FREMONT, Calif., Sept. 20, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Identiv, Inc. (NASDAQ:INVE) today announced that the company has partnered with Chronicled, Inc. to launch a temperature logger solution which can be monitored in the cloud for the cold chain industry, the NFC Temperature Logger. Identiv and Chronicled will present live demos of the new solution at the 15th Annual Global Forum held September 25 – 29, 2017, in Chicago, Ill.
The NFC Temperature Logger is a low-cost, disposable, portable smart sensor delivered as a label that tracks and stores temperature readings. In addition to its ultra-thin adhesive form factor, it can be read by common Android phones, as well as any other device with near field communication (NFC) reading capability. The NFC Temperature Logger delivers end-to-end data security.
“Identiv and Chronicled first partnered in 2015 to utilize NFC identity inlays for authentication in fine art, sneakers, and luxury goods,” said Stephane Ardiley, Identiv Director of Product Management. “After the launch of our uTrust Sense Temperature Tracker, we were excited to team up with Chronicled again to take the solution even further, bringing the cold chain industry the most complete, software-driven temperature logging solution to date.”
Based on Identiv’s award-winning uTrust Sense Temperature Tracker datalogger solution, the NFC Temperature Logger monitors and tracks temperature-sensitive products for cold chain applications, smart packaging, government use cases, medical products and pharmaceutical logistics, and other fragile goods. The precise temperature accuracy of the tag makes it ideal for use with perishable goods, including fresh fish, caviar, wine, blood, human organs, vaccines, flowers, and more, protecting product and brand integrity and profits, while significantly minimizing costs for the shipper, receiver, and customer. The data can be read locally by a mobile device or uploaded to the cloud for analytics and reporting.
“Our collaboration with Identiv brings more extensive programmability, easier integration with enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, and datalogging into the last mile,” said Ryan Orr, Chronicled CEO. “We are also exploring ‘smart alerts’ that can help guide remedial actions within the supply chain, in addition to integration with Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA) workflows. We’re leveraging a software-driven approach to create a truly integrated, smart platform.”
The NFC Temperature Logger features the cloud-based, mobile Chronicled App, a utility tool that brings the power of smart-monitoring to supply chain, cold chain, and logistics professionals. Its software dashboard features include data modeling, datalogger registration and verification of object and device identities, and temperature tracking and validation.
To learn more about Identiv and Chronicled’s NFC Temperature Logger, visit the Chronicled booth at the 15th Annual Global Forum held September 25 – 29 in Chicago, Ill. or register today for the Innovative Smart Sensor for Cold Chain and Pharmaceutical Applications Webinar on October 10, 2017.

Philadelphia, PA, Sept. 06, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Deacom, Inc., the developer of a single-system Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solution, today announced that Riverbend Foods, a contract and private label manufacturer of soup and baby food, is implementing DEACOM ERP to lay the foundation for rapid growth. Insight Equity, a leading middle-market private equity firm, recently formed the manufacturing company after its acquisition of TreeHouse Foods’ soup and infant feeding business.
“We believe there are great opportunities to grow the business through existing categories as well as further acquisitions into similar areas,” said Tom Lavan, CEO of Riverbend Foods. “Therefore, it is critical that the right business management software is put in place to do so effectively which is why we selected DEACOM ERP. Since the solution is designed specifically for manufacturers like ours, we are confident in its ability to help us manage the unique challenges of our contract and private label manufacturing business.”
According to Riverbend Foods, a number of manual processes currently in place is not able to provide the team with optimal inventory control and operational visibility. Deacom’s single-system solution will introduce more automated practices without third party modules and customizations. The centralized ERP environment and Deacom’s guaranteed fixed-price implementation will ensure the company stays within budget throughout the project.
With strong process controls in place, Riverbend Foods will be able to strategically identify significant expansion opportunities based on a cohesive set of data. Access to historical and real-time data from one software interface will provide the business with valuable insight into trends, performance, and forecasts.
“With DEACOM ERP, we are able to create a strong foundation for operational growth, while still maintaining our commitment to delivering superior quality and excellent customer service,” continued Lavan.

