“HR professionals understand the value of Employee Voice, and are ready to utilize it as a tool for boosting engagement,” said Michael Papay, Co-founder and CEO, Waggl. “And with many organizations still operating remotely, engagement is becoming even more critical to achieving ongoing success.”

Waggl, the most powerful Employee Voice platform for strategic HR and organizational leaders, today announced that it is the recipient of two Brandon Hall Excellence in Technology Awards: A Gold Award for Best Advance in Employee Engagement Technology and a Silver Award for Best Technology Innovation for the Remote Workforce.

Brandon Hall’s Excellence in Technology Awards Program emphasizes the value of collaboration between HCM leaders, business leaders and technology developers. A panel of veteran, independent senior industry experts, and Brandon Hall Group senior analysts and executives evaluated the entries. Winners must meet the needs of all stakeholders, especially the end-users.

“We are honored to receive these two highly esteemed accolades from Brandon Hall, and believe that they serve as a significant validation in the importance of Employee Voice,” said Michael Papay, Co-founder and CEO, Waggl. “HR professionals understand the value of Employee Voice, and are ready to utilize it as a tool for boosting engagement. And with many organizations still operating remotely, engagement is becoming even more critical to achieving ongoing success.”

Waggl is an Employee Voice platform that helps organizations measure and improve engagement through simple data visualizations and meaningful crowdsourced dialogue between managers, leaders and teams. Over the past six years, Waggl has evolved its platform from a lightweight, consumer-driven app to a robust Enterprise Platform capable of supporting organizations with many thousands of employees. The company has also rebuilt its foundation/underlying architecture to better support and scale with the organizations whose leaders, managers, and employees depend on it as their Employee Voice Platform. In tandem with that, Waggl undertook an audit to attain SOC 2 Type II Compliance, a premiere designation that marks the company’s commitment to data integrity and ensures that it meets best-in-class security standards.

Developed by the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA), SOC 2 is an auditing procedure that ensures 3rd party service providers are securely managing data to protect the interests of customers and the privacy of their clients. SOC 2 defines criteria for managing customer data based on five “trust service principles”—security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality and privacy. The Type II SOC Report details the operational effectiveness of a vendor’s systems and certifies that they meet relevant trust principles.

“Waggl has always maintained the strongest commitment to the information security and data integrity of its clients,” said Drew Batshaw, Co-founder and CTO, Waggl. “Our SOC 2 Type II Compliance will help to reassure our customers that we are taking all of the steps necessary to keep their data safe. The rigorous process of the SOC 2 audit helped us further codify and strengthen our security and data protection practices.”

In addition to its SOC 2 Type II compliance, Waggl continues to add new features and functionality designed to enhance safety and make the platform more collaborative:

  • Crowd Flagging. Waggl’s crowd moderation tool is a safety feature that allows employees to bring posts that they feel are inappropriate to the moderator’s attention.
  • Redesigned Pulse Creation. Waggl’s new pulse creation process is easier to use, and offers the ability to save drafts and edits.
  • Enterprise Reporting Capabilities. Waggl has upgraded its reporting solutions to include enhanced, interactive results for managers and a suite of exportable spreadsheet-based reports for advanced analysis.
  • Multi-Language Pulsing. This capability enables many of Waggl’s partners to deliver a more inclusive solution to their diverse multi-lingual employee populations.

In the past few months, Waggl has been repeatedly honored for its product innovation and technology advancements. Lighthouse Research and Advisory named the Waggl Engagement (WE) Solution as the “Best Innovative or Emerging Tech Solution” in Talent Management; the 2020 CEO World Awards recognized Waggl with a Silver Award for Best New Product in the category of “Technology Software”; and Inspiring Workplaces, commended the company as “Vendor of the Year” for the second consecutive year. Waggl is also the recipient of a Bronze Golden Bridge Award in the category of “Best Technology To Combat and Reduce the Impact of COVID-19” for its “Putting People First” initiative and earned a 2020 Stevie® Award for Great Employers in the category of “Most Innovative Use of HR Technology During the Pandemic.” In addition, Waggl earned several Fall 2020 G2 awards, including “High Performer,” Easiest to do Business With,” and “Best Support.”

