BlackBeltHelp Launches Artificial Intelligence(AI) for Higher Education to Automate Over 50% of IT Help Desk Support

$

Cleveland, OH, July 30, 2017 --(PR.com)-- BlackBeltHelp, the leading Help Desk support and Artificial Intelligence company, today announced that they are launching Artificial Intelligence for Higher Education to Automate Over 50% of IT Help Desk Support.

Problem Statement

Technology and student services play a pivotal role in higher education. There’s an evident rise in the level of help desk support demanded by students, faculty & staff, today. They seek convenience, increased channels of support and more availability. As the once widely accepted 9-5 service model is no longer meeting demand, Institution IT Departments are challenged to meet such increasing demand due to reduced resources.

BlackBeltHelp has been successfully providing IT Help Desk Services to 200+ institutions in the higher education space, globally, for more than 6 years. “50% of the help desk queries that we receive from these institutions are related to Password Reset. Most of the agent’s time and energy is consumed by this repetitive task of resetting the passwords,” says RonBhalla, CEO of BlackBeltHelp.

According to research by Gartner, 20-50% of a service desk’s call volume is just password reset. Also, a Whitepaper: Help Desk Security and Privacy Survey by SANS highlights that password reset is the most common and repetitive task that help desk agents deal with.

PricewaterhouseCoopers and Meta Group conducted a research to reach out on a conclusion that help desk tickets for password resets cost on average $60.93 per users annually, not jonly this but 45% of total help desk calls are for password resets. An institution with 5,000 FTE’s can save approximately $300,000 annually by implementing AI for Password Reset.

Here are few other top challenges that are being tackled by IT professional in higher education:

• Unstructured phone calls and walkup requests
• Long resolution times and lost issues
• Repetitive manual tasks leading to clerical mistakes
• Agent burnout

When the help desk doesn't respond fast enough, the mean time to resolution is longer, and frustration in your students, faculty, and staff increases. These results include declining customer satisfaction and lost enrollments. These are the facts. Whatever steps necessary must be taken to speed up responsiveness and resolutions to ensure student success.

BlackBeltHelp’s AI Solution

Recently BlackBeltHelp launched Artificial Intelligence for Higher Education to address the challenges in IT support in Higher Education. Everything from information on learning management systems, password resets, computers, desktop, smart phones, network connectivity, printers or scanners can be addressed within seconds resulting in the highest level of engagement and student satisfaction.

The BlackBeltHelp AI product serves four main purposes:

• Scale up support for students by automating responses to frequently asked questions
• Provide IT officers more data and insight to challenges faced by students
• Get personalized help to the students who need most it by reducing the amount of repetitive conversations
• Save time and money by resolving repetitive queries

BlackBeltHelp’s Artificial Intelligence Advantages:

• 10x faster resolution to student inquiries related to IT
• Ability to automate personalized messages to frequently asked questions
• Handle multiple end users at the same time
• Super low cost of maintenance

Girl Creates Global, Multi-Channel Media Network in Studio Apartment--Cracking the Code on OTT Distribution

New York, NY, July 31, 2017 --(PR.com)-- The OTT industry is one of the hottest markets around for content distribution. It can also be one of the most difficult to break into and TV Personality and Founder of the multi-channel network, BONBON Networks, has cracked the code on getting premium video content distributed.

"Three years ago, I started a talk show on a local cable channel in New York City. From the first show, I knew this is what I wanted to do with my life, and spent the next two years securing distribution on multiple media outlets. We grew from one channel, to four, then 7, 10, 20 and now 30. The media deals I struck, at first were with individual networks, but as the years went on, some brought very hard to reach partnerships like SONY, Samsung, Sharp, Amazon, Apple TV and Roku. The beginning of year three, with production cost skyrocketing, on a run one day, it hit me, the value was in the distribution,” said Founder, Bonnie Bruderer.

It was at this point, BONBON Networks launched the multi-channel media network (bonbonnetworks.com) with syndication on 30 OTT networks for all shows. This allows for premium content creators to have a channel for their shows and have immediate syndication. This solves the time, access, financial output and viewership issues a content creator would face if they tried to go it alone.

BONBON Networks is live, with 42 Channel Partners and is currently seeking new content creators to join the movement. They focus on premium content in lifestyle, inspiration and entrepreneurship.

ABOUT BONBON Networks:

BONBON Networks is a multi-channel media network, with syndication on 30 OTT Networks.

North Dakota State University Team Wins Big at International Aerial Robotics Competition

Fargo, ND, July 31, 2017 --(PR.com)-- A team of North Dakota State University students competed, for the first time in the university’s and state’s history, in the International Aerial Robotics Competition and won an award recognizing their technical design. The IARC is the world’s oldest aerial robotics competition for colleges and universities. NDSU’s team was recognized for excellence in the design of the air vehicle, payload, operations and risk reduction.

