Franklin Energy Releases First-of-Its-Kind Utility Marketplace


We’re evolving siloed product, program, and rebate incentive solutions to deliver the personalized experience consumers have come to expect from their utility.

PORT WASHINGTON, Wis. – Franklin Energy, a leading provider of end-to-end energy management solutions, announced today the launch of its advanced marketplace—a next-generation e-commerce solution that offers an all-in-one approach to products, services, and projects. Unlike traditional utility e-commerce solutions, the marketplace goes beyond a simple product purchase, allowing qualified customers to receive personalized recommendations, apply and combine instant rebates, enroll in demand-response programs, secure financing, and schedule installation all through a streamlined checkout process.

“Our marketplace solution is the first to fully support customer purchases of major household projects in addition to standard products commonly offered through online stores,” said Franklin Energy Vice President of Product Management Danielle Marquis. “Our solution offers transparent pre-negotiated installation pricing with integrated instant rebates and financing. Instead of providing customers with an overwhelming volume of options, we provide them with curated recommendations based on their unique needs, to streamline the purchasing process and position their utility as a trusted advisor.”

As the only software-plus-service solution currently on the market, marketplace prioritizes the customer experience by removing barriers to customer project completion. Marketplace combines product bundles, program enrollment, and direct install support with innovative offerings like interactive education tools for emerging technologies to increase program engagement and customer satisfaction.

“We’re evolving siloed product, program, and rebate incentive solutions to deliver the personalized experience consumers have come to expect from their utility,” said Franklin Energy Chief Commercial Officer Marisa Uchin. “Our marketplace inspires utility customers to take action and offers a streamlined solution that is targeted to their individual needs.”

Marketplace delivers benefits to both utility partners and their customers in one seamless platform to ensure customer interaction, active participation, and completed projects and services. To learn more about our marketplace, visit https://www.franklinenergy.com/marketplace.

Cameyo & Dito Form Alliance to Deliver End-to-End Zero Trust Security for Ultra-Secure Workspaces


To help organizations of all sizes protect against the increasing number of attacks targeting remote & hybrid workers, Cameyo and Dito have partnered to deliver an end-to-end Zero Trust security solution that provides secure workspaces in Google Cloud.

Cameyo is the only cloud-native Virtual Application Delivery (VAD) platform built from the ground up with a Zero Trust security model at its foundation. And for more than a decade Dito has been a Google Strategic Security Partner, and one of just a handful of Google Cloud partners globally that has a Google Security Specialization. Together, the partners provide organizations with a holistic Zero Trust security solution that covers every technical and operational layer. Cameyo & Dito enable organizations to provide Cloud PCs to their people with secure productivity from anywhere while preventing potential threats, including external, internal, reputational, and regulatory.

“Most organizations struggle to protect their desktops, laptops, servers, and other tools from the rapid increase of malicious attacks, primarily because there are just too many ways for bad actors to get access,” said Mark Bowker, Senior Analyst at Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG). “Cameyo and Dito are addressing this by flipping the old view of virtual desktops on its head. By removing the complicated and insecure infrastructure associated with VDI and eliminating the need to secure and manage operating systems, Cameyo and Dito are introducing a more secure approach to ‘Cloud PCs’.”

Rather than taking the traditional Windows desktop and moving it (and all of its issues) to the cloud, Cameyo and Dito enable organizations to provide their people with a simpler, more flexible, and far more secure Cloud PC for all of the applications and data they need to be productive. Users access a non-Windows-based desktop/workspace and can access all of their apps – including Windows, internal, and SaaS apps – directly from the browser without any of those apps needing to be installed and managed locally.

The combination of Cameyo’s ultra-secure Cloud PC and Dito’s Google Cloud offering provides end-to-end Zero Trust security that includes:

Complete Isolation – No devices (even managed devices) are ever trusted because those devices can be compromised. Cameyo & Dito give users secure access to the apps they need to be productive while providing complete isolation between devices and their organization’s network/data.

