Leave a comment

With the Hancom Mail client, Hancom Office offers complete office productivity

  • Compatible with Exchange, Google Workspaces, and other infrastructures
  • Feature-rich functionality for organizing correspondence, meetings, tasks, and more
  • Responsive, intuitive, interface with intelligence to streamline common tasks

SEATTLE, Dec. 14, 2020 — Hancom (KOSDAQ: HAANSOFT) today announced Hancom Mail, a Windows-based communications and calendaring application that integrates with Hancom Office, Microsoft Exchange, Gmail, and other major messaging infrastructures. With the addition of Hancom Mail, available in January 2021, Hancom rounds out its suite of professional-grade MS Office-compatible office productivity tools.

Organizations looking for a low-cost yet full-featured Windows-based communications and calendaring application will appreciate Hancom Mail. Individuals can organize their inboxes and contacts, manage calendars, tasks and notes, even communicate in real-time with other Hancom Mail users via built-in chat. The application has an intuitive interface that is familiar and engaging from the get-go. Individuals can easily import existing data files from Outlook, Outlook Express, Windows Mail, Thunderbird, and other applications.

"Hancom Mail delivers a smart mix of communications and calendaring features for Windows users," says Dr. Wonsok Yun, President of Global Business at Hancom Group. "Hancom Mail includes intelligent features for managing email, calendars, notes, tasks, and chat in a single, fully-customizable workspace that interacts seamlessly with Microsoft Exchange, Google Workspaces, and other backend infrastructures."

Hancom Mail is built on a solid foundation, relying on proven messaging technologies from eM Client. It occupies a small footprint in storage and is compatible with all major platforms, including Google Workspace, iCloud, Office 365, Outlook.com, Exchange, MacOS Server, IceWarp, SmarterMail, Kerio, and MDaemon, and well as generic IMAP, and POP3-based systems. It automatically backs up an individual’s email data, so there’s minimal risk of data loss.

A more intelligent email experience

Hancom Mail makes it easy for users to exchange messages and stay organized. Users can tag mail messages, tasks, notes, and calendar events for easy discovery and recollection. A superfast search engine makes it a snap to find messages, tasks, notes, events, and contacts. And for those times when an email message doesn’t quite seem like the most efficient way to make a point, Hancom Mail supports integrated real-time text and video chat. Users can simply start a text or video conversation instead of writing out a response—which is often a far better way to arrive at consensus quickly.

Hancom Mail also provides powerful features for encryption, translation, inbound message monitoring, search within attachments, template management, mass mailings and merges, and more. A rules engine can streamline workflows and facilitate message organization, alerts, and reminders. Smart shortcuts ensure that the features users are most likely to want to access in a given situation are always close at hand.

Pricing and Availability

Hancom Mail will be downloadable from the Hancom Office Store in Q1 of 2021. Pricing has yet to be announced.

Ombori and Bambuser Enter Strategic Partnership for Digital Omnichannel Experiences – Launching Virtual Queuing System

Leave a comment

Partnership combines live streaming with seamless display and mobile experiences in public environments to delight visitors and build relationships with brands

STOCKHOLM, Dec. 11, 2020 — Interactive live shopping provider Bambuser and interactive retail technology company Ombori today announce a strategic partnership to jointly launch the next generation of digital store experiences.

For several years, retail has faced new challenges and changed at a rapid pace. As a consequence of the ongoing pandemic, that pace of change has increased dramatically, exposing today’s retailers to the immediate need to transform their stores for imminent consumer needs, behavioral changes, and trends.

Ombori Grid is a platform that powers digital experiences in physical spaces by offering ready-to-use, customizable, modular solutions for interactive screens and mobile devices in-store. One-to-One is a SaaS solution and part of Bambuser’s Live Video Shopping suite that allows retailers to offer highly-personal live streaming interactions with experts from across store locations to shoppers directly via mobile, tablet, or computer.

