We now have direct access to the developers of the standard for support, have the ability to contribute ideas and be part of development for future versions and can participate in other Group initiatives. I am confident that our participation will enable the Group to enhance the standard going forward and I look forward to working with the Group to improve our customers’ experiences. Altruistically, I hope to provide as much benefit to the Group and the community as I expect us to receive from our membership. There’s a lot of positive outcomes that are possible.”

New release from TriggerMesh expands multi-cloud capabilities, accelerates app modernization

Enterprises are looking for an open source alternative to monolithic, proprietary, and expensive iPaaS systems. With the new capabilities in this latest release, TriggerMesh provides these businesses with a very clean on-ramp to cloud-native integration. – Sebastien Goasguen, TriggerMesh

RALEIGH, N.C. and GENEVA (PRWEB)
March 10, 2022

TriggerMesh, a cloud native integration platform provider, today announced its latest open source release with expanded Azure and Google Cloud Sources and key features to accelerate application modernization. The release is aimed at simplifying multi-cloud application and data integration and accelerating application modernization, in particular for enterprises using IBM MQ.

To help architects and developers consume messages from multiple clouds, TriggerMesh now supports all the following Azure and Google Cloud Event Sources out of the box:

Azure Sources:

• Azure Activity Logs, Azure Blob Storage, Azure Event Grid, Azure Event Hub, Azure IoT Hub, Azure Queue Storage, Azure Service Bus Queue, Azure Service Bus Topic

Google Cloud Sources:

• Google Cloud Audit Logs, Google Cloud Billing, Google Cloud IoT, Google Cloud PubSub, Google Cloud Source Repositories, Google Cloud Storage

“Our ever-growing catalog of supported event sources for AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, SaaS tools like Salesforce, and streaming tools like Apache Kafka helps multi-cloud enterprises with a variety of use cases, such as building a security notification system across clouds to improve cloud governance,” said Sebastien Goasguen, TriggerMesh Co-Founder and Head of Product.

A complete list of Event Sources, Targets, and Connectors can be found here.

This release also adds IBM MQ as an open source Event Source and Event Target. These features help developers modernize legacy MQ applications and develop cloud-native applications that are containerized and run in Kubernetes. For example, an enterprise can now use TriggerMesh open source to quickly expose a REST API in front of a legacy mainframe system of record.

In tandem with the IBM MQ support, this release also includes two data Transformations to automate and scale the handling of XML data into cloud-native applications. The new XSLT Transformation and XML to JSON Transformation equip developers with out of the box XML transformation logic.

Finally, and also in support of IBM MQ and other legacy messaging systems, this release includes a synchronizing mechanism, which provides an API that uses a correlation id to wait for specific events answering to a request. Synchronizer can be used in conjunction with the IBM MQ Source and Target to build a synchronous API from an asynchronous event flow.

“Enterprises are looking for an open source alternative to monolithic, proprietary, and expensive iPaaS systems,” added Goasguen. “With the new capabilities in this latest release, TriggerMesh provides these businesses with a very clean on-ramp to cloud-native integration.”

About TriggerMesh

TriggerMesh simplifies building event-driven applications using data and events from any platform and cloud service. Applying the concepts of “infrastructure as code” to application integration, cloud operators and DevOps practitioners use TriggerMesh to build event-driven integrations. TriggerMesh accelerates time to value, codifies application and data flows in an enterprise platform, and supports the move to an event-driven enterprise.

“Mashgin provides a better way for companies looking to innovate and adjust to shifting consumer behavior, even more so in the wake of a global pandemic,” said Abhinai Srivastava, CEO and co-founder of Mashgin.

PALO ALTO, Calif. (PRWEB)
March 14, 2022

PALO ALTO, Calif. — March 14, 2022 — Mashgin, the world’s fastest self-checkout system powered by AI and computer vision, announced today the company has been named to Fast Company’s prestigious annual list of the World’s Most Innovative Companies for 2022. The 2022 list honors businesses that are making the biggest impact on their industries and culture as a whole—ultimately thriving in today’s ever-changing world. Mashgin is among the companies creating the future today with some of the most inspiring accomplishments of the 21st century. Named number three in the retail category of the 2022 Fast Company World’s Most Innovative Companies, Mashgin is transforming retail and has brought to market a real world application of computer vision that has already saved people 30 years of their lives waiting in line with the world’s fastest touchless self-checkout system. Mashgin has completed more than 31M transactions and $260M in transaction sales to date. View a short video of Mashgin in action here.

“Mashgin provides a better way for companies looking to innovate and adjust to shifting consumer behavior, even more so in the wake of a global pandemic,” said Abhinai Srivastava, CEO and co-founder of Mashgin. “Computer scientists have long dreamt of the possibilities of what artificial intelligence (AI) could help humankind achieve. Today, Mashgin helps lead the way to realize that dream in the retail sector by giving people back precious time that would have been otherwise wasted in line.”

The Mashgin Touchless Checkout System identifies items from virtually any angle and instantly rings them up in a single transaction with a 99.9% accuracy rate, even for produce and plated food. It doesn’t need barcodes or RFIDs, perfectly consistent packaging, or particular orientations to work correctly. Consumers simply place their items down, pay, and go — in 10 seconds or less.

Mashgin widened its lead as the most vetted computer vision-powered checkout system over the course of the past 18 months, expanding to over 700 locations, and further optimized the time it takes to launch a new location — dropping from several days to under an hour.

Mashgin also dominates in complex environments like corporate cafeterias and sports stadiums where self-checkout implementation has been near impossible — until now.

The World’s Most Innovative Companies is Fast Company’s signature franchise and one of its most highly anticipated editorial efforts of the year. It provides both a snapshot and a road map for the future of innovation across the most dynamic sectors of the economy.

“The world’s most innovative companies play an essential role in addressing the most pressing issues facing society, whether they’re fighting climate change by spurring decarbonization efforts, ameliorating the strain on supply chains, or helping us reconnect with one another over shared passions,” said Fast Company Deputy Editor David Lidsky.

For the second consecutive year, Fast Company will host its Most Innovative Companies Summit on April 26–27 to coincide with the issue launch. The virtual, multi-day summit celebrates the Most Innovative Companies in business, and provides an early look at major business trends and an inside look at what it takes to innovate in 2022. Fast Company’s Most Innovative Companies issue (March/April 2022) is available online here, as well as in-app form via iTunes, and on newsstands beginning March 15. The hashtag is #FCMostInnovative.
