Kognity’s digital education platform puts quality science education – aligned to emerging science standards, such as NGSS – at teachers’ fingertips. Designed to help students take ownership of their learning, the Kognity science platform not only brings order and structure to new styles of teaching science, but it also serves up curriculum, assessments, and professional development. In short, it’s everything teachers need to put “the new science education” into action in their classroom in a way that’s as individualized and customized as they want to make it.

“Kognity’s innovative platform will support U.S. science teachers as they transform their teaching to implement NGSS, helping students to become scientific thinkers and learners,” said Paul Berry, Head of Market, North America. “We look forward to connecting with more U.S. educators at Engage and conferences like ASCD and ISTE 2022 to learn about ways they believe dynamic technology accelerates student learning.”

“We have the strongest development team for the lowest expense you’ll find”

MINNEAPOLIS (PRWEB)
January 27, 2022

A Twin Cities software design firm Build Labs announced today that its revenue has soared this past year, and it’s anticipating even stronger growth over the course of this year.

The founder and CEO of Build Labs, located in the historic North Loop of Minneapolis, explained how his firm operating so far from the big hitters in Silicon Valley has excelled so rapidly and expects to keep the momentum going.

“We have the strongest development team for the lowest expense that you would find here in the States,” said Build Labs’ James Dietrich. “We have the strongest, most flexible and most knowledgeable team of developers I have worked with in my career.”

And with the additional revenue, Dietrich said he’s looking forward to hiring more staff to handle the business in hand and yet to come as thousands of leads are pursued.

“We’ve more than doubled our revenue between 2020 and 2021, and our current pace predicts we will more than double again in 2022,” Dietrich said, “and then we’re probably going to double our staff this year from 18 to 36 to meet demand.”

Among Build Labs’ client success stories is a business brokerage firm located a few miles across town in Minneapolis.

The founder and Director of Development of Buyer Inside Track, operating under its parent Onward for Business, said he turned to Build Labs for improved website performance after its initially site designer fell short of its needs.

“What Build Labs allowed us to do is to take the basic site, enhance it and add a number of additional features,” said Greg Bast of Buyer Inside Track, whose company brings buyers and sellers together and is on the verge of relaunching its member website with much-needed improvements made by Build Labs.

Bast said that Build Labs’ staff “understands what we’re trying to do much better than the larger firm really did or could grasp. They understand the vision and what we are trying to accomplish, and they’ve allowed us to customize.”

Looking ahead, Bast said, “The improvements are going to allow us to increase our membership tenfold-plus, and we’re also going to be able to add offices around the country, and we’re going to add many more vendors to the Buyer Inside Track app.” Bast also was impressed with the value of Build Labs’ services vs. his earlier off-shore vendor.

“The changeover has actually been much more cost effective than I thought it would be,” he said. “The hourly rates weren’t that different; however, they are much more efficient at getting things accomplished.”

Dietrich explained that emphasizing the importance of value is a key piece of Build Labs’ business model.

“We always talk internally about value,” he said. “For every hour we spend on a clients’ account, we want to make sure they look at those hours and say, ‘I got great value for that hour. Regardless of what the price is, I got great value.’ It is just a little easier to provide better value when your prices are more affordable than your competitors.”

Attention producers, editors, and reporters – Representatives of Build Labs & Buyer Inside Track are available to be booked for interviews. To make coordinating schedules and calendars easy and hassle-free, contact publicist Robb Leer 612.701.0608.

Screenshot from Security Dashboard

“When it comes to keeping data safe online, strong passwords are the first line of defense. This update represents the greatest cybersecurity suite ever available to our millions of users.” Vasiliy Ivanov, CEO of Passwarden

NEW YORK (PRWEB)
January 27, 2022

Passwarden, a highly-rated password and data security application, today announces the launch of their new Security Dashboard update. The dashboard offers a one-stop source of information on a user’s passwords, highlighting which passwords are weak or compromised, and includes data breach protection for an added layer of security.

Users can now sort their passwords based on their defense ratings, gaining a closer look at which passwords are most vulnerable. Weak and reused passwords can be easily addressed. Better yet, Passwarden’s Security Dashboard alerts users to compromised or expiring passwords, allowing for greater peace of mind.

The application goes further than its competitors by including dark web monitoring as part of the update. If a user’s log-in information is found on the dark web, Passwarden alerts the user to the relevant credentials and generates a new, highly-secure password to replace vulnerable information.

Finally, the new dashboard also includes Security Guru, allowing users to go beyond password monitoring and bring cybersecurity protection across their devices. Security Guru offers links to download Passwarden on other devices, as well as links to other high-quality data privacy and security applications, including VPN Unlimited, one of parent company KeepSolid’s most popular offerings.

2022 is an ideal time for this kind of cybersecurity protection. Online fraud activity increased 61% in 2021 compared to 2020, causing the need for high-tech solutions in the identity protection field. The new features enabled by Passwarden’s latest update help ensure consumers surf, shop, and socialize online with the highest quality protection monitoring needed to stay safe.

About Passwarden

Since 2020, Passwarden has been the go-to solution for military-grade data protection. The software allows users to store passwords and other sensitive data on an unlimited number of devices with just one account and utilizes both AES-256 and EC p-384 protocols to encrypt the user’s data from being compromised by third parties. It also features Duress mode to ensure the user’s safety and security under duress. The application offers competitive pricing tiers for all types of users. Passwarden is part of the KeepSolid MonoDefense cybersecurity software family, which also includes VPN Unlimited, DNS Firewall, and SmartDNS.