New InstallAware X13 Sets the Gold Standard for Software Installers, in a Growth Market with $3 Billion Valuations


InstallAware for Windows Installer, MSI, MSIX, EXE, App-V, APPX, Virtualization

InstallAware for Windows Installer, MSI, MSIX, EXE, App-V, APPX, Virtualization

“InstallAware X13 is the objectively proven technology leader in the software installation space, where the valuation of a former pioneer of the industry recently reached as much as US$3 billion”

InstallAware Software, the technology leader in software installation, repackaging, and virtualization solutions for application builders and enterprises, is launching InstallAware X13 on Friday this week. InstallAware is the most flexible platform for traditional and agile development teams creating Windows and Azure software installers, as well as MSIX, APPX, App-V Virtualization, agentless/royalty-free InstallAware Virtualization packages, and decentralized setups.

InstallAware X13 is the objectively proven technology leader in the software installation space, where the valuation of a former pioneer of the industry recently reached as much as US$3 billion, according to https://www.pehub.com/ta-to-make-3x-its-money-on-sale-of-flexera-to-thoma-bravo/.

InstallAware X13’s claims are evaluated on the basis of speed, size, stability, and scalability. Setups built by InstallAware X13 install faster. They deploy more files and data without running into problems with scaling. They are smaller, thus reducing hosting, bandwidth, and data charges. They are powered by a setup engine with absolutely no runtime dependencies, capable of deployment into hardened environments.

It is noteworthy that InstallAware X13’s benefits are mirrored for both software developers and consumers alike. A robust setup engine helps make a positive first impression with consumers, who invariably appreciate not having to troubleshoot obscure deployment errors. They save data on their plans – and valuable time – with smaller packages. With better scaling they install more apps simultaneously with less management. Faster installs reduce downtime and grow productivity, resulting in measurably better output.

Elev8 Cannabis Temporarily Closes After Associate Is Exposed to COVID-19


In its ongoing support to slow the spread of COVID-19 throughout Massachusetts, Elev8 Cannabis today announced that it is temporarily closing its Athol dispensary after a store associate was exposed to someone who tested positive for the virus. The closure is effective immediately and does not affect the company’s online store or its dispensary in Eugene, Oregon. The Athol dispensary is expected to reopen in several days.

“After learning about our associate’s exposure to COVID-19, we decided to act quickly and close the dispensary temporarily. Although our associate does not have COVID-19, closing allows us time to test our entire staff to be extra safe,” said Seun Adedeji, Elev8 Cannabis’s chief executive officer and founder. “More than anything, we are taking every extra precaution to ensure we are doing our part to protect the Athol community and our associates, which will ultimately help support the state-wide efforts to slow the spread of COVID-19.”

Elev8 Cannabis Athol opened in October this year where it has seen robust support and business from cannabis users in the surrounding community and nearby cities. “We have become a great resource for the since opening and I can imagine how disruptive closing is to our customers particularly for our veterans and other people who rely on us for medicinal cannabis,” Adedeji said. “But after hearing the Massachusetts Department of Health’s announcement this week about the 4,700 new COVID-19 cases we believed it best to close temporarily. Thankfully, we’ll use this brief time to thoroughly disinfect the dispensary, have our entire team tested, and then look forward to reopening knowing that our dispensary and our staff are entirely safe.”

Due to the growing COVID-19 cases in Massachusetts, the Baker Administration has recently put stricter guidelines in place, including a stay at home advisory, strengthened mask order, and early business closures. “We are definitely living through unprecedented times, but with vigilance and safety protocols, we’ll get past this,” Adedeji said.

“And, to our customers, we’re still here for you on our online store http://www.elev8cannabis.com, we will be back to service you in person and treat you like gold in the store asap.”

