Discover, Goldman Sachs, NBCUniversal, Dow and Alexion among FORTUNE 500TM leaders earning prestigious Best in Enterprise ResilienceTM designation through rigorous CEM CertificationTM benchmarking
BURLINGTON, Mass.-Thursday 29 July 2021 [ AETOS Wire ]

BURLINGTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Everbridge, Inc. (NASDAQ: EVBG) today announced the industry’s first Critical Event Management (CEM) Certification™ Program for assessing an organization’s enterprise resilience. Developed from 20 years of professional services engagements across tens of thousands of projects in over 150 countries and facilitating tens of billions of critical interactions, Everbridge’s proprietary CEM Standards FrameworkTM and related certification process offer organizations an end-to-end methodology for evaluating and benchmarking enterprise resilience preparedness. Businesses who achieve CEM CertificationTM status follow proven industry best practices for enterprise resilience to keep their people safe and organizations running, faster.

As a part of the launch of the CEM Certification program, several vertical-industry leaders including FORTUNE 500 companies and multi-national corporations have engaged in the evaluation and benchmarking process. Representative organizations awarded the prestigious Best in Enterprise ResilienceTM designation include financial services giants Discover and Goldman Sachs, mass media and entertainment conglomerate NBCUniversal, multi-national chemical corporation Dow, and global pharmaceutical leader Alexion. These organizations met or surpassed benchmarks in key measurable areas, demonstrating their commitment to enterprise resilience across digital and physical domains.

“Discover’s certification by Everbridge confirms our company’s commitment to keep our employees safe and to ensure that we have an effective business continuity program in place,” said Brad Earman, Security and Intelligence Operations, Discover.

Everbridge’s CEM Standards Framework anchors the certification process, which examines an organization’s capabilities across key competencies. The Best in Enterprise Resilience™ designation validates best practices in Critical Event Management (CEM). A strong CEM program helps organizations make better strategic data-driven decisions, enables and protects revenue streams, increases profitability through expense efficiencies, bolsters brand and reputation, drives operational improvements, and fulfills Duty of Care.

Categories for potential certification include keeping people safe, maintaining business continuity and operational uptime, optimizing supply chain and supply routes, advancing the interconnectivity, efficiency and safety of smart buildings and the internet of things (IoT), and safeguarding an organization’s brand and reputation through resilient and responsive IT systems in an increasingly virtual world.

Led by the Everbridge Professional Services team, the assessment of these categories leverages the culmination of over 500,000 hours of consultation to several thousands of the world’s largest companies and institutions, helping to keep people safe in over 1,500 municipalities, counties, cities, states and countries in every major region of the world including Europe, Asia, Oceania, the Middle East, Africa, and the Americas. Any organization (including non-Everbridge customers) can participate in the certification assessment process, which typically takes place over a three- to five-week period.

Becoming CEM Certified™ provides organizations with the following benefits:

Benchmark performance against industry peers, including areas of strength and opportunities for improvement
Improve resilience planning, budgeting and resource allocation
Drive strong return on investment through targeted initiatives
Demonstrate a commitment to enterprise resilience and duty of care, instilling trust among employees, partners, customers, and investors
Recruit and retain top talent
Formalize recognition at the organizational level for global leadership in enterprise resilience
Reward individual achievement via employee certifications on professional profiles
CEM Certification provides an organization’s employees, customers, and stakeholders with the confidence their company stands at the forefront of digital transformation and operates from a position of enterprise-wide resilience. Upon achieving Best in Enterprise Resilience™ status, a certification medallion signals to vendors, partners, and customers the validation of a decidedly ‘resilient’ organization.

Re-certified on an annual basis, the Best in Enterprise Resilience™ seal and blockchain-certified digital asset (similar to a non-fungible token – NFT), irrevocably and permanently secures this elite digital award in cyberspace. Legendary design firm Chermayeff & Geismar & Haviv, creators of many of the world’s most iconic and enduring brands, achieved the Best in Enterprise Resilience™ mark design through their rigorous process of symbol-making to capture the essence of Critical Event Management (CEM).

“We congratulate Discover, Goldman Sachs, NBCUniversal, Dow and Alexion, who demonstrated their commitment to meeting the highest standards of readiness and resilience,” said Dr. John Maeda, Chief Experience Officer at Everbridge. “Every company possesses unique operational details – a combination of technologies, physical locations, supply chains and, most importantly, people – all of which are in constant evolution. CEM Certification™ reinforces the strategic imperative to follow global best practices for enterprise resilience. We commend these companies on achieving Best in Enterprise Resilience™.

As per a recently-commissioned study conducted by Forrester Consulting to evaluate the total impact of implementing CEM best practices through automation based on analysis assuming a multi-billion dollar, multinational corporation looking at cash flow analysis (risk-adjusted estimates), the payback period of deploying CEM best practices stands at approximately three months. The study went on to state, “All of the interviewed executives told Forrester that Everbridge helped them maintain business operations and revenue during critical events.”