Segmentation – Once users are in a session, that session is segmented from the customers’ networks and data to ensure ongoing separation.

Prevention of Lateral Movement – Even in the case where a device has ransomware or malware, that malware cannot reach the customer organization’s network/data, nor can malware on their systems reach the Cameyo & Dito systems.

Always-On Monitoring & Validation – Cameyo utilizes non-persistent servers, so all customer user data is wiped from the servers every time the user logs out.

Least Privilege – With Cameyo & Dito all traffic is encrypted and apps are delivered from a secure HTML5 browser, separating the user’s device from the corporate network and eliminating the need for VPNs. Users are also unable to access admin privileges, settings, and files.

Identity & Access Management – Cameyo & Dito integrate with the customer’s Single Sign On (SSO), and the Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) they have set up with their SSO applies to Cameyo & Dito.

“Complexity is the enemy of security. Whether you’re concerned about cybercrime involving phishing, backdoors, antivirus/malware issues, RDP attacks, brute force attacks, preventing data breaches or – most likely – all of the above, you need an end-to-end zero trust solution that reduces complexity in order to increase security,” said Andrew Miller, Co-Founder & CEO of Cameyo. “Cameyo has long provided the most simple & secure Virtual App Delivery (VAD) platform for delivering a truly cloud-based desktop experience without the security issues of Windows desktops. Together with Dito we’re providing organizations a one-stop-shop for a truly integrated Cloud PC with unrivaled Zero Trust security.”

“Everyone is thinking about security right now as more and more workers remain remote and companies have to rethink the security of their data and technology. Dito has been at the forefront of this since it is one of our specialties and we’ve been implementing Google’s Cloud platform and Workspace apps for longer than just about anyone,” said Richard Foltak, Senior Vice President, CISO, and Head of Cloud at Dito. “Combining Dito’s holistic approach to Google Cloud security with Cameyo’s platform is a win for our clients and partners because it offers a smart solution to one of the biggest problems in security. We cover external, internal, reputation, and regulations in all our security services. Now, we have a brilliant VAD platform that completely changes the game.”

About Cameyo

Cameyo is the secure Virtual Application Delivery (VAD) platform for any Digital Workspace. Cameyo provides a secure, simple, flexible, and cost-effective Cloud PC solution for delivering all your apps – legacy Windows, internal web, and SaaS – to any device from the browser without the need for legacy Virtual Desktops or VPNs.

Ryan Donahue, Client Success Manager at CQL, is excited to launch Fōwling as part of the Escalade Sports portfolio of websites. “Escalade Sports is an excellent example of how to effectively implement a multi-brand, multi-site solution that scales, converts, and builds an innovative customer experience for each brand.

Eggtronic Demo Board Simplifies and Speeds Design of World’s Smallest and Most Efficient 35 W Adapters and Chargers


New Board with Silicon or GaN FETs and Proprietary EcoVoltas® QuarEgg+™Conversion Architecture Combines Above 94% Efficiency with No-Load Power Below 18 mW

By taking a fundamentally different approach to manipulating and converting power, EcoVoltas QuarEgg+ supports the creation of the smallest, most efficient and environmentally friendly power converters.

Eggtronic, has announced an AC/DC demo and development board to speed the design, prototyping and implementation of high-performance, high-efficiency, ultra-compact power converters, power adapters and device chargers. The new 35 W AC/DC development board is built using Eggtronic’s EcoVoltas® QuarEgg+™ technology. Suitable for both USB-PD and fixed power output applications, the board is available with a gallium nitride (GaN) FET (for maximum performance) or a silicon FET (for cost-effective high-performance solutions).

