Seasoned executive’s deep operational experience and technology knowledge to advance company’s mission of growth and transformation at an accelerated pace
ATLANTA, July 16, 2020 — Lemongrass Consulting, a leading professional and managed service provider of SAP enterprise applications running on Amazon Web Services (AWS), today announced the addition of David Northington, former CEO of Cloud Sherpas, to its Board of Directors.
Northington has a proven track record of success at high-growth, venture-backed technology firms. He was the COO of Adjoined Consulting, a management consulting and technology services firm, which was acquired first by Kanbay and subsequently by Capgemini in 2007 and later the CEO of Cloud Sherpas, a cloud consultancy acquired by Accenture in 2015. Currently, he is on the Board of ModuleQ, an AI solutions firm, OSF Digital, a leading Global Platinum Salesforce Digital Commerce Partner, and is the Chairman of the Board for Rising Tide Digital, a holding company established by Columbia Capital, a venture capital firm, to invest in disruptive supply chain technologies. David also served on the board of Contino prior to their recent acquisition by Cognizant.
“I am very excited to be working with Lemongrass. Where they are in their evolution is very much inside what I consider my ‘sweet spot”,” said Northington. “I am looking forward to working with them to address the challenges of scaling the company globally while maintaining momentum, exceeding customer expectations and continuing to deliver innovation ahead of the market.”
Lemongrass works with leading enterprises across multiple verticals in the Americas, EMEA and APAC. The company has been working with AWS since 2010, is a Premier APN Consulting Partner, and was the second company globally to achieve the SAP on AWS capability. They were recently awarded the coveted AWS Migration Competency award, in addition to the AWS Managed Services Competency award, in recognition of the thousands of SAP systems that they have migrated with a 100% success rate.
“David is an inspirational executive and a tremendous addition to our Board,” said Mike Rosenbloom, CEO of Lemongrass. “His strong operational experience and technology knowledge will provide fresh insights to our business priorities as we continue to transform at an accelerated pace.”
Earlier this year, Lemongrass announced it had completed a $10 million Series C round of financing. Blue Lagoon Capital led the investment round with participation from existing investor Columbia Capital. The investment has enabled the company to build out its senior leadership team, broaden and accelerate product development, and expand its sales and marketing efforts.

OpenRAN is Set to Enable Connectivity and Bridge the Digital Divide
NASHUA, New Hampshire, July 16, 2020 — Parallel Wireless, Inc., the leading U.S.-based OpenRAN company delivering the world’s first software-defined end-to-end 5G 4G 3G 2G Open RAN solutions, today announced that, in partnership with i engineering Group, they have been selected by Orange within an overall multi-country program to extend the current coverage and to expand their current 700,000 subscriber base across the Central African Republic as the first deployment. In Africa, Orange is implementing a program called IDEAL: Include Digital in Every African Life. This program aims to provide digital services to their customers who do not have any connectivity today.
Orange, one of the largest operators of mobile and internet services in Europe and Africa and a global leader in corporate telecommunication services, is the most recent company to join the Central African Republic telecom market, which is comprised of four operators. Central African Republic is a digitally divided country with only 48% unique mobile connections and limited network infrastructure. Traditional 2G, 3G or 4G networks require expensive and bulky equipment to deploy and operate. These hardware-based networks are difficult and pricey to upgrade.
Parallel Wireless enables a shift to open, software-based, and virtualized OpenRAN network architectures to deliver scalable 2G, 3G, 4G and 5G software-based networks. These are cost-effective to deploy, maintain and can deliver the coverage and capacity to the end users and businesses across the country. The Parallel Wireless OpenRAN has shown a very strong performance, quality of service and cost benefits on six continents with:
The most mature OpenRAN ecosystem of radio hardware that is software upgradable to any G and can support any 3GPP compliant RAN splits.
COTS-based vBBU to deliver scalable capacity for differentiated voice and data.
GLOMO award winning OpenRAN Controller software to lower the cost of RAN through simplification, automation via real-time SON, and full virtualization of networks. It also provides seamless mobility, local breakout, and low latency for the best subscriber experience for 2G voice and 3G/4G data. The software enables OpenRAN architecture and DU/CU split by using standards-based and open interfaces between network components. It also simplifies network management and integration of new RAN products into the core of the network.
