Dataminr Acquires WatchKeeper, A Real-time Data Geovisualization Platform for Corporate Enterprises

Leave a comment

The company will integrate WatchKeeper’s platform into Dataminr Pulse for Corporate Enterprises to further accelerate the growth of its corporate business line, which has doubled in revenue growth 3 years in a row

NEW YORK, July 7, 2021 — Dataminr, the leading real-time information discovery platform, today announced the acquisition of WatchKeeper, an innovative real-time data geovisualization platform for corporate enterprises. WatchKeeper’s platform will provide seamless navigation through layers of internal company data and external contextual data in a single pane-of-glass interface alongside Dataminr alerts.

Combining Dataminr’s real-time alerts with WatchKeeper’s geo-visualized data layers will provide customers with broader context around real-time events that adversely impact their organization and disrupt their business operations. With hundreds of corporate enterprises across dozens of commercial industries relying on Dataminr Pulse, the integration of WatchKeeper’s platform will enhance the ability of corporate enterprises to assess and respond to events in real time.

"Dataminr’s real-time event and information discovery platform has revolutionized the way corporations learn about events and risks that impact their businesses," said Dataminr Founder and CEO Ted Bailey. "By integrating WatchKeeper’s advanced geovisualization platform into Dataminr Pulse, our alerts will be even more deeply integrated into the crisis management workflows of corporations, enabling broader contextualization, deeper analysis, and faster action."

WatchKeeper, a UK-based technology start-up founded in 2018, has quickly established itself among leading corporate enterprises as the most innovative and intuitive geovisualization platform for physical security and crisis management. With WatchKeeper integrated into Dataminr Pulse, corporations will be able to determine when events are occurring near their personnel, facilities, assets, and supply chain—and seamlessly visualize their global footprint of static and moving assets to better assess the full scope of potential business disruptions. WatchKeeper’s advanced geovisualization platform will also enable rapid navigation through diverse real-time data layers of contextual data, ranging from live weather data and traffic data to internal company security camera feeds and IoT sensor signals.

"The combination of Dataminr’s unparalleled real-time event and information discovery capabilities with our data geovisualization platform is the next big step in the evolution of physical security and crisis management for global corporate enterprises," said WatchKeeper’s Founder and CEO, Hugh Farquhar, who spent 10 years in corporate security and crisis management at Citigroup before founding the company. "During my time inside one of the world’s largest global corporations, I experienced firsthand the transformative power of seamlessly geo-visualizing high-impact events alongside internal company data. With our integration into Dataminr Pulse, enterprises will not only now know about global and hyper local events in real time, but also have a unified situational awareness platform that enables their teams to holistically respond to those events far more effectively."

The new, integrated version of Dataminr Pulse will be available to corporate customers through an early access program later this year, with wider availability planned for early 2022. Relied on by over half of the Fortune 50, Dataminr Pulse has established a wide footprint across many commercial sectors including technology; finance; retail; food and beverage; transportation and logistics; energy; telecom; healthcare; automotive; insurance; and pharma.

The acquisition of WatchKeeper comes on the heels of Dataminr’s $475M growth capital financing in April 2021 which valued the company at $4.1B. The recent infusion of capital is part of Dataminr’s strategy to further accelerate the growth of the company’s corporate business line, which has doubled in revenue growth three years in a row as customers have expanded use of Dataminr’s platform across physical safety and security, reputation risk and crisis management, business intelligence, and cyber threat detection.

The acquisition and integration of WatchKeeper in Dataminr Pulse will further fuel global corporate client growth, while also enabling the company to address an ever-expanding set of corporate use cases. "We have only scratched the surface of potential use cases for Dataminr’s platform, a horizontal capability that will power numerous future applications across the corporate enterprise. WatchKeeper’s advanced geovisualization platform will accelerate our efforts to unlock even more corporate use cases for global corporate enterprises over the years to come," said Bailey.

