IRIS.TV Introduces Oracle Data Cloud into its Contextual Ad Targeting for Video Solution


“I’m very excited today to announce our integration with an industry-leading platform like IRIS.TV. We are driving value…with their deep expertise in video content to deliver a valuable solution for our customers,” said Kurt Kratchman, GVP of Product Development, Oracle Data Cloud

IRIS.TV, a video intelligence platform for broadcasters and publishers, today announced an integration with Oracle Data Cloud to enhance IRIS.TV’s contextual ad targeting for video solution to ensure marketers that their video advertising is both relevant and brand-safe. This combination will deliver on the needs of the world’s largest marketers and agencies to provide transparency on where their advertising is placed across all video formats—mobile, CTV and web, while navigating the requirements of new and emerging privacy regulations in the US and EU.

At Cannes Lions, IRIS.TV announced its contextual ad targeting solution to help publishers differentiate their video inventory, increase fill-rates and eCPMs. The inclusion of Oracle Data Cloud’s Contextual Intelligence, a widely accepted industry standard, into IRIS.TV’s product offering further advances the goal of DSPs, agencies, and brands to reach digital video audiences with relevant advertising.

“As a video intelligence company, our mission is to enable media companies to execute data-driven strategies that engage their loyal audiences and maximize revenue. For years, our personalization and programming technologies have helped the world’s leading publishers to increase video inventory. With contextual ad targeting, we are continuing our mission to drive innovation around data enablement so that publishers can continue to deliver premium experiences to users and a relevant and brand-safe environment to marketers,” said Richie Hyden, COO and co-founder, IRIS.TV.

“I’m very excited today to announce our integration with an industry-leading platform like IRIS.TV. We are driving value by combining our machine learning video context product with their deep expertise in video content to deliver a valuable solution for our customers,” said Kurt Kratchman, GVP of Product Development, Oracle Data Cloud.

Marketers will be able to execute campaigns transparently via their existing demand-side platform partners enabling campaigns to scale across specific video content verticals including politics, sports, travel and many more.

“Bringing contextual video targeting not only empowers buyers to go beyond targeting pages that their ads run on, but also the content that it runs adjacent to in a video environment,” said Mike Fisher, Vice President, Advanced TV and Video, MediaMath. “The addition of Oracle’s industry-standard contextual and brand-safe data to the IRIS.TV offering bolsters our partnership and directly aligns with SOURCE by MediaMath’s commitment to leading the industry to full transparency and accountability.”

To empower publishers to control the packaging of their inventory IRIS.TV will offer Oracle’s Contextual Intelligence data via its existing publisher offering for both direct and private marketplace deals being executed via supply-side platforms.

“We believe IRIS.TV’s offering is critically important to the premium video ecosystem given ongoing brand-safety issues and the new global privacy regulation. The IRIS.TV and Oracle integration gives Beachfront Media customers the opportunity to go beyond contextually targeting a web-page and to target the topical nature of video across any screen. For the first time in the industry we now have a deeper understanding as to what the video content is truly about before an ad opportunity presents itself to a brand. This creates a safer, better barometer under a modern privacy referendum to assign real value for our partners’ benefit,” said Ben Abbatiello VP of Advanced TV at Beachfront Media.

“As digital video consumption rapidly gains momentum, device fragmentation and privacy-centric changes to our ecosystem make it challenging for buyers to find audiences in suitable environments. It’s more important than ever to have solutions that enable accurate, brand safe and contextually relevant targeting,” said Todd Randak, SVP of Corporate Strategy at Telaria. “IRIS.TV and Oracle’s unique integration enables publishers to help marketers gain a much deeper, highly granular understanding of valuable video content across CTV, desktop and mobile.”

About IRIS.TV

IRIS.TV’s video intelligence and programming solutions are trusted by the world’s largest broadcasters and publishers to increase engagement, activate data, and build audience insights across all video platforms. The video programming platform integrates with video players and uses machine learning to automate the streaming of personalized content based on audience preferences, user interaction, and behavioral segmentation.

Sfara Delivers Next-Gen Crash Detection Using an Innovative Multi-layered AI Design: Introducing “Sfara ESP” Technology


Next Gen A.I. from Sfara

This breakthrough in suppressing false positives opens entirely new opportunities for First Notice of Loss (FNOL) and white glove customer service. The introduction of ESP further demonstrates Sfara’s culture of continual innovation in on-device smartphone crash detection.

Sfara announced today the next generation of their patented on-device smartphone crash detection, thereby furthering their industry leadership and the accuracy of their solution.

For this next generation, Sfara developed a revolutionary, multi-layered AI process they’ve name ESP for Extended Sensor Processing. ESP performs a post-crash data analysis specifically designed to suppress false positive crash events.

“False positives are the bane of the telematics industry, regardless of hardware implementation technique,” said Rocco Tricarico, CMO of Sfara. “False positives are when no accident occurred, but the solution detects one anyway. False positives destroy consumer trust, introduce unnecessary cost, create legal exposure, and can even be dangerous to the end user.”

Sfara successfully started detecting crashes in 2013, at speeds well below the point where airbag sensors deploy. However, some challenges remained. “The problem with detecting crashes in the lower speed bands is that the forces at work are weak and occur in a noisy sensor environment,” said Erik Goldman, CEO of Sfara.

