OneEvent is Predictive Analytics Prove Significant ROI

After 5 months, OneEvent Technologies Thermo Heartbeat™ has shown significant return on investment (ROI) in real-world applications.

The OneEvent® system provides remote, wireless monitoring through a cellular gateway, collecting data from door and temperature sensors (including ultra-cold). Data is stored and analyzed in the cloud to verify that conditions are normal. When conditions exceed pre-set parameters, alerts are sent to one or more mobile devices.

Utilizing predictive analytics and Internet of Things (IoT) Technology, OneEvent also predicts the potential breakdown of refrigerators and freezers to further safeguard food and medical inventory including COVID-19 vaccine.

In April of 2021, OneEvent began providing customer alerts based upon its patent-pending predictive analytics. The Thermo Heartbeat™ analyzes temperature variation during normal use including warming, cooling and defrost cycles. By collecting and analyzing data with predictive analytics, the OneEvent® system can detect whether a refrigerator or freezer will have issues maintaining proper temperature and will predict if a unit’s temperature will go above or below its pre-set limits weeks in advance of doing so.

OneEvent reviewed data from the period during which the analytic platform was active and interviewed clients who received the advance notice and had their refrigeration units serviced prior to the temperature going out of the acceptable range. Based upon the data, OneEvent clients who were alerted to potential breakdowns and secured service in a timely fashion showed significant ROI, which more than paid for the cost of the OneEvent equipment and a full year of the OneEvent service.

Brands and companies can then seamlessly purchase these services without ever leaving the creator’s Link in Bio. The Collabstr app handles payment upon successful completion of an order.

CYTRIO Adds GDPR Support to All-in-one Data Privacy Rights Management Solution
Leading data, privacy, and security experts launch CYTRIO to answer CISOs’ and CPOs’ urgent call for simple and automated privacy rights management solution for mid-sized enterprises

CYTRIO, a data privacy compliance startup, has raised $3.5 million in seed funding to address mid-sized companies’ challenges of meeting increasing data privacy regulations. CYTRIO has secured funding from angel investors and institutional seed investors, including Dreamit Ventures, Food Retail Ventures, and Rockwood Group. The raise also included CYTRIO’s founding team, industry experts with 50 years of collective data, privacy and security experience, including Vijay Basani, Chief Executive Officer; Pankaj Parekh, Chief Privacy Officer; and Darshan Joshi, Chief Technology Officer.

Marketing Technology News: Chelsea Financial Services Sponsors Website and ADA…

“I have worked in the industry for both large and small companies for 30 years and have seen the data privacy market evolve”

“Today, we launch CYTRIO to enable mid-size companies to comply with numerous privacy regulations, while building customers’ trust that is essential to thrive in today’s digital economy,” said Vijay Basani, Founder and CEO of CYTRIO. “Our mission to deliver an easy-to-deploy SaaS privacy rights management solution will help mid-market enterprises swiftly and cost-effectively comply with data privacy regulations with minimal resources. We are leveling the playing field for mid-sized enterprises to compete and thrive in the data-driven digital economy, where consumers have control of their private, personal information (PI).”

According to a recent study by Cisco, 86% of respondents said they care about their data privacy and want more control over their PI, while 79% said they were willing to act to get that control. This, coupled with the rising trend in data breaches, where billions of personal data records are compromised every year, has driven the emergence of modern data privacy regulations, including state level regulations like the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (CCPA), the California Privacy Rights and Enforcement Act of 2020 (CPRA), the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act (VCDPA) of 2021, and the Colorado Privacy Act (CPA) of 2021.

Marketing Technology News: MarTech Interview with Mike Billingsley, Group CEO, OnePulse

“I have worked in the industry for both large and small companies for 30 years and have seen the data privacy market evolve,” said Michelle Finneran Dennedy, CEO at Stealth Privacy Tech Co. and Board Member of CYTRIO. “Some of the biggest obstacles for mid-market companies to adopt data privacy regulations are solutions that are expensive, cumbersome to deploy, and difficult to use, while not solving the problem. CYTRIO is directly addressing this serious issue with a cost-effective SaaS solution that will help mid-sized enterprises better understand their data assets to build digital trust.”

Current data privacy rights management solutions designed for large companies are not suitable for mid-market organizations due to deployment complexity, long time-to-value, and a need for dedicated privacy teams. Increasing competition and accelerated digital transformation are forcing SMEs to identify and close privacy or security gaps across growing infrastructures. SMEs are not able to survive customer boycotts or brand reputation damage due to customer trust erosion and privacy regulatory fines.