CGTN: China officially in a ‘Xiaokang society’ as CPC celebrates centenary

Leave a comment

BEIJING, July 3, 2021 — At a grand ceremony to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China (CPC) on Thursday, Beijing officially announced that it has completed its goal of building a moderately prosperous society in all respects.

 

That marks the culmination of the Chinese people’s 2,500-year journey to pursue ‘Xiaokang’ – a peaceful and happy life – through 100 years of diligent endeavors by the CPC as well as over four decades of relentless government work and Chinese ingenuity.

"We have realized the first centenary goal of building a moderately prosperous society in all respects," General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee Xi Jinping said at the grand gathering.

Loud cheers from the crowd in the Tian’anmen Square encapsulated the pride and exhilaration of the entire Chinese nation in reaching the hard-fought achievement.

What does a ‘Xiaokang society’ mean in a country of 1.4 billion people?

Rooted in China’s traditional culture, "Xiaokang" is used by the CPC to describe the development goals towards which the country has been striving. Its most widely used form – "an all-around Xiaokang society" – captures the broader goals of modernization and elimination of poverty.

The concept features an "income-doubling plan," aimed at doubling the GDP and per capita income of both urban and rural residents by 2020 in comparison with 2010 levels.

China, a relatively poor country just decades ago, has become the world’s second largest economy with a gross domestic product (GDP) exceeding 100 trillion yuan (about $15 trillion). Its per capita GDP has reached over $10,000, 10 times higher than in 2000 – making China one of the top middle-income countries.

The country declared victory in eradicating absolute poverty nationwide at the end of 2020, and both urban and rural residents have seen their incomes grow rapidly.

In 2020, the per capita disposable income reached 32,189 yuan ($4,665). The Engel coefficient dropped to 30.2 percent in 2020, from 60 percent a few decades earlier, indicating the country’s rising standards of living.

By the end of 2020, 1.36 billion people – 95 percent of the population – had basic medical insurance. Meanwhile, 999 million people – over 90 percent of the population – were covered by the pension system.

And the "moderately prosperous" ambition has gone further than meeting people’s basic needs. As Xi put it on Thursday, "since the very day of its founding, the Party has made seeking happiness for the Chinese people and rejuvenation for the Chinese nation its aspiration and mission."

China’s seventh national census in 2020 showed that people’s level of education had steadily increased, while China’s cultural industry has seen rapid growth. In 2019, it accounted for 4.5 percent of GDP, up nearly 1.7 percentage points from 2010.

In terms of resources and the environment, the proportion of clean energy has increased rapidly. In 2020, clean energy accounted for 24.3 percent of China’s total energy consumption.

As China embarks on a new journey toward socialist modernization, Xi vowed that the CPC will continue to practice a people-centered philosophy of development, address the people’s concerns and promote common prosperity for all. 

"On the journey ahead, we must rely closely on the people to create history," he said on Thursday.

Pandemic fight, economy among China topics of interest in survey

Leave a comment

BEIJING, July 2, 2021 — A report from chinadaily.com.cn:

An online survey which began in February by China Daily and its global media outlets found that China’s anti-pandemic experience and economic development were the top topics global netizens are most interested in.

A collaborative video project invited foreign reporters to ask questions. China Daily reporters asked top experts to give their answers in a video series.
A collaborative video project invited foreign reporters to ask questions. China Daily reporters asked top experts to give their answers in a video series.

The survey serves as a barometer of how people worldwide view China. It asked them to choose the China-related topics they are most interested in.

The participating overseas media organizations, including Russia’s Sputnik News Agency, Belarus’s Telegraph Agency, Kazakhstan’s DKN World News and Mongolia’s Montsame News Agency, published the questionnaire online to collect responses from their readers.

In the survey, 21.6 percent of the respondents said China’s battle against COVID-19 was the topic they were most interested in, followed by China’s economic development (20.7 percent), poverty alleviation (18.4 percent), foreign policy and foreign affairs (16.8 percent).