The competition, which was first held in 1991 is now in its 27th year of operation. According to the competition website, the competition is dedicated to “advancing the state of the art in autonomous aerial robotic behavior.” The competition’s goal is to “tackle challenges that are currently impossible for any flying robots owned by government or industry.” In some cases, challenges require multiple competition years to complete. The previous mission ran from 2010 to 2013, with the current mission starting in 2014.

“Challenges like the International Aerial Robotics Competition provide an opportunity for students to learn skills that they don’t easily acquire in the classroom,” noted Computer Science Asst. Prof. Jeremy Straub, who serves as the team’s faculty advisor. “This type of a competition is a nearly perfect analog for the workforce, where people from multiple technical backgrounds must work together to solve a technical challenge, usually under time pressure. The recognition of the technical paper is a testament to the technical strength of the team and its members.”

The team was the sole recipient of the Best Technical Paper award at the competition. This award recognizes the overall technical solution developed by the team as well as its presentation in the paper. The paper was presented by NDSU Computer Science freshman Abdullah Almosalami at the competition.

“Before implementation comes design,” noted Almosalami. “The IARC’s award for our paper is an indication of the strength of our technical solution and ability to complete the mission in the future. The competition’s task is one that is said to be impossible within the aerial robotics industry. This type of thing is exactly what progress looks like. It is creating a better world and I want to be part of that.”

The team plans to continue working on its aerial vehicle to prepare to compete again at next year’s competition.

Durham, NC, July 31, 2017 --(PR.com)-- Baebies is pleased to announce that SEEKERTM, a high throughput newborn screening laboratory solution, now has CE Mark and available in Europe and other countries that recognize CE Mark. SEEKER quantitatively measures the activity of lysosomal enzymes from newborn dried blood spot specimens. Reduced activity of these enzymes may be indicative of Mucopolysaccharidosis Type I (MPS I), Pompe, Gaucher or Fabry disease.

Newborn screening for lysosomal storage diseases (LSDs) has gained interest worldwide with the increasing availability of effective treatment options and accessible screening methods. In addition, several recent studies have highlighted higher incidence rates for certain LSDs than previously reported. “SEEKER’s ease of use enables the platform to be used in virtually any newborn screening program,” says Jerry Walter, Founder and President of the National Fabry Disease Foundation. “More babies screened for LSDs means more babies identified and diagnosed through clinical follow-up.”

“We are delighted to announce CE Mark for SEEKER,” said Richard West, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Baebies. “There is a tremendous interest in SEEKER outside the US due to its simple implementation and we are actively engaged with several customers,” added West.

As countries start or expand newborn screening programs, labs are challenged to find easy and cost-efficient ways to implement new assays. To address these needs, Baebies delivers SEEKER, a reliable, fast and easy to use solution for high throughput newborn screening. The pioneering platform features:

- Digital microfluidic technology which minimizes sample and reagent volumes.
- Minimal, easy to use equipment making installation and training quick and simple.
- All electronic workstation with no required daily maintenance so the platform is always up and running.
- Proprietary software that guides all skill levels through the minimal hands-on workflow.

San Diego, CA, July 31, 2017 --(PR.com)-- SEO: The Movie, a documentary about the history of search engine optimization (SEO), recently broke 100,000 views on YouTube. As a result, the already popular Ignite Visibility YouTube channel now has over one million views.

"SEO: The Movie has really taken off,” says Ignite Visibility CEO John Lincoln. “The community has enjoyed the film and we are very proud of that. If you have not seen the movie, it can be viewed for free on our website and YouTube channel.”

The documentary covers the history of SEO from the early days, when digital marketers would “rank and bank” with now obsolete techniques such as keyword-stuffing. The film also looks at more modern approaches to optimization, such as the use of accelerated mobile pages (AMP) and third-party tools such as SpyFu, SEMRush, Ahrefs, and Majestic.

In addition to highlighting the milestones throughout the growth of SEO, the movie also features interviews with industry all-stars, such as Rand Fishkin, Cindy Krum, Brian Dean, Bruce Clay, Eric Ward, Bill Slawski, Chris Sherman, Shawn Hogan, Eric Enge, Maile Ohye, Loren Baker, and others.

Machine Harvest Your Asparagus

$

Stockton, CA, July 31, 2017 --(PR.com)-- The new Geiger-Lund selective mechanical asparagus harvester had its debut in Nyssa, Oregon this spring (2017). Geiger-Lund spent the season working out the bugs of the new design and the machine is now ready for marketing.

The harvester has a recommended harvesting speed of 2-3 mph and recovers about seventy five to eighty percent of the spears when compared to a hand crew. The machine fills lug boxes with oriented spears, all pointing in the same direction.

Previous machines required one or more workers to sort the spears and put them in the boxes. The new machine eliminates the human labor and puts the spears in the boxes mechanically.