About Elev8 Cannabis

Elev8 Cannabis was founded by Seun Adedeji in 2017 to bring a variety of high-quality health and wellness cannabis products to the public. To learn more about Elv8 Cannabis promotions and dispensaries, visit http://www.elev8cannabis.com

Colorado Agency Hires Mainstream Technologies


Mainstream Technologies, Inc., began development recently on a new software project for the State of Colorado. The expected 18-month contract is to redesign and replace the software used by the Colorado Office of Community Corrections (OCC), an office within the Criminal Justice division of the Colorado Department of Public Safety. The existing software, known as the Community Corrections Information and Billing System (CCIB), has reached its end of useful service and no longer meets the needs of the OCC.

CRIMINAL JUSTICE EXPERIENCE

Mainstream was selected after a six-month nationwide search for custom software vendors. Mainstream’s prior experience developing software in accordance with the FBI Criminal Justice Information Systems (CJIS) requirements was an important factor in the selection process.

In addition to the software development work, Mainstream will also provide hosting and security services through the IT and Security Services divisions of the company. Mainstream’s achievement in early 2020 of SOC2 / Type II certification for its datacenter and IT services was instrumental in qualifying Mainstream for that part of the contract.

MAJOR PROJECT

The replacement of the CCIB system is considered a Major Project by the Office of Information Technology. A Major Project means the project has a specific level of business criticality and manifests either a security risk or an operational risk as determined by a comprehensive

risk assessment performed by the OIT.

“This is a very important contract to Mainstream,” said Jeff Byers, Vice President of Software Services at Mainstream Technologies. “It is important not only because of its significance to Colorado and its scope, but because it increases Mainstream’s footprint in state government work nationwide.” Mainstream has multiple long-term contracts with state government agencies in Arkansas, South Carolina, and now Colorado.

ABOUT THE CCIB

The Community Corrections Information and Billing System is the exclusive method by which community corrections contractors and subcontractors request payments, and in which offender services are tracked. The system is the central hub within the Office of Community Corrections for transactions of state appropriations for community corrections and the related tracking of important offender programmatic, statistical, and demographic data. In addition to processing nearly 4,500 invoices annually for the $81 million in appropriations, the CCIB system is also used to document over 1,000 criminal background checks annually. The CCIB system currently contains statistical and demographic data for over 49,000 offenders in Colorado.

ABOUT MAINSTREAM

Since 1996, Mainstream (http://www.mainstream-tech.com) has evolved into one of the most established IT services companies in the Mid-South, serving clients from its Arkansas locations including headquarters in Little Rock, a second operations facility in Conway, as well as a sales office in Bentonville. Their staff of information technology professionals serves business and government customers across the nation with Managed IT Services, Custom Software Development Services, Cyber Security Services, and Hosting.

Iron Solutions launches IronGuides® Mobile


Iron Solutions - IronGuides Mobile

Iron Solutions – IronGuides Mobile

Machine Inspections and appraisals are a normal part of every ag equipment dealer’s day-to-day operation. It only made sense to pair these functions and put them into an easy-to-use, connected mobile app to streamline information flow across a dealer’s organization.

Equipment appraisal expert Iron Solutions, Inc. has launched a mobile application for its popular IronGuides® system that extends its equipment valuation tools to convenient field and other locations to better serve its Ag and Outdoor Power Equipment dealers.

In a collaborative effort with The Activate Company, makers of a mobile equipment inspection application already popular with equipment dealers, Iron Solutions has expanded its functionality by putting valuation data in the smartphone, when and where dealers, sales, parts and service staff need it.

“Machine Inspections and appraisals are a normal part of every ag equipment dealer’s day-to-day operation. It only made sense to pair these functions and put them into an easy-to-use, connected mobile app to streamline information flow across a dealer’s organization.” said Linda Rader, General Manager at Iron Solutions Inc.