As this year marks the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, how the CPC works was also another topic of interest. According to the survey, many readers want to know more about the Party’s vision and management.

Other topics on the questionnaire included science, culture and education, and infrastructure construction.

Apart from the online questionnaire, global media organizations also submitted written statements, which indicated the media industry has areas of interest in common.

Kamila Sagyntkan from Business Kazakhstan and the DKNews Agency said China’s success in combating the COVID-19 pandemic has offered practical ways to respond to the health emergency.

Ibrahim Kamal Malas, editor for Abu Dhab’s Al-Ain News, described China as the engine of the world’s industry. "With its embrace of emerging new technology, from hydrogen fuel cars to bio-technology and medical engineering, China gained the confidence of the world after it was able to control the COVID-19 in a record time."

The global media community is also closely watching China’s economic development and poverty alleviation.

Victoria Polikarpova from Russia’s Sputnik News Agency expected China to finance plans to deepen economic reforms, with a focus on research.

Nithini Yuthara, from the Sri Lanka online news portal Sri Lanka Mirror, acknowledged China’s importance in trade as China has heavily invested in development projects under the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, which could enhance Sri Lanka’s connectivity to Central Asia.

Aliza Anees from Pakistan’s Dawn.com said he was impressed by the significant progress China has made in poverty reduction over the past 40 years and expressed his hope that his country can learn from China’s experience.

A collaborative video project invited foreign reporters to ask questions. China Daily reporters in Beijing asked top experts to give their answers in a video series, which are available for viewing on the China Daily website and app.

CPC centenary: Drawing strength from a glorious history

Leave a comment

BEIJING, July 2, 2021 — A news report by China.org.cn on the CPC centenary:

 

On July 1, a grand gathering was held in Beijing to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China (CPC).

Over the past century, the CPC has grown from just a few dozen members to the largest political party in the world, profoundly transforming China and influencing the world.

Back in 1916, Li Dazhao, who had just returned from Waseda University in Japan, felt lost at a crossroads.

At that time, the Chinese people had suffered for more than half a century due to the decadence of Qing Dynasty’s imperial rule and foreign aggression. From the Hundred Days of Reform in 1898 to the 1911 Revolution, countless experiments failed to bring China the national independence and modernization it desired. In 1917, the October Revolution was launched in Russia, offering hope to Li Dazhao and other revolutionaries.

With preparations in place, the CPC was founded in July 1921. The new proletarian party then led the Chinese people to establish the People’s Republic of China 28 years later, completely ending the Chinese nation’s "century of humiliation."

Fast forward to the summer of 1977.

Hu Fuming, a teacher at Nanjing University, brought some classic works of Marxism and Leninism with him when he accompanied his sick wife in the hospital. There, he finished writing the outline of an article titled "Practice is the Sole Criterion for Testing Truth," which was published in May 1978. With the support of Chinese Communist leader Deng Xiaoping, the editorial gave rise to heated discussions on the standards for judging truth.

After then, the CPC re-established the guiding principles of "emancipating the mind and seeking truth from facts," and made the decision to pursue reform and opening up, thus helping China embark on a journey of rapid development and deep integration with the world.

By the end of 2020, China, home to one-fifth of the world’s population, completely eliminated extreme poverty thanks to targeted poverty alleviation strategies, making a significant contribution to global poverty reduction. The dedication of countless Party members and officials in the fight against poverty has shown that the CPC has always been committed to its original aspiration of serving the people over the past century.

Under the CPC’s leadership, China has created one miracle after another, from being bullied to becoming the world’s second largest economy, growing from scratch to become a smart manufacturing powerhouse, from having little say on the international stage to being an important promoter of world peace and development. Going forward, it is believed that the CPC will continue to remain true to its original aspiration, keep the mission well in mind, and lead the people of all ethnic groups across the country on a new journey to achieve the dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

China Matters reveals the effort of a Chinese village in preventing falling back into poverty

Leave a comment

BEIJING, July 2, 2021 — 2020 was undoubtedly the year of Covid-19 but in the same year, it is also the year of China’s eradication of absolute poverty in rural areas. And key to this has been China’s formula to focus on a collective effort where the urban and rural areas work together to achieve shared prosperity.