Orange’s strategic goal is to build and grow wireless networks across Africa, and to provide next-generation digital services to its customers in the region. Working in partnership with Parallel Wireless and i engineering Group, Orange will meet that goal by:
Building a world-class, cloud-based, 5G-ready Open RAN network based on Parallel Wireless high-performance, distributed architecture;
Improving service agility and reducing operational costs across geographically distributed sites, with the introduction of RAN automation;
Utilizing i engineering Group expertise in building and managing cell sites.
Supporting quotes
Hervé Suquet, CTIO, Orange Middle East & Africa, said: “Through our IDEAL program (Include Digital in Every African Life), at Orange, we provide reliable connectivity to our customers, backed by our innovative infrastructure. The combination of RAN openness and virtualization, automation and new revenue-generating opportunities will enable Orange to lead the market to meet the needs of our customers most effectively in Central African Republic. Indeed, thanks to this technology, Orange RCA will provide to rural populations the full range of services (voice, data and Orange Money), already provided in urban areas. Being able to run 2G and 3G on the same system today and, as our customers upgrade their devices to 4G in the future, seamlessly upgrade to 4G will help us not only extend our initial investment, but also bring new services much faster. Parallel Wireless is a well-known Open RAN player, and together with the deployment and managed services expertise from i engineering Group, they have become true strategic partners and the key enablers in us undertaking this unique network modernization.”
Kadri Hakim, Co-CEO, i engineering Group, said, “Innovation is a very important aspect for our business moving forward as we aim to develop innovative solutions for our customers. The focus of our cooperation with Parallel Wireless is to help to deliver on Orange’s vision of connecting businesses and people by using Parallel Wireless’s leading OpenRAN technology to allow everyone to enjoy wireless connectivity while future-proofing network investments for any forthcoming services.”
Bernard Lamy, Sales Director, Parallel Wireless, said, “Implementing our world’s leading Open RAN platform will allow Orange to enable new subscriber services to be deployed quickly, seamlessly and more reliably.”

HP Amplify™ arms partners with the capabilities and insights required to drive growth in the customer-driven digital age
News highlights:
Delivers simplified and easy-to-navigate global[1] structure with two distinct tracks
Rewards partners for value-added services, collaboration and capabilities
Accelerates digital transformation with insights-driven data and collaboration tools
SINGAPORE, July 16, 2020 — Today, HP Inc. unveiled HP Amplify, a first-of-its kind global[1]channel partner program optimized to drive dynamic partner growth and deliver consistent end customer experiences. Built on a single, integrated structure, HP Amplify provides the insights, capabilities and collaboration tools needed to drive growth as digital transformation and customer purchasing behaviors continue to evolve. The new program goes into effect November 1, 2020 for commercial partners with retail partners slated to transition in the second half of 2021.
HP Introduces Powerful New Global Partner Program
By consolidating HP’s best partner products, tools and trainings into one intuitive program, HP Amplify removes complexity, making it easier for partners to take advantage of its many benefits and engage customers on a deeper level. Now comprised of just two distinct tracks – Synergy and Power – with clear compensation levels, HP Amplify provides partners with the flexibility to invest in value-added services and capabilities. The more a partner invests in these capabilities, the higher the rewards.
“Today’s buyer expects streamlined, automated and personalized experiences. To thrive in this changing environment – with data as the new currency – requires a combined shift to relate to our customers as individuals, not markets,” said Ng Tian Chong, Managing Director, Greater Asia, HP Inc. “HP Amplify not only makes it easier for partners to do business with HP – it provides partners with a clear path to ready their business and succeed in today’s environment and beyond – to capitalize on emerging trends and play a central role in the evolving customer buying journey.”
Experiences at the Speed of Digital
Customers have dramatically altered how they research and buy technology and how they engage with brands, buying more products and services through digital channels, such as e-commerce, partner portals and marketplaces. At the same time, technology and digital transformation are advancing at an astounding pace while business models are shifting from simple transactions focused on selling products to contractual relationships.
