Mode Analytics earned a Gold for the “Best Business Intelligence and Analytics Solution” in NPG’s 2020 IT World Awards

“Regardless of the complexity of the problem at hand, users can increase the speed of better decision-making with Helix,” said Benn Stancil, Co-founder and President, Mode Analytics.

Mode Analytics, the leader in collaborative Business Intelligence and Interactive Data Science, today announced its recognition by Network PG’s IT World Awards, having earned a Gold Award for the “Best Business Intelligence and Analytics Solution” for its introduction of Helix, the first instant, responsive data engine.

Network PG’s 2020 IT World Awards honor achievements of world’s best in organizational performance, products and services, hot technologies, executives and management teams, successful deployments, product management and engineering, customer satisfaction, and public relations in every area of information technology. Judges from a broad spectrum of industry voices from around the world participated and their average scores and inputs determined the 2020 award winners. Winners will be celebrated and presented their awards during a virtual awards ceremony in November.

Mode Analytics combines the best elements of Business Intelligence (ABI), Data Science (DS) and Machine Learning (ML) to empower data teams to answer impactful questions and collaborate on analysis across a range of business functions. The Mode platform enables data teams to visualize, analyze and share data in a powerful end-to-end workflow. In Q4’19, Mode Analytics introduced Helix, the world’s first instant, responsive data engine. By combining the workflows of BI and DS, Helix fundamentally changes how companies explore and extend analysis.

As competition and volatility increase in the business environment, companies are investing more in strategic analysis and advanced data science solutions than business-as-usual dashboards and BI reporting. Typically, data scientists work across two different tracks: 1) Answering strategic ad-hoc questions with focused reports, and 2) Building BI reports and dashboards that provide stakeholders with a wide breadth of exploratory coverage. Until the launch of Mode’s Helix engine, data teams had to choose different tools for these tracks, trading off speed and depth for coverage and breadth. In both cases, they also had to predict their customers’ questions by anticipating follow-on questions or preempting the business’ future needs by building a time-consuming, untested reporting suite.

“With Helix, data scientists no longer have to choose between shipping fast, one-off answers and building dashboards for broader coverage,” said Benn Stancil, Co-founder and President, Mode Analytics. “Stakeholders can extend any analysis to answer their own questions, which means neither stakeholders nor data scientists have to predict what they’ll be asked next. Regardless of the complexity of the problem at hand, users can increase the speed of better decision-making with Helix.”

In Spring 2020, Mode was the recipient of four G2 Awards (for a total of nine), including Best estimated ROI, Fastest Implementation, Highest Performer, and Overall Leader.

“Helix is saving us weeks of development time because we can build new dashboards quicker than ever before,” said Andrew Zirm, senior data scientist at Greenhouse, a Mode customer. “Marketers, product managers, and executives are also discovering new opportunities and asking new questions.”

P2 Science Launches Alternative to D5 Volatile Silicone


News Image

P2 Science, Inc. (P2) today announced the launch of a brand new, unique, bioderived and patented alternative to volatile silicones, built on the Citropol® platform. In a webinar attended by hundreds of formulators and brand marketing executives from around the world, P2 introduced Citropol® V5 and shared some sensorial, physical and performance data. Citropol® V5, like all members of the new Citropol® platform, is made from wood and is also biodegradable and biocompatible.

Commercial manufacturing of the new product has already started at P2’s green chemistry manufacturing facility in Naugatuck, CT. Samples and product literature are available at the company’s website, and products can be ordered directly on the company’s e-store – also on the website.

“The market has, for many years, been looking for good alternatives to volatile D5 silicones in cosmetics. We are really pleased to be able to offer something with a performance profile that is superior to D5 in some key respects,” said Neil Burns, CEO of P2. He added, “This product looks and feels like a silicone. It rubs to a smooth, silky finish on the skin. On hair, it’s tendency to build up is significantly less than D5. Consumers have told us that buildup is something they are anxious to avoid. V5 solves that huge problem for them.”

Patrick Foley, P2’s CSO noted, “This D5 alternative has been a dream of ours since we started researching this area several years ago. We are happy to see that dream realized in a commercial product.” Ryan Cheng, Business Development Director added, “The e-store is open on our website where our customers can order Citropol V5 for quick delivery with a few clicks.”

Citropol® V5 is the third commercial product to come out of P2’s proprietary Citropol® series. Last month, the company pledged to support the planting of a tree for every kg of Citropol® sold. P2 Science has a product launch schedule comprising of at least one new product per month until the end of 2020.

About P2 Science:

P2 Science is renewable chemistry company, co-founded by Professor Paul Anastas, head of the Yale Center for Green Chemistry and Green Engineering. P2 has developed and patented green chemistry technologies for converting renewable feedstocks into high-value specialty products.

Security Industry Association Says Portland, Ore., Facial Recognition Bans Are Shortsighted


We continue to invite local leaders across the country to work with us to develop more sensible approaches to the use of facial recognition.

The Security Industry Association (SIA) says that the decision by the city council of Portland, Ore., to ban facial recognition technology use by businesses in places of public accommodation starting January 2021 and to prohibit all city government use of facial recognition technologies are shortsighted decisions that do not consider effective and beneficial applications of facial recognition.

The Portland ordinance prohibiting private entities’ use of facial recognition technologies affects any business providing goods, services or other accommodations to the public and will impact businesses’ ability to protect workers, customers, facilities and property, since it effectively targets business use of security systems.