Extending patented mutation detection technology to address emerging COVID-19 variants of concern

SYDNEY-Wednesday 28 July 2021 [ AETOS Wire ]

(BUSINESS WIRE)-- SpeeDx Pty. Ltd., a developer of innovative molecular diagnostic solutions, have launched a new product line of research reagents to support reflex variant analysis for circulating SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern (VOC). The rapid development of PlexPrime® SARS-CoV-2 Genotyping* tests will support investigations and monitoring of the range of emerging and circulating SARS-CoV-2 VOC that have been linked to increased transmissibility, reduced vaccine efficacy, or other characteristics that may require specific public health actions.1

“Utilising our unique universal substrate approach, our rapid-response development team can easily respond to the complex and evolving situations arising from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic” said Elisa Mokany, SpeeDx Chief Technology Officer. “Our unique technology excels in mutation detection applications and can readily be applied to variants reported in the SARS-CoV-2 sequence databases.”

PlexPrime® SARS-CoV-2 Alpha/Beta/Gamma+* the first product in the portfolio, is a single well multiplex designed to detect mutations N501Y, S982A and E484K in the spike gene of SARS-CoV-2 found in B.1.1.7 (Alpha), B.1.351 (Beta), and P.1 (Gamma) VOC. A second multiplex for mutations related to the Delta VOC will be released shortly, and other mutations are currently under assessment. Compatible with standard qPCR instrumentation, the tests can reduce the manual process of preparing positive samples for sequence analysis by identifying samples of interest, focusing downstream activities, and ultimately reducing turn-around and hands-on time for laboratories.

• The company plans for Brazil to be its biggest operation by December 2021, through the inauguration of the largest vehicle reconditioning center ever built in Latin America.

• This commitment to Brazil involves creating +1,000 jobs in 2021, contributing to the economic reactivation of the country and strengthening the automotive sector.

• Kavak plans to reach 100,000 vehicles purchased and 50,000 vehicles sold in the Brazilian market by the end of 2022.

SÃO PAULO-Wednesday 28 July 2021 [ AETOS Wire ]

(BUSINESS WIRE) -- Kavak, the leading company in pre-owned cars in Latin America, announces the start of its operations in Brazil, with the announcement of a US$500 million investment, as part of its ambitious global expansion plan.

“Our business model is growing successfully, due to our ability to formalize the pre-owned car market through data and AI technology, which allows us to streamline the car buying and selling process; reduce the time required for reconditioning as well as the evaluation process for offering our different financing options, thereby managing to eradicate risks by eliminating third parties from the process and offering guarantees, in an industry beset by different types of fraud due to informality in its transactions", said Carlos García Ottati, founder and CEO of Kavak.

Kavak plans to hire more than 1,000 people in the next six months and will open the largest vehicle reconditioning center for Latin America in Sao Paulo. This will underpin plans to achieve 100,000 vehicles purchased and 50,000 vehicles sold in the Brazilian market by the end of 2022, as well as the purchase of over 200,000 units globally in the next 2 years of operations.

Kavak aims to revolutionize the access to automotive financing in Latin America, granting access to financial products to users who had been excluded for their different credit backgrounds, thanks to its data technology and AI. “Having access to a car automatically improves peoples’ personal and professional lives. That is why we are putting our best efforts into developing technology that allows financing products to reach as many people as possible so that everyone can buy the car of their dreams", said García Ottati.

Global expansion and accelerated growth

Under the global leadership of Carlos García Ottati, in August 2020 Kavak began operations in Argentina and, in October of that same year, reached the status of the first Mexican unicorn, obtaining a valuation of US$1,150 billion. However, just four months later, Kavak quadrupled its valuation to US$4 billion. The company has raised more than US$900 million in venture capital since its foundation in 2016, positioning itself as one of the most valuable startups in Latin America.

“The expansion in Brazil is the second step of an ambitious international expansion plan that will continue in the next 12 months in various Latin American countries and in other continents. Our vision is to be the largest automotive company in the world, and to achieve this goal we must help formalize a global market that shares similar problems, especially in emerging countries, places where we feel our products can democratize access to a pre-owned vehicle, through security and financial inclusion”, said García Ottati.

The Latin American startup announced that it will focus all its efforts on continuing to improve its customer experience and accelerate its conquest of more markets worldwide. “We must be able to rapidly scale our business model to its best version; only in this way will we be able to give fair access for more people to own a car, generating strong relationships so that they come back with us over and over”, said García Ottati.

About Kavak

Kavak started the revolution in the automotive market in 2016, by creating a platform based on the use of data and technology that buys, reconditions, and sells used cars over the internet or on company premises (hubs), with all the guarantees of safety and reliability as well as the best financing options. After four years of operation, Kavak became the first unicorn company in Mexico`s history and one of the most valuable startups in Latin America.