The most expensive part of machine harvesting is still the human labor involved. By eliminating the “on machine” labor, the cost of harvesting drops significantly.

Flexibility is another major advantage of machine harvesting. Since all you need are tractor drivers for harvesting the asparagus, you can make last minute decisions about when to harvest without worrying about whether or not you can get a crew together. The Geiger-Lund machine can even be run 24 hours a day.

The harvesters are custom built to fit the grower’s row centers and the desired number of headers on the machine. Geiger-Lund can build one, two, three or four row machines as tractor pull type machines or they can be built to be mounted to the tractor with a 3 point hitch.

For more information and all the details about Geiger-Lund harvesters please visit Geiger-Lund Harvesters' website at www.asparagusharvester.com.

Medlantis Launches "Vital Video"

Toronto, Canada, August 01, 2017 --(PR.com)-- Medlantis is launching Vital Video, a data-mining engine for medical video to help healthcare professionals solve their problem of staying clinically current given an overwhelming rate of change in medical, technical, and clinical innovation.

“Vital Video is specifically designed to highlight short video clips of how physicians use medical technology to perform interventions requiring high-degrees of skill. We get the worlds’ leading medical 20-40 minute training videos, and automatically segment them into 2-4-minute clips covering case studies, technology comparisons, risk mitigation, safety, etc... Medlantis then sorts and serves up short clips of highest relevance to physicians, nurses, technologists and medtech professionals, alerting them when new clips match their interests. Using transcription, keyword, contextual and sentiment analysis, meta-tagging, filtering and search features, all fed through a relevancy engine, Medlantis offers a highly effective learning experience. This gives medical professionals access to short, relevant, ‘vital video’ clips they need without having to search for it all themselves, which in practice is impossible,” said Dr. Kieran Murphy, an internationally renowned neuro-radiologist, medtech entrepreneur, and founding Chairman of Medlantis. “Our users represent the current and next generation of healthcare professionals, and they expect digital and on-demand access to relevant teaching. We give them exactly that.”

“Medical teaching, based on face-to-face mentorship, is effective but phenomenally inefficient. Over the next 20 years, the growth in the world’s healthcare training needs will come from emerging markets, as well as the developed world. Up until recently, it’s been possible to teach and train only through face-to-face workshops, symposiums, and conferences – which is extremely difficult for emerging market physicians to attend. Medical societies are fantastic at attracting experts and delivering these experiences with a high level of quality, and this is why Medlantis partners with them. The learners, however, are increasingly international, and more often than not, cannot attend these excellent teaching opportunities. We’ve done the hard work of bringing it to them with a high degree of relevance, and optimized for mobile viewing,” explained Andrew Witchell, COO of Medlantis.

During the public beta, Vital Video was tested in dozens of emerging market countries. “I think I have found a jewel today. This means so, so, much to me in my studies. Thanks a lot. I have no words now to say thank you. This program is a great initiative and I would definitely recommend it,” explained Suyogya W. a first year resident in the department of radiology, TU Teaching Hospital, Institute of Medicine, Maharajgunj, Nepal.

Medlantis data mines & matches 1000's of hours of medical lectures, cases, procedures, workshops, and demonstrations from the world's top medical societies then matches that information to a Healthcare Professional's interests and preferences to help them vastly improve the return on their enormous effort invested in staying clinically current.

Avro tracker combines advanced GPS tracking technology, cloud-based monitoring and management software and a tiered service and support program to provide a solution that is scalable and adaptable for any size fleet. Avro Tracker is included with all new and used GSE equipment that is purchased, leased or rented from Avro GSE and is also available as an add-on telematics solution for existing GSE to provide customers with a convenient upgrade path.

"Modern airport operations require real-time visibility and control over the health and performance of GSE to maximize its operational efficiency, avoid downtime and ensure the safety of workers on the ground and passengers on the plane,” commented Glynn Haughton, Business Development Manager for Avro GSE. “We help GSE owners and operators to modernize their fleet to the next generation of telematics-enabled equipment by providing them with a smooth, seamless and cost-effective migration path to the future.”

Avro Tracker provides a total fleet maintenance and management solution that monitors equipment location, operating status and operator usage. It provides alerts whenever a pre-defined threshold violation or event trigger is detected and captures historical data for ongoing reporting and analysis.

Business Impact
Because there is a direct correlation between airline ground time and profitability, the goal of every ground support operation is to minimize ground time while operating in a safe and cost-efficient manner. Avro GSE achieves this goal as it delivers real business impact by reducing equipment downtime, improving equipment performance and ensuring a safe environment.

Together, Avro GSE and Avro Tracker provide the visibility and control needed to manage GSE operations and follow an optimized preventive maintenance schedule that ensures peak operating efficiency as it mitigates the high cost of repairs and unscheduled service calls.