 

jwplayer.key=”3Fznr2BGJZtpwZmA+81lm048ks6+0NjLXyDdsO2YkfE=”
 

jwplayer(‘myplayer1’).setup({file: ‘https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lh-Ikbaw0w8’, image: ‘http://www.prnasia.com/video_capture/3431650_AE31650_1.jpg’, autostart:’false’, aspectratio: ’16:9′, stretching : ‘fill’, width: ‘600’, height: ‘338’});

 

But could rural areas fall back into poverty? Do people still need to be supported from here and onwards? And how do you prevent people from falling back into poverty? China’s answer is ‘rural revitalization’. China Matters reveals the effort of a Chinese village in preventing falling back into poverty.

A year on, in 2021, as part of this strategy, rural areas like Sanjianxi village in Shandong province’s capital of Jinan, are kicking on and not looking back. Sanjianxi is now looking to tap into its own resources to further develop. It is aiming to become self-reliant by developing its own local tourism sites, creating its own industrial business zone and putting together sustainable agriculture that’s greener.

But how do you bring all these aspects together to make it work? And how do these benefit the village? British host Josh Arslan from China Matters goes to find out. He speaks to one lady who is behind Sanjianxi’s transformation as well as the lives of many in the village. And more importantly, Josh asks if this is a ‘pilot project’ whereby if successful, which can be replicated across other rural areas in China? And whether it could go as long as in narrowing the country’s longstanding rural-urban gap to bring up the living standards of rural residents to the level of their urban counterparts?

The People’s Aspiration for a Better Life is the CPC’s Goal

Leave a comment

BEIJING, July 1, 2021 — A news report by China.org.cn on CPC centenary:

Why The Red Star Shines Over China? In September 2015, President Xi visited the United States and delivered a speech in Seattle, Washington State. He said that one thing he wished most over 40 years ago was to make it possible for the villagers to have meat and have it often. He has always been committed to making tens of millions of rural residents living in poverty earn a better life. Now, his wish decades ago has come true.

 

"The people’s aspiration for a better life is our goal."

On Nov. 15, 2012, Xi Jinping, the newly elected General Secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, made such a commitment to the Chinese people at a press conference. 

General Secretary Xi was once an educated youth in Liangjiahe village in Yan’an of Shaanxi Province. During those years, he witnessed and experienced the hard life there, which made him understand people’s needs. 

The poverty in China’s rural areas at that time has left a deep impression on Xi. 

In September 2015, President Xi visited the United States and delivered a speech in Seattle, Washington State. He said that one thing he wished most over 40 years ago was to make it possible for the villagers to have meat and have it often. 

Over the past 40-plus years, he has worked in the government at all levels, and has always put poverty alleviation at the top of his work agenda and devoted much of his energy to it.

He has always been committed to making tens of millions of rural residents living in poverty earn a better life.

Now, his wish decades ago has come true.

On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the CPC, China has made a historic achievement in poverty alleviation. The 98.99 million rural people living below the current poverty threshold have shaken off poverty; all the 832 poor counties and 128,000 impoverished villages have been lifted out of poverty. China has eliminated poverty over entire regions and eradicated extreme poverty. 

With the continuous efforts of the CPC and the Chinese people, China has realized the goal of building a moderately prosperous society in all respects.

It is an important milestone of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. 

Besides, the CPC also set a centenary goal of developing China into a modern socialist country.

Mao Zedong was the first person to set the centenary vision since the founding of the new China. 

Deng Xiaoping put forward the strategic plan of developing China into a prosperous, strong, democratic, and culturally advanced modern socialist country by the middle of the 21st century. 

