TXOne Networks wins categories “Most Innovative in Critical Infrastructure Protection” and “Editor’s Choice in ICS/SCADA Security” in 9th Annual Global InfoSec Awards at #RSAC 2021

SAN FRANCISCO and TAIPEI, May 18, 2021 — TXOne Networks, a leading provider in OT Security solutions, is proud to announce that they have won the following awards from Cyber Defense Magazine (CDM), the industry’s leading electronic information security magazine:

  • Most Innovative in Critical Infrastructure Protection
  • Editor’s Choice in ICS/SCADA Security

"TXOne Networks is thrilled to receive one of the most prestigious and coveted cybersecurity awards in the world from Cyber Defense Magazine. We knew the competition would be tough and overseen by top judges who are leading infosec experts from around the globe – we couldn’t be more pleased," said Dr. Terence Liu, CEO of TXOne Networks.

– Cross reference: Picture is available at AP Images (http://www.apimages.com) –

ICS cybersecurity is all about "protecting little things from big problems." Deploying inherently insecure Operational Technology (OT) devices and onboarding proper security solutions are a constant source of potential risk to asset owners. Common IT cybersecurity practices like clearly defined ownership, regular updates, and patches are often extremely challenging in the modern industrial environment. TXOne Networks streamlines and resolves these issues by deploying a first-of-its-kind technology, which has now been acknowledged by the professional judges of the Global InfoSec Awards 2021.

"TXOne Networks embodies three major features we judges look for to become winners: understanding tomorrow’s threats, today, providing a cost-effective solution, and innovating in unexpected ways that can help stop the next breach," said Gary S. Miliefsky, Publisher of Cyber Defense Magazine.

With Blackbaud Peer-to-Peer Fundraising™, powered by JustGiving®, Australia and New Zealand Social Good Organisations Can Transform Supporters into Advocates

Leave a comment

The Cloud-Based Solution Has Proven Itself a Game-Changer Across the Globe

CHARLESTON, S.C., May 13, 2021 — Blackbaud (NASDAQ: BLKB), the world’s leading cloud software company powering social good, recently announced a dynamic new way for social good organisations in Australia and New Zealand to fundraise without subscription or set-up costs. Blackbaud Peer-to-Peer Fundraising™, powered by JustGiving® provides a turnkey solution that turns supporters into advocates with tools that have already helped raise billions for nonprofits around the world.

"We are incredibly excited to see nonprofits in our region reach new audiences and amplify their impact by tapping into Blackbaud Peer-to-Peer Fundraising, powered by JustGiving," said Kevin Sher, president and GM of Blackbaud’s operations in Asia Pacific. "This peer-to-peer fundraising solution has already proven popular in other parts of the world, including the United Kingdom and the United States, and it is starting to take off in Canada. We know it will be a game-changer here, too."

With Blackbaud Peer-to-Peer Fundraising, powered by JustGiving:

  • Social good organisations and schools can launch fundraising campaigns and fold in supporters who have the flexibility to create related pages that have easy social media integration. The solution also enables do-it-yourself fundraising opportunities for individuals and teams with easy guidance to encourage creativity and maximise results.
  • Options include community-based fundraising, in-memoriam giving, livestreaming and fitness events.
  • Donors can use mobile wallet payment options like Apple Pay® and Google Pay™ and have the ability to store their credit cards for future donations.
  • Users have seamless integration with Blackbaud eTapestry®, and robust data API connectivity for Blackbaud CRM™ and Blackbaud Raiser’s Edge NXT® (coming soon to Australia and New Zealand), enabling back-end efficiency.
  • Anyone on an organisation’s team can design and export flexible custom reports.
  • The solution is available to all social good organisations and schools with no subscription cost, and it does not require other Blackbaud products.

Highlights from Across the Globe
School Fun Run, a cutting-edge, health-based Australian fundraising program for schools and clubs, serves to break down barriers and build up bonds through happier learning environments. The organisation is committed to helping communities lead healthier lives through three major interactive and experiential fun run events, leveraging Blackbaud to power online fundraising for schools and clubs across Australia and New Zealand. Recently, School Fun Run used the solution to power one New South Wales primary school in setting a new organisation record—raising over AU$100,000 during a single fundraising event. "Partnering with Blackbaud is one of the most significant things we have done in the 34 years of School Fun Run," said Brendan Hopp, Program Director at School Fun Run.

