Akoya and EDGE partner to drive greater transparency and financial inclusion in consumer lending

Leave a comment


“The entire team at Akoya is excited to partner with EDGE in its mission to enable cash flow underwriting for consumer loans, credit cards, and more with lenders large and small alike,” said Ted Anastasi, Head of Growth at Akoya. “Our core values are aligned around empowering consumers and enabling the credit ecosystem to decision on a more complete financial picture.”

EDGE recently announced its status as a consumer reporting agency, establishing the first and only cash flow bureau with risk analytics equivalent to mainstream credit bureaus but based entirely on bank balance and transaction data from aggregators and data access networks like Akoya.

“As a CRA, we’re committed to the highest level of data privacy and security standards,” said EDGE’s CEO, Brian Reshefsky. “In combination with the protocols and protections core to Akoya’s network, we’re uniquely positioned to drive broader adoption of cash flow underwriting without compromising the security of each individual consumer’s personal information.”

The combined data and analytics of Akoya and EDGE will enable lenders to make underwriting decisions based on more intelligence about a consumer’s ability to pay than traditional credit reports and scores have allowed. Better data leading to better decisions enables EDGE customers to approve more loans and offer better terms to credit-seeking consumers.

Akoya is unique in not only its inception as a jointly owned service of the nation’s largest financial institutions but also in the methods by which it accesses and processes consumer financial data. By the end of 2023, Akoya will enable access to over 70% of U.S. bank accounts all through consumer-permissioned, direct, API-enabled connectivity.

Unlike legacy bank data aggregators, Akoya does not screen scrape any account at any financial institution – 100% of Akoya’s data comes directly from the consumer’s financial institution or its core banking system. Nor does Akoya retain, store, or resell any consumer credentials passed through its platform to customers such as EDGE.

“Our business model is a natural fit with EDGE,” added Anastasi. “Akoya exists to provide access to consumers’ data at the upstream banks we serve whenever and however consumers wish to share their data. When consumers seeking credit provide permission to EDGE and its customers to access their data, everyone in the value chain from banks to lenders to consumers enjoys the added comfort that it’s a consumer reporting agency facilitating the underwriting decision.”

The solutions delivered by EDGE that will be powered by Akoya’s data include:

  • EdgeConnect: Consumer-permissioned banking activity data including balances and transactions, harmonized and normalized in EDGE’s analytics engine across data providers
  • EdgeIncome: Detection of deposits from an employer or benefits provider analyzed for consistency and stability to enable EDGE customers to underwrite against verified income
  • EdgeEnrich: Actionable insights built on top of EdgeConnect data that lenders can utilize in their own credit risk models / scorecards and which power Edge’s industry-leading credit risk score
  • EdgeScore: Expanding suite of credit risk scores similar to FICO2 and VantageScore2 based entirely on consumer-permissioned cash flow data
  • EdgeRefine: Turnkey solution to inform credit box, decision tree, and scorecard rules for seamless plug-and-play integration of EDGE insights with lenders’ existing underwriting processes
  • EdgeMonitor: Ongoing risk analytics and alerts over the life of an open credit account that enable lenders to proactively engage consumers who encounter financial stress in order to reach mutually beneficial outcomes

“The quality, certainty, and immediacy that Akoya provides are a step-change for our business,” added Reshefsky. “Our customers can decision with more confidence with the highest quality data and connectivity in the industry. At the same time, consumers can engage with EDGE and our lending customers with more confidence than ever that their data privacy and security concerns are addressed and resolved thanks to our partnership with Akoya.”

About Akoya:

Akoya is transforming the way consumer financial data is accessed and shared. Through a single integration to the Akoya, financial institutions can directly connect with data aggregators, fintechs, and other financial institutions to securely share consumer-permissioned financial data through APIs. Akoya manages these relationships and serves as an interoperable solution available to the entire financial services industry. We are an API-only network that offers security, transparency, and scale. Learn more at akoya.com.

About EDGE:

EDGE provides a consumer risk score based on bank account transactions. The platform was launched by the lenders, entrepreneurs, and data scientists who pioneered data-driven digital lending for Everyday Americans. EDGE delivers risk insights for use cases across the credit account lifecycle that have been performance-tested on real world lending decisions on over three billion bank transactions linked to over half a billion dollars in loans since 2017.

Maxon Congratulates 75th Emmy Awards Visual Effects Nominees

Leave a comment


“Since the inception of Stormborn Studios, Redshift has been one of the core pieces of our pipeline and without it we would not have been able to accomplish these massive simulations with the resources we had. Without Redshift, rendering would have otherwise presented a major hurdle for us and as a result it is a significant reason why, as a small studio, we are able to compete in the VFX category,” says Goran Pavles, VFX Supervisor at Stormborn Studios.