Eggtronic developed the EcoVoltas proprietary, patented power conversion architecture to help engineers meet long-term goals on cost, size, weight and sustainability. The architecture boosts the performance of FET switching devices, whether they are based on legacy silicon or GaN and silicon carbide (SiC) wide bandgap (WBG) materials. EcoVoltas QuarEgg+ micro-sized, ultra-efficient power converters offer up to five times lower losses and are twice as small as traditional silicon converters and have up to two times lower losses and are 30% smaller than previous GaN converters.

The new AC/DC development board combines the FETs with all of the components needed to deliver a working USB-PD or fixed-output converter. Peak efficiency is in excess of 94%, while a very flat efficiency curve ensures maximum efficiency and minimum power losses across the widest possible range of loads. By using the development board designers can also minimize so-called ‘vampire power’ thanks to a no-load power consumption that is below 18 mW.

Measuring just 38.3 x 38.3 mm x18.6 mm, the new Eggtronic board can accommodate a wide input voltage range of 90 VAC to 264 VAC. Configurable output options are 5 V/3 A, 9 V/3 A, 12 V/2.9 A, 15 V/2.3 A and 20 V/1.75 A. A version of the development board with easy access to every testing point is also available for simplified design of QuarEgg based power adapters.

“By taking a fundamentally different approach to manipulating and converting power, EcoVoltas QuarEgg+ supports the creation of the smallest, most efficient and environmentally friendly power converters,” says Igor Spinella, Eggtronic’s CEO and founder. “The 35 W AC/DC development board allows engineers to very quickly realize the size, weight, cost, efficiency and design flexibility that QuarEgg+ offers in their latest USB-PD and fixed output power adapter designs.”

The new development boards can be ordered by visiting: https://www.eggtronic.com/quaregg/

About Eggtronic:

Eggtronic has been revolutionizing the world of power converters and wireless power since 2012. Based in San Francisco, Modena, Italy, Taipei, Taiwan, and Guangzhou, China, Eggtronic develops cutting-edge, environmentally-friendly and energy-efficient technologies, with more than 240 international patents granted worldwide. 2020 saw the launch of the new ICs division that has been producing its first microchips since 2021. Whether through B2B partnerships in the consumer, automotive, or industrial fields, or for everyday consumers, Eggtronic invents revolutionary power technologies to make modern life easier, more efficient and more connected.

Microsoft and eBay Veteran Latif Nathani Joins Sapien.Network as Chief Operating Officer


News Image

Latif Nathani, Chief Operating Officer Sapien.Network

Throughout my career I have always believed that technology should be harnessed to help advance the human condition, while safeguarding the environment and delivering strong returns to investors

Sapien.Network, a Web 3.0 social network for the next generation of human connection using crypto, NFTs, and the metaverse, has appointed Latif Nathani as its Chief Operating Officer. Mr. Nathani is an experienced executive, innovator and investor with a proven track record of success. Prior to Sapien, Mr. Nathani held senior roles at eBay, Microsoft and Symantec. In his new role, Mr. Nathani will lead all aspects of the day-to-day activities including product, operations, marketing, organizational development and culture.

Sapien is designed to enable people to reclaim control of their individual and collective digital personas through a system that is human-centric instead of algorithmically determined. Once fully launched, the Sapien platform will include community groups (‘tribes”) composed of “citizens” — collectively the Sapien Nation – which will be governed by first-of-its-kind NFT passport-holders.

“The future of the internet is being built on Web 3.0 through blockchain technology, and as our Chief Operating Officer, Latif will be instrumental for us to execute on Sapien’s vision to be the social network of DAOs,” said Rob Giometti, co-founder and co-CEO Sapien Network. “Sapien’s goal is to create a scalable protocol that benefits human beings and our planet, in contrast to technology monopolies and financial structures that exploit people and our natural resources,” added Mr. Giometti.

Sapien is creating a social network for decentralized autonomous organizations (DAO), which are entities represented by rules encoded as a computer program that are transparent, controlled by the DAO members, and not influenced by a centralized government. On Sapien, every community will be a DAO, which will be equipped with the tools to govern their own community, mint their own tokens and own their collective assets.