The CYTRIO founding team’s experience is well-suited to answer CISOs’ and CPOs’ urgent call for a mid-market solution that provides automated data discovery, built-in response work-flows, ease of deployment, and quick time-to-value. Vijay Basani brings 30 years of experience, founding WebManage Technologies (acquired by NetApp), AppIQ (acquired by HP), and Cygilant, among others. Pankaj Parekh has held CPO, CTO, and VP of engineering roles at Zscaler, Microsoft, Security First Corp., iPolicy Networks, and others. Darshan Joshi has held SVP and VP of technology and engineering roles at Informatica, Symantec, and Veritas.

In addition to Michelle Finneran Dennedy, CYTRIO board members include data, security, and SaaS experts Dan Purjes and Paul Brady.

“One of Canva’s guiding principles is to make complex things simple, and our new Video Suite will allow everyone to unlock the power of video, whether that’s to market their business, make engaging social posts, or express their creativity,” said Rob Kawalsky, Head of Product at Canva. “Video is increasingly important in the workplace and online, but traditional tools have been too difficult, expensive, or limited for most to use. Almost everyone creates visual content in today’s world, and we have re-imagined video creation and editing to meet this reality.”

Intuitive Video Editing and Recording for Everyone

Canva makes it simple to get started on almost any type of video for work or play, offering templates that span online platforms like TikTok Ads, YouTube Sets, workplace and business videos, plus fun templates for Halloween, New Year, and other celebrations. Anyone can easily create and customize videos with new features that include:

  • Scene-Based Editor: Canva simplifies video creation with a scene-based approach that feels familiar to building presentation slides, to eliminate the learning curve.
  • Single Layer Timeline on Desktop and Mobile: Scenes can easily be re-ordered, lengthened, or split using the timeline, to turn individual scenes into a story. Cinematic transitions enable a perfect flow between segments, and editing is optimized for mobile apps and browsers, removing the need for powerful hardware.
  • Multiple Audio Tracks: the video timeline now supports multiple audio tracks, whether uploaded to Canva or dragged from the media library, to enhance videos with music, sound effects, and narration. Canva Pro subscribers can access 27,000 royalty-free tracks through a partnership with Epidemic Sound, with thousands of new sound effects set to be available in November.
  • Screen and Camera Recording: users can now record footage from a camera, screen, or Chrome tab, perfect for video messages and tutorials.
  • Animation Combinations: Choose from an updated selection of animations to transform text, visual elements, or full pages, in a few simple actions. Animation Combinations, set to be launched in the coming weeks, will apply context-specific animations to every element in a scene at once, for the perfect balance.

Streamlining the Video Creation Process

According to a recent study by Canva, 68% say that video is becoming more important in the workplace, and 53% of workplace teams have created video content in the past 18 months. Canva streamlines group video projects with real-time collaboration, allowing team members to add comments, assign actions, and work on the same scenes simultaneously.

Pro and Enterprise customers can manage logos and fonts through Canva Brand Kits that help everyone create on-brand content every time. Instant Styles and Themes allow brand colors to be applied to any video template in a couple of clicks, and Magic Resize means videos can be reformatted instantly — making it easy to convert between platforms, like a YouTube Ad to a TikTok post, without starting from scratch.

A Full End to End Visual Communications Platform

Canva Video Suite is part of the free visual communications platform that already offers thousands of templates across over 100 different design formats, from presentations to infographics, posters, social media posts, videos, flyers, business cards, letterheads, and much more, plus a media library of hundreds of thousands of assets that span graphics, photos, audio, and stock video. Canva Pro customers gain access to premium features, including a content library of over 100 million assets, over 610,000 premium templates, social media scheduling, Background Remover, Magic Resize, multiple Brand Kits, and more.

Lionbridge Integrates Phrase Capabilities into its Leading Next-Generation Localization Solution

 

o9 Solutions, a leading enterprise AI software platform provider for transforming planning and decision-making, announced today that it has launched Vertex AI Forecast integration with Google Cloud as part of their ongoing partnership.

The new machine learning-powered solution is designed to help the world’s largest and most complex retail and consumer goods companies create highly accurate demand forecasts that drive greater supply chain efficiencies and lead to increased market share and profits.

Marketing Technology News: Sensibill Named a Top Growing Company by The Globe and Mail for the Second Consecutive Year

“Our new Vertex AI Forecast solution, built on the Google Cloud’s Vertex AI platform, applies our deep experience with these machine learning technologies to help retail and CPG companies quickly and easily scale their ability to generate and adjust forecasts based on real-time demand sensing.”