Parts, Service, Sales and Finance departments each have a vested interest in timely access to accurate information from the inspection and the valuation components on every piece of used equipment. The mobile app allows someone to perform an inspection, take pictures and video, provide comments or instructions, and get an industry-standard appraisal value, all while in the field, on the lot, shop, or job site. The finished inspection and appraisal are immediately available to the rest of the organization as long as the device has a cellular or wifi connection.

Brian Giamo, Co-Founder at the Activate Company said, “The app features unlimited photos, videos, descriptions, dealer-specific customization, and an intuitive user interface that will make it a valuable part of the dealer’s workflow. By eliminating redundancy and centralizing information in the cloud, we believe dealers will find the app an important tool for sharing information throughout the organization, reducing errors, and creating efficiency. IronGuides Mobile also pairs easily with The Activate Company’s service solution, Activate Customers. Activate Customers allows dealers to effectively follow-up on and win the parts and service opportunities that arise from trade-in evaluations, service inspections, lease returns and other important interactions between equipment dealers and their customers.

The values returned in the application are the same as those used in the IronGuides desktop application widely used by dealers, OEM’s and lenders. Those values are based on actual sales reports from dealers and auctions across North America.

The app, IronGuides Mobile, can be found on the Apple’s App Store and Google Play today.

About Iron Solutions, Inc.

Iron Solutions provides equipment valuations, market intelligence and a suite of integrated, cloud-based services for equipment dealers, financial institutions, manufacturers and end-users. For over 80 years, Iron Solutions has been a leader in delivering appraisal tools, trends and forecasts for buyers and sellers of agricultural and construction equipment. The company is headquartered in Franklin, Tennessee.

Admetrics launches free Bayesian statistics engine QuantifyNow for 10x faster decision making in marketing analytics


Screenshot QuantifyNow

QuantifyNow enables any marketer to leverage the power of Bayesian statistics and make better decisions instantly.

Admetrics, a marketing analytics company that supports advertisers with data science solutions to gain actionable insights into their marketing data, today announced the release of QuantifyNow, a Bayesian experimentation and statistics engine that provides capabilities that until now have only been available to enterprise clients.

With QuantifyNow, Admetrics is offering a freemium version of its flagship product Quantify. Quantify is a fully automated experimentation engine that enables marketing teams to switch to an agile always-on experimentation process and implement continuous testing and campaign optimization. By leveraging Bayesian statistics, marketers can now make decisions up to 10x faster compared to traditional approaches.

Markus Repetschnig, CEO of Admetrics says: “After launching Quantify last year, we received incredible feedback from our clients. To show off the transformative effect of our approach on a broader scale, we decided to build QuantifyNow – a feature-limited, but completely free version of Quantify so potential customers can experience its effectivity first hand.”

Quantify is much more efficient than the current industry practice and outperforms traditional testing and experimentation methodologies by eliminating the flaws and inconveniences of A/B tests – such as long test periods, inconclusive results, and limitations to the number of testable variations. Quantify equips campaign managers with analytical capabilities only available to experienced data scientists.

Although data science sits at the core of today’s marketing, marketing teams often rely on limited internal or external resources to analyze campaigns and carry out experiments. This is why we built Quantify for marketers first – using it does not require a background in data science or statistics. Quantify enables marketers to take full control of their experimentation roadmap.

With Quantify we were able to increase the ROAS of campaigns by more than 30%”, says the CMO of BoomBit Games, who have been taking part in a pilot phase of the product. “It helped us to gain a better understanding of our audiences, how they react to new games and features, and which targeting strategies work best. The results provided by Quantify are invaluable as they allow us to iterate faster and to optimize our advertising efforts.”

Setting up campaigns in QuantifyNow is a matter of minutes: Through a web-based interface, marketers can simply connect their data sources, like Facebook or Twitter, and start making better decisions immediately.