Sfara has addressed this industry problem by developing a second layer to its AI that is specifically trained to eliminate false positives. This revolutionary second-layer AI starts performing its work milliseconds after a crash has been detected by the first layer and is designed to suppress false positives across all speed bands.

Sfara has carefully and purposefully built an industry leading crash detection model, built on the back of collecting thousands of data samples from live crash events and millions of labeled data sets from drivers, fusing predictive deterministic physics with state-of-the-art AI.

“We’ve continually improved our crash capability through five years of R&D, including rigorous field and lab tests conducted in collaboration with prestigious universities. Our performance results have also been confirmed by leaders in the auto industry,” said Sascha Simon, Founder and Chief Scientist. “The introduction of ESP is an evolutionary moment for the telematics industry, and a small taste of things to come from Sfara.”

With Sfara’s patented technology, industry participants, including auto makers, insurers, fleet operators and families will receive industry-leading crash detection with higher accuracy at speeds never before possible.

This breakthrough also opens entirely new opportunities for First Notice of Loss (FNOL) and white glove customer service. The introduction of ESP further demonstrates Sfara’s culture of continual innovation in on-device smartphone crash detection.

ABOUT SFARA

Sfara is enabling a mobile revolution in safety and control. Sfara’s patented AI technology and global platform transforms the smart phone into a secure mobile safety and analytics solution, available as a GDPR-compliant SaaS offering to our partners in the mobility space, including automakers and mobile network operators.

Capable of running on 4.6B smart phones sold worldwide since 2013, Sfara technology represents a paradigm shift for the telematics industry and our partners—offering unprecedented detection capabilities, without incremental hardware or data transport costs. Sfara provides a highly scalable, cloud-based data analytics and assurance solution designed to assist companies navigating the challenges of shifting transportation models, such as transportation-as-a-service, semi and fully autonomous vehicles, as well as fleet management and ride-sharing services.

Sfara is led by a deeply experienced executive team with over 150 billion miles driven on their leading-edge, embedded and aftermarket telematics solutions for consumer and fleet applications, including UBI and MPERs, operated throughout North America, Europe and China. Headquartered in Hoboken, NJ, Sfara also is expanding in Silicon Valley, Finland and Germany via Sfara GmbH.

The Personal Agility Institute Commences Operation, Leading Coaches Endorse the Personal Agility System


Lyssa Adkins, Author of Coaching Agile Teams and Co-Founder of the Agile Coaching Institute

The Personal Agility System has taken it to a new level. The coaching questions led me to really look at how I spend my time and whether I am honoring what really matters to me.

The Personal Agility Institute has reimagined “agility” to help people get more out of life. Agile frameworks like Scrum and Kanban have long been applied in business to improve effectiveness and productivity in software development. The Personal Agility System enables people to take control of their lives, say no when it counts, achieve important goals, and be the person they want to be.

Today the Personal Agility Institute (PAI) announces the expansion of its coaching program to include 8 leading coaches and trainers from around the world to share and spread this simple approach to improving people’s lives.

About the Agile Movement

The Agile movement was founded in 2001 by 17 leading software developers who were uncovering better ways of developing software by doing it and helping others to do the same. The Agile Manifesto they wrote became a movement for rethinking the values, principles and practices around everything from developing software, teaching children in schools, launching new products and even leading organizations.

Today, Agile frameworks like Scrum and Kanban are widely applied in business to improve effectiveness and productivity in software development and applications beyond IT. Hardly any major companies are not involved in an Agile transformation at some level.

About the Personal Agility System

The Personal Agility System is a simple coaching framework to help people figure out what really matters and use their time accordingly. Unlike other frameworks, it is not a process to follow but a collection of questions to ask yourself. These questions help you connect what you do with who you want to be or what you want to accomplish. The same framework used with others enables you to build alignment around a common purpose or goal.

“I have been an Agilist for 14 years and have been applying Agile in my personal life for a long time. The Personal Agility System has taken it to a new level. The coaching questions led me to really look at how I spend my time and whether I am honoring what really matters to me,” says Lyssa Adkins, Author of Coaching Agile Teams and co-founder of the Agile Coaching Institute.

A practitioner of the Personal Agility System knows what really matters, can focus their use of time accordingly, and can help people around them align around what’s important. The PAI has recognized Practitioners (PARPs) from throughout the USA as well as Switzerland, Germany, Poland, Italy, India, Canada, and Sri Lanka who have demonstrated that they are using Personal Agility to guide their lives effectively.

“Personal Agility is an essential skill in any domain, be it in business, education, the community or at home. It’s not until people start to experience personal transformation in their own lives that they’ll really start to get what this is.” – John Badgley, Agility Systems Coach.

About the PAI Recognition Program

Personal Agility Recognized Ambassadors (PARA) are senior coaches and trainers who are already recognized experts in their field and have embraced the Personal Agility System for their own work. PARAs will be sharing and building the knowledge to serve humanity beyond the traditional Agile community.

Announcement of the Coaching Program

The Personal Agility Institute is excited to announce our team of industry accredited coaches and trainers.