“Turning back the clock on technological advancement through a complete ban on private-sector use of technology that clearly keeps our fellow citizens safe is not a rational answer during this period of social unrest in Portland,” said SIA CEO Don Erickson. “It is hardly a model approach to policymaking that any government should adopt. Let’s act together now to thoughtfully educate the public about the legal and effective use of facial recognition technology while being mindful of legitimate questions raised about the impact of this technology on all stakeholders, including communities of color. We continue to invite local leaders across the country to work with us to develop more sensible approaches to the use of facial recognition.”

SIA’s Senior Director of Government Relations Jake Parker provided testimony (https://youtu.be/TdNixtzKsZ0?t=5337) at the Portland city council hearing on Thursday, Sept. 9, in opposition to these widespread prohibitions.

As part of the council’s discussion, Portland Councilwoman Jo Ann Hardesty stated prior to the vote that the council would revisit the ban when there is technology that is not racially biased and is tested by independent third parties.

SIA notes that such technology is available today, and in July, SIA authored and submitted a letter to Portland’s mayor and city council, which noted the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s research documenting that high-performing algorithms perform equally well across different demographics.

The letter stated: “The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the world’s leading authority on this technology, found last year that the highest performing technologies had ‘undetectable’ differences across demographic groups—accuracy rates well above 99% and undetectable false positive differences across demographics, even when tested against galleries of up to 12 million images.”

SIA believes all technology products, including facial recognition, must only be used for purposes that are lawful, ethical and nondiscriminatory, and recently released and committed to a series of principles (https://www.securityindustry.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/SIA-Principles-Responsible-Ethical-Facial-Recognition-Usage.pdf) to be used in the development and deployment of facial recognition, ensuring the technology is used in a transparent and nondiscriminatory way that implements privacy protections and human oversight into its use.

SIA welcomes working with cities and government on future facial recognition ordinances and policies to ensure decisions are based upon facts and a complete understanding of current technologies and that such policies consider widespread public support for the benefits of this technology.

About SIA

SIA (https://www.securityindustry.org) is the leading trade association for global security solution providers, with over 1,100 innovative member companies representing thousands of security leaders and experts who shape the future of the security industry. SIA protects and advances its members’ interests by advocating pro-industry policies and legislation at the federal and state levels, creating open industry standards that enable integration, advancing industry professionalism through education and training, opening global market opportunities and collaborating with other like-minded organizations.

Noesis excelling in the USA with OutSystems technology


Logo Noesis

International tech consulting company Noesis continues expanding its presence in the USA, strongly supported on OutSystems projects. The two organizations have maintained a long-lasting partnership, starting in 2008, with Noesis consistently reinforcing its position of leadership and expertise throughout countless projects.

The strategic focus in the region allowed Noesis to achieve the official OutSystems partnership certification in the USA, making it one of the most recognized companies working with OutSystems technology in the country. The company is growing steadily in the region, and U.S. operations are expected to represent 15% of Noesis’ Low-Code Solutions business area revenue in 2020. Customer adoption for OutSystems solutions in the USA has been increasing and as a result it is expected Noesis operation in the region to grow around 40% by the end of 2020.

To achieve this goal, Noesis moved its office from Boston to Raleigh, North Carolina, in search of a less mainstream region, with access to important sources of talent. Raleigh is an important technological center where some renowned companies are located and, for this reason, Noesis considered that it is the ideal place to establish itself.

According to Homero Figueiredo, Noesis Low-Code Solutions Director, “The strong partnership with OutSystems, achieved through the delivery of several successful projects in Europe, as well as proximity to customers and the Noesis team’s abilities are a decisive factor for the growth in the US. We believe that our ability to fulfill our offer, both in quality and in scale, will contribute to the success of this new challenge,” he says.

As Noesis’ main goals until the end of the year, the company intends to hire a local team, which will allow it to be closer to the American based client, and also provide the possibility to increase the number of companies using this technology. Furthermore, Noesis aims to become a household name in the USA, opening doors to new opportunities, both in OutSystems as well as other areas of expertise.

Besides OutSystems, Noesis has fueled digital transformation in other areas, including Quality Management and DevOps & Automation, actively developing integrated solutions to face each client’s specific challenges. For example, Noesis developed NTX® – Ngine Testing Experience – its own test automation tool with a specific algorithm to identify OutSystems objects. This is a game-changer in the Industry and makes NTX® a one-of-a-kind test automation tool that really differentiates itself from other solutions available in the market.

Noesis and OutSystems partnering to fuel digital transformation

OutSystems platform provides a unique way to address new and challenging business scenarios that are part of the digital transformation in a much faster way. Noesis is the right partner for companies of all sizes wanting to differentiate and provide best-in-class solutions to their customers. The benefits of agility include lower risks in developing new solutions, investment of time and resources, as well as quicker time-to-market.

This year, OutSystems NextStep – #1 low-code event in the World – will go virtual on the 15th and 16th of September with an audience composed by more than 25 industries from over 70 countries.

Noesis, NextStep’s Premium Sponsor, has already been distinguished with 12 Innovation Awards and currently has a team with more than 240 certifications that guarantee agility and speed in the digital transformation of renowned companies in Portugal, USA, and the Netherlands.

As part of the event strategy, Noesis is offering 6 POCs (Proof of Concept) based on OutSystems technology. This way, any Company can submit their idea, project or business challenge and apply for a proof-of-Concept using OutSystems technology, for free. Noesis will select the best 6 ideas and develop a Beta version of those applications, without commitment. Noesis’ objective is to accelerate Companies’ Digital Transformation, by showing the advantages of OutSystems technology, as well as Noesis’s skills and experience.

For those reasons, Noesis continues to be an active partner in contributing to the success of this great event, which promises 2 days with more than 50 sessions and 100 hours of content that will take Developers, Solution Architects Technology Leaders and other stakeholders in an immersive low-code experience.
