Tech App Buzze Launches, Revolutionizes EV Charging for Drivers


Buzze is a local Arizona start up with national ambitions to encourage individuals to switch to electric vehicles and promote sustainable transportation options. Aaron Lieberman, a former Arizona State Representative, is the founder and CEO of Buzze. The company’s initial geographic focus is the Greater Phoenix Area, and Buzze already has more than 60 hosts across the Valley, from New River to Casa Grande and everywhere in between. In celebration of the launch, Buzze will be offering free EV charging at all hosts across the valley for the week, ending on November 15th.

“Just this week, the City of Phoenix was awarded the EV City Award by Plug In America,” said Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego. “So we are thrilled that a hometown company like Buzze is launching their innovative model in Phoenix first. I am excited about Buzze’s focus on providing more charging options to renters and apartment dwellers, helping to meet the need while we work to expand the network of public chargers.”

“Anyone who has driven an EV knows these are awesome cars, and much cheaper to operate than their gas counterparts,” said Aaron Lieberman, Chairman and CEO of Buzze. “But if we don’t address the needs of the charging challenged, 40% of the potential buyers will be cut out of the EV revolution. Buzze solves this issue, and our mission is to create a neighborhood network of EV chargers to help get one million EVs to the road. When we do so, we will have helped remove 4.6 million metric tons of carbon dioxide from the air per year.”

The easy-to-use Buzze app shows EV drivers a map of nearby level 2 charging hosts for EV drivers to select from and schedule their next charging appointment. At the time of the appointment, the driver will arrive at the host’s home to charge their vehicle. The Buzze app is then able to meter the charge through the car’s telematics, and then settle the payment. Buzze then charges at the driver, and compensates the host for the energy used, allowing them to earn additional income – even if they’re not at home.

Across the country, EV adoption is growing rapidly, with an expected growth from 3 million in EV in the US in 2022 to over 30 million in just the next decade. Arizona is among the top 10 states for EV adoption. Maricopa County, a region known for its growing population and technological advancements, is the perfect location for Buzze’s launch–accelerating the transition towards sustainable transportation in the county, and the country. Maricopa County residents can join the EV revolution now by downloading the mobile app, available for download in the Apple Store and Google Play.

Buzze
Buzze leverages the power of the sharing economy and the existing home charging infrastructure to provide fast, affordable and reliable charging solutions for EV drivers, while creating new income streams for homeowners and reducing carbon emissions. Buzze’s mission is to help get one million new EVs on the road by connecting EV drivers with a convenient network of shared charging hosts. Buzze was founded by former Arizona State Representative, Aaron Lieberman. For more information, visit: https://www.buzze.biz/.

Vitally releases “The Secret Lives of CSMs” report, highlights anxieties, mental health challenges plaguing Customer Success Managers and calls for solutions


New data indicates low job security and sleep deprivation impact Customer Success leaders, often stemming from poor work-life balance and the always-on nature of remote work

NEW YORK, Nov. 8, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Vitally, the first Customer Success Platform (CSP) specifically designed for maximizing productivity, visibility, and collaboration, today released the findings of “The Secret Lives of CSMs” report. A survey of hundreds of Customer Success Managers (CSMs) in the U.S. revealed that their role is crucial to business success in the current economic climate, but employees with that title are burnt out, overworked, and often underpaid. Businesses that are unable to remedy these issues run the risk of losing a significant segment of their revenue-generating workforce.

B2B businesses, particularly those in the SaaS sector, are currently facing economic turmoil following a brief pandemic-induced boom. Acquiring new customers is now an uphill battle, which makes the roles of CSMs — who are responsible for preventing churn and maximizing the value of existing accounts — even more critical. Fortunately, according to the report, CSMs largely enjoy their work, with 89% reporting they find genuine fulfillment in assisting their clients. What’s more, many show great ambition to grow into senior leadership positions with 53% aspiring to become a VP of Customer Success and 45% a Chief Customer Officer.

Yet, at the same time, almost half (47%) report experiencing burnout at their job. This largely stems from increased pressures to drive results amidst a challenging economy and provide superior customer service for a global customer base. To make matters worse, 44% of CSMs didn’t receive a raise or promotion in the last 12 months, and 35% feel inadequately compensated for their work, highlighting a concerning gap between their dedication and the recognition they receive in terms of compensation. But even bigger than the financial toll CSMs face is the mental strain: 46% report their job has negatively impacted their sleep, and 39% say their job has negatively impacted their mental health within the past six months.

“Customer Success Managers are driven by passion and a genuine desire to help their clients,” said Jamie Davidson, CEO and co-Founder of Vitally. “But a down market for SaaS companies combined with around-the-clock demands brought on by remote work and global customer bases have increased the stress load for CSMs, to the point where their mental and physical health are being negatively impacted. At Vitally, we are leading the charge to give CS teams all the tools they need to be as productive as possible, so that CSMs can get everything done during the workday instead of feeling like they have to be on-the-clock after hours — or worse, while they’re on vacation.”

