Avature Announces Integration With WeChat Work, Boosting Its Efforts in China


DUBLIN and NEW YORK, Sept. 9, 2020 — Avature, a leading enterprise SaaS platform for talent acquisition and talent management, has announced an integration with WeChat Work, Tencent’s enterprise-level office management platform that combines the traditional WeChat ecosystem with specific functions to manage communications within companies, improve internal stakeholder efficiency and boost business relations.

By integrating with one of the biggest tech companies in China, Avature continues to deepen its efforts and focus in the region, where it’s already serving leading clients like L’Oréal, Bayer and Shell and, WeChat Work has supported more than 220 million people during the pandemic not only making it one of the market leaders but spearheading China’s digital revolution in the workplace.

Thanks to the new partnership, Avature now offers single sign-on with WeChat Work, so users can seamlessly log into its portals directly from WeChat Work Station, without the need to enter credentials again.

The integration arrives amid a turning point in the region’s business landscape.

Infortrend Has Introduced an Excellent Scale-out NAS Surveillance Solution for Large-scale Video Archiving

TAIPEI, Sept. 8, 2020 — Infortrend® Technology, Inc. (TWSE: 2495), the industry-leading enterprise storage provider, has introduced an excellent EonStor CS scale-out NAS solution for large-scale surveillance video archiving from more than 1000 IP-cameras.

EonStor CS is a highly scalable solution with both scale-out and scale-up expandability to provide large capacity and high availability for continuous services. Capacity can be scaled to 100+ PB for archiving large surveillance data volumes. To get the complete sophisticated surveillance solution with high-quality video recording and archiving, CS can be integrated with such major VMS providers as Milestone, Genetec, and Digifort.

CS 2000 is suited for video surveillance projects with 1000+ IP-cameras with video resolution 3MP or higher and requirement of at least 90 days video retention period. While Tier 1 storage devices feature high performance for real-time data writes, they lack capacity scalability options for large-scale archiving. Contrarily, with excellent capacity scalability, CS 2000 works perfectly as a Tier 2 storage for archiving videos that were initially written to a local server. All recordings from numerous sites are stored and accessed under a single namespace to eliminate data isolation, thus, easing management burden for IT-administrator.

CS 2000 comes in 4U 60-bay high-density form factor offering high capacity and saving rack space. Data is completely protected within one node and across nodes via RAID and erasure code. To optimize capacity utilization and save costs, Infortrend’s exclusive distributed mode can be configured. For critical footage, erasure code policy is recommended.

"With EonStor CS 2000 cluster, you can rest assured that all surveillance videos are safely archived under a single namespace. IT-administrators can access them for analysis any time through a server, which is very convenient," said Frank Lee, Senior Director of Product Planning.

RevBits announces issuance of U.S. patent for unique product security architecture using zero-knowledge encryption

Provides Maximum Data Protection in Browsers and Dashboards

MINEOLA, New York, Sept. 8, 2020 — Cybersecurity software provider RevBits today has announced that the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has issued U.S. Patent No.US10579542B2 covering technology which provides the security of zero-knowledge encryption for data in transit and at rest, while providing the ease and efficiency of implementation of encryption within the user’s browser.


"As part of our ongoing commitment to provide our customers with the most advanced cybersecurity software solutions to protect their most valuable assets, we are continuously investing to improve the internal security of our solutions," said David Schiffer, CEO. "As our PAM solution manages access for all privileged accounts in a company, it is extremely important  to be well protected against attempts to intercept and potentially abuse its data. The technology covered in this new patent allows us to take this protection to a new level." 

"Using a combination of different encryption and decryption algorithms and keys we make sure that any critical data which is exchanged between browsers and servers is fully protected at all times," said Mucteba Celik, CTO. "All data at transit is double encrypted and data at rest stays in an encrypted state at any time, hence the zero-knowledge encryption. As a result any hostile attempt to access data stored at the servers will fail."

RevBits provides cybersecurity software for privileged access management, endpoint protection, email security and deception technology.  Implementation of this patented architecture in the dashboards of their solutions provides RevBits’ customers with yet another important security feature that up to now was not available in the market.

About RevBits
Established in 2018, RevBits is an innovative cybersecurity company that is dedicated to provide their customers with superior protection based on expert knowledge. RevBits is headquartered in Mineola, NY with offices in Princeton, NJ, Boston, MA and Antwerp (Belgium). For more information on RevBits please visit www.revbits.com

Huawei CloudEngine Data Center Switches Named a Leader by Independent Research Firm

SHENZHEN, China, Sept. 4, 2020 — Huawei announced today that, in The Forrester Wave: Open, Programmable Switches For A Businesswide SDN, Q3 2020 report, their CloudEngine data center switches were recognized as a leader by Forrester. These switches achieved the highest score in current offering as well as full marks in all of the following seven criteria — hardware support, switch hardware and OS strategy, automation and programmability strategy, evolution training, open networking, engineers, and partners. Huawei believe this fully reflects the leading position of its products and services.