For the IT industry overall, and the channel specifically, it means business as usual is no longer an option. With the introduction of HP Amplify, HP is taking decisive actions to capitalize on these shifts, arming partners for future growth and to deliver a more satisfying customer experience.
“HP and its partners have an enormous and exciting opportunity to reinvent the way we do business and our route-to-market,” said David Tan, Head of Channel, Omni and Supplies Sales, Greater Asia, HP Inc. “Yet addressing these opportunities requires overcoming system inadequacies, legacy habits and embracing new business models. We’re making this leap together, embracing and investing in important changes to our ecosystem and our shared capabilities.”
Performance, Capabilities & Collaboration [2]
Designed to enable progressive go-to-market strategies that cater to a combination of transactional, contractual and hybrid selling models, HP Amplify focuses on three core pillars: performance, capabilities and collaboration.
Performance
As the traditional sales model has been upended, so too has the traditional channel compensation model. While the new program will continue to reward partners based on goals and volume, HP Amplify features an innovative measurement and reward system that accounts for the many strategic efforts partners employ throughout the holistic sales process, from registration volume to average sales value and account retention.
Capabilities
Beyond sales revenue alone, HP Amplify measures rewards based on new capabilities, including investing in and improving digital skills, service delivery capabilities, e-commerce/omnichannel experiences and secure data collaboration.
Capabilities will be specialized and tailored to the sectors customers operate within, creating more personalized experiences and driving invaluable outcomes. HP Amplify rewards partners who invest in the capabilities to compete – and win – in a world dominated by e-commerce and digital-led customer journeys and experiences. The more capabilities around secure data collection, routes to market, services and specializations, the more access and benefits partners will receive.
Collaboration
Collaboration between HP and its partners is critical to our shared success. HP Amplify is designed to turn data analytics into deeper insights that inspire new strategies and steer innovation. HP will collaborate closely with partners to hone their digital skills, such as automated quotes and ordering, to provide a more consistent customer experience across multiple channels and equip partners with valuable research on the most important pain points in the customer journey.
Armed with this added opt-in customer intelligence[3], partners will have more of a competitive edge, with the intrinsic ability to anticipate and enable more positive customer outcomes. As a result, partners will be able to serve customers more seamlessly through automated inventory updates, product returns and holistic data intelligence. These experiences will continue to build upon the long-standing bonds between customers, partners and HP.
“For almost 40 years of serving the IT needs of SMBs and large scale enterprises, we continue to see the evolution of business model and customer buying preferences. In the new digital economy, customers go beyond transactional relationships. In addition, customers of today look for Partners that can deliver the best customer experience. With HP Amplify, this new partner program allows partners to build and share customer insights around it. This new partner platform enables HP and Partners to drive and deliver value-added solutions that revolves around customer experience,” said Rudolph Ng, CEO, Phil-Data Business Systems, Inc. Phil-Data is currently a Platinum Partner of HP and has been an HP partner for over 28 years.
HP Amplify Impact
HP’s dedication to sustainable impact through technology that makes life better for everyone, everywhere has long been integral to its business strategy and operations. Together, HP and its partners can make a lasting difference by acting in lockstep to further fuel innovation and growth in these areas.
For this reason, as an extension of the company’s new global program, HP is introducing HP Amplify Impact, inviting all partners to join HP its pledge to address:
Planet: Working toward a circular, low-carbon economy
People: Respecting human rights, enable people across the value chain to thrive; and cultivate a diverse and inclusive culture
Community: Unlocking educational and economic opportunity while improving the vitality and resilience of local communities
For partners who choose to join this opt-in pledge, HP will provide training and support, and help identify potential gaps in the goals partners wish to set and provide guidance on how to achieve those goals. HP will provide more details closer to the launch of HP Amplify on November 1, 2020.

The Gastech Virtual Summit 2020 is being held in place of the Gastech exhibition and conference, scheduled to take place in Singapore, in September. dmg events and the Gastech Governing Body, in consultation with Enterprise Singapore and the Singapore Tourism Board collectively took the decision to postpone that event, to next year, due to concerns around the global pandemic, accessibility and the wellbeing of speakers, delegates, exhibitors and visitors.