BURBANK, Calif., Sept. 20, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Condusiv® Technologies, the world leader in software-only storage performance solutions, today shared a word cloud graphic that encapsulates hundreds of responses from over 1,400 IT Professionals concerning the most I/O intensive applications supported within their organization.
A photo accompanying this announcement is available at http://www.globenewswire.com/NewsRoom/AttachmentNg/1b698b18-8a38-4bbd-a9ff-df6817bfc909
The word cloud weights the number of times an application is mentioned and displays the size relative to its frequency. In a glance, anyone can quickly ascertain the most popular applications driving performance requirements across the enterprise.
“The word cloud graphic is unique because you can see the result of hundreds of responses in a single glance. It’s an easy way to identify the biggest performance issues and be surprised by emerging trends. However, what didn’t surprise us was ‘SQL.’ MS-SQL is so far out in front driving performance requirements that it’s hard to even notice what is in second place. Further, when you examine some of the tertiary application names that show up like CRM, ERP, or Proprietary/Custom apps, most of those and others commonly run on top of SQL,” said Brian Morin, SVP Sales & Marketing, Condusiv Technologies.
Morin continued, “The reason we are not surprised by the result is because when a new customer adopts our I/O reduction software platform that guarantees to solve their toughest application performance challenges, it is related to an application running on MS-SQL seven times out of ten. Sure, we see some of the other common culprits like Oracle, Exchange, file servers, backup, VDI, imaging, and more. But there is not much competing with MS-SQL when it comes to driving performance requirements at scale.”

Finance automation company V1 has been awarded the highly coveted Rockstar* partner status from Sage, taking it another step closer to driving greater automation in the accounting sector. Six years after a joint agreement was signed to introduce EDM for Sage X3, V1’s Purchase Invoice Automation (PIA) solution has been given the top partner ranking for Sage X3, held by just 12 Independent Software Vendors (ISV) globally. The V1 solution is also the only certified invoice automation software for Sage ERP X3.
The new status, which further strengthens V1’s partnership with Sage, is an important step in supporting Sage’s plans to increase sales revenues for its business management solution Sage X3 as well as support companies looking to improve overall efficiencies in the finance department. The new Rockstar status will mean the V1 solution will be available to midmarket businesses in Europe, North America, Australia and South Africa.
David White, Channel and Alliances Director UK Enterprise at Sage, comments: “We named V1 as our Rockstar because our relationship has over the years grown from strength to strength. V1 knows how we work and understands our technology. Its invoice automation solution integrates seamlessly with Sage X3, and it’s this unique level of integration, along with the product portfolio V1 offers, that is helping us win more business. Our partnership encourages mutual business growth, increases market reach, and improves customer satisfaction. It also meets the evolving needs of our customers who are showing a huge appetite for automation and cost savings.”
V1’s solution is integrated tightly into the core of Sage X3, offering advanced functionality for true finance automation. It is able to simplify and modernise standard business processes such as Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable by automating data capture, filing and retrieval of transaction related documents. Over 2,000 customers worldwide are using V1 solutions and it’s set to increase significantly as recent research from Sage suggests 86% accountants are now ready to embrace emerging technology to eliminate admin.
Dean McGlone, Sales Director at V1, says. “Sage’s decision to give the Rockstar status to our solution reaffirms its confidence in automating the finance function to benefit business as a whole. Automation is fast becoming part of organisations’ digital transformation plans, with most of our resellers now reporting our PIA solution helped them increase average order values and win new business for Sage. The increased demand also means we are constantly signing up new resellers wanting to take advantage of automation, with Frontline Consultancy being the latest partner to join our Sage X3 partner programme.”