"Firms need the flexibility to distribute applications and data across private cloud, public cloud, and edge compute areas….A single, businesswide switching fabric will become the de facto architecture." These are future trends recognized in the Forrester Wave™ report. This also means that there is still a large gap between many enterprises as they are still using networks that lack flexibility and agility.

According to the report, "With a large number of engineers and support staff, [Huawei] has been working on new ASICs and advanced monitoring solutions to develop an autonomous driving network, in conjunction with ensuring that the switching platform and operating system support a wide range of tools, hypervisors, and cloud platforms. Reference customers told Forrester that Huawei provides a lot of support deployment and guidance on what the organization should be doing. Firms looking for a vendor with wide global reach and leaning on a deep product portfolio rather than developing their configuration tools should put Huawei on their shortlists."

The Forrester report also fully affirmed that, "Huawei has one of the largest data networking portfolios across enterprise networking vendors and retains the largest networking market share in China, with a strong presence in Africa, Asia, Europe, and South America."

"We are honored that Forrester named Huawei’s data center CloudEngine switches a leader," said Leon Wang, President of Huawei Data Center Network Domain. "Huawei believes that leading switching performance, openness, and flexibility are very important. The CloudEngine switches perform well in these aspects and win industry recognition. We will also focus on 400GE super capacity, zero-packet-loss intelligent experience, and autonomous driving network to provide the optimal solution, building data center networks in the intelligence era and helping customers achieve business success."

Since the series’ launch in 2012, Huawei CloudEngine switches have maintained robust market growth due to their leading product capabilities and have been serving more than 9200 enterprises in over 140 countries, especially in the finance, Internet, cloud service, and telecom industries, accelerating the digital transformation of thousands of industries.

"The new Acer Spin 7 is an Always On, Always Connected notebook capable of keeping up with the modern work-from-anywhere lifestyle with its sleek form factor supporting up to multi-day use on a single charge."

"We’re excited for Acer to launch their first-ever Windows on Snapdragon PC and launch the first device powered by the breakthrough Snapdragon 8cx Gen 2 5G compute platform," said Keith Kressin, SVP & GM, Computing & Edge Cloud, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc.

Ultraportable for Style-Conscious Professionals

The Spin 7 is a 14-inch convertible notebook designed for style-conscious professionals, featuring a polished-looking steam blue chassis offset by gold accents. A magnesium-aluminum alloy body allows the body to measure in at just 1.4 kg and 15.9 mm thin, making it portable enough to practically disappear into a backpack or briefcase. This attention to detail extends to the notebook’s 14-inch Full HD IPS display, which covers 100% of the sRGB gamut, allowing for vivid and sharp colors. 

Antimicrobial Solutions[4] for a Safer Computing Experience

The touch screen is covered by a layer of Antimicrobial Corning® Gorilla® Glass.

Adecco Group Announces Jordan Topoleski, 20, from the United States as 2020 “CEO for One Month”


Preparing the Next Generation to Lead in Uncertain Times

Program Builds Next Gen Leaders with Focus on a "New Leadership Profile"

ZURICH, Sept. 4, 2020

  • Jordan Topoleski, 20, from the United States has been named as the Global CEO for One Month to work alongside Alain Dehaze, CEO, the Adecco Group
  • Adecco Group CEO for One Month program builds next generation leaders, with a focus on the new profile of leadership required in a post-pandemic world of work
  • The pandemic has demanded a new set of required leadership competencies and these expectations will accelerate the reinvention of the modern-day leader.

Jordan Topoleski, 20, from the United States was today named the Adecco Group’s 2020 Global CEO for One Month. For the first time, the program was performed fully online. The CEO for One Month program is designed to build the next generation of leaders, informed by Adecco Group research that shows the emergence of a new profile of skills and qualities needed for future leaders to succeed in an increasingly uncertain world.

 

 

Following an eight-month selection process involving more than 200,000 applications from 34 countries, Jordan was chosen to spend one month serving alongside the Adecco Group CEO, Alain Dehaze. He will contribute to the day-to-day running of the world’s leading HR solutions company and help shape the future world of work.

Beginning in February, this year’s CEO for One Month selection process adapted quickly to COVID-19 requirements and used the situation to help young people to think about what it means to lead in challenging times. The process began when 34 talented young leaders of tomorrow were chosen to shadow the Adecco Group’s respective country CEOs. Ten finalists were then chosen to take part in the ‘virtual global bootcamp’ this week, which took them through a series of assessments and exercises to test their abilities and develop their leadership potential. At the close of the bootcamp, Jordan was selected as the Global CEO for One Month.