As outlined in the white paper, Quantify requires 60 to 90 percent less data than traditional methods to generate conclusive results by combining Bayesian statistical modeling with machine-learning algorithms. Quantify also enables switching of variations at any time during the flights while the results are guaranteed to be always accurate, which allows for highly accelerated campaign optimization cycles.

With this new level of automation provides advertisers can now test and optimize many aspects of their campaigns permanently, such as targeting, creative elements, and messaging, to name a few.

But Quantify does not only speed up decision-making processes, it also opens up a whole new spectrum of possibilities by putting experimentation at the core of marketing strategies. It can accelerate the exploration of new channels or trends, the validation of product-market fit or pricing strategies, and the optimization of any kind of marketing campaign. The use cases are limitless.

Marketers can take QuantifyNow for a spin at http://www.quantifynow.app– no registration or credit card required.

Ntiva Acquires Leading Apple Technology Services Provider


Apple Technology Services Provider

Apple Technology Services, Security & Support

Ntiva now leads MSP pack with Apple expertise for full MacOS, iOS service and support.

Ntiva, Inc., a leading provider of managed IT, cloud hosting, cyber security, unified communications and strategic consulting services, today announced the acquisition of Forget Computers, a leading Chicago-based Apple technology service provider.

Forget Computers is recognized as the top-rated Apple Technology experts in the Midwest and have focused solely on helping organizations support their macOS and iOS users.

With this acquisition Ntiva will now be one of a very few Managed Service Providers (MSPs) who can deliver full Apple support (macOS, iOS) with Apple-certified technicians, tools and workflows. Most MSPs offer limited, if any, support for pure Apple or Apple-Windows hybrid environments, historically shoehorned under existing Windows processes and tools.

As companies focus more on attracting and retaining top talent, it has become apparent that allowing employees to use technology that they are most comfortable with yields the most productivity and overall job satisfaction. Additionally, the recent shift to remote work has further accelerated the trend to Apple devices, with employees now using Macs, iPads and iPhones to access business applications and data.

Ntiva and Forget Computers have been on the front line of this trend and are committed to building seamless delivery that does not compromise security or collaboration. While Apple products are known to offer enhanced reliability and security, no platform today is bulletproof. It has become a business imperative to properly manage, secure and support Apple devices and the people who use them.

“Expanding our service capabilities to enhance our support of Apple products in a seamless and secure manner with a dedicated team of professionals and intellectual property is a game changer for our clients and industry.” said Steven Freidkin, CEO of Ntiva.

“We are thrilled to welcome the Apple-certified team from Forget Computers who bring 20+ years of Apple experience to the table, along with custom software tools that offer advanced support. This means that in addition to superior support for pure Apple environments, our clients will also have access to skilled technicians who are experienced in more traditional mixed platforms. This allows us to be in the unique position to partner with our clients and deliver a consistent and secure experience across Windows and Apple platforms.”

“Since 1998 we’ve been solely focused on supporting businesses who use Apple technology, providing the services, security and education they need to get the most out of their investment,” said Ben Greiner, Founder & President of Forget Computers.

“Joining forces with Ntiva provides us with expanded resources and access to a bigger geographic footprint, allowing our combined team to unlock new revenue channels and opportunities while elevating the technological and strategic expertise available to our joint clients. I look forward to expanding on the vision I had from the beginning when I first founded Forget Computers.”

The entire Forget Computers staff will immediately become part of the Ntiva team and will continue to be led by Ben Greiner, Ntiva’s Director of Apple Technology. This acquisition brings Ntiva’s employee count to over 300 employees and increases Ntiva’s client base to over 1400 organizations located across the U.S.

About Ntiva, Inc.

Ntiva is a leading IT services company that provides businesses across the U.S. with advanced technology expertise, including managed IT, cloud hosting, cyber security, unified communications and strategic consulting services. Their team of world-class talent genuinely cares about the relationships they build and understands that response and precision are fundamental keys to a successful partnership. Ntiva’s ultimate objective is to help clients leverage their technology investments to improve business performance.