Business appetite for Industry 4.0 is growing, but we are yet to reach the tipping point where manufacturers have transformed into digital enterprises.
This is according to CTO Jon Wrennall at British software and services company Advanced, who also believes the Cloud is integral to helping drive Industry 4.0 forward.
Wrennall said: “Many of us are familiar with the concept of Industry 4.0, but we are led to believe that businesses are well on their way in digital transformation. The reality is that there is a growing gap between executive ambition and transformative action. In fact, according to a recent KPMG report, just 43% have a coherent Industry 4.0 strategy. This tells us there’s a job to be done in increasing confidence among late digital adopters.”
Advanced is using the Cloud to help manufacturers take Industry 4.0 forward. In July, the company acquired Hudman, developer of an award-winning cloud-based Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system, as part of a new Cloud-first strategy. Three months on, it has unveiled Advanced Business Cloud Essentials, as the new name for the Hudman SaaS ERP solution and signed up several manufacturers during the process.
James Gourmet Coffee, J S Bailey and Aspire Furniture are examples of organisations that have invested in the solution, which covers the entire business process from accounts and payroll through to operations, stock, customers and the supply chain. J S Bailey, a leading cheese wholesaler with a turnover of £30m, believes Advanced will help it reduce paperwork across the organisation by as much as 80%.
“Admittedly, our ways of working were becoming outdated and in several areas were struggling to keep pace with rapid growth of the company” said Anne German, System Manager at J S Bailey. “A number of our business processes were not fully integrated with each other, requiring the support of manual procedures, making it more difficult for us to monitor and report on production, sales and finance in the timely manner that a growing business requires.
“We recognised a change was needed if we were to succeed in the ‘new’ digital era, but we knew little about which technologies could help us reimagine our business. The cloud ERP solution was recommended to us and, when seeing it in action, we were impressed by the features as well as the affordability and customer service that came with them. Moving to the cloud needn’t have been so daunting after all, and we are confident it will give us a fully integrated system fit for the future.”
James Gourmet Coffee, a successful family run independent coffee roasting business with a track record of 20 years in the industry, says the Cloud ERP solution replaced a poorly performing accounting solution that made creating simple reports too time consuming. Peter James, owner and founder of the business added: “It’s become an invaluable visual tool that I trust to help me make important business decisions. It provides an overview of what’s going on in the business, from trends and tracking of consumption, and covers our key business operations including HR and payroll. The team quickly built up our confidence in the solution and we believe the Cloud is the way forward in transforming our processes online.”
Advanced’s latest research shows there are still many organisations that are yet to make the jump to cloud technology. Just 33% admit to being experienced in the cloud and 37% have only recently launched cloud computing projects for the first time. What’s most concerning is that a massive 82% want to see Cloud providers do more to build confidence among those looking to adopt a digital transformation strategy, of which the Cloud is fundamental.
Mark Dewell, Managing Director – Commercial and Third Sector at Advanced, adds: “The latest customer wins are sure signs that Cloud adoption is accelerating within the manufacturing industry. It’s encouraging to see the cloud is recognised as making a real difference to their business. We now want to build on this success and bring more organisations like J S Bailey to the Cloud, embracing ERP and enabling them to be part of the trend that is Industry 4.0. But, until we – as an industry – take action and build confidence among those manufacturers still to adopt the Cloud, we will not reach the tipping point in Industry 4.0.”

