JMU’s digital communities give their students a place to find help and resources, share insights and ideas, and connect with one another.

“At JMU, we believe that access to support and community should not be limited by proximity to campus. We strive to ensure every student – whether in person or online – feels as though they belong and has the opportunity to connect and collaborate,” said Dr. Melissa Lubin, Dean of the School of Professional & Continuing Education. “We are excited to work with InScribe to boost student engagement in new and meaningful ways. JMU students are each other’s biggest fans, and we know that the relationships they will form in these digital spaces will help fuel their success.”

Ranked a top 50 Best Online Learning School by Newsweek and Statistica, JMU sought a technology partner that shared its forward thinking approach.

From advice about courses, to a listening ear, to career connections, InScribe’s digital communities give students a place to turn when they need a helping hand so no student ever learns alone.

JMU will be integrating InScribe into the school’s Canvas LMS, providing students with simple, straightforward access to a network of people for connection and support anytime, anywhere.

“We are excited to be a part of JMU’s mission to support pathways for degree completion for non-traditional learners so they can continue to progress in their careers,” said Katy Kappler, CEO of InScribe. “Digital communities not only facilitate connection and create a sense of belonging, they also give students another avenue to collaborate, a skill that JMU emphasizes and one that can strengthen a student’s workforce readiness and on-the-job performance.”

BeSmartee Acquires FlashSpread

“The FlashSpread team has created the absolute best docs-to-data system in the marketplace and we are excited to expand upon their strength to better the lending ecosystem.”

HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif. (PRWEB)
January 11, 2022

BeSmartee, award-winning fintech firm and founder of modern digital mortgage platforms for financial institutions, announced today that it has acquired FlashSpread, a financial analysis as a service company, specializing in instant tax spreading for commercial lenders and fintech companies. FlashSpread’s commercial lending technology is a natural complement to BeSmartee’s digital mortgage platforms, and will accelerate BeSmartee’s growth strategy under which the brand has prioritized increased automation.

As a proven innovator, BeSmartee takes a leading role in facilitating true end-to-end digital mortgages, helping more borrowers experience the power of home. With FlashSpread’s technology, BeSmartee will serve the commercial lending market with an efficient data digitization and aggregation engine, enabling lenders to make error-free, data-driven, credit decisions in flash.

Additionally, BeSmartee will leverage the FlashSpread technology for mortgages, converting docs to data, which will help streamline some of the company’s manual processes and improve automated decisioning.

FlashSpread’s services will remain completely uninterrupted, including access to integration and API’s. FlashSpread customers will continue to enjoy the user experience they have come to know and love. BeSmartee will continue to grow the FlashSpread application to go deeper into the commercial lending process, faster — adding resources to support a higher caliber of customer success.

With FlashSpread’s proprietary algorithms, lenders will introduce efficiencies across the commercial loan process from origination to servicing by converting scanned tax returns into customized financial reports, such as global debt service with a click of a button — “click, spread, done.”

Automation of manual processes are required at every step of the lending process — from origination to servicing. FlashSpread will remove the manual entry to help:

• 
  Reduce time
• Eliminate errors
• Increase efficiencies
• Lift revenues
• Control costs
• Manage regulatory risks
• Increase compliance

Building on its existing momentum, FlashSpread will continue to grow its document library to support financial statements, launch a no-code reporting module to instantly deploy custom reports and release an ongoing credit monitoring tool.

“We are excited to welcome FlashSpread and Ariel Trybuch to the BeSmartee Family,” said BeSmartee CEO and Co-founder Tim Nguyen. “This is an acquisition that not only brings new clients, technologies and talents to BeSmartee; but one that also sparks further innovation into all lending verticals, including mortgages, consumer and commercial. The FlashSpread team has created the absolute best docs-to-data system in the marketplace and we are excited to expand upon their strength to better the lending ecosystem.”

“Joining forces with BeSmartee will allow FlashSpread to better serve the digital lending community that it has built over the last five years,” said FlashSpread founder and General Manager Ariel Trybuch. “Our unified vision is to create a transparent, efficient, lending process that makes lender’s lives easier. This partnership will provide the resources necessary to support the hyper-growth FlashSpread is currently experiencing, as well as allow us to provide our customers with an even higher level of customer support, rapidly introduce new features and functionality and expand our ever-growing library of supported document types. Through this strategic acquisition, we can now apply the same level of automation to the mortgage space.”

FlashSpread is currently integrated with some of the largest LOS’s in the commercial lending space and helps more than 100 financial institutions automate many of their manual processes.

FlashSpread will continue to operate independently as a product under the BeSmartee umbrella, with the company’s founder and CEO Ariel Trybuch serving as General Manager. The operating entity will be renamed, “FlashSpread, a BeSmartee Company,” and will be led by BeSmartee CEO and Co-founder Tim Nguyen.

The transaction was finalized November 3, 2021. BeSmartee plans to continue its focus on M&A activity to fuel value creation, as well as long-term growth and expansion.

TRX DAPS Dismounted A-PNT Device

GREENBELT, Md. (PRWEB)
January 06, 2022

TRX Systems, developer of NEON® GPS-denied location solutions, has been selected by the U.S. Army to provide a next-generation Dismounted Assured Positioning, Navigation and Timing (PNT) System (DAPS). The TRX DAPS solution employs a lightweight soldier-worn device that enables dismounted warfighters to successfully conduct operations when operating in GPS challenged, degraded, or denied environments.

Military equipment can be the subject of enemy electronic attacks, potentially resulting in a loss of location awareness that can put Army missions at increased risk. The TRX DAPS solution alerts the user when their position isn’t reliable and then leverages multiple sensors and timing sources to provide the best soldier position possible within the GPS degraded operational environment. The solution is designed to replace the Defense Advanced GPS Receiver (DAGR) with support for both a standalone configuration and integration with the Nett Warrior ensemble.

The TRX DAPS solution leverages the company’s proven experience in delivering GPS-denied location technology to thousands of military, public safety, and security users worldwide. The solution combines inputs from small, body-worn sensors and other sources to provide assured PNT while meeting the challenging Size, Weight, and Power (SWaP) needs of dismounted soldiers already physically burdened with heavy equipment loads.

“Maintaining assured PNT is paramount to the situational awareness of U.S. warfighters in the many conflict zones around the world,” said Carol Politi, President and CEO of TRX Systems. “When initial units are fielded in mid-2022, the TRX DAPS solution will deliver a balance of the highest possible level of integrated PNT capabilities with the smallest package that can be fielded for dismounted warfighters.”

About TRX Systems

TRX Systems is the developer of NEON GPS-denied location solutions, delivering location, mapping, and proximity solutions where GPS is not available or is unreliable including indoors, underground, in dense urban areas, and where GPS is jammed or erroneous. NEON delivers ubiquitous, low-cost, GPS-denied location through use of advanced sensor fusion, ranging, and patented dynamic mapping algorithms. NEON location technology provides the foundation for several commercial applications, including NEON Personnel Tracker and NEON Signal Mapper.

It is purpose-designed with a much thicker copper base to be compatible with more reference design graphics cards, but it doesn’t sacrifice any coolant flow. Speaking of compatibility, it works with other EK product lines so it is not limited to simply workstation solutions though its compact design is ideal for 1U racks.