In July 2020, Canada’s iconic Science World used the solution to power its clever Nerd-a-thon to support vital outreach education efforts after the Vancouver attraction saw revenue plummet due to COVID-19.  "From our point of view, it was efficient, easy, secure, and allowed us to personalise the campaign for what we needed in our brand and our message," said Nancy Roper, Science World’s vice president of development. The "World Needs More Nerds" campaign raised more than CA$450,000 in six months.

In spring 2020, SAY: The Stuttering Association for the Young raised nearly US$250,000 when it used the solution to power fundraising for a live online benefit titled "Under One Moon," followed by a livestream "winter spectacular" that raised an additional US$220,000. Customised personal fundraising pages that SAY participants and other supporters linked to the event helped fuel the surge, with gift information flowing into Blackbaud’s flagship fundraising and relationship management solution, Blackbaud Raiser’s Edge NXT, and Blackbaud Merchant Services™, which SAY already had in place. Serving the US from its base in New York City, the nonprofit started SAY:Australia, its first international satellite chapter in 2019.

PMB and CEA Announce the Commissioning of iMiGiNE at Frederic Joliot Hospital (Orsay), Paving the Way for Next Generation Molecular Imaging Diagnostics

Leave a comment

PEYNIER, France, May 12, 2021 — An automated radiopharmaceutical production system iMiGiNE has been installed in Frederic Joliot Hospital (CEA) in Orsay, France and commissioned in December 2020. This disruptive system will revolutionize the radiopharmaceutical production, access and distribution. iMiGiNE will allow clinical centers to directly access disease-specific radiopharmaceuticals, otherwise rarely available, and take a first step towards personalized molecular imaging.

A shift in paradigm: microfluidic syntheses

iMiGiNE uses groundbreaking technology to produce radiopharmaceuticals: a single-use lab-on-a-chip device, with onboard precursors and solvents. Offering lower volumes and higher yields, this versatile microfluidic cassette can be used for process or tracer development as well as the production of single doses or small batches. It is integrated in a radiosynthesis box, a closed system to prevent cross contamination, operated by a robotized arm, and controlled through a supervision software.

An automated manufacturing process, from radiopharmaceutical selection to a filled syringe

iMiGiNE combines a cyclotron equipped with a superconducting magnet, making it more stable and compact, and a robotized radiochemistry to produce the selected radiopharmaceutical. Operated through a user-friendly supervision software, the cyclotron produces the selected radioisotope, which is then transferred to the radiochemistry for radiolabeling.

Unlocking the full potential of precision medicine

Only a few of more than a hundred molecules of clinical interest are used today in routine PET imaging. Why? Cumbersome processes and infrastructures, and costly manufacturing operations. Additionally, the use of some radioisotopes with a short half-life is challenging for smaller centers (110 min for 18F and only 20 min for 11C). iMiGiNE can break those barriers by relocating the production of radiopharmaceuticals close to the patient, and ultimately improving patient care. 

About PMB

PMB is a human-sized company located near Aix-en-Provence, in the south of France, specialized in the design and manufacture of complex particle accelerators systems for Medical, Research, Nuclear, Defense and Industry applications.

Historically, PMB started with the specialty of assembling dissimilar materials such as metals and ceramics. Since 2010, we have developed complex systems integrating particle accelerators. Among others, an automated system that produces in-house PET radiopharmaceuticals and linear accelerators for non-destructive testing (high-energy radiography), and radiotherapy. PMB is part of the French industrial group ALCEN.

About CEA

The CEA is a key player in research, development and innovation in four main areas: energy transition, digital transition, technology for the medicine of the future and defense and security. The CEA carries out fundamental research in the fields of Biotechnology and Health, the Physical Sciences, Earth Sciences and Astronomy, Physics and Nanoscience. Its core objectives are the production and publication of knowledge and expertise at the highest international level. In 2019, nearly 3,800 scientific papers were published by CEA researchers, three-quarters of which were the result of international collaboration. The CEA draws on all this knowledge to carry out its other activities.

Sacramento Kings and Bigtincan Launch Strategic Partnership

Leave a comment

— Agreement Provides Kings Access to Innovative Sales Enablement Technology —

SACRAMENTO, Calif. and WALTHAM, Mass., May 7, 2021 — Today, the Sacramento Kings and Bigtincan® (ASX:BTH), the global leader in sales enablement automation, announced they have entered into a 3-year strategic partnership. The two leaders in technology innovation are building upon their relationship by way of joint market education campaigns, including "Masters of Efficiency," which correlates NBA advanced statistics with Bigtincan’s sales efficiency tools and AI-driven approach.