“Sapien intends to become a new paradigm at the intersection of technology, community and commerce, that prioritizes people over algorithms and I am inspired to fully execute our strategy,” said Mr. Nathani. “Throughout my career I have always believed that technology should be harnessed to help advance the human condition, while safeguarding the environment and delivering strong returns to investors,” added Mr. Nathani.

Added Ankit Bhatia, co-founder and co-CEO of Sapien: “We are thrilled to have Latif join us as we build social technologies that preserve our agency and put humans first. He brings with him decades of proven business experience that will help us scale our operations and position Sapien for rapid growth.”

Most recently, Mr. Nathani was the CEO of eBay India where he grew its business to nearly $500 million in gross merchandise volume, more than 5 million customers and co-led its sale to Flipkart. Previously, he co-founded eMemories.com (one of the first online picture sharing services) and two enterprise businesses at Microsoft, where he served for 15 years. He also led global consumer product marketing at Symantec for a consumer base exceeding 100 million users, and he spearheaded the naming and launch of Norton 360. Mr. Nathani has three decades of technology industry experience. He graduated with an MBA from City University and B.S. (Computer Science) from the University of Arizona in 1991.

About Sapien.Network

Sapien is the first Digital Nation in the metaverse, a Republic of DAOs powered by Sapien’s first-of-its-kind NFT Passport. Our mission is to enable people to reclaim their agency by building sovereign communities focused on collective action and cooperative ownership.

Providers Rank Telehealth Top Technology They Believe Will Benefit Their Practice in 2022


News Image

We know, however, that virtual care tools like telehealth can greatly aid practices in boosting patient and staff satisfaction, while also increasing safety and enabling providers to care for their patients from any location.

As COVID-19 cases continue to rise as a result of the Omicron variant and healthcare organizations continue to battle physician shortages and burnout, healthcare providers are once again relying on virtual care as a way to continue serving patients. In fact, Updox, an EverHealth brand and complete healthcare communication solution for in-person and virtual care, today released results of its most recent customer survey that found 34% of surveyed providers ranked telehealth as the number one technology they believe will have the biggest impact on their practice in 2022 and beyond.

The use of telehealth options has increased 38X from the pre-pandemic baseline, and reports show that telehealth could account for as much as $250 billion in U.S. healthcare spending each year. In addition, the Updox survey found that 17% of surveyed providers have experienced an increase in patient visits by 5-25% by offering telehealth, and that more than a quarter of practices estimated that at least 10-25% of their visits will be offered via telehealth this year. As a result, it’s critical that healthcare practices continue to offer a mix of both in-person and virtual care options to further improve access to care, while also increasing practice productivity and revenue.

“As our industry continues to battle COVID-19 head-on, healthcare organizations are also facing many new challenges, such as a mass exodus of workers and sharp increases in provider burnout, which can ultimately impact patient care and outcomes,” said Zach Zettler, president of Updox. “We know, however, that virtual care tools like telehealth can greatly aid practices in boosting patient and staff satisfaction, while also increasing safety and enabling providers to care for their patients from any location. As such, our team at Updox remains committed to arming our customers with the solutions that are critically needed to solve many of these major obstacles.”

In response to the increasing demand in innovative, next-generation telehealth and virtual care tools, Updox will also soon be announcing upgrades to the company’s existing Video Chat solution. The enhancements are a direct result of customer needs and will feature enhanced capabilities such as a new waiting room experience, group visits to accommodate more participants, and additional features to make the overall process more intuitive and easily managed.

“In the midst of the pandemic, Updox gave our physician members the ability to still connect to their patients and that was an incredible benefit,” said Karen Marsh, RMA, CNA, Care Coordinator and IT Product Support for Huron Valley Physicians Association, an independent physicians’ organization with 400 physicians across multiple specialties throughout southeast Michigan. “Telehealth allows care to continue, without risk or putting off an appointment for something that might need to be immediately addressed.”