Ombori and Bambuser have today teamed up to offer the next generation of innovative solutions to support retailers in their ambitions of creating seamless omnichannel experiences. The new partnership combines Ombori’s re-usable architecture’s strength and flexibility that bridges Cognitive Services, IoT, Mobile Phones, and Digital Signage with Bambuser’s proprietary live streaming solutions.

By using Omni-queue, the store staff can handle a combination of physical and online visitors in the same queue, which creates efficient use of staff resources. At the same time, a visitor can easily be switched to an online specialist in a different location (eg, in another store or working remotely) to give them the best possible service. The companies’ first joint customer is Kjell & Company, one of Scandinavia’s leading consumer electronics retailers.

Andreas Hassellöf, CEO of Ombori, said, "Together with Bambuser, we will offer the market’s most efficient omnichannel solution for gaining and retaining customers. The entire workflow will be automated, which creates a friction-free process and a clear overview of the workload throughout the chain. This leads to more productivity, increased customer satisfaction, and hence profitability."

Maryam Ghahremani, CEO of Bambuser, said, "By integrating our technology with Ombori, the retailer will have an easy-to-use system that the staff uses. They just need to `call on the next customer,’ and the system selects the right visitor, whether it is a digital ticket, a paper ticket, or a pre-booked visit. The connection between Ombori and Bambuser is super strong because then the employee can work in the same queuing system, regardless of whether it is a physical customer visit or an online visit."

Martin Knutson, CTO of Kjell & Company, said, "We always strive to create the best possible experience for our customers. Together with Bambuser and Ombori, we will transform our online queue system into a new central Omni-queue. We look forward to having all our customer interactions regardless of channel in a customized and streamlined system where all our resources, online and offline, can build and support each other."

Bambuser, Ombori, and Kjell & Company will make a joint appearance at Ombori’s Special Event today at 5 PM CET (8 AM PT, 11 AM ET) that will be broadcasted here: https://youtu.be/Y_EpQ8B2OKk

According to Forrester, "Digital decisioning platforms (DDPs) allow application development and delivery (AD&D) pros to combine the best of human decision logic with the best of AI to implement application-embedded automated decisions, i.e., digital decisions."

FlexRule was among 13 digital decisioning platform companies to be evaluated in this report based on current offering, strategy, and market presence. Forrester evaluated FlexRule™ Advanced Decision Management Suite, an end-to-end decision automation platform that provides decision authoring and decision intelligence capabilities to enable companies to embrace changes and ensure operational decisions are optimized, customer-centric, and situation-aware.

Forrester notes that "FlexRule has strengths in decision intelligence and collaboration. It stands out for its all-in-one decision and automation tools to quickly build applications. FlexRule also stands out with its capability to chain decisions together (it calls this capability "decision graphs"); create long-running decisions, where parts of decision logic allow for some other process to respond to a request asynchronously; and create semi-automated decisions, where human intervention may be necessary at any point."

FlexRule provides end-to-end decision automation powered by the decision-centric approach which is the core of digital decisioning that enables organizations to make optimized, customer-centric, and situation-aware decisions.

Arash Aghlara, CEO FlexRule, says, "Our all-in-one digital decisioning platform powered by decision-centric approach as a methodology empowers and guides organizations to adapt to changes effectively and efficiently. This ensures businesses will break the barrier of scaling in uncertain situations and changing environments."

Leave a comment

– U.S. growth accelerates as BetMGM plans to double its footprint in three months

– Entain to seek licence in Canada and becomes the first global sports betting and gaming operator to gain a licence in Latin America

LONDON, Dec. 10, 2020 — The global sports betting and gaming group previously known as GVC Holdings plc, marked the first day of trading under its new name with a range of measures to deliver on the vision and direction recently outlined by its CEO Shay Segev. The new measures extend across all the countries in which it operates with brands including bwin, PartyPoker, Ladbrokes, Coral, FoxyBingo and BetMGM.