Additional key findings include:

  • 47% of CSMs report experiencing burnout at their job. Of those, 36% report experiencing burnout at a significant frequency
  • In fact, 48% of CSMs say they’re passively open to new opportunities, and it’s no wonder why: Half of the CSMs who aspire to become a VP of Customer Success or Chief Customer Officer (CCO) say there isn’t a clear path into that role unless someone vacates the role
  • 76% of CSMs worry about their job security at least occasionally. Of those who are worried about job security, 64% say they worry regardless of whether or not they achieve their quotas
  • And the work culture for CSMs often leaves them feeling forced to prioritize their job over their mental health and well-being, with 51% of CSMs saying they sometimes feel guilty requesting time off from work and 40% admitting they check work chat platforms like Slack when on PTO

In addition, survey respondents were asked to answer open-ended questions that provided candid responses from participants and offered an in-depth understanding of the challenges, triumphs, and internal dialogues of B2B CSMs from their point of view. To learn more about The Secret Lives of CSMs report, download the ebook with the complete findings here.

METHODOLOGY
Vitally conducted The Secret Lives of CSMs survey online between August 31 and September 14, 2023. It reflects the opinions of 679 full-time employees with the title Customer Success Manager (CSM) in the United States and was conducted at 95% confidence with a +/- 4% margin of error.

Tetrate Introduces 100% Upstream-Powered Tetrate Enterprise Envoy Gateway to Streamline Developer Experience for Gateway Use Cases


*About Envoy Gateway, the core of TEG*
Envoy Gateway, the core of TEG, is an open source project under the umbrella of Envoy and the CNCF, created in May of 2022 to “bring Envoy to the masses.” Envoy Gateway makes it simple to use Envoy Proxy as a service and API gateway by leveraging the new Kubernetes Gateway APIs and delivering a simplified deployment mode aimed at common cloud native use cases.

*Introducing TEG: a fully supported distribution of 100% upstream Envoy Gateway*
TEG, as a fully supported distribution of 100% upstream Envoy Gateway with additional tooling and support, including the following:

  • Cross-cluster service discovery and load balancing
  • OIDCOAuth2WAF and rate limiting out of the box
  • Support for Ingress-of-Ingresses deployments
  • “Per app team” deployments with Tier 1 and Tier 2 logic
  • Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) alerting and upgrade management
  • Simplified lifecycle management
  • FIPS 140-2 compliant Envoy
  • Turn-key installation and upgrade
  • 24/7 support with service level agreements (SLAs)

“Several players in the ecosystem—including Tetrate, Ambassador Labs, VMware and others—have joined forces in the open source Envoy Gateway project to ‘democratize ingress,’ providing a highly performant solution based on the Kubernetes API,” said Bas van Beek, founding engineer and general manager of TEG at Tetrate. “Envoy Gateway makes Envoy simple to use, serves as ‘API Gateway Lite,’ and essentially commoditizes the control plane so that the ecosystem can shift our efforts up the stack to provide more value for users.

“In addition to serving as a primary contributor to the Envoy Gateway project, Tetrate is offering TEG as a fully supported, 100% upstream distribution of Envoy Gateway with additional tooling and support for the enterprise. TEG is available today for a free technical preview. We encourage everyone to give it a try and give us your feedback.”

***Sign up and start using TEG***
***Visit Tetrate at Booth #L12 to see a demo of TEG***

*TEG Use Cases*
TEG is designed for app teams who want to replace or augment existing load balancers, are looking for an “API Gateway Lite” solution, or who need to take advantage of TEG’s capabilities for Ingress-of-Ingresses or multi-cluster applications. Ideal use cases include:

  1. Modernize in place: To migrate from monoliths to microservices, pair TEG with your existing F5 deployment to provide per request control and policy, enabling self-serve app modernization at the app team’s pace.
  2. Replace default ingress for per-request control and visibility: TEG is a drop-in replacement for OpenShift HAProxy ingress or simple NGINX to unlock control, visibility, authentication, and rate limiting. It can also be used as a more featureful replacement for stock cloud load balancers like ELBs for cloud-first deployments.
  3. Ingress-of-Ingresses to enable app team self-serve: TEG enables app teams to keep consistent external addresses and consolidate policies for North-South traffic while allowing app-team self service. TEG presents a consistent facade (address, DNS name, etc.) to users while auto-discovering clusters as they are provisioned and deprovisioned. TEG also supports heterogeneous applications in each cluster.
  4. API Gateway Lite: With TEG, rate limiting and OIDC/OAuth2 authentication are available out of the box. Enforce authentication for any app, provide SSO for applications without code change, and rate limit on IP5-tuple, HTTP headers and more. TEG integrates with API endpoint protection providers such as Cequence Security.
  5. Cross-cluster discovery and failover at ingress: TEG auto-discovers clusters and their available services based on configuration and rules and automatically fails over to remotes as local traffic fails, faster than a GLB can respond. With TEG, failures are identified quickly and outages are mitigated.

*Availability and Pricing*
A technical preview of TEG is currently available, sign up for a trial today. TEG will be generally available in Q1 for direct purchase from Tetrate and for self-service purchase in the AWS Marketplace. TEG software and supporting service is $5K per cluster per year, with unlimited gateways in each cluster.

*About Tetrate*
Rooted in open source, Tetrate was founded to solve the application networking and security challenges created by modern computing so enterprises can innovate with speed and safety in hybrid and multicloud environments. As applications evolve into collections of decentralized microservices, monitoring and managing the network communications and security among those myriad services becomes challenging. This is why some of the largest financial institutions, governments and other enterprises rely on Tetrate to deliver modern application networking and security.