In his report to the 19th National Congress of the CPC, Xi Jinping proposed that from 2035 to the middle of the 21st century, we will, building on having basically achieved modernization, work hard for a further 15 years and develop China into a great modern socialist country that is prosperous, strong, democratic, culturally advanced, harmonious, and beautiful.

By then, the following goals will have been met: new heights are reached in every dimension of material, political, cultural and ethical, social, and ecological advancement; modernization of China’s system and capacity for governance is achieved; China has become a global leader in terms of composite national strength and international influence; common prosperity for everyone is basically achieved; the Chinese people enjoy happier, safer, and healthier lives.

For the CPC, achieving national rejuvenation is like a relay race, in which the baton is passed on from generation to generation.

Xi once said that the baton is right in our hands, and we need to shoulder our responsibilities and be loyal to the Party, the country and the people. We should contribute our wisdom and strength and be committed to making new achievements worthy of the times, history and the people with our best efforts.

The year 2021 marks the 100th anniversary of the founding of the CPC and also the starting year of the "14th five-year plan." The CPC will lead the people to embark on a new journey of building a modern socialist country in an all-round way and strive for achieving the second centenary goal. 

The Chinese people are highly determined to carry forward this undertaking with confidence, diligence and perseverance.

Acquisition expands Mobileum’s deep network analytics and customer intelligence portfolio for 5G and next generation networks

CUPERTINO, Calif., June 29, 2021 — Mobileum Inc. ("Mobileum"), a leading global provider of analytics solutions for roaming and network services, security, risk management, and testing and monitoring solutions, is pleased to announce that it has acquired Niometrics, a provider of deep network analytics. The acquisition expands Mobileum’s actionable analytics platform with customer discovery, engagement, and experience capabilities, enabling Communications Service Providers ("CSPs") to identify new revenue streams and to improve customer experience across the entire customer lifecycle.

Mobileum’s Active Intelligence platform is a leading telecom-focused analytics technology that supports roaming, network services, security, risk management, and testing.

The acquisition of Niometrics will enrich Mobileum’s existing solutions with deep network analytics and applied Machine Learning, while expanding its portfolio with customer intelligence solutions. Mobileum’s expanded platform will provide deeper network insights, a 360-degree customer view, and enhanced data privacy control, to accelerate growth and improve customer retention. The two companies have already won contracts together and have experience integrating their products to solve high-impact customer use cases.

"The addition of Niometrics to Mobileum’s portfolio further reinforces our strategy to provide telecom operators an end-to-end analytics engine that not only strengthens their network and interconnection and assures their business, but that also provides them with the network intelligence required to grow revenues and improve customer experience as they rollout 5G and evolve their business. Niometrics’ proven technology and respected team of industry experts make this acquisition a perfect fit to accelerate Mobileum’s growth strategy," commented Bobby Srinivasan, CEO of Mobileum.

"Communications service providers have unrivaled direct access to customer preferences, data consumption and loyalty trends. With the analytical horsepower to leverage these data points, CSPs can now take these insights to segment their marketing and sales, personalize end-user engagement, build new digital partnerships, and monetize data – while coping with all the privacy and data protections in place. By combining our product portfolios, we will be able to provide CSPs unique insights at every customer touchpoint and make sure that they are able to consistently exceed customer experience and service performance expectations," commented Kostas Anagnostakis, CEO of Niometrics.

The Niometrics’ Deep Network Analytics platform ("DNA"), which includes real-time data analytics, advanced AI and machine learning algorithms, and Deep Packet Inspection ("DPI") capabilities, will now become part of Mobileum’s Active Intelligence platform. Active Intelligence will provide the critical insights that carriers need for network operations, roaming, business assurance, testing, service assurance and customer engagement.

Based in Singapore, Niometrics’ 150+ employees will join Mobileum, strengthening Mobileum’s global team of more than 1,800 employees, and growing its engineering hub in Asia. This acquisition will further expand the capacity to serve Mobileum’s more than 900 telecom customers. After closing this acquisition, 9 out of 10 telecom operators will rely on Mobileum solutions.