Last month Entain announced a new strategy to deliver significant growth, driven by expansion in the U.S., growth across its core business, entry into new markets, and to new audiences. Entain, which has a very strong track record of 19 consecutive quarters of double-digit growth in its online business, also committed to lead responsible gaming with a new Sustainability Charter. Under this charter, the business pledged to focus only on regulated markets and use its proprietary technology to raise levels of player protection. 

As part of these plans to deliver growth and sustainability, Entain today confirmed strong momentum and market share gains in the U.S. for BetMGM, its joint venture with MGM Resorts. Between October and January BetMGM is adding five new states, doubling its population reach in three months to around 75 million across 12 states. Entain also disclosed that BetMGM’s most recent state launch in Tennessee has been its most successful go-live yet with revenues already ahead of those in more established states. Powered by Entain technology, BetMGM expects to be in over 20 states by the end of 2021.  

"We are firmly on track to take further leadership in the U.S. as well as in many other newly regulated markets that are now opening around the world." said Segev. "At the heart of our growth strategy is a determination to bring the best player experiences and protections to our industry as technology moves sport and interactive entertainment into a new era. In the U.S., we invested in building the right building blocks for the BetMGM platform to grow and become a long-term leader in the U.S., with superior technology and capabilities, and this is now paying off."

Entain also fleshed out its new Sustainability Charter, allocating money to new projects which will be delivered through its international Foundation around the world. It also gave further detail on its new Advanced Responsibility and Care (ARC) initiative, seeking to revolutionise player experiences and protection through world-leading research, data science and technology. Other new measures include:

Focus on new regulated markets: In line with its stated intention to focus on fully regulated markets, Entain today announced it has become the first global sports betting and gaming operator to gain a licence in Latin America and expects to go live in Colombia over the next month. Colombia is one of the first countries to issue licences in Latin America with others, such as Brazil preparing to follow. Elsewhere in the Americas, Canada is also moving ahead with regulation and Entain confirmed it will be applying for licencing in Canada.

  • Investing in people and communities: Entain has pledged to invest £100 million over five years in the Entain Foundation to fund responsible gaming initiatives and to support people and communities around the world where it operates. Today, it announced a series of international commitments: 

    UK: Entain and the three Trident Leagues (The Isthmian, Northern Premier and Southern Leagues) are to launch the Trident Community Foundation to help fund community-based projects. Grants will be open for the 228 football clubs that participate in the leagues.
    "Pitching In", Entain’s recently launched grassroots sport investment programme, is the founding partner of the Trident Community Foundation (TCF) and has donated £150,000 to establish the TCF fund, for distribution over the rest of the 2020/21 season.

    US: The Entain Foundation is rolling out an extensive state-by-state program with EPIC, a charitable organisation which works with former athletes and people who have overcome gambling addiction to help educate people on how to play safely.

    The U.S. project announced today with EPIC extends the program to a total of 15 Pro Sports teams and over 20 colleges across the country, including Harvard University, University of Oregon, and the Mid-American Conference. Entain and EPIC plan to work together to add additional professional sports leagues and colleges across the US during 2021. 

    Germany: The Entain Foundation will continue existing sports integrity projects in Germany and receive early funds to initiate further activities around responsible gaming.

    Australia:  The Foundation has announced initial new projects to advance responsible gaming with Relationships Australia, a community-based not for profit organisation which provides a range of counselling and support services to problem gamblers and their families. The new funding will be used to support a social media campaign to reach vulnerable audiences and to raise awareness of the signs of gambling addiction.

  • Advanced Responsibility and Care (ARC): Under this recently announced programme, Entain will combine its technology with research and insight from leading psychologists and Harvard to develop innovative experiences and safeguards for a new era in interactive sport and entertainment. To this end, Entain today announced that:

    Dr. Michael Auer,     a leading academic and member of the scientific community at the University of Hohenheim in Germany, specialising in behavioural psychology and addiction, will join Entain alongside Professor Mark Griffiths, Distinguished Professor of Behavioral Addiction and Psychology at Nottingham Trent University. They will evaluate and advise on improvements to Entain’s guidelines and processes in relation to responsible gaming.