Members of the Elastic team, whose previous work includes the iconic “Game of Thrones” opening sequences, have also been recognized for their production of the title sequences for “The Last of Us” with nominations for Outstanding Main Title Design. With the creation of the opening sequence for this series the team knew they had to convey a sense of chaos and increasing fear of the spreading virus. When researching fungi they noticed the similarities between the behavior of the fungus and humans: like humans, fungi create networks, communicate, reproduce and even experience competition and conflict, which ultimately made it the perfect motif to represent a show where the fungal infection has taken over human civilization. Elastic 3D artist, G-Ryun Kim, was responsible for the 3D animation, finer compositing and fungus simulation and found Cinema 4D was the perfect tool for this project. With an aim to balance expectations and appeal to existing fans of the game, as well as attract new viewers and create something wholly different, Kim expected there to be a huge number of ideas and changes throughout the process and needed a tool that would flex with the team’s needs.

“Using Cinema 4D allowed me to set this project up to be easily modified from the beginning,” says Kim. “We intended for there to be multiple cuts, but ultimately decided to create the one take camera animation, which makes the viewers feel as if they are part of the journey. There needed to be careful attention to detail for the fungi animation and I continuously made adjustments to the speed of the spreading mold, aligning it with the modifications to the camera speed and angles. Cinema 4D was essential for this type of situation.”

Imaginary Forces creative director, Ronnie Koff, and his team also used Maxon’s suite of products as an integral part of their creation process. From ideation to execution, they seamlessly adapted the suite into the creation of the main titles for “Hello Tomorrow!” on Apple TV+, which are nominated for Outstanding Main Title Design. Encapsulating the retro-futuristic theme of the series, these titles bring the 1950’s inventions and dreams of tomorrow to life.

“The beauty of Cinema 4D is that it feels like a designer’s tool,” says Koff. “We use it for prototyping, sculpting, animation, texture, and lighting without needing to use any additional software.”

Maxon CEO David McGavran said, “We are thrilled to see talented artists and studios recognized for their exceptional work and hear how they use our tools to create such outstanding results. At Maxon, we understand what is necessary to achieve the highest standards of visual effects and we are committed to providing the best resources to help creatives bring these amazing ideas and visuals to life.”

Fairmarkit’s Automated Sourcing Launches Integrated Quoting connecting Amazon Business

Leave a comment


Fairmarkit’s Amazon Business integration harnesses the power of Amazon for enterprise; helps buyers find competitive prices for products at enterprise-scale

BOSTON, Aug. 24, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Fairmarkit, the autonomous sourcing solution transforming the procurement of goods and services for enterprises, today announces a collaboration with Amazon Business that enables customers to automatically and directly request quotations from the Amazon Business selection for goods of all categories. This collaboration is helpful for both buyers and sellers. For enterprise buyers, it unlocks unprecedented access to Amazon Business and its vast global supply base, creating an easy way to fill supply chain continuity gaps, discover suppliers aligned with ESG and diversity goals, and meet urgent needs that cannot be covered by the existing supplier base. For that vast network of suppliers, it opens sales opportunities at unprecedented scale.

Amazon Business’ collaboration with Fairmarkit gives enterprise buyers a streamlined vehicle to engage with the full range of Amazon Business offers, with the level of automation and other benefits they expect from Fairmarkit sourcing, including reduced cycle time, greater visibility into spends, higher savings, and improved compliance and diversity maintenance. With Integrated Quoting, power bulk buyers of our mutual business customers will add Amazon Business as a supplier to send Request for Quotes (RFQs). Once completed, the RFQ is transmitted via API to Amazon Business, processed in their internal, automated systems, and a unique and individualized quote offer is returned in the required time to the customers.

“Our mission is to enable organizations to purchase the goods and services they need in the most efficient and fair way possible, and this collaboration does exactly that at scale,” said Kevin Frechette, CEO of Fairmarkit. “Amazon Business’ global footprint along with providing access to hundreds of millions of products worldwide, makes this a powerful alliance. We’re appreciative of Amazon Business’ ongoing support, leadership and knowledge and look forward to what’s to come.”

This collaboration expands the addressable market segment by putting Amazon Business in front of the world’s largest buyers, while also providing them access to Fairmarkit’s supplier portal for added advantages, including streamlined communication, increased visibility into the procurement process, access to real-time data and analytics, and more. With this integration, procurement teams get access to the best offers quickly and in one place, enabling faster reactions to urgent or changing requirements.

