The TNS Group has again been named as one of the world’s premier managed service providers on the prestigious 2021 Channel Futures MSP 501 rankings. TNS continues to place in the top 250 of Managed Service Providers (MSPs) globally.

The TNS Group has been selected as one of the technology industry’s top-performing providers of managed services by the editors of Channel Futures. For the past 15 years, MSPs from around the globe have submitted applications to be included on this prestigious and definitive listing. The Channel Futures MSP 501 survey examines organizational performance based on annual sales, recurring revenue, profit margins, revenue mix, growth opportunities, innovation, technology solutions supported, and company and customer demographics.

Managed services providers that qualify for the list must pass a rigorous review conducted by the research team and editors of Channel Futures that rank applicants using a unique methodology that weighs financial performance according to long-term health and viability, commitment to recurring revenue and operational efficiency.

Channel Futures is pleased to name The TNS Group to the 2021 MSP 501.

Winners are being recognized on the Channel Futures website and will be honored at a special ceremony at the MSP Summit held Nov. 1-2 in Las Vegas as part of the Channel Partners Conf. & Expo.

Since its inception, the MSP 501 has evolved from a competitive ranking into a vibrant group of innovators focused on high levels of customer satisfaction at small, medium, and large organizations in public and private sectors. Today, many of their services and technology offerings focus on growing customer needs in the areas of cloud, security, collaboration, and support of hybrid work forces.

“The 2021 Channel Futures MSP 501 winners are the highest-performing and most innovative IT providers in the industry today. They stand head and shoulders above the competition,” said Robert DeMarzo, vice president of content for the Channel Futures and Channel Partners Conference & Expo division of Informa Tech Channels. “Coordinated by Channel Futures MSP 501 editor Allison Francis, this year’s list was clearly one of the best ever on record.”

“Vendors that are aligned with the Channel Futures MSP 501 are driving a new wave of innovation in the industry. Through their partnerships they are demonstrating a commitment to moving the MSP and entire channel forward,” said Kelly Danziger, general manager of Informa Tech Channels. “We extend our heartfelt congratulations to the 2021 winners and gratitude to the thousands of MSPs that have contributed to the continuing growth and success of the managed services sector.”

The MSP 501 winners will be recognized at the MSP 501 Awards Gala at the Channel Partners Conference & Expo / MSP Summit, Nov. 1-4, in Las Vegas.

Yamgo – Get Paid For Life

Yamgo offers the first step for many in emerging markets to earn cryptocurrency from their digital actions and bank that in an account they own and control.

SWANSEA, U.K. (PRWEB)
July 13, 2021

Yamgo, the innovative company behind the highly successful blockchain advertising platform AdsDax, has today announced the beta-launch of a game-changing new rewards platform.

The Yamgo Rewards Platform allows users to earn crypto assets in exchange for their digital actions on the platform. Built on the Hedera Hashgraph network, Yamgo enables users to earn hbars, the native cryptocurrency of the Hedera network, for actions such as creating an account, referring friends, watching videos, completing offers, playing mobile games and more. The new platform will allow users to be appropriately rewarded for their time, data and attention in their online actions.

Speaking about the launch, Yamgo CEO Ian Mullins stated: “Yamgo offers the first step for many in emerging markets to earn cryptocurrency from their digital actions and bank that in an account they own and control. Our infrastructure and use of decentralised finance is unique in the industry and when combined with the speed, throughput, and low cost of transactions on the Hedera network we have a winning model to help consumers earn value and access financial services anywhere and at extremely low costs. It’s fast, simple and easy to open your account and start earning hbars. Go to http://www.yamgo.com and sign up now, we will give you a reward just for opening your account.”

With the current success of the AdsDax Advertising Platform, Yamgo has been leading the way in building commercially viable products that leverage distributed ledger technology. The Yamgo Rewards Platform is the next evolutionary step in the vision laid out by Yamgo to create an ecosystem for businesses that not only protects the privacy and data of consumers, but also gives them the opportunity to be rewarded for their digital actions and engagements.

Ryan Davies, CPO at Yamgo, noted, “This is the realisation of our long-term vision to use distributed ledger technology to redistribute the money spent in advertising and marketing away from unnecessary middlemen or ad fraud and give it to the people who deserve it – the everyday users. Through AdsDax we set out to not only prove that it was viable to run an ad network with events tracked on a distributed ledger but also that we could leverage this technology to reduce fraud and remove middlemen. We’ve achieved that goal and now it’s time for the next step – rewarding consumers.”

Christian Hasker, CMO at Hedera, commented, “The Yamgo team continues to be at the cutting edge of consumer-facing applications that leverage distributed ledger technology. Already conducting millions of transactions weekly on the Hedera network with their AdsDax digital advertising platform, we’re excited to see how they further engage consumers and brands with the new Yamgo Rewards Platform.”

Discussing the platform Davies continued, “The beta release of our platform is just step one of our grand plans for Yamgo, with lots more exciting features launching in the upcoming weeks. Users can register and earn rewards instantly – just for signing up. We are going to be consistently releasing new features and new ways to earn crypto assets. It’s an exciting time.”

ZorroSign, or don’t sign.

Congress must tackle this issue head-on and the Improving Digital Identity Act is a critical leap forward.

PHOENIX (PRWEB)
July 08, 2021

Shamsh Hadi, CEO of ZorroSign, Inc. – a technology company based in Phoenix, AZ, today endorsed legislation introduced last week in the U.S. House of Representatives to establish a government-wide approach to improving digital identity. “This important legislative initiative will help facilitate the modernization of our country’s digital identity infrastructure which is lagging behind our global competitors,” said Hadi, who is also a founding member of the Association for Data and Cyber Governance (ADCG).

The bi-partisan bill, the Improving Digital Identity Act of 2021, was introduced on June 30, 2021 by U.S. Reps. Bill Foster (D-IL), John Katko (R-NY), Jim Langevin (D-RI), and Barry Loudermilk (R-GA). The bill would establish a task force to bring together key federal agencies with state and local government representatives to develop secure methods for government agencies to validate identity attributes to protect the privacy and security of individuals, and support reliable, interoperable digital identity verification tools in the public and private sectors. The bill, H.R. 4258, would also direct the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to create a new framework of standards to guide government agencies when providing digital identity verification services – placing an emphasis on privacy and security. Finally, the bill would establish a grant program within the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to allow states to upgrade the systems they use to issue drivers’ licenses and other types of identity credentials, and to support the development of secure, interoperable state systems that enable digital identity verification in accordance with the framework developed by NIST.

“Congressman Foster, Katko, Langevin and Loudermilk are to be applauded for their strong leadership in Congress on the vital issue of digital identity verification,” noted Hadi. “As the CEO of a company that lives and breathes privacy and security, I appreciate the vital nature of this legislative effort. Congress must tackle this issue head-on and the Improving Digital Identity Act is a critical leap forward.”

Hadi asserted that “enactment of this bill into law will ensure that the United States remains a world leader when it comes to online privacy and security. Indeed, the future of our economy depends on the U.S. government tackling this issue and doing everything possible to ensure that the United States is on the cutting edge when it comes to digital identity verification services.”