"The Kings are committed to providing an exceptional fan experience through the use of innovative technology and partnerships," said Sacramento Kings President of Business Operations John Rinehart. "For the past six years, Bigtincan’s Engagement Hub based on ClearSlide has been a game-changer for multiple sales arms of the Kings by enabling an efficient, effective and engaging sales process."

"We are excited to partner with NBA’s technology leader to showcase how innovation enhances the fan experience starting with prospective buyers," said Bigtincan Co-founder David Keane. "Together, we are committed to delivering innovations that continually improve the customer experience when engaging with buyers in a digital world."

Their Engagement Hub, based on ClearSlide, helps salespeople focus on the most promising leads, saves time during the sales cycle, and improves coaching. The result is an efficient digital fan buying experience – removing uncertainty and giving the buyer confidence that they understand their seat accommodations and view. This aspect was crucial when moving into state-of-the-art Golden 1 Center so fans could visualize their new experience within an (at the time) unfinished arena.

Bigtincan content insights provide a complete picture of buyer engagement and interests in an easy dashboard that allows data to guide the most effective sales content strategy. The analytics provided guide marketers to invest in developing content that is actually being used and delivering the most ROI. The partnership allows Bigtincan and the Kings to build next generation intelligent data models that reveal new insights into buyer behavior and content effectiveness – enabling the best experience for every Kings fan and Bigtincan customer.

The Kings are committed to using technology to enhance the fan experience. In February, in collaboration with Intel Sports, the team announced the launch of Intel® True View at Golden 1 Center, providing fans access to unique video content, including 360-degree highlights and unbounded perspectives of basketball action. In January, the team became the first NBA team to adopt Mixhalo technology to deliver pristine, high-quality audio in real-time to attendees at sporting events and concerts. In November, the Kings announced the first-ever official professional sports team Discord server enabling fans to gather online to share in community, interact and expand access to exclusive experiences. For their tech-first mindset, the organization has been named the "Most Innovative Company in Sports" by Fast Company and the "Most Tech-Savvy Team" by SportTechie.

It does this by bridging the advisor-client communication gap by combining Advicent’s cash flow, trust and tax financial planning engines with InvestCloud’s digital client and advisor platform and existing market leading goal-based financial planning engines.

The acquisition comes as market volatility has accelerated a focus on financial planning – a market worth $52.9 billion in the US alone, and predicted to grow 3.5 percent in 2021. Advisors require connected experiences for their clients to enable seamless integration from financial plans to proposals, and on to implementation. The acquisition will give advisors a full-scope unified platform to achieve this, alongside providing client management and ongoing maintenance functions. It will offer a comprehensive digital experience across an advisor’s entire book of business, from mass affluent to ultra-high-net-worth individuals.

John Wise, Co-founder and CEO of InvestCloud, said: "InvestCloud’s planning engine will be enhanced with the combination of Advicent (NaviPlan). Advicent is a highly differentiated planning engine covering the simple goal-based assessments that most of the known financial planning engines cover; however, and importantly, Advicent also has advanced retirement income scenarios and estate/trust planning focusing on the very difficult planning aspects of tax and cash flow. This will be greatly leveraged by the market-leading InvestCloud planning solutions and platform used by advisors today. The Advicent team has created a great asset which, when combined with InvestCloud’s expertise in Digital Design, Gaming Theory, Decision Theory and Data Science, will accelerate the Advisor experience and drive better adoption and better outcomes. I’m thrilled to welcome Advicent into the InvestCloud family."

Wise continues "I’m delighted that, with the support of our Investment partners Motive Partners and Clearlake Capital, we are able to substantially grow both organically and by enabling great acquisitions such as Advicent."

Angela Pecoraro, CEO of Advicent, said: "We deliberately focused on the most complex components in the functional area of financial planning. InvestCloud is functionally strong and also extremely well known for design of intuitive user experiences. We are delighted to be joining forces with InvestCloud, the world’s best and most comprehensive financial digital platform for wealth, which specializes in intuitive and empathetic digital experiences, visualizations and workflows. The opportunity we see together is massive and our team has thought this for years – how powerful a partnership would be with InvestCloud. As digital plays a more and more critical role in the advisor experience, InvestCloud’s platform will enable our clients to reduce complexities, increase flexibility, and be a game-changing power for client-to-advisor collaboration by applying behavioral science to improve client outcomes."

InvestCloud’s latest acquisition further expands its global client base in North America and Europe, while deepening its dominance within wealth management, trust and estate planning, as well as private banking. The capabilities will be immediately available to InvestCloud’s existing global client base through its Digital App Store. Clients will be able to leverage InvestCloud’s design-first approach to digital and the power of the Advicent engines to create unparalleled empathetic plans for all clients.