This year’s program comes at a time when sweeping workplace changes are coming in a post-pandemic world of work – especially around the expectations of leaders and what it takes to succeed.

The command and control approach of the past is quickly shifting toward more distributed leadership models. Being a ‘high EQ leader’ is crucial, with empathy, trust and a focus on wellbeing and culture-building critical. Research from the Adecco Group shows that the pandemic has demanded a new set of leadership competencies and that these expectations will accelerate a reinvention of the modern-day leader:

  • 74% of employees want their managers to demonstrate a leadership style focussed on empathy and a supportive attitude
  • 70% of employees say that support for their mental wellbeing will be important to them after the pandemic.

A further study commissioned by the Adecco Group which assessed ‘Gen Z’ leaders of tomorrow, found that many young people already possess many of the attributes needed to succeed. The report found that in many areas, including deductive reasoning and how world views are processed and applied to a strategic problem, the ‘Gen Z’ group showed stronger leadership traits than many current business leaders.

Commenting on today’s announcement, Adecco Group CEO, Alain Dehaze, said:

"It gives me great pleasure to welcome Jordan to the Adecco Group and I am looking forward to working alongside him and learning from his insights on the future of work and leadership.

CognitIOn by Modern Hire Launches to Highlight Need for Ethical, Transparent Hiring Approach

CognitIOn by Modern Hire and its latest innovation, Automated Interview Scoring, empower enterprises to use cutting-edge science to make more predictive, engaging and fair hiring decisions

CLEVELAND and DELAFIELD, Wisconsin, Sept. 2, 2020 — Modern Hire, the all-in-one enterprise hiring platform that enables organizations to continuously improve hiring experiences and outcomes with trusted science and technology, today unveiled CognitIOn by Modern Hire.

CognitIOn by Modern Hire is the company’s industry-leading science, represented by its capabilities and expertise in data science, predictive analytics, artificial intelligence and industrial-organizational (I/O) psychology. It is also built on Modern Hire’s deep experience with HR and hiring process, legal know-how and candidate focus, representing the deepest and broadest talent intelligence available to hire the most diverse, engaged and qualified workforce.

"Our team of Ph.D. data scientists and industrial-organizational psychologists are the best in their field and absolutely integral in everything Modern Hire does," said Mike Hudy, Ph.D. and Chief Science Officer at Modern Hire. "The rigorous and ongoing science powered by CognitIOn by Modern Hire enables our clients to make more personalized, data-driven hiring decisions and provide a superior candidate experience. This launch reaffirms our commitment to driving research and innovation in our field while delivering practical new ways of measuring and understanding human performance in the workplace."

CognitIOn by Modern Hire is powered by tens of millions of annual candidate interactions, practical application of advanced AI techniques, and nearly two decades of diligent, data-driven client research and practice by the company’s 40+ Ph.D. industrial-organizational and data scientists. By combining comprehensive expertise in I/O psychology, talent selection science, diversity and fairness, candidate experience, the practical application of ethical AI, data science, advanced analytics, and employment law, CognitIOn by Modern Hire empowers its enterprise clients – including 47 of the Fortune 100 – to make more transparent, predictive, engaging and fair hiring decisions.

CognitIOn by Modern Hire is embedded in all of the company’s products and innovations, including its Automated Interview Scoring (AIS), an on-demand video interview feature that uses AI to evaluate candidate responses and provide recruiters and hiring managers with recommended scores to ensure a more fair, unbiased and complete hiring experience. AIS is currently available to existing clients as part of an Early Access Program and will go to general release later this year.

AIS uses proven science, natural language processing (NLP) and deep learning to reliably replicate the judgment of professionally trained experts. While most models of this type are deployed with a 60% reliability factor compared to humans, Modern Hire presented scientific study results showing that AIS received a reliability score of 89% at a recent Society of Industrial-Organizational Psychology event – proving that AIS arms interviewers with a tool that enables more consistent, accurate, efficient and fair hiring decisions.

"Interviewing is a traditionally subjective and biased process. Through no fault of their own, interviewers incorporate factors not related to the job into their evaluation of candidates," said Eric Sydell, Ph.D. and EVP of Innovation at Modern Hire. "AIS removes the subjective, biased nature of the interviewing process by focusing only on the job-relevant aspects of candidates’ responses and evaluating every candidate on the exact same criteria. This creates a more transparent, ethical and consistent hiring process, while still enabling the interviewer – not the AI – to make the final decision."

CognitIOn has been leveraged by Walmart, Amazon, CVS Health and Bank of America to win four of the last five prestigious Human Resource Impact Awards from SIOP and SHRM. These awards recognize each organization’s hiring solution for saving millions of dollars annually in reduced turnover, saving decades of hiring manager time in increased efficiency, supporting extremely high-volume hiring, and delivering an innovative and engaging candidate experience.
