, and San Jose, and four international chapters in Toronto, Canada, Paris, France, Berlin, Germany, and Algiers, Algeria.

“Voice is clearly the next iteration in the evolution of digital user interfaces,” said Dr. Ahmed Bouzid, co-founder and President of the Society. “The touch, tap and swipe User Interface (UI) has served us well since the emergence of the iPhone in 2007, and will continue to serve us well, but a whole world of use cases is emerging where the visual touch UI just can’t keep up with what we humans want to do and how we want to do it. The drive now is for interactions that are minimally disruptive and, ideally, invisible: the interfaces let you do what you want to do with little disruptive effort and then they get out of your way.”

Citing the surprising success of the Amazon Echo, Dr. Bouzid, a former Amazon executive who had previously launched and headed the Connected Home (CoHo) product initiative for the Amazon Alexa team, adds: “There is no way you will consume your music at home the old way of looking up a song, or controlling the volume, or pausing the music, the current way of tapping and swiping after you have done it a few times by simple voice with the Amazon Echo. It’s almost like going back to your manual carbon ribbon typewriter once you have used a word processor. It’s clearly a superior and liberating experience, and patently the next level of usability.”

The challenge that Dr. Bouzid sees, however, is one of dearth in research and design expertise, compounded by one of a scarcity in young entrepreneurs who are excited about, and who intuitively grasp the emerging massive possibilities for pursuing ventures in the voice and conversational technology space.

“There is no doubt that interest in conversational technologies is heightening,” said Lisa Falkson, UVS San Jose Chapter Head. “Technologies and platforms are quickly emerging to enable the next generation of products. The challenge, however, is the shortage of talent. At UVS, we want to help accelerate the rate of value delivering innovation by promoting a more focused and organized push to find and nurture the needed talent.”

To deliver on that mission, Dr. Bouzid and the chapter heads of the newly launched UVS, will initially focus on organizing meetups to build up excitement and energy around the mission of delivering on the promise of voice. The initial meetings will feature professionals in the space who will provide overviews of the field and showcase real products and platforms that are available in the market today. The groups will especially actively seek out students and young professionals who are interested in starting a career or a venture in the field of Ubiquitous Voice.