The new device will interact with the nerves responsible for constriction of brain arteries - a common complication after hemorrhagic stroke

GENEVA-Saturday 24 July 2021 [ AETOS Wire ]

(BUSINESS WIRE)-- The Wyss Center and Artiria Medical today announced a new partnership to accelerate the translation of a novel technology that has the potential to reduce deaths and improve quality of life for stroke patients. Artiria Medical, an early-stage medical device company focused on disruptive neurovascular products, has been developing the technology and is now joining forces with the Wyss Center, a non-profit organization dedicated to bringing state-of-the-art therapies to the patient. The team has received support from the Swiss Innovation Agency, Innosuisse, to test and validate the efficacy of the therapy preclinically, in preparation for human clinical studies.

Stroke is the third leading cause of disability worldwide with more than 80 million people living with long-term impairments as a result. Some strokes result in bleeding in the brain. Such hemorrhagic strokes can lead to severe cerebral vasospasm - an uncontrolled contraction of brain arteries - in the days that follow, depriving entire brain regions of blood with devastating consequences. Current treatments for cerebral vasospasm include drugs or angioplasty to stretch the arteries with a balloon, but both have complications, including the risk of additional bleeding.

The new technology developed by Artiria Medical aims to prevent arterial constriction following hemorrhagic stroke. Through a minimally invasive electroactive endovascular probe, it interacts with specific nerves from within the lower brain arteries to release arterial constriction across the entire brain.

Guillaume Petit-Pierre, CEO at Artiria Medical said: “There is currently no truly effective solution that can treat cerebral vasospasm following hemorrhagic stroke, yet we know this is a leading cause of disability and death. We believe our technology has the potential to bring a new standard of care to patients and dramatically improve quality of life after stroke. Now, with the Wyss Center as our partner, we aim to have the technology ready for human trials as fast as possible.”

The Wyss Center - Artiria Medical collaboration is building on an existing endovascular platform established by the startup. This next generation technology is centered around a biocompatible expandable system to help safely deliver electrical energy into the targeted arteries. Flexible thin-film electrodes are one of the core enabling technologies of the system and the combined teams’ expertise in electrode development will contribute to the ability of the device to precisely control the treatment.

“The Wyss Center is excited to partner with Artiria Medical and help advance this innovative stroke treatment technology. Collaborating with driven entrepreneurs like the Artiria team is key to our mission to translate neuroscience innovations into clinical solutions.” said Wyss Center CEO Mary Tolikas, PhD, MBA.

The Wyss Center partners with entrepreneurs to help accelerate their journey from bench to market by contributing resources, expertise and opportunities that influence the entrepreneurial process.

Innosuisse is the Swiss Innovation Agency. Its mission is to promote science-based innovation in the interest of the economy and society in Switzerland. The core of Innosuisse funding is the support of innovation projects: innovative organisations such as companies and start-ups that develop new services and products together with universities and research institutions.

DUBAI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES.-Wednesday 21 July 2021 [ AETOS Wire ]

(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Napier, provider of advanced anti-financial crime compliance solutions, has announced it has extended its global footprint by opening a new office at Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), the global financial centre and leading FinTech hub in the MEASA region.

Strategically located between East and West, DIFC is recognized as the leading financial center in the Middle East, Africa and South Asia (MEASA). Located in the recently inaugurated Innovation Hub, part of the Dubai Future District, Napier’s new UAE base puts the RegTech provider at the center of the region’s largest collection of financial services companies.

Salmaan Jaffery, Chief Business Development Officer at DIFC Authority, said: “The world’s leading financial and FinTech institutions are based at DIFC and we are delighted to welcome Napier into the fold. Our new Innovation Hub is the region’s largest and most comprehensive innovation ecosystem and provides FinTechs at all stages of their evolution with unparalleled access to a community of like-minded entrepreneurs, experts and technology innovators such as Napier.

“We want to connect a wide range of large and small financial institutions and technology companies and create strong partnerships that will drive global innovation in the financial sector.”

Napier already works on AI-led anti-financial crime solutions with many organizations across MEASA, including Saudi Arabian Monetary Agency, Central Bank of UAE and directly with DIFC. The RegTech has also made a number of key hires across support, sales, client and professional services that will be based in Dubai as it marks its further aspirations to continue to grow the region.

Greg Watson, Chief Operating Officer at Napier, said: “DIFC is recognized internationally as a leading global center for FinTech and building a presence here will enable us to better serve our clients operating both locally and in international markets. Innovations in technologies to improve financial compliance are a key part of the huge ambition that we see across the UAE as it strengthens its position as a modern global financial hub, so it’s very important for us to be here.”

Headquartered in London, Napier works with international customers and has a presence in North America, Australia and Dubai, while its foothold in APAC was also strengthened recently with key senior hires from the industry and the addition of new offices in Singapore and Kuala Lampur.