Fairmarkit’s integration capabilities automate manual source-to-award workflows by connecting ERP and P2P systems, and enable customers to source from over 500,000 suppliers. In addition, it aims to increase competition and drive savings on RFQ events on goods for customers, while rationalizing the supply base and reducing supply chain risk.

Fairmarkit was named to the 2022 Inc. 5000 fastest-growing private companies list, ranking #159 overall and #5 in Massachusetts, and currently serves enterprises such as BP, BT, Emirates, Snowflake, ServiceNow, and Boeing. Fairmarkit was recognized by Forbes as one of America’s Best Startup Employers 2023, and customers continue to experience 11.5% cost savings on purchases and a 60%+ reduction in manual procurement efforts.

About Fairmarkit
Fairmarkit is the intelligent sourcing platform that empowers organizations to more efficiently purchase the goods and services they need. By equipping procurement and supply-chain teams with automation and data, Fairmarkit promotes competitive bidding while reducing manual work within existing processes. Leveraged across a number of industries by innovative procurement departments, such as BP, Snowflake, Cabot Corporation, and Refinitiv, Fairmarkit aims to revolutionize the way organizations make purchases.

Provance and Germany-Based Customer VDE Services GmbH Expand Partnership

Leave a comment


Provance is excited to expand its partnership with VDE Services GmbH, the internal IT Service Provider for the VDE Group. With a history of innovation and excellence, VDE Services is leveraging Provance’s Power Platform-based ServiceTeam product family to enhance its IT Service Management (ITSM) capabilities and elevate service quality. This strategic shift aligns with VDE’s investment in Microsoft products and aims to modernize ITSM and IT Asset Management, leading to improved efficiency, cost savings, and elevated services for employees and customers alike.

GATINEAU, QC, Aug. 24, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Provance, a leading provider of IT Service Management (ITSM) products for Microsoft-centric organizations, is delighted to announce the expansion of its customer partnership with VDE Services GmbH (VDE Services), the internal IT Service Provider for the VDE Group. VDE, one of the largest technology organizations in Europe, has been regarded as a synonym for innovation and technological progress. The VDE mark has been synonymous with the highest safety standards and consumer protection for more than 100 years. The relationship between VDE Services and Provance began in 2018 and has recently been reaffirmed with a new three-year agreement completed in Q1 2023.

One of the key factors driving the extension of this partnership with VDE Services is its strategic shift from Provance’s legacy ITSM product to Provance’s latest offering—the Power Platform-based and Power Apps-built ServiceTeam product family. As an organization with a substantial investment in Microsoft products, including Microsoft Dynamics 365, Finance and Operations, and other market leading Microsoft technologies, VDE Services and therefore also VDE Group companies increasingly take advantage of the potential of the Power Platform.

VDE Services has consistently demonstrated its commitment to innovation and leveraging technology to enhance its business operations and provide exceptional services to its clients. With an eye towards the future, VDE Services aims to modernize its ITSM and IT Asset Management (ITAM) capabilities, reduce costs, and elevate the level of services it offers to its employees and customers, all made possible through the Power Platform and Provance ServiceTeam.

“Every once in a while, we work with clients who transcend what being a customer is and become a true partner,” says Kelly Moodie, CEO of Provance. “A partnership based on a long-term view of relationship and success, based on shared goals and outcomes, trust, and where both parties achieve value for their respective businesses. This is how we view our partnership with VDE Services, and it is very exciting.”

“As part of the VDE Group, VDE Services is all about innovation and technology. Our customers and employees expect a high level of quality and responsiveness for their business.” said Burkhard StrRder, General Manager of VDE Services. “VDE Services has been and continues to be heavily invested in Microsoft cloud based platform products to run our business, and our partnership with Provance allows us to extend those investments in technology and people expertise to our IT service management operations. The concept of platform in today’s service management world provides a level of efficiency and savings not available from many vendors. Microsoft and Provance provide us with this critical advantage.”

The Power Platform’s robust capabilities (including Power BI, Power Automate, Power Virtual Agent, AI Builder) combined with Provance’s expertise in ITSM, will empower VDE Services to achieve its goals effectively. By embracing the Power Platform and implementing Provance ServiceTeam, VDE Services expects to streamline its ITSM and ITAM processes, enhance operational efficiency and automation, and elevate the overall quality of its services. Furthermore, VDE Services anticipates significant cost savings and improved user experiences for its employees and clients alike.