The ‘Market Guide for Corporate Compliance and Oversight Solutions’ report will help security and risk management leaders supporting compliance programs to identify key selection criteria for a CCO solution.
CCO “solutions help standardise and automate compliance activities to increase efficiency and effectiveness of compliance management programs.”
The report, which Gartner says will “provide more understanding of the market and its offerings”, reads: “One of the biggest challenges for compliance leaders is the speed of change.
“CCO solutions enable a common cross-enterprise approach to compliance activities that most affect the regulatory oversight of corporate governance through support of the five major requirements for managing a compliance program: policy development, regulatory aggregation, normalization and mapping, control monitoring, workflow management, and case management.
“The corporate compliance and oversight solutions market is mature in its primary feature set, but differentiation lies in areas such as user-friendliness, quick and easy implementation, integration with other integrated risk management (IRM) solutions, and good visualization and reporting capability.”
Ideagen, which currently helps over 3,000 organisations globally to manage compliance, quality, risk and safety, was named as one of the CCO markets’ Representative Vendors.
Colin Smith, Head of Ideagen’s Banking, Finance and Audit operations, said: “Gartner is the world’s leading IT industry analyst and to be named in its CCO Market Guide we feel is a great achievement for Ideagen. We believe it is very much a testament to both our software and the work we are doing in the CCO space.”
Ideagen provides quality, safety, audit, performance and risk management software and expertise and has operations in the UK, the European Union, the United States and the Middle East.
The company has an excellent portfolio of software products and helps the world’s leading brands to improve operational efficiency, strengthen compliance and oversight and anticipate and manage every detail of risk to reduce costs and improve efficiency.
Ideagen’s customer base includes many blue-chip organisations such as BAE Systems, Commerzbank, BDO, PwC, Shell and the European Central Bank as well as 150 hospitals in the UK and US.
The company counts eight of the top ten UK accounting firms, 80% of the UK NHS, the top seven global aerospace and defence companies and 17 out of the top 25 global pharmaceutical companies as part of its highly regulated client base.

Nokia is expanding its IoT services offering to help mobile operators enter new IoT market segments or expand their footprint geographically. The company’s WING (worldwide IoT network grid) market entry service is a consultative offering for operators that identifies the best vertical market opportunities in a region and provides the related IoT applications and go-to-market model to help them scale fast to take advantage of the rapidly growing IoT market.
The service determines opportunities in nine IoT market segments: connected car, healthcare, logistics and transport, smart cities, utilities, agriculture, retail, smart homes and buildings, as well as connected industry. Once a service is up and running, Nokia says its WING managed service model can provide provisioning, device management, operations, security, customer care and billing for all connected applications.
“IoT deployments are complex, but with our help operators will be able to fast-track their entry into the market as we provide them not only with a ready-to-go-market and business model, but also with a pre-integrated IoT infrastructure, complete service model and go-to-market support services,” said Friedrich Trawoeger, head of Managed Services at Nokia.
Nokia launched the WING solution back in February as a one-stop-shop, full service model offering seamless IoT connectivity across technologies and geographical borders to address four initial markets: transport, health, utilities and safety. WING manages both the IoT connectivity and services needs of a client’s assets as they move around the globe. Connectivity is enabled by intelligent switching between cellular and non-cellular networks. The company uses its own IMPACT IoT platform for device management, subscription management and analytics. Nokia IMPACT subscription management for eSIM will automatically configure connectivity to a communication service provider’s network as the asset crosses geographical borders.

Boosting awareness for the global charity event Giving Tuesday is incredibly important. With as little as 18% of people aware of Giving Tuesday, it is crucial to drive the awareness for such a charitable cause – especially when compared to the 93% of people aware of Black Friday.
How can you prepare for Giving Tuesday, though? To prepare and drive such awareness, email marketing can be your saving grace when trying to hit fundraiser goals. Here’s how charities can plan for a successful Giving Tuesday this November.
To increase your online visibility, you will want to ensure you emails can be read across multiple devices. On an average day, 53% of emails are read on a mobile device, which increased to 75% during the holidays. Therefore, to become more noticeable, you need to invest in a user-friendly, easy to read and navigate email template for mobiles, tablets and desktops. By doing so, you could see a 34% increase in donations.
Instead of sending an email containing heavy copy, consider including a video instead. Our attention spans are decreasing, therefore, if your email does not generate enough interest quickly, then your readers will become disinterested. Including an email can increase open rates by up to 13%; conversions can also increase by 21%.
Do not send a one size fits all email to your volunteers. Instead, collect data so you can segment your findings. You want to document any online behaviors, browser history, gender, location and age; you then want to utilize the information by curating a relevant email which is sent via automation. The subject line should be personalized, as well as the copy found in the email. Marketers have found that by collecting data and sending out personalized email campaigns, there has been a 760% increase in email revenue.