Introduced at Google Cloud Next ‘21, Vertex AI Forecast leverages machine learning models and vast data sets to understand the relationship between product demand and demand drivers such as promotions, pricing, competitive actions and external data such as weather, social sentiment, or Google Search trends. It then translates these signals into more accurate demand forecasts, allowing supply chain teams to make better planning decisions that minimize excess stock, avoid lost sales and reduce administrative and logistics costs.

“Shifting trends and consumer buying behaviors are pushing brands to rethink the way they do demand planning. Yet, many global retail companies and consumer brands continue to rely on historical sales information and manual adjustments rather than data-based science to forecast future demand. Vertex AI Forecast’s machine learning models integrate with supply chain workflows and connect diverse demand signals, making it easy for companies to generate accurate, highly scalable demand predictions – leading to better planning decisions and ultimately higher service levels,” said Chakri Gottemukkala, CEO of o9 Solutions.

Marketing Technology News: MarTech Interview with Phil Gray, Chief Innovation Officer at Interactions LLC

Vertex AI Forecast integrates with o9’s AI-powered planning and decision-making platform through the company’s open architecture framework and leverages Google Cloud’s proprietary machine learning algorithms for demand forecasting. Vertex AI Forecast is the first of several solutions that o9 is jointly partnering on with Google Cloud as an application partner of Google Cloud’s recently launched digital Supply Chain Twin.

“For more than 10 years, Google Cloud has created cutting-edge technologies that learn from large data sets – recognizing patterns, conducting what-if scenarios, and weighing the pros and cons of tradeoffs,” said Carrie Tharp, VP, Retail, Google Cloud. “Our new Vertex AI Forecast solution, built on the Google Cloud’s Vertex AI platform, applies our deep experience with these machine learning technologies to help retail and CPG companies quickly and easily scale their ability to generate and adjust forecasts based on real-time demand sensing.”

NEP-Group-Signs-Agreement-to-Acquire-Live-Events-Supplier-Bright-Group-in-Northern-Europe

NEP Group and its Live Events company in Northern Europe, Creative Technology Northern Europe AB, have signed a definitive agreement to purchase Bright Group, a 360 supplier of live events services in Northern Europe including audio, video and lighting solutions, trucking, stages, infrastructure/installations and camera production. The agreement became effective on October 11, conditional upon the approval of the Norwegian Competition Authority. The deal is expected to close in October or November of this year.

Prior to closing, Creative Technology Northern Europe and Bright Group will continue to operate as separate and independent companies.

Marketing Technology News: NEP Launches New Virtual Production Business Segment, Acquires Prysm Collective, Lux Machina and…

Headquartered in Vantaa (near Helsinki), Finland, Bright Group was established in 2011 when AVAB-CAC and Eastway joined forces to support the event and entertainment services business in the Nordics. Since then, more than 20 live event companies in Northern Europe have joined Bright Group – many of which have over 30 years of experience in the industry. Today, Bright Group employs teams across its locations in Sweden, Norway and Finland.

The addition of Bright Group provides both companies’ clients with access to an even more robust set of outsourced, end-to-end solutions supported by a deeper pool of skilled engineers and technicians.

“This acquisition will be great for our clients in Northern Europe and globally,” said Graham Andrews, Global President, NEP Live Events. “Adding Bright Group’s resources to NEP’s and our Creative Technology division gives us the ability to offer the ‘best of the best’ in innovative solutions, talent and resources. It’s also a great cultural fit. We have a great deal of respect for Bright Group’s work and their people.”

“As the Nordic forerunner, Bright Group has plenty to offer on an international scale. Our skilled professionals have decades worth of experience, and we are passionate about what we do. In the future, we can create unique events for even wider audiences,” said Bright Group Chairman Göran Carlson.

After a brief transition period following closing, Bright Group will become part of NEP’s Creative Technology division and will go to market as part of Creative Technology Northern Europe.

“There are so many great synergies with combining our two businesses. It is a perfect match in terms of capacity and strengths on the Norway and Sweden Live Events markets. Add to that a well-driven Finnish business on a market where we have no Live Events presence today. And, last but not least, this deal gives Bright and their skilled team the opportunity to service their clients globally in the large network of CT and NEP companies across the globe. This is very exciting,” said Patrik Dejve, Managing Director of Creative Technology Northern Europe.
